Whoa. That one is tough.

SOPHIA.

The hooker with a heart of gold baby....Shirley!!

sophia.

Shirley

Shirley.

I'm still getting over the shock of your "meggings" post.....

ahem.....

Oh, this is brutal.

Batsh*t crazy virginal vixen with dance skillz against one of the all-time movie star sex bombs.

I'm going with the sex bomb.

Sophia per la vittoria! (is that good Italian?)

Sophia, no question! :)

Shirley

SOPHIA!!!

Sophia!

Shirley, for sure.

Sophia

Dayum you, TLO!

Shirley, Shirley, SHIRLEY!

shirley!

you guys should do a male version of this, from this era. I would love to see some of the male stars from this era duke it out. And I feel like the age-old question could be answered on this blog: Brando or Newman?

I still say sudden death match.

No way in hell can there be no more Audrey!

Shirley

I have to do billable work today! You're too seductive, TLo. And I'm too weak.

Sophia. No weakness there!

All the best,

NDC

Sophia..hot bitch has an Italian street named after her.

Sophia!

Sophia, no question

Shirley- love her mucho.

Sophia!

sophia

La bella Sophia!

Oh please... Sophia!

EGAD! This is one of your toughest match-ups yet. Gotta go with Shirley for the win. Batsh*t crazy will win every time.

Well. Logic says Shirley because she (is perhaps the only one who) fits into both categories: Virgin AND Vixen.

But one look at that picture of Sophia and all logic flies out the window.

Sophia it is.

Sophia

Shirley!

Ms. Loren for the win, please.

Nessun concorso...Sophia, naturalmente!

Shirley

Sophia!

No Contest

Sophia!

SHIRLEY! :D

Shirlia!

Oh shit, it's battle of the boobies again...

Shirl has the resume, but Sophia just has "IT", and in spades.

The vixen it is: Sophia.

Sophia. There should have been an Audrey vs. Shirley play-down to see who took her on. Yes, I'm still bitter over Audrey.

Sophia

Shirley

No contest.

Sophia!

SOPHIA

DAMN IT.
this is a tough one boys. after much thought it has to be SOPHIA. one glance from those Italian eyes & it can be fatal.

That's a wonderful pic of Shirley, but I have to go with my girl.

SOPHIA!

Sophia.

Sophia.

As I'm fairly new to this most fantastic blog, can someone fill me in on the criteria for voting? On face value, I go with Sophia, but I want to make sure my judging is just!

Thanks!

Shirley- love the thumbnail you guys picked btw!

Really tough. I'm remembering how Shirley hung out with Sinatra and the boys. I don't like the word "broad," but it fits her and is a compliment.

Cannot choose. Will think about it.

Not ven close. Sophia.

Sophia. But Shirley'd be fun to have a boozy afternoon bar chat with... .

Shirley!

Since this is not a survey of acting and none of my previous past life incarnations can vote, I'm free to cast my vote for Sophia.

Sophia!

Ms. McClain, FTW please.

SOPHIA!!!!

I have a posthumous vote for AUDREY!

...Okay, I guess I have to choose...

Sophia.

Shirley MacLaine

That's tough, but then again, it's really not...

SOPHIA!

Shirley - she'd give Sophia a sweet smile, tap dance a little, then kick her in the ass. Then she'd finish Sophia off with a little tale about her sexuality in her past AND in her past lives.

Sophia, surely. She'd make mincemeat of that ding-bat.

That picture of Sophia makes me feel all kinky. Like a nursie baby.
Sophia.

Sophia, Sophia, Sophia! But you should have a special "crazy It girl" competition sometime, for all the fabulous ladies like Shirley.

-=J

Shirley. Bitch was fierce. And insane.
AT

Sophia, hands down

That shot of Shirley is just perfect. Elfin, funny, intelligent, graceful.

But, Sofia.

Shirley!!!!

Shirley, FTMFW!

Sophia for the win.

Are you kidding?

Sophia!!

Shirley, please, because (a) I'm mad that Sophia beat Audrey and (b) because I love The Apartment.

Sophia.

How can you do this to us on a Friday, when we're already mostly mentally unhinged after yet another hellish nightmare of a week???

Love them both, but have to go with
SOPHIA.

Shirley!

Shirley!

SHIRLEY!

(Sorry to turn on you so fast, Sophia.)

Shirley is cute, but...

SOPHIA!!

S O P H I A
Cara Mia!

Shirley!

Sophia.

Sophia... No, Shirley.... No, Sophia... No, Shirley!

Wait. Make that Sophia! Yep. Sophia.

Tough one here, guys.

This is cruel.

Sophia.

Shirley

How to decide????

hmmmm....

okay, Shirley--

Oh please, that bitch Shirley is crazy. Sophia ftw.

Shirley!!!!!!!

This is hard, but I am going with the one that still looks fabulous today
Sophia!

Geeze, could you guys make it any tougher??
SHIRLEY!

Sophia.

SHIRLEY.

Shirley

Sophia.

Shirley,

Terms of Endearment was great

shirley

Sophia. Brutal.

Shirley

Oh good god that's mean. But no question, Shirley FTW!

gotta stick with Sophia.

Shirley!

SOPHIA for the knockout!

Sophia!

Sophia, hands down!

Sophia

I gotta go with Shirley.

Batshit crazy does indeed beat out everything.

sisterZip

Shirley!!!

Damn you! Sophia.

Again, no contest. Sophia Sophia Sophia.

Sophia, please!

Sophia

Shirley. And Paul Newman, durr.

Sophia.

SHIRLEY!

Sophia of course!

sophia

Shirley. 'Cause she can dance and act.

I'm still traumatized by the pairing of Shirley and Bill Paxton in Evening Star...

Sophia, all the way for the win.

Oh, God in heaven! Toughie!

Still gotta say Shirley!!!

Sophia! Has to be!

Ancora, non che domanda! La Sophia e piu migliore da qui!

Gotta go with Shirley.

Shirley, hands down!

Sophia, but I still miss Audrey.

Hard choice, but Sophia.

Sophia!!

"Men are the most horrible creatures, honey. They will ruin your life. You mark my words."

How could anyone ever beat that? SHIRLEYYYY!!!!!

shirleyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Sophia. Absolutely no doubt.
Sorry, Shirley. :(

Dang that is a hard one to vote on. I love them both! I think I have to go with Sophia on this one, but it is tough decision.

Sophia!

No matter how I vote, I will end up feeling bad about it.

Based solely on my personal preference, because I have had more fun watching this lady's performances, I have to go with Shirley. But I love Sophia too, and she'll probably win anyway.

Sophia all the way, the epitome of sexy and fabulous!

Sophia. For sure.

Hilarious losing-your-head joke, guys!

BookieBookie

After much consideration...Sophia!

Sophia. Cuteness after age 5 just bugs me.

It has to be Sophia, my dears. While Shirley was quite the sex bomb back in the day, Sophia still smolders today..she's just as sexy now as she was 40+ years ago. Sophia for the win!

Gotta be Sophia!

It must be Shirley!

Shirley

Shirley, Shirley, Shirley.

She could play a virgin and a vixen and did.

SHIRLEY

SHIRLEY.

sophia

Sophia FTW. I've never forgiven Shirley for Sweet Charity. Yeegads, what a terrible performance.

Oh please, SOPHIA.

To whomever it was that asked what the rules are, correct me if I'm wrong, peeps, but I think the rules here are highly individual and private, sort of a very personal Rorschach test thing. But (again, correct me if I'm wrong), I think for most people the test question is read: "If you did women, which one of these women would you do?"

To which the answer is, obviously, SOPHIA.

Once again, Sophia all the way!

"When you're in love with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara." --Ms. Kublick in The Apartment, a.k.a. the great Shirley MacLaine. Sophia Loren is smokin, but Shirley makes you laugh, cry, want to dance. Shirley Shirley, a thousand times Shirley!

Oh, that is just cruel to make us choose.

Shirley.

Shirley.

Sophia, no contest.

sophia

Sophia.

Tough one, but you know I love Shirley more than my luggage.

Shirley

SOPHIA, absolutely!

Totally Sophia!

I also second having a men's version of this!

Interesting how close this appears to be, when IMO it's Sophia, no contest.

Sophia!

Ms Shirley!

No contest! Sophia!!

SOPHIA

Shirley! Just because I love "What a Way to Go" so very much.

Sophia for me!

sophia.

Has to be Sophia!

Sophia-no question!

Sophia

Shirley!!

Shirley!

Sophia!!!!!!

Sophia. By a breast.
Make it two.

SHIRLEY. While Sophia is supah fierce, Shirley takes the cake.

Sophia. Hands down.

How on earth did this match up happen? Sophia it is.

Sophia
Hope there will be another contest

Shirley. Sorry, Sophia, it *twirled* out.

Sophia.

Sophia, no doubt.

Oh, my heart belongs to Shirley

Shirley

Easy peasy! Sophia!1

This is hard, Sophia is tough to beat. She has that Continental thing going. To be fair she should go up against Brigitte Bardot in her prime (not current). But then they would be two vixens No? Although Bardot can look virginal in her face and vixen everywhere else.

So Sophia vs Shirley? Going by your pics, Sophia.

Shirley

Sophia...absolutely!!

Sophia. please.

I'm going with Sophia - I love Shirley and all, but I'm still giggling about that picture of Sophia giving that look to Jayne Mansfield. That shit is God-given. La Loren FTW!

shirley

Sophia

shriley

Oh, Sophia for sure.

Sophia

Sophia.

I'm staying with Sophia.

Shirley.
Frankly, she scares me.

SHIRLEY!

Definitely Sophia.

sophia all the way

Good grief, not even a fair fight.

Sophia with the TKO

SOPHIA LOREN without a doubt.

Sophia

Sophie Loren should really be up against Giulietta Masina, the original "Sweet Charity" (Masina played Cabiria in Fellini's Nights of Cabiria). Then we'd have a real Italian catfight. And I'd root for Masina (and Shirley) every time.

Sophia.
