We're
not sure how Playboy's (sadly) Safe For Work list of the ten "sexiest"
female CEO's in the US qualifies as "sexiest" or even "sexy." Maybe
it's the fact that these women probably make lots of money that appeals
to the writer.
Even if you think these are ten incredibly hot
babes, it's hard to see what's so appealing about seeing them on the
Playboy site in their birthday business suits.
For example, check out the standouts:
Who she is: Julie Smolyansky [see above photo]
CEO of: Lifeway Foods; makers of kefir and other specialty dairy products
Age: 33
2008 revenue: $38.7 million
Year founded: 1986
Website: lifeway.net
Why she’s on top: Julie became CEO, treasurer and
president when her father, the founder, died of a sudden heart attack.
She went back to work the next morning, and under her direction the
company more than quadrupled its stock price. A fitness junkie, she
ends every day with a trip to the gym. It's obvious to us that all her
investments are yielding impressive returns.
What, no lingerie photos or mock-Got Milk? shots from her session? And no punning remarks?
This one has the lingerie connection and a porn star's last name, but... no luck:
Who she is: Claire Chambers
CEO of: Journelle, a lingerie retail company
Age: 29
2008 revenue: $2 million
Year founded: 2007
Website: journelle.com
Why she's on top: After spending a few years in the
buttoned-up worlds of management consulting and investment banking, she
slipped into something a little more comfortable: lingerie. Now she
spends her days letting women everywhere know that sexy and
sophisticated underthings aren't just for special occasions, they're
the kind of luxury they should indulge in every day. We couldn’t agree
more.
This one's more like it... but... still lacking in the NSFW department:
Who she is: Kerry Knee CEO of: Flirty Girl Fitness, a fitness lifestyle company Age: 38 Number of employees: 120 Year founded: 2005 Website: flirtygirlfitness.com Why she's on top: A former IT exec and calculus major
from Toronto, Kerry—and her sister Krista—opened Flirty Girl Fitness as
a social club where women can sweat hard in classes like Hottie Body
Boxing and XXX Power Strip, then play hard at the "Flirty Girl Bar"
afterward. We're burning calories just thinking about it.
