It's kinda of funny, most of childhood memories are of family barbecues where my dad, uncles, and their "borracho" friends would debate about which starlet was hotter:
Sophia Loren or Raquel Welch?
And this debate (to the dismay of my mom and aunts) would literally carry on for hours till most them were passed out from Jose Cuervo and Budweiser!
(What's even funnier is that I didn't even know one of these beautiful legends was Hispanic! When you're young and you hear the name "Welch" you don't automatically think Latina. I didn't find this out till years later.)
As I began to learn more about these amazing women, there is so much that makes them "hot" besides there obvious beauty.
SOPHIA LOREN
Born Sofia Costanza Brigida Villani Scicolone, she began her career doing pageants in Italy. She eventually began her film career around 1950 and has been a legend in the business ever since! She is the one of the few women ever to have won an Oscar and a Grammy which makes her pretty BADASS in my book!
Next up:
RAQUEL WELCH
Born Jo Raquel Tejada, ra, Raquel caused puberty to come early for every young boy who watched One Million Years B.C. where you she exploded on the screen in that famous tattered bikini (shown in the first pic)! From that point on she has starred in many movies and been one of the biggest sex symbols in Hollywood Much like Sophia, there is talent behind the sexiness! She had won a Golden Globe for her performance in the Three Musketeers, and has been nominated several other times!
CONCLUSION
Is there really a loser here? Both of these women are extremely sexy in their unique and (obvious) way. I guess it's just a matter of preference. But at the end of the day, no matter what the outcome, something beautiful to look at on a Thursday means we're all winning right?
