With The Noughties almost at an end, it’s time to reflect.

How will they best be remembered? Will people look back at a decade of global disasters, like 9/11, the world banking crisis and George W Bush? Or even the rise of talentless celebs such as Lily Allen, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears?

Well, we could list things all day, but being the shallow idiots we are, we have instead decided to focus on what really matters – the sexiest women. Call it a study of our shifting ideas about beauty and fashion if you like, but it’s really just another excuse to scour the internet for pictures of sexy girls.

The 1990s certainly has a lot to answer for.

Any decade responsible for The Spice Girls, Ally McBeal, New Labour and the return of Manchester United needs to take a long, hard look at itself. But the Nineties was also a force of much good. It brought us TV shows such as South Park, The Simpsons, Baywatch, The X-Files and Seinfeld.

OK, so technically Seinfeld and The Simpsons began just before 1990, but this no time to get bogged down in technicalities. We are only dealing with sweeping generalisations today.

Music? Well, it was the decade which saw the rise of Teen Spirit and Britpop, while at the cinema the movies were just as crap as they were in the Eighties. Told you we were only dealing with sweeping generalisations.

It was also the decade of Girl Power – best illustrated by the list below.

Yes, in the latest excuse to trawl through the internet looking for pictures of hot women, Hecklerspray has come up with a list of the hottest women during the 1990s. Believe us, it was not easy to keep the list down to just 26, but we somehow managed it through a potent mix of horse-trading, vote-rigging and coin-tossing.

We also made it easier by only focussing on the women who were present through most of the decade – so no Britney! Also, any sickos looking up this list hoping to see Alicia Silverstone will be disappointed. Sickos. Go get your kicks elsewhere.

26. Louise Wener

A Stu Heritage favourite, the Sleeper singer made a career out of looking gormless.

25. Hope Sandoval

We still live in hope of one day ‘getting to know’ the sultry Mazzy Star singer.

24. Lisa Loeb

Nice glasses.

23. Louise Nurding

Now married to former Premiership star Jamie Redknapp, Louise was the star of UK girl group Eternal, who did absolutely nothing memorable at all.

22. Teri Hatcher

OK, so she’s really annoying now, but think back to the times when she was in Superman. Happy times.

21. Sherilyn Fenn

Love her Twin Peaks.

20. Laetitia Casta

One of the hottest Victoria’s Secret models of all time – and that is some list.

19. Kate Moss

Not a personal favourite, but certainly the second most attractive women from Croydon ever.

18. Michelle Pfeiffer

Nice pussy.

17. Claudia Schiffer

More like Claudia Stiffer.

16. Kathy Ireland

OK, any Sport Illustrated swimwear model is just about perfect – but Kathy Ireland was a cut above.

15. Jenny McCarthy

Picture says it all.

14. Elle McPherson

The Aussie model had one Elle of a body.

13. Tiffany Amber Thiessen

Adored when she played the nice cheerleader in Saved by the Bell, Tiffany’s popularity shown shot up even further when she became a slut in Beverly Hills 90210.

12. Shania Twain

She impresses us much.

11. Shannon Elizabeth


Who would not want  a slice of this piece of American Pie?

10. Winona Ryder

Everyone’s favourite shoplifter.

9. Cindy Crawford

Where there’s a mole, there’s a goal.

8. Marisa Tomei

Loved her in The Wrestler – but why could she not have played a pole dancer in the 90s?

7. Christy Turlington

Put the ‘super’ in supermodel.

6. Gillian Anderson

We would all like to sully Scully.

5. Shannon Doherty

Naughty but nice.

Gotta love the Hewitt.
