Lust List 08: Jessica Snipes

"Hanging out with Jessica makes me feel like Woody Allen opposite Diane Keaton," says Jessica's nominator. For those of you who haven't seen Annie Hall, that means Jessica's rare combination of beauty, brains and wit turns him into a stammering, nervous wreck.

How'd you get so hot?

This is such a ridiculous question. I don't consider myself hot. I guess you could say from my momma.

Select "Shuffle" on your iPod. What's the first song that will come up?

Probably be something from Echo and the Bunnymen. Either them or something from the Beatles.

I've just spilled red wine and marinara sauce on my white cotton shirt. What should I do?

Red wine and marinara sauce? Wear a bib next time.

Hannah Montana – WTF?

I don't know. No idea. She looks like a miniature 35-year-old. She looks fully grown, but she's 12. That's creepy.

Describe romantic.

God, that's hard. It would probably be the opposite of red roses and chocolate, 'cause I hate that crap.

What are goals you want to accomplish?

I just want to be a good person. Ultimately, I want to be a good person.

If you could change one thing about Atlanta, what would it be?

Public transportation. It's ridiculous. It sucks. Bad. Living in Atlanta, it doesn't feel like you're living in a city. It's not like New York City. It's a whole bunch of little disconnected neighborhoods. It'd be cool to have a great downtown that's active. And Atlanta needs more jazz clubs.

It's endearing when ...

Hmmm, that's tough. You open the door for me? Oh, no, when you make a mix CD for me.

What's the one thing you've been waiting for a boyfriend/girlfriend to do that they've never done?

Spontaneously take me on a trip somewhere. Not necessarily a romantic getaway; it could even be some trip to see a concert. But to surprise me and say, "Let's go."

Tell us about your first kiss.

It was very awkward. I think I was 11, and with this guy on the school bus. And we built it up for a long time. And then we kissed and it was real quick and tight-lipped. The second one was much better.

What's your pettiest relationship deal-breaker?

Musical taste. If we don't have any bands or artists in common, it won't work. That's pretty petty, isn't it?
