Beautiful Women: The First Five Years!

It's official: I have posted pictures of five hundred different women in the past five years, averaging a hundred women a year.  And in celebration of this major milestone on this blog, I am listing all of them here!

Listing every woman I've ever featured here seems like a time-consuming, masochistic job, and it was, but it seemed like a good time to look back at who I've featured so far.  It's a pretty mixed group.  Yes, there are a lot of actresses and several models, but a doctor, three politicians, and several newswomen made it onto this list too.  Some of these women are very famous; others have lesser name recognition. A couple of them, sadly, are no longer with us. Many are American, but many others come from different corners of the world.  (Note: Where the nationality of a woman is in doubt,  I do not include the nationality on this list.)  It's an impressive list all in all, I believe, and I'm eager to add to it in the next five years.

Consider this list as a convenient guide to whom I've featured so far.  I pretty much made this roster so you, dear followers, didn't have to.  To see an entry for any woman - any entry that's already been archived, especially - just feel free to type it in the search field in the upper left hand corner of this blog. :-)

So here it is - the list!
