* From some outfit called Big 7 Travel…
Look, some states are sexier than others – at least, that’s what the results of our survey of the sexiest states in America is proving. We asked our 1.5 million social audience to get an insight into where you’ll find the America’s most beautiful people.
Survey respondents were given no further specifications of the term ‘sexy’, so interpretation of the word was up to them.
‘Sexy’, according to the fail-safe Merriam-Webster dictionary, is classified as “generally attractive or interesting”. While beauty may be only skin deep, it’s probably little consolation to the unlucky states that have been voted as the least sexy. Sorry, Nebraska.
* Illinois finished… first?…
1st. Illinois
And the top spots of the sexiest states in America? Illinois takes first place and easily topped our poll for 2019. Who could disagree with this? It’s no wonder that so many of the celebrities, sportspeople and singers that come from here are outrageously attractive.
OK. I guess we’ll take it.

You guess?
With hotties like Tillman, Profit and Spanky Baise can there be a doubt that IL wins hands down?

The -25 winters and 100+ summers must give us a natural glow.

Clearly not based on some of the looks of our elected officials. And that’s clearly a bipartisan statement.

And to think that they didn’t consider CapFax commenters in awarding IL the prize

You wanna feel even more attractive? Visit Wisconsin.

They must be taking into account the secession of the Bloc Heads and all the aggrieved, over-taxed millionaires who have fled the state.

Sorry, had to do it.

From the website:
“You might recognise: Ernest Hemingway, Scout LaRue Willis”
I can say with quite certainty this was the first time in human history the phrase “Ernest Hemingway Scout LaRue Willis” has ever been uttered.

No thanks are necessary folks. Being this good looking is its own reward. Glad I could bring home the gold.

Who knew that California, Atlanta’s metro area, and Dallas just couldn’t keep up with Illinois in the looks department? Glaucoma can strike at any age , I guess.

Did someone at Big 7 Travel get ’sexiest’ mixed up with ’sexist?’
After all, I do live in the Eastern bloc.

I’m doing my part to keep Illinois sexy every day when I go outside. But I’m modest about it.

In the right light, at the right angle, and perhaps the set of Chicago Fire…this is probably possible. Botox after a few years are killing the coastal sexiness I guess.
- Ed Higher - Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 4:06 pm:
Are you sure they didn’t mean “sexist” ?
- Wensicia - Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 4:14 pm:
We’re tops in sex appeal and corruption? Correlation much?
