Beyoncé And Blake Lively Top The Victoria's Secret 'What's Sexy Now' 2012 List!
If we were ever going to seek guidance on what’s sexy, then there couldn’t be a better group of girls to grill than the legendarily sexy Victoria’s Secret Angels. Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Allessandra Ambrosio have a wealth of experience in this department and fortunately for us, we’ve not had to do the embarrassing task of actually getting in touch, because our favourite supermodel hotcakes have released their ‘What’s Sexy Now’ list for 2012, with a party at Mr C in Beverley Hills and a video revealing the results. Forget the arrival of Cannes this week, right now we want to know who Angels-In-Residence Doutzen Kroes, Lindsay Ellington and Erin Heatherton backed to win sexiest mama, best summer style and the most killer legs….
Beyoncé should be proud of her sexiest mama mantle, Blake Lively can be pleased as punch with her top summertime style and Stacey Keibler (actress/model/wrester and George Clooney’s girlfriend) is the official owner of the best legs according to planet VS. Also living up to the Angels’ high standards were Britney Spears for sexiest songstress (we spy a comeback!), Annalynne McCord for best bikini bod and Emma Stone scooped up the honour of sexiest sense of humour. You can watch the Angels announce their winners in the video above.
As well as the launch of their high end designer lingerie line "Victoria’s Secret Designer Collection", it's a big year for the American lingerie megabrand in terms of the British market, with the plan to open three UK stores. Women (and men!) of London will no doubt rejoice in June, when London’s first ever branch arrives in Mayfair; Westfield Stratford City shopping centre will follow and the third is TBC. So, will we see some Brit girls on the sexy list for 2013?

Baristas in bikinis; Kahwa coffee perks up downtown Tampa; Mojitos' lively Latin menu

GANDY — Coffee, tea — and, uh, cleavage?
The sexy servers at Baristas Coffee Co. are often called Hooters girls on caffeine by customers driving up to the espresso stands for a jolt of java.
"We employ extremely attractive females who wear alluring, sexy costumes,'' said Barry Henthorn, CEO of the publicly-traded Baristas, naming French maid, sailor girl, pirate, angel and devil as some examples.
"That's no regulation uniform that 'policewoman' wears,'' he said. And not much is camouflaged on Military Mondays, the day servicemen and women get a discount on the specialty coffees.
On Jan. 23, the eighth location, and the first in Florida, opens on Gandy Boulevard at Himes Avenue. Not coincidentally, it shares the Publix parking lot with Starbucks.
"We found we do very well when we go head to head with Starbucks,'' Henthorn said. "We have an incredibly high-quality product." Light breakfast fare, muffins and such, are sold as well as beverages. The first Baristas opened in Seattle in October 2009 and Henthorn has expectations of 50 more this year.
Besides hiring young women and peddling franchises, Henthorn is helping to cast a reality show based on the drama-filled lives of the employees as they vie for top shifts.
"These girls make exceptionally good money. Tips can add up to thousands a week,'' he said. "The competition is tough. There's a lot of cattiness."
He said he couldn't identify the cable network that will carry the show being produced by award-winning M & M Productions. Casting will take place in Tampa on Jan. 30; shooting begins the next week.
Despite the baristas' apparel (or lack thereof), Henthorn says the shop is appropriate for all.
"We want to make things comfortable, so you can drive up with your kids,'' he said. "Not everybody is, but it's nothing you wouldn't see on cheerleaders on NFL Sunday."
Baristas, 3601 W Gandy Blvd., will open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Kahwa has new place to sit, sip and chat
Kahwa Coffee offers a much less risque caffeine fix in its newest location, which opened Jan. 9 in "Rivergate Tower." (Owner Raphael Perrier would rather you not refer to his third cafe as being inside the Beer Can building.)
"We call it the Cube atrium,'' said Perrier, listing a variety of locally roasted coffee blends, prepared as cappuccino, espresso, latte and more, along with French pastries, croissants and baguettes. At lunch time, the menu expands to sandwiches, salads and quiche.
Perrier and his wife, Sarah, also run two popular Kahwa coffee shops in downtown St. Petersburg. In February, they will open their fourth, an espresso bar, in downtown Tampa's Element condominium at 808 N Franklin St.
Kahwa Coffee Espresso Bar and Cafe, 400 N Ashley Drive, is open from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Visit kahwacoffee.com or call (813) 225-2040.
Mojito eatery, lounge opens in Crowne Plaza
A New Year's Eve grand opening launched Mojito restaurant and lounge on Kennedy Boulevard in the West Shore area.
"You don't feel like you're in a hotel at all,'' says Sharon Haley, director of sales and marketing, describing the menu as "edgy, Havana-style." Mojitos, of course, come in many flavors.
Tapas dishes include deep fried lobster tail served with papaya, flank steak turnovers, pulled chicken and cheese tostones and jumbo lump crab cake with housemade mango salsa.
For now, dinner only is served, but a lunch menu and hours are coming in February.
Mojito is in the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore Hotel, 5303 W Kennedy Blvd. Hours are 4 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday; 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday; noon to 1 a.m. Saturday; and noon to midnight Sunday. Visit cptampawestshore.com/tampa-dining.php or call (813) 289-1950 for more information.
