Update: Gets these posted by Saturday, Nov. 15! We'll select some for inclusion with the Salon list. KL

Salon launched its Sexiest Man Living! list two years ago, bolding asserting that "not all turn-ons start with a spray-on tan," and offering a corrective to People's annual celebration of all that is vanilla.  Sure, the Salon list has included the occasional pretty boy. But  this world, the libidinal wizards behind the SML curtain assure me, is ordered not by the whiteness of teeth or rock-hardness of abs but by that ineffable spark that starts in the head and ignites somewhere else. It's a land where the Colbert or Pepin can mingle easily with the Damon or Clooney. It's like a liberation of sexy. 

So who flips your switch? Who floats your boat? Who butters your popcorn, polishes your apple, cranks your chain? Who blows your skirt up, tickles your ivories, sweetens your coffee? Who irons your sheets, cleans you guters, shreds your tax returns and recycles your plastic? Huh? Tell us. We want to know! 

We want your own nominations for Salon's 2008 Sexiest Man Living! We'll feature your posts on Open Salon, of course, and several will also be selected for inclusion in Salon's official list. Just be sure to tag your post: Sexiest.

For inspiration, here are the first two lists, in 2006 and 2007.
