Gerald R. Ford 1913-2006

                                                   NOT HOT
                                                         HOT
                                                    And just for Emphasis
                                                                          

Possibly best known as the only president in US history to have never been elected, Ford also may have been the most athletic president in US history. Ford played football at University of Michigan, and coached football and boxing at Yale. I guess you can't just rely on sex appeal to win elections.....

Louisa May Alcott 1832-1888

NOT HOT

HOT

Louisa May Alcott based the character Jo, in the beloved childhood classic, "Little Women" on herself. No wonder Laurie was in love with her......

Booker T. Washington 1856-1915

                                               Handsome perhaps, but NOT HOT....
                                                              HOT
               Washington was an influential political figure and educator in an extremely turbulent time. He was also hot.

Charlie Chaplin 1889-1977

                                                          NOT HOT
                                                          HOT

                                                                              
This is one situation in which makeup definitely does not improve one's looks....

Rutherford B. Hayes 1822-1893

                                                        NOT HOT
HOT

The 19th President was apparently ranked by C-SPAN as the tenth worst president of all time. But, I bet if C-SPAN ranked the presidents by hotness Hayes would top the list....though it is C-SPAN so you never know....

Mark Twain 1835-1910

                                                                     NOT HOT
                                                                              HOT
         While the handlebar mustache and white hair are endearing, most pictures of Mark Twain look like he'd make a terrific grandfather.  Think again! Apparently, prior to his prolific literary career, Mark Twain was quite the attractive man.

Leo Tolstoy 1828-1910

                                                              NOT HOT
HOT 

                                                                                  
Grizzled 19th Century Russian authors usually aren't attractive (just google young Dostoevsky for proof) but young Leo Tolstoy somehow breaks this mold.  This is especially true if you are into angsty, brooding men. If so,  then young Leo Tolstoy is for you. очень жарко!

Special Edition- Historical Figures That Used to Be Heinously Ugly

                                                          NOT HEINOUSLY UGLY
HEINOUSLY UGLY
(WHAT NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OF)

I couldn't help but include a special addition in which I celebrate a historical figure that grew into his or her looks. Tony Blair is in fact the inspiration for this particular theme. I always assumed Tony Blair was somewhat attractive in his younger days, then again, the 1980s were a bad time for mostly everyone. Still, this is inexcusable. There is absolutely nothing good about this picture.

Dick Cheney-1941-

                                      NOT HOT (Even Less Hot than Huckabee)

                                                     (Sort Of) HOT

While I wouldn't directly admit that young Dick Cheney was actually "hot" per se, the fact that he looked like a normal, fairly attractive, fairly non-threatening young man is enough to warrant inclusion in this blog.  It's not enough to warrant a euphemism, however.

John Roberts 1955-

(For a Supreme Court Justice maybe, but for the general population) NOT HOT

HOT

Like Huckabee, he's not necessarily a "historical figure" yet, but after finding this picture I couldn't resist including him in this blogpost. With looks like that, I hope he doesn't abstain from voting in my favor.....

Thomas Edison 1837-1931

                                                                      NOT HOT

HOT


His creation of the light bulb wasn't the only thing that was electric....apparently his looks were too!

Boris Yeltsin 1931-2007

NOT HOT


HOT

Yeltsin gets two just so we can all admire him from multiple angles. He can be President of My Supreme Soviet anytime.....

Mike Huckabee

Really NOT HOT

HOT
                                                                            
While he is socially and fiscally conservative, apparently he was in no way conservative in regards to sex appeal.

Adlai E. Stevenson 1900-1965


NOT HOT

HOT


He may have never won the presidency, but it is apparent he won in the looks department.....

Karl Marx 1818-1883

NOT HOT

HOT
Before the Communist Manifesto he was turning heads with his revolutionary good looks.....

Barbara Bush-1925

NOT HOT

HOT
Before the snow white hair and the presidential husband, Barbara Bush looked quite good in a bathing suit....

Pablo Picasso 1881-1973

NOT HOT

HOT

While the Influential Cubist Painter is usually remembered as balding and eccentric, clearly he was quite charming in his younger days....This gives new meaning to the modern lover's lyrics
Some People try to pick up girls, and get called assholes, this never happened to pablo picasso"

Ruth Bader Ginsburg-1933

HOT




Before she became the second female supreme court justice in 1993 (and the first jewish female justice), she was quite the attractive young lady.....(not that she isn't now...)

Woodrow Wilson-1858-1924




Dapper, But NOT HOT

HOT
Before he was the 28th President of the United States, who led Americans during WWI, he was a below average student at Princeton.....and kind of hot.

Joseph Stalin-1878-1953

NOT HOT

HOT
He slaughtered millions in the purges, was thought to be a sociopath, and led his country using the politics of terror, but before all that he was a pretty good looking guy.....
