Oh, kittens. Today, today is a special day. Today, in honor (celebration?) of the final three episodes of “The L Word” I have a treat for you. It is the first-ever Tank Top Tuesday-Off. That's right, tank top against tank top in a battle royal for sheer cotton hotness. While scanning my screencaps, I noticed that one group of ladies in particular gets the tanky toppy love from the costume department. And, to be honest, I couldn't think of a better trio to start Tank Top Tuesday-Off (as an added bonus, it sounds a little like we want to get their tank tops off...which admittedly isn't all that far from the truth). So, without further ado, I give you Bette vs. Shane vs. Tasha. And Bette
Shane
Tasha
Brutal, right? So, whose tank top reigns supreme? And, just in case of a split decision, I will consider a rematch.
there can only be one winner for me:
ReplyDeleteTASHA/rose rollins!
;)) babs
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer and more Jennifer
ReplyDeleteBette, Tasha, Shane
shane's appeal (for me) has been gone for a while...she's a hairstylist, yet she seems to have had the same hair for what seems like 15 years...it's not working for me anymore so i can't get past that to see her tank...
ReplyDeleteBUT
i believe it's a tie between bette and tasha. they both have lovely arms and they always seem to be wearing tanks that accentuate their brown skin. plus they both carry themselves as badasses - check bette in that red tank during the self-defense class (pass a tissue 'cause i'm drooling).
jennifer and jennifer by far
ReplyDeleteno match at all
the perfection
sorry for rose
Rematch! Give us more pics ;) For decision making reasons only of course...
ReplyDeleteTasha!
ReplyDeleteIt was a close contest--they both fill out their tank tops well--but I have to give the edge to Tasha.
ReplyDeleteTasha's tanks are like Bette's powersuits.
Tasha. Bette, while delicious in a tank, can really pull off a suit (in more ways than one). And Shane, although I have a soft spot for her, well...her tank tops are always too droopy.
ReplyDeleteTasha looks hot in a tank top, and it seems like it's natural to her on-screen personality. And those arms...!
Tasha's pretty incredible but Bette all the way!!!
ReplyDeleteTasha! She is cut and beautiful and her tanks fit just right...delicious.
ReplyDeletebette!
ReplyDeleteTasha, of course!
ReplyDelete1000 votes for Bette!
ReplyDeleteHonest, every female in my office said Better .. I swear .. pinkie swear!
what iampecola said
ReplyDelete- tasha!
Can we have Jennifer and Rose battle for Last Tank Top Standing? Turkish oil would be helpful too...
ReplyDeleteBette FTW.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I believe it is soo close that a rematch is in order
ReplyDeleteI have to say that Tasha has a good lead.
I agree that Bette rocks a tank but rocks a suit more...and shane yes...is too "droopy" she is better without the tank
Tasha...is perfect fit for a tank
Count me in the Tasha/Rose Rollins camp. Shane lost her appeal once she stopped eating. But Rose with that laugh and that smile and those eyes - oh my! Drool City here I come!
ReplyDeleterematch between Tasha and Bette! I cant decide!
ReplyDelete(but my heart will always belong to jennifer, of course)
Tasha for sure although that workout tanktop pic of Shane ain't half bad either... yum those arms. But Tasha definitely. Hair in a bun, perfect boobies and cut... winner.
ReplyDeleteBette Bette Bette
ReplyDeleteBette! Hands down! Tasha is hot in a tank top, but the contrast of Bette's power suits, and then suddenly there she is in a tank top, with those shoulders, and those collar bones... mmm. For The Win every time!
ReplyDeleteTough choice... but: Tasha!
ReplyDeleteB*e*t*t*e! Always.
ReplyDeleteAnd Noble prize to whoever invented tank top.
I vote for a delicious Tasha-Bette-Shane hybrid. Choosing is losing!
ReplyDeleteBette and Jennifer!!!! :)
ReplyDeletebut I don't mind a rematch ;)
Definitely BETTE!!!
ReplyDeletetasha!
ReplyDeleteok next rematch, power suits. Who wears it better.
ReplyDeleteTasha!
ReplyDeleteBonus, Tasha laughing in a tank top!
OMG, this was HOTT! I so wanted to vote for Bette/Jennifer. Not wanting to age myself, but Jennifer in the tank, in Flashdance.... But, my vote goes to Tasha. She is fine in a tank and they fit her so well. Love the shoulder/arm. My weak spot :)
ReplyDeleteTasha, Tasha, Tasha.
Jennifer/Bette. Hands down.
ReplyDeleteTASHA
ReplyDeleteoy, that's a tough one. Shane's always rocked my boat, but TASHA... yum, she's looking pretty darn hot in a tank
ReplyDeleteI love the way they ALL look, but on the tank top-front, my vote goes to Tasha!
ReplyDeleteShane and Tasha (because they aren't fond of BRAS :D
ReplyDeleteMs. Snarker, I will buy you a drink if you can find a picture of our mutual obsession, Rachel Maddow, in a tt. Please?
ReplyDeleteTasha/Rose!
ReplyDeleteTasha looks really hot
ReplyDeletebut i prefer by far the PERFECT Jennifer Beals... she just makes my mouth water.
Ugh this is hard! I love the one of Shane on the bed - just wish she had been staring at Carmen instead of crazy Jenny.
ReplyDeleteBut, my heart has always been with Bette, so Bette it will be.
Tasha!
ReplyDeleteOMG Tasha comes close to perfection in a tank top..but Tasha laughing is simply Pure Perfection!!!So..Rose all the way even though the competition was pretty hard =D
ReplyDeleteBette, hands down. :)
ReplyDeleteTasha second.. and Shane. Meh. Tank tops on Shane don't really do anything for me.. *shrugs*
Bette!
ReplyDelete(then Tasha... and Shane at the very bottom - she just doesn't what it takes to fill it out right)
tasha all the way
ReplyDeleteTasha! Bette in a close almost-tie.
ReplyDeleteShane's tanks don't fit her--did you notice the pocket of one was bigger than her breast?
Bette, of course!!!
ReplyDeleteBETTE PORTER!!!
ReplyDeleteBette, by a country mile
ReplyDeleteI think Bette wins, hands down. Though Tasha comes in a close second and Shane a distant third because it always looks like she's wearing some gross fat man's tank tops.
ReplyDeleteTASHA.
ReplyDeleteThe arms, the shoulders. The tank tops show that off very well.
Nuff said.
Tasha!
ReplyDeleteTasha. The arms...they are positively drool-worthy.
ReplyDeleteBETTE!!!!:) forever
ReplyDeleteJennifer/Bette!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh this is so hard!!!! But I have to say.... Tasha's got it goin' on!
ReplyDeleteIt's close between J-Beals and Rose Rollins.
ReplyDeleteBUT.
I'm gonna have to go with Rose on this one. That woman knows how to sport a tank top.
my vote goes for Tasha!!!! she fills that tank like no other! those arms and shoulders and that skin mmmmm god!! pure perfection!! TASHA FTW!!!
ReplyDeleteTasha looks much better.
ReplyDeleteTasha! Nothing can beat Rose Rollins' beautiful arms and skin and... :D
ReplyDeleteI love Shane/Kate, but she is just too skinny, and the tank tops they've put her in lately have been too sheer and too droopy. Not attractive. And Jennifer Beals is great and all, but I've never really seen the appeal...
tasha, hands down
ReplyDeleteBette. Always Bette, for me.
ReplyDeleteI vote for a rematch too because I know there are more great tank top screen caps out there of all 3 women!
ReplyDeleteBut my heart and all my other major organs vote for Bette...I have been wanting Jennifer to take her tank top off for years.
:P
BETTE
ReplyDeleteBETTE
BETTE
BETTE
BETTE
BETTE
BETTE
BETTE
BETTE
please JB/BETTE....she's the best in tank...look at her arms...lol:)
ReplyDeletethat's easy....BETTE PORTER!!!!:)look at her arms...pure beauty
ReplyDeletedo we have to consider Shane in this competition??????....yuk...
ReplyDeletethere's only one winner...BETTE PORTER
that's an easy poll.....BETTE FOREVER....i mean...look at her body!:)
ReplyDelete.....there can be just a winner...BETTE PORTER:)love her
ReplyDeletei think Bette's the BEST...even if she doesn't wear a tank
ReplyDeleteit's funny that we could choose Shane....she's too skinny to wear tank....so my vote go to the beautiful BETTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteBette of course!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe goddess.....sorry jennifer beals aka Bette Porter
ReplyDeletemmmm....i don't know...they are all good....but Bette might be a little better...so BETTE PORTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
ReplyDeletehands up..BETTE PORTER
ReplyDeletethare's no one more charming than Bette Porter in a tank...
ReplyDeleteand the BEST tank top tuesday goes to Bette Porter
ReplyDeletebette or tasha .....no maybe BETTE
ReplyDelete:) my sweetest Bette
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'm going to have to go with Rose Rollins on this one...though Beals is o so close. I think I'll ponder on this for a while...a very long while. *drool*
ReplyDeleteyou should more (Lword)poll!!!that's an interesting one...bette porter
ReplyDeleteBette!
ReplyDeleteShe has to win.. : )
How is this a contest?? Shane is not even in the same class as Tasha and Tasha though beautiful is just no match for Bette, not even close.
ReplyDeleteBette can even wear those pirate blouses and still be a hottie. The woman has no shame...
Bette all the way baby...
you should have posted the one with Bette trying to tear her tank apart while Jody is under her...however...my vote goes to Bette
ReplyDeletetasha, no doubt
ReplyDeleteBette!
ReplyDeleteahahahahh SHANE????really ????she shouldn't even be in this poll...BETTE 's the BEST
ReplyDeleteBette.
ReplyDeleteBette...she's so classy ...yes, even in a tank
ReplyDeleteMiss Bette...forever and ever
ReplyDeleteBette or Jb if you prefer
ReplyDeleteBette!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm afraid Tasha rocks supreme.
ReplyDeletemy oh my ...Bette porter !!!
ReplyDeletethere's no competition...BETTE PORTER ruleeeee
ReplyDeletei LOVE this poll...mostly because i can vote for my(in my mind)Bette Porter
ReplyDeleteIf there's a tank top poll than it MUST be winn by BETTE
ReplyDeleteWhat?... Shane?
ReplyDeleteBut no Tina tanks?
Allow me to remind you that Tina fills out a tank much better than Shane ever could:
Tina in Palm Springs
Tina at donor party
Tina on porch steps
p.s.
Dorothy - you have 7 links to 'Jodi' posts, but just two links to Laurel Holloman?
Not a Tina fan I take it, but surely you must appreciate LuH's courage in doing 'Two Girls', etc. yes?
bette porter...and i think Shane shouldn't be in it...you could have put Tina...in that black tank she dress ...when she was with Henry...forget what i said..
ReplyDeleteTasha
ReplyDeleteBette
Shane
Tina???please this are 3 good options...especially the BETTE option...
ReplyDeleteguys please...BETTE than SHANE than TASHA
ReplyDeleteThere's only ONE winner...bette porter
ReplyDeletePlease do more polls !!! i vote Bette
ReplyDeleteWhy there's Shane in this poll?its creepy....the winner is Bette
ReplyDeletebette porter
ReplyDeleteThe goddess Jennifer Beals (Bette)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
Tasha is a close second but... Shane??? she shouldn't be in the contest
Jennifer for me without a doubt
ReplyDeleteGotta go with Jennifer. Rose is a close 2nd.
ReplyDeleteTASHA!!!
ReplyDeletehands down.
Anyone else think there are a lot of similar 'anonymous' votes for Bette... Is someone stuffing the (ballot) box...?
ReplyDelete(I maintain my vote for Tasha)
Rose 'Tasha' Rollins!! No question! Come on.....
ReplyDeleteBette for sure. And this is my first and only honest vote as anonymous lol.
ReplyDeletebette for the win.
ReplyDeleteTASHA !
ReplyDeleteRose Rollins for sure.
ReplyDeletealso my word verif is "mousepid" which is what happens when a mouse and a hamster have babies.
i don't know it's a close tie, but i'm going to have to go with JENNIFER :D. god you just can't top the perfection!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tank top for Shane is the dark green one. It is well fitted and shows off her arms torso and hips which are my favorite parts of Shane.
ReplyDeleteThese new tank tops are not doing her any favors. I still vote Shane. Then Tasha
TASHA!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTasha all the way. 110%. she & alice are the only reasons I watch that show anymore.
ReplyDeleteTasha all the way!!
ReplyDeletewhile i do love Jennifer Beal's arms I must say Rose Rollins can rock the tank. I totally agree with iampecola, tank:tasha as powersuit:bette
ReplyDeleteOh, Tasha, no contest. Though I wouldn't mind a rematch between Tasha and Bette. Nope. Not one bit.
ReplyDeleteIt HAS to go to Tasha, that last pic decided it for me!
ReplyDeleteTasha hands down!
ReplyDeleteim a bette fan all the way, but when it comes to tank tops, i have to go with tasha, she looks gorgeous on them.
ReplyDeleteRose all the way.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with "iampecola" here.
Tasha, without a doubt
ReplyDeleteBette of course!
ReplyDeleteJennifer. Almost an impossible act to beat...
ReplyDeleteoh, yes!
ReplyDeletei looooove Bette, but in the tank top department, Tasha rules it all!
Bette, oh is anyone else even in it, why??
ReplyDeleteTasha for sure!
ReplyDeleteBette is the clear winner, with both tank top on and tank top off!!!
ReplyDeleteNo one wears it better than Bette!
ReplyDeleteAmirite!?!?
Bette, Bette, BETTE!
ReplyDeleteBETTE/Jennifer Beals
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Jennifer Beals....I can't help but vote for her...and will do so over and over again if needbe. Tasha looks pretty damn good too...Shane, love her smile, but not her arms.
ReplyDeleteShane dammit!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wouldn't protest to more pictures of Bette/Jennifer.
t.a.s.h.a.
ReplyDeleteBette would normally win this hands down, but, by these particular pictures alone, Tasha wins it. I , too, think you need to do a rematch between the two!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey all look great, but my vote goes to Tasha. Great idea for the tank off!
ReplyDeleteTASHA! Rose Rollins is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteand she would even give Bette a run for her money in the power suit department based on what she wore a couple of eps ago :)
As if there is any competition! Jennifer all the way! And another reason to be pissed at Mama Chaiken this season is that we haven't seen enough Bette in a tank top!
ReplyDeleteBETTE.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Rose Rollins, Jennifer Beals really knocks the tank tops out of the park.
Damn it, if it was battle of all-round hotness, it'd be Shane, hands down.
ReplyDeleteBut, as this a strict tank top only fight, my vote is with either Bette (Jennifer) or Tasha (Rose). And, damn, I think it might be Tasha.
Bette Porter...without a doubt. Tasha is a close second but doesn't quite meet the hotness level that BP does.
ReplyDelete"I've always been in love with Bette."
ReplyDeleteReally, I have been...
Bette! Bette! Bette!
Then again, my world revolves around Bette and Tina, so I really haven't taken notice of Tasha. That says a lot, doesn't it? :)
Jennifer Beals, for sure. Oh, those HOT arms. Mmmm. Tasha comes in at a close second, because she is awesomely hot in her tank topiness. And poor Shane is a distant third. Poor, poor Shane.
ReplyDeleteShane and Tasha are in a galaxy, far, far away from Bette. Shane, really? Heh. They're no competition for Bette/JB.
ReplyDeleteI still have hopes that *before* TLW ends, Laurel Holloman will be featured on TTT. Now, that's a woman who can rock a tank top.
Seriously... Shane?
Bette is the winner!!! hands down!
ReplyDeletebette, bette, bette!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer!
Tasha is my second choice (if I can't choose Bette again.)
Tasha.
ReplyDeleteThank you and good night.
Shane. Hands down totes.
ReplyDeleteholy comments batgirl....
ReplyDeleteI vote for Tasha
Jennifer Beals, please :)
ReplyDeleteBette/Jennifer fo'sho. Those arms and shoulders....that back. OMFG. Tasha/Rose is 15 years younger than Bette/Jennifer and yet Jen is amazing. I can't believe there are over 150 comments so far. TLW fans much? If IC had them parade around like this all the time, she would get 5 more years. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTasha!!! Without hesitation :)
ReplyDeletetasha for sure!
ReplyDeleteJB rocks the tanks with those arms. Rose is a close second, but only when she is wearing a tank and laughing. You forgot Luh in the "black stir-fry tank." Pretty hot also. Although, Luh rocks the jeans and black t-shirts better
ReplyDeleteGive me a T---T
ReplyDeleteGive me an A--A
Give me a S---S
Give me a H---H
Give me an A--A
An easy win by TASHA/ROSE ROLLINS!
ReplyDeleteBette, without doubt.
ReplyDeleteLook at her arms!
Who could resist that?
I know I couldn't. :)
Tasha wears a tank top like nobody's business. Then Shane, then Bette.
ReplyDeleteShane is a girl among women. Bette.all.the.way. The pic w/Bette in a black tank next to Jodi, she's wearing low riding pants w/a sliver of skin showing. So hot. So delectable.
ReplyDeleteBette fo' sho'.
ReplyDeletegots to go with Jennifer.
ReplyDeletemy damn this is nearly as serious as real voting!
ReplyDeletemy vote - tasha
Tasha ftw! She's both hot and dignified, mixed with badass ^_^
ReplyDeleteBette's hot, but not quite as awesome as Tasha in a tank.
And shane needs a haircut and a meal. Or ten.
Ms. Snarker, you sadist. This is like Sophie's Choice!
ReplyDelete(But if forced to choose: I'd have to give the edge to Bette.)
Tasha, absolutely. Those shoulders. 'Nuff said.
ReplyDelete[I'm not really intending to be anonymous, I just can't figure out the identity thing...]
tasha. definitely tasha.
ReplyDeleteTASHA
ReplyDeleteTasha, hands down. someone up top suggested RM in a tank top but to me, that just seems wrong! (I am a HUGE Maddow fan...don't even get me started!)
ReplyDeleteBette is both beautiful and gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBut my vote goes to Tasha. Tank tops could have been invented for Rose Rollins, she looks so good in them.
Bette!!! I mean look at her
ReplyDeleteBETTE PORTER
ReplyDeletejennifer all the wayyyyyyyyyy...
ReplyDeletejb wears tank like no one!!!!!!!!bette bette bette
ReplyDeleteBette for God's sake!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTasha! Tasha! Tasha. hmm...those pics make me so happy in my special place ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Jennifer is successfully competing against two women that are 15 years her junior is freakin' amazing. Jennifer has a self awareness that is so sexy. Jennifer has that unbeatable combo of understated sexiness and athletic fitness plus she's just stunning. Rose has a "soft" beauty. She is lovely. KM is just too damn skinny for my taste although I can see her charm for some.
ReplyDeleteBette, come on, are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteJennifer Beals in the first red one looks like a greek god/athlete...in other words YUMMMYYYYYYY!
XXX
Wyrm
I didn't like Tasha but I've change my mind.
ReplyDeletetotally tasha. totally.
ReplyDeleteThe Goddess Bette, I'll always love her. I mean JB.
ReplyDeleteTasha all the way!!!!
ReplyDeleteTasha, because that's who she is and is not afraid to wear 'em in public, while Bette prefers scary butterfly, pirate sleeved "shirts" in her day to day.
ReplyDeleteTash's a natural.
My vote goes to: BETTE/Jennifer Beals.
ReplyDeleteThis one is easy...Tasha, Bette and Shane should not be in this race!
ReplyDeleteBette all the way
ReplyDeleteOf course it's Bette Porter! Hands down. Period. Enough said.
ReplyDeletei agree with iampecola.
ReplyDeletetank tops are tasha's equivalent to bette's power suits.
tasha all the way! i mean, look at those abs.
thud!
bettttttteeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteeasy...bette all the way
ReplyDeletebette porter
ReplyDeletethe almightly bette porter
ReplyDeletethe almightly bette porter
ReplyDeleteTasha. No questions asked.
ReplyDeleteThere is NOTHING sexy about Kate. NOTHING.
ReplyDeleteRose and Jennifer, however, are a pretty close fight. I vote for Rose :)
