Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but hot is not.

We're kidding, of course: everyone has a different definition of what makes a person sexy.  Whether it's classic good looks, a pretty face, a rockin' body or just a hot personality, Milwaukee is no slouch when it comes to sex appeal (is that a brat in your pocket?).

But to drill a list down to just 100 took more work than you might think. Sure, we could list your neighbor or the check-out girl at Sendik's or the FedEx guy -- but to build a list of 100 Milwaukeeans you've heard of, well, that took an agonizing amount of research.  Mind you, we're not complaining.

Yes, we know that the "that you've heard of" part makes this list a little controversial, and we fully expect you to dissect, criticize and add to this list of 100 hotties using the Talkback feature below. Many of our friends and colleagues are already giving us the silent treatment for not including them on the list, so let us know where we missed the boat.

And before you get too hot and bothered, remember that this list is alphabetized.  So no, No. 1 isn't necessarily hotter than No. 99 (but No. 1 is definitely hotter than No. 100).

Turn down the lights, put on some sexy music and read on, Milwaukee.
