Salma Hayek

Straight male ECHs like Salma because she’s hot. Straight female ECHs like Salma because she’s hot. Gay ECHs like Salma because she’s hot. Lesbian ECHs like Salma because she’s hot.

See a pattern here?

When La Salma came onto the scene 10 years ago, ECHs went crazy. Here was a Mexicana who could finally knock down the best of Hollywood’s celebs with her looks and charm. Then came JLo. Then went JLo. And ECHs stayed with Salma. Besides her physical appeal, Salma has been very political. She testified before a U.S. Senate committee supporting the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. She has also donated thousands to women’s shelters and anti-domestic violence agencies in Mexico. She also was key to the making of the movie, Frida, (see #2), while JLo was messing around with P. Diddy and trying to sing. In other words, for ECH, the real thing has come along.

Whenever Salma comes out in a new movie, watch ECHs line up next to cholos and rucas from the barrio. United, we will never be defeated.

    Yeah I have even more respect for her since she has her own film company, promotes independants, dates the person not the race and she’s not afraid of showing in the snake and bikini in the Tarantino film. Love the site, keep up the good work! –clau
