Scientists have discovered a gene enhancer, known as HACNS1, that may have contributed to the evolution of the uniquely opposable human thumb, and possibly also modifications in the ankle or foot that allow humans to walk on two legs, according to a paper published in Science on Sept. 5, 2008.
This study is the first to provide evidence of the existence of human-specific gene enhancers, which are switches near genes in the human genome.
Dr. Shyam Prabhakar, first author of the paper and Senior Research Scientist at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), said, "Opposable thumbs, manual dexterity and ankle or foot adaptations for walking on two legs are hallmarks of our species. We think we may have discovered one of the pieces of the genome that encodes some of these definitive human traits.
"This is just the first step we need to characterize HACNS1 in more detail, and also test the hundreds of other HACNSs we have identified in the genome to figure out what role, if any, they play in making us human," he added.
The opposability of the human thumb is its unique ability to swing toward the palm and oppose the other four fingers to provide a tighter and more precise grip on objects.
The surprising complexity and abundance of enhancers, which turn on genes in the appropriate cells, have only recently been appreciated. Evolutionary changes in the DNA sequence of enhancers are thought to have triggered changes in human development that make us different from chimpanzees and other apes. Thus, the many observable differences between humans and chimpanzees, such as brain size, hair density, tooth patterns, pelvic structure and hand and foot modifications, could have arisen partly through changes in the way developmental genes are turned on.
The discovery provides significant insights into the genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees the species that is approximately 99 percent similar to hu

Mark Giordano named 19th captain in Calgary Flames history
More NHL offseason: Rumors | Top 50 Free Agents | Buyout Tracker | Trades | Transactions
For the first time in a decade, the Calgary Flames have needed a new captain and on Friday they got it. Mark Giordano will wear the C on his chest this season for the Flames.
The role of captain had long been held by face of the franchise Jarome Iginla. He donned it first in 2003 and held it until his trade last season to Pittsburgh. That left the Flames without a captain for the remainder of the season but they'll have one back out there when this campaign starts.
Giordano now becomes the 19th captain in franchise history. The defenseman has spent all 385 games of his NHL career in Calgary. Last season he played in 47 games and posted four goals with 11 assists in 23:10 of ice time per game.
"Mark represents all the qualities that we set as a coaching staff and an organization," coach Bob Hartley said. "He is a quality man who is proud to represent the Calgary Flames both on and off the ice. We are very happy with these three men leading and setting the example for our team, and especially our young players, as we move through this crucial yet exciting period in the history of the Flames franchise."
In addition to being a key player on the ice, Giordano has been active in the community and has been honored in the past for his approach on and off the ice.
The alternate captains -- who get to wear the old Atlanta Flames logo in one of my favorite uniform traditions in the NHL -- will be Curtis Glencross and Mike Cammalleri.

After a break from consumer marketing, the wine brand today launched a travel-oriented campaign, the first of a series of seasonal efforts aimed at busy moms.
Point-of-purchase sweepstakes campaigns are nothing new, but Lindemans is moving the concept into the 21st century. After a break from consumer marketing, the wine brand today launched a travel-oriented campaign, the first of a series of seasonal efforts aimed at busy moms. The effort hinges on 2D barcodes featured in retail materials, but unlike other barcode technologies requiring a software download, this system works without a download using a simple phone camera.
Starting today, shoppers perusing the wine aisles at stores including Safeway, Publix, Wal-mart, and smaller chains like Food Lion will see tags on bottle necks promoting Lindemans' "Summer of Discovery Weekend Getaways Sweepstakes." To enter, shoppers can take a photo of the 2D barcode featured on the tags and other point-of-purchase collateral, and e-mail or text the image to the address or shortcode provided.
They'll receive a message from which they can link to the LindemansGreatFinds.com sweepstakes site, which allows those over the age of 21 to submit contact information and learn more about weekend getaways they could win as a result. The campaign pairs contest-related destinations and other recommended jaunts with Lindemans wines. Mackinac Island, Michigan, for instance, is paired with Bin 99 Pinot Noir, while Ashville, North Carolina goes well with the Bin 90 Moscato.
In addition to the in-store promos, the contest will be pushed via display ads on Travelocity, a campaign partner. As the travel site searches for trip options, users are greeted with a Lindemans' ad. They're also prompted to use promo code "Lindemans" to receive a $50 discount on trips booked through Travelocity. The ads will run nationwide throughout the summer, according to Angela Gee, account director at BFG Communications, the agency that developed the campaign for Lindemans' parent company, Foster's Wine Group. Lindemans is also promoting the sweepstakes through its Facebook and Twitter accounts.
The 2D barcode component, however, seems key. For one thing, retail sweepstakes promotions are often difficult to manage logistically when they require employee store assistance. Yet, when searching for an alternative, Gee was hesitant to use a QR or Quick Response code, which would require a software download in order to view the barcode. Instead, the agency chose to work with JagTag, a firm providing 2D barcodes that can work with any camera phone, not just smartphones.
"That was huge," said Gee. "We really didn't want the consumer to have to download anything."
The fact that the technology operates on any camera-enabled phone increases the potential response rate. Indeed, according to Dudley Fitzpatrick, founder and chief innovation officer at JagTag, around 75 percent of JagTag campaign respondents use feature phones rather than smartphones.
"It's a new technology," said Fitzpatrick, but taking a photo with a phone is "not a new behavior," he continued. He said companies including Axe Deodorant, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, and Sports Illustrated have also used the firm's 2D barcodes.
The summer sweepstakes ends August 31, when winners will be chosen. Next up, according to Gee, is a holiday campaign involving gift suggestions, followed by a spring effort.

Citroen: 2014 C4 Picasso review
Named after a man who took pushed the boundaries of design, the C4 Picasso follows suit with some bold exterior styling and some features drawn in the wrong place on the inside. Let's deal with the exterior first: the LED-adorned face is as instantly recognisable and striking as any I've seen. There's no doubting you're in a Citroen. The double-stack of headlights doesn't quite work for me from some angles – there's a mismatch in the lines – but it is bold enough to match the deeply contoured body sides, chrome window inserts and angular 17-inch alloys, and the overall effect is one that grows on you.

Citroën at work on 2CV replacement – the 3CV
Fiat pulled it off with its new 500/Bambina, and VW did the same with the Beetle so Citroën is looking seriously at jumping on the retro-sytle bandwagon and bringing back its 2CV.
According to recent reports the French carmaker is making plans to design and develop a modern version of the iconic 2CV. It isn't expected until 2013 at the earliest and at this stage it is a top secret project. What is known is that the 3CV will inherit the spirit of its ancestor and offer plenty of space and a comfortable ride.
If the 3CV goes ahead it will likely be built on the same PF1 platform that supports the Peugeot 207 and Citroëns DS3 and C3. But it will be smaller than the C3.
More will be revealed next year.
Pay Attention, It's Time For A French Lesson
The more – and almost certainly even the less – observant amongst you will have noticed that over the last few weeks there have been more than a few tenuous links made between rugby and motoring in this column. And as the biggest match in New Zealand rugby since 1987 is being played out in Auckland's own theatre of dreams this weekend, it would be all too easy to find one more pretty loose tie-in between the unlikely bedfellows that are egg chasing and motoring.
And so, therefore, I will.
But rather than dwelling too heavily on the sport itself, my focus is rather more on one of the participants in Sunday night's encounter – the French. As a previous inhabitant of the Northern shores of La Manche, I learned a long time ago that the only thing that could be expected from the French with any degree of certainty is the unexpected.
Nowhere is this more certain than in the motoring world, where no-one could ever be sure if their next release was going to be a work of beauty, genius, madness or just plain badness. Sometimes, as was the case with the massively opinion polarising 2CV, they managed to do all four at once. Just for the sheer hell of it I suspect.
This is the nation that can give the Citroen DS with one hand – a vehicle of such unquestionable beauty that it makes you wonder why all cars cannot be styled in such a way – and then take it all back again with a monstrosity like the Renault Fuego with the other. But just to keep a sense of mystery, excitement and intrigue in the relationship, every so often they throw you a Peugeot 205 GTi. Followed rather quickly by a Renault Safrane.
Yet for all their little highs and lows, if you ever needed the ultimate proof that our garlic obsessed cousins are capable of crushing the world when it is least expected, look no further than the Bugatti Veyron. Yes, it sounds Italian and yes, a lot of the bits come from parent company VW, but hailing as it does from Molsheim in the Alsace, the Bugatti is every bit as French as impassive shrugging and baguettes. With its roots back in 2005, when the Gallic automotive output was typified by the blandest Peugeots in living memory, the Veyron was a stark reminder that when the Frenchies put their minds to it, they can not only take on the world, but simply blow it away with their effortless style.

Citroën to expand DS range with new models
Citroën has been a busy carmaker in recent years, particularly with its new DS range of vehicles. The DS nameplate was dormant for many year but now it covers a lineup of three models the DS3, DS4 and DS5. Citroën isn't planing on slowing down with its DS development and has some new plans in the pipeline.
Perhaps the most exciting area of development involves Citroën's DS3 Racing. The easy-to-spot hot hatch, with its turbocharged four-cylinder engine and striking colour scheme, was initially planned as a limited edition of 1,000 vehicles. But it proved a hot-selling hot hatch and demand across Europe meant production was increased to 2,400. Now, reports are suggesting that a new version of the popular hatch could already be in development.
Citroën is also experiencing a strong period of demand in China and is looking at expanding its range with a larger version of the DS5. There are also rumours that a production version of the Metropolis concept (pictured) could be built. Continue reading "Citroën to expand DS range with new models" »
Citroën reveals Tribek concept – shagging wagon of the future
Keen bumper sticker readers would have surely seen the classic "If the wagons rocking don't come a knocking" label affixed to the occasional van. Now Citroen has brought the shagging wagon into the 21st century with its latest show car concept. The French carmaker has just revealed official images of its new concept van named the Tubik which is set for an official debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.
The French have done more for romance than just invent pashing a.k.a French kissing, they also came up with two of the first shagging wagons – the 1939 Tub van and its replacement, the 1948 Type H that was produced up until the beginning of the 1980s. The Tubik concept pays homage to these historic machines and adds a range of modern conveniences.
The Tubik isn't just about the horizontal action and can serve as both a commercial van and a people carrier with very usable dimensions; 4.8 metres long, 2.08m wide and 2.05m tall. The space age carrier can seat up to nine passengers in three lounge-style seats, with the driver operating in a separated compartment. As for windows – who really needs them?

Citroen shows off new DS5 hatch in Shanghai
Citroen has given the motoring world its first look at the much anticipated DS5 with its official launch at the Shanghai Auto Show.
The changes from the standard C5 on which the DS5 is based, are substantial. The new model comes with a crossover styled body, dual exhausts and modern LED lights.
The DS5 is a five-door hatchback, with a coupe-like sloping roofline and raised driving position. It's measurements are 4.52 m long and 1.85 m wide – still fairly compact dimensions but firmly within the mid-sized segment the DS5 will compete in.
But the crossover/coupe body style will separate the DS5 from many competitors in the mid-size segment making its design a key factor in potential success.
In terms of power the DS5 that will debut at the Auto Shanghai comes with the PSA Group's HYbrid4 technology which featuring a 120 kW 2.0 litre diesel engine matched to a 27 kW electric motor turning the rear wheels. Continue reading "Citroen shows off new DS5 hatch in Shanghai" »

Pre-Foos Dave Grohl
So what did Dave Grohl do before he was in the Foo Fighters? Well, he was in Nirvana, right? What about before that. He was in a DC-based band called Scream. Well, what about before that? Let's see: in his life, Dave has worked in a garden nursery; he was a stone mason; he was a clerk at a Tower Records store in Washington; and when he was sixteen he had an awful job at a Shakey's Pizza Parlour restaurant. And before that, he spent two years in a Catholic School. And for the record,...

Remember Me
-Mike Campbell
Photo of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by: Dennis Callahan
In 2007, Tom Petty, Campbell and Tench decided to revisit their pre-Heartbreakers group, Mudcrutch. The group is rounded out by Randall Marsh (drums) and Tom Leadon (guitar, vocals). After a 30-plus-year delay, Mudcrutch put out their self-titled debut in April 2008 followed by a short, deliriously enjoyable California tour (see JamBase's review of their Santa Cruz gig here). Despite their many years in the business, the relaunch of this formational band carried a lively, back-to-the-garage spark that's nearly irresistible. Mudcrutch is the sound of men tapping into the things that made them pick up instruments and devote their lives to rock 'n' roll in the first place.
"When you first start playing you set up in a room with amps and guitars and say, 'Do you know 'Johnny B. Goode' or 'Honky Tonk Women'? Let's see if we can play that.' There's that joy of discovering, 'Wow, we sound like a band. We can do this. Let's write our own songs.' And Mudcrutch was our first band, so it was really fun to rediscover that germ," says Campbell, who is center stage in a rare extended psych exploration on Mudcrutch's "Crystal River," one of the standouts on the album. "I like that one a lot, and it was a one take, spontaneous recording. [The Heartbreakers] don't do that too much so I'm glad we got that one on tape to show what we can do. It's always a lucky thing when that happens."
"I love doing that [Mudcrutch] stuff. I love that band. I really, really love the sound that band makes. I was a fan of theirs before I joined, so I hope we do more," says Tench. "As far as I hear, we're going to do more."
There's a new Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album in the works, hopefully seeing the light of day next year, and the Mudcrutch experience has spilled over a bit into the new sessions.
"The Mudcrutch album was basically cut live-in-the-studio and this has the same approach. Honestly – and I know everybody says this – we're so excited about this record. It's a different record than anything we've done, a different flavor and a step up," says Campbell. "It's all live, which is really great. And Tom is so good. He's always got great characters and believable, pure music. He's a badass."
"Sometimes it was. Playing with Bob was really special. Sometimes it was really bad and sometimes it was transcendent. For me it was transcendent way more than it was bad, but sometimes it wasn't good," recalls Tench. "Sometimes it probably was a battle because he wanted us to be on his foot, and judging by his autobiography, he wasn't in that good a space then. We were trying hard though! There were moments with him that were... death defying. And there were moments where I don't know if we necessarily dodged death [laughs]. There was a 'Lay Lady Lay' there once or twice that was pretty funny. But there's nobody as good as Bob."
"[His songs] are not musically challenging the way you'd think. It's beautifully played, or if you hear just Bob play something on piano or guitar it's just beautiful," says Tench. "Anytime I've worked with Bob in a recording studio and he's started to show me something on piano, it doesn't matter how hard I try it always winds up with me saying, 'You're going to play piano on this one, Bob.' He's got a special way he plays piano, and he's got a spectacular feel on the guitar. It's one of those things where a line goes back to old folk players and blues players before that, and he actually carries the line down the way with a certain feel and rhythm. So the thing about playing Bob's songs is a lot of it is about the feel and for God's sake don't start playing a bunch of notes! If you're going to play a bunch of notes you better be Norman Blake, Mike Bloomfield, or Mike Campbell. You better play the right notes, and you can't be Mr. Lead Guitar unless it's the right thing. Charlie Sexton always does that. And every time I've seen Bob in the last 15 years his bands have been right."
Fame And The Future
In 2002, Petty and the band were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Still, even with the big titles not much has really changed internally for the men making this grandly embracing rock.
"We just do what we do. [Tom and I] have always played together for as far I can remember, and we've always been able to reach the same groove and compliment what each other is doing, Benmont, too. It's an instinctual thing that we do," says Campbell. "When I do sessions with other players I notice that instinctual compliment of music is missing. Maybe it's because we grew up together, but even now as we're working on this new record, he hits a chord and I do something that goes with it. We're definitely blessed."
"The thing I want us to be able to do is invite people along instead of getting up there and being showbiz-y about it," says Tench. "I saw Ray Davies [The Kinks] perform the other night and he was so charming and inviting and engaging that you were with him from the first second. And if there was a sing-along it didn't feel like, 'Oh God, they're having a sing-along.' You wanted to sing-along, and to me that's the best kind of show, where you just know you're ALL going to have a really good time tonight."
"I am a fan of the band, and if I think we don't play well or do something hokey or I feel like we don't hit a groove then I get mad, like I would if I was seeing my favorite band and they blew it," says Tench. "It's really important to me that we do it and we do it well. And I think we do most of the time."
"Ultimately, the focus should be on entertaining the audience as opposed to entertaining yourself. Truthfully, if they're entertained that entertains you more than anything you could play to satisfy yourself," says Campbell. "We take it very seriously that they've come there to sit and listen, and we want to give them what they deserve."

This game is all about balance. The board itself is hinged and moves as players move their metal balls across the boards' surface.
Which ever way the board is tilting towards decides whose turn it is.
It is possible that a player might get two turns in a row if the board still tilts towards them after they move a ball.
The first player to get all 8 of their balls to the other side of the tilt-table wins.

"You're a... you're a complex Freudian hallucination having something to do with my mother and I don't know why you have wings, but you have very lovely legs and you're a very nice tiny person and what am I saying..."A particular form of Our Fairies Are Different, namely a pixie that's young, female and attractive. Doesn't generally wear too many clothes, sometimes just leaves or flower petals. The trope has at least some historical basis going back to Greek Mythology, where just about every Nymph was Ms. Fanservice. However, the Trope Codifier is Disney's iconic Tinker Bell.
open/close all folders
Multiple Media
- Disney's cashing in on the sexy Tinker Bell thing with the Disney Fairies spinoff.
Anime & Manga
- Cham Hau and her Mi Ferario sisters in Aura Battler Dunbine.
- Berserk: Puck and Evarella, the Fairy Companions of Guts and Schierke respectively, are very much this. Interestingly, the male elf, Puck, is practically naked (though he lacks genitals), whereas Evarella has something of a skirt to hide her womanly parts.
- Subverted by Rosine, who first appears as this. However, she isn't actually an elf but an Apostle, and once she goes One-Winged Angel, what started as Fanservice turns into Fan Disservice.
- Elea, Projected Girl in Blassreiter, though her style is more "imp" than "fairy".
- Lilymon in Digimon Adventure, as well as Kazemon/Fairymon and Ranamon (who's based on a water nymph) in Digimon Frontier There's also Lilamon from Digimon Savers.
- In Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, Miyuki lands on two lingerie-clad flower fairies named "Lily" and "Violet." It's implied that she interrupted a romantic romp...and (of course) they want her to join them.
- Luis Royo's painting "Wings of Dreams" (contained in the art book Malefic) shows a nude fairy (riding a rat and menaced by a snake) with the caption "The story of snowy days, or fairies and moons. A place where long ears don't reduce the size of breasts, where butterfly wings don't force legs closed, where moonlight doesn't weaken a sensuous look and where danger doesn't wake up fear but challenge."
- A lot of Jasmine Becket-Griffith's work invokes this.
Fan Works
- Tatl Beryllia in The Blue Blur of Termina.
- While Navi looked like just a little ball of bluish light with wings in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, many artists have pictured her as having light-blue skin, hair, and eyes, and is often safely nude.
Films — Animation
- Fantasia has lengthy segments of tiny, (non-detailed) nude fairies who bring dew, Autumn, and frost during the Nutcracker suite.
- Crysta from FernGully.
- Peter Pan: Tinker Bell. Since it was a different day, her first appearance lacked a Magic Skirt.
- The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio is a slender fair-skinned blonde that wears an elegant glittery blue dress. When she offers the position of conscience to Jiminy Cricket he is somewhat dumbstruck by her beauty. Additionally she was modeled after Jean Harlow, noted blonde bombshell of the era.
- The Tooth Fairy from Rise of the Guardians. Not in the traditional sense, but fans agree that her design is very beautiful.
- An obscure animated movie called The Magic Voyage had a Moon Fairy named Marilyn who fits this trope.
- Every fairy, male or female, in Strange Magic is fairly attractive except for their king, who is a case of Adipose Rex. The two Fairy Princesses in it play it straight - Dawn is a blonde, blue-eyed Princess Classic, while older sister Marianne is a brunette Action Girl. The Bog King certainly thinks this is the case with Marianne.
- The movie Tom and Jerry's Giant Adventure feature Red as a sexy fairy.
- Elinore from Wizards, who is ditzy and the size of a full-grown human.
Films — Live-Action
- The Ghost of Christmas Past in the 2004 film musical of A Christmas Carol has this appearance.
- The Green Fairy Absinthe from Moulin Rouge!. Indeed, most depictions of the Green Fairy fall under this — but Moulin Rouge! has Kylie Minogue. Who is briefly voiced by Ozzy Osbourne.
- Narnia: In the 2005 film version, dryads can only become visible as blowing leaves, flower petals, etc., but they often take the shape of sexy humanoids wearing nothing but the petals.
- Peter Pan: Tinker Bell.
- 2003 Peter Pan, as played by Ludivine Sagnier.
- The 1991 film Hook too, played by Julia Roberts.
- They're only briefly seen in Labyrinth but the fairy Sarah looks at is an attractive female wearing not very much. Too bad fairies are vermin that bite.
- Laughing Sisters, barmaids and Fanservice in Bloody Fist tavern, Waterdeep. They also help deal with "problem customers". And always giggle.
- Holly Black's Modern Faerie Tales series portrays many types of faeries as much more beautiful than mortals — if a little bit inhuman-looking along with it.
- Holly from Artemis Fowl.
- A male example: Tybalt, the Cait Sidhe king from Seanan McGuire's October Daye series, definitely falls into this category and almost always appears in tight leather pants.
- Applecore in The War of the Flowers. Theo is somewhat disturbed when people ask if they're together, and to learn that the size difference can apparently be resolved through (magical) surgery.
- The Dresden Files describes most Fae as being of unearthly beauty. Even the ones you could step on. Harry's buddy Toot-Toot is just as beautiful as the Lords of Faerie, just scaled down to about six inches. The small fae are never described in any sexual terms, but the human-sized ones like Maeve, Lea, Aurora and Mab are an entirely different story.
Live Action TV
- Supernatural: Dean is attacked by a fairy (one too small for the audience to see) and gets distracted for a couple of seconds when he realizes it's a "tiny naked lady".
- Once Upon a Time have been played by attractive young women.
- The Blue Fairy's outfit contains Absolute Cleavage. Although, while in Storybrooke, the fairies' human personas are nuns, so they dress more conservatively, even after regaining their memories and power.
- Tinker Bell wears a short green dress similar to the one in Disney's animated version of Peter Pan.
- The spin-off introduces us to the fairy Silvermist, who it turns out had a fling with Will Scarlett.
- The butterfly fairy from Farfalla, who's wearing nothing but a gossamer robe and a smile.
Tabletop Games
- Dungeons & Dragons, as explained here.
- In AD&D 2nd Ed. Sylph was summonable "elemental-kin". Always Female, as they reproduce by laying eggs, and what hatches from these are always one more female sylph.
- A common trait of the Fairest from Changeling: The Lost. All changelings are shaped by the purposes for which they were used while they were in Arcadia, and the Fairest are those changelings who were made to satisfy the aesthetic or sexual whims of their Fae masters. As a result, even those Fairest who started out unattractive will come out the other side looking quite pretty... although whether you consider that a good thing depends on your perspective.
- Many other changelings are similarly warped by their Durance, coming out of Arcadia looking significantly different from how they did when they entered. Sometimes, it results in this trope, but other times, not so much.
- The raksha of Exalted can reshape their physical forms at will, which means they'll usually give themselves the sexiest body they can manage (assuming they're not trying to scare you, at least). This satisfies their famously enormous egos, while also making a great lure for drawing mortals close to feed on.
- The eponymous character from La Sylphide (or The Sylph). She's a beautiful fairy that attracts the protagonist enough to chase after her on his wedding day.
Video Games
- Pixies in Shin Megami Tensei games tend to be depicted like this (an example◊, from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne). This is to help emphasize how they're among the few supernatural creatures not likely to rip your throat out the instant they see you.
- The Great Fairies from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time wear ridiculously little clothing — they're more wrapped up in vines than anything else. Though to some players, they come off as more creepy than sexy...
- In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the "attractive young Great Fairies" return (after being replaced in Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap by more abstract-looking fairies), but instead of vine-clothing, they have Godiva Hair, a much higher polygon count, and no creepy voice.
- The fairies in the earlier, 2D games weren't particularly detailed, but could qualify (especially if the art's anything to go by).
- Ys: The Ark of Napishtim has Crevia◊.
- Most of the female summons in Final Fantasy games, particularly the more animalistic Shiva and Siren from Final Fantasy VIII.
- Dragon Quest IX's Stella/Sandy, who's also a Valley Girl.
- Guardian's Crusade: Nehani.
- Both the fairies seen in Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, to varying degrees.
- Pixie monsters from Monster Rancher.
- Dytto, the elemental spirit of water in Beyond Oasis/The Story of Thor for Genesis.
- Cotton's fairy companion.
- The fairy that gives you extra lives in Rod Land.
- Betilla the Nymph and her sisters in Rayman Origins, who have large breasts and ridiculously wide hips that swivel every time you save one of them.
- Memim and Sue in Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius.
- The pixies in Shining the Holy Ark generally show a lot of skin. The Pixie is in what seems like a skin-tight swimsuit. The Succubus likes to show off her ass. While the Incubus provides some eye-candy for the ladies. Also the Queen of the pixies shows a lot of cleavage.
- Tiki◊ and the rest of her kin in Dragon's Crown fall into this by virtue of every single one of them being Expies of Tinkerbell and her fairy friends. Tiki especially; the only outward differences between her and Tinkerbell is that Tiki has Girlish Pigtails and is drawn by George Kamitani, which means her physical features are more pronounced.
- Nvidia's Dawn and Dusk tech demos. Sure you're just running them to see what your graphics card is capable of...
- The Fairy's in Dungeon Keeper 2, who are way sexier than the in the first game.
- Stormlord's fairies are naked blondes with wings.
- Pokémon: Gardevoir and Florges.
Web Comics
- The NSFW Bloomin' Faeries! relies on the increasingly kinky hijinks of a mischievous fairy who wears (at most) a long loincloth, and a halter that barely contains her head-sized breasts. When other fairies appear, they wear variants of the same costume.
- Homestuck: Vriska convinces boy skylark Tavros to make a stand for daring and derring do, don his plucky "Pupa Pan" costume and fly to fight the horror awaiting which turns out to be her waiting in a skimpy fairy costume. At this point he falls into her web and her black widow motif goes Up to Eleven.
- Celia from The Order of the Stick is a human-sized fairy called a "Sylph". She's elemental-kin rather than fairy, even though in OotS sylphs aren't Always Female. Also, there are her cousins: Earth counterpart (though she doesn't looks like Pech) who was just quietly offed, and Fire who was killed off-screen. Celia was "lucky" enough to be "only" petrified.
- The Best Fairy Ever, in Axe Cop. She's dating Sockarang, who has to spend a lot of time brewing growth potions for her.
- In El Goonish Shive, the attractiveness of Nanase's fairy doll avatar is used to increase sales at the comicbook shop and on a meta level as fanservice.
- Tinkerbell yet again in Cheshire Crossing, or at least Peter seems to think so thanks to suddenly having puberty thrust upon him. She reciprocates enthusiastically. As for the problem of scale? This is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover which includes Alice In Wonderland, so there are workarounds.
- In The Wolf At Weston Court Elgin finds the Faeries "intriguing" for this reason. On their part, the Faeries don't make an effort to be sexy, but the open-backed clothes must draw attention.
Web Original
- The Legend of Neil features a fairy played by Felicia Day in a leaf bikini.
- The various faeries in Neopets. Not too fanservicey, as it is a site used by kids, but their depictions are still quite good-looking.
- In Tales Of MU it's considered taboo for nymphs to wear any clothing, due to their infamous beauty being considered a gift from nature. Thus, Amaranth runs around stark naked all the time, except for her Nerd Glasses. Except when she's in private, wherein she wears clothing for the texture.
Western Animation
- The Tooth Fairy from The Fairly Oddparents is recognized as the most beautiful fairy. It help have a humanoid body..
- Titania, the Bean Sidhe, and the Lady of the Lake from Gargoyles. In the case of Titania, Greg Weisman is on record stating that 'she's got it, so she flaunts it'.
- Spryte in The Legend of Zelda.
- The Spring Spirit in the Samurai Jack episode The Four Seasons of Death. A beautiful slender wood nymph with pale white skin, long flowing hair, almost completely transparent wisps of cloth covering her lady bits, and a soft gentle voice provided by Grey Delisle.
- The girls of Winx Club both in and out of their fairy forms.
- Sabrina: The Animated Series:
- A variation where the faeries are two attractive teenagers named Dawson and Felicity (wonder what that's referencing). Although they're disguised as humans, all they need to do is hide their wings and feelers.
- Cassandra invokes this when she gets the part of Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream. She gets excited about dressing up in a sexy costume since Harvey will be acting alongside her.
- While more innocent fairy costumes are popular among young girls for fancy dress parties and Halloween, Hotter and Sexier versions of fairy costumes are popular with older teenagers and adult women for Halloween.
- nVidia's Dawn demos.

In Newark, Zuckerberg School Money Sparks First Fallout
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, Barbara Martinez, The Wall Street Journal reporter covering public education, talked about the controversy in Newark over how contributions for schools—including a $100 million donation from Facebook and $44 million from other donors—are being distributed.
Donations and divisions
Given Mark Zuckerberg's public statements in support of charter schools and merit-based pay for teachers, the way Newark spends his money on education will be heavily scrutinized until it's gone.
The first million dollars of Facebook's largess was just allocated to five new alternative high schools in the city, a move that's already upset some members of the school board. There's a sentiment in Newark that problems with existing institutions need to be addressed before adding more players to the field. But Barbara Martinez said this internal division is more likely rooted in communication problems than ideology—a former superintendent made plans for these schools even before Zuckerberg stepped in. Still, it highlights just how muddled the process of making education policy and spending decisions has become, especially since the recent windfall.
I don't think the advisory board members that would have normally been pro giving this money to these schools understood what it was all about, so they made their vote based on being in the dark. And that's been a criticism: people feel this is not a transparent process, that they don't have enough information, so they're just going to throw up their hands and say, 'No, because we don't understand it.'
Who's the boss?
Another complicating factor is the absence of a school superintendent. Newark's last was "shown the door" by Governor Chris Christie some months ago. Martinez said that leaves a gaping hole and a big question mark for the city.
Is it possible that no one wants to step into Newark? There's this issue of who is your boss: is it the Mayor? The advisory board? Christie, who has great ideas about education reform, but has also been called a bully? What's unclear here is, is it that they can't find anybody to take the job, or is it that they can't find anybody good?
Perplexing, but there's a chance the powers that be are only holding off on adding a new superintendent until after school board elections in late April, Martinez said.
Booker's burden
With every funding decision from here on out, it seems the people of Newark will be suspicious that money is being used to undermine the existing education infrastructure, rather than repair what's in place.
Martinez said that kind of dissension and parochialism was par for the course in Newark, and would make Mayor Corey Booker's job—getting the public united behind an education reform plan—all the more difficult.
Some of the donors might have a sense of grandeur that you just put in a bunch of money and get the reforms you want. The real job here is for Booker to be a Geronimo and convince people that he's not just going to apply what Zuckerberg wants him to do; that he's out there, he's listening to parents, that he wants to get their feedback and doesn't want to plow through reforms already thought out in his head or Christie's head. They are trying very hard to have people feel like he's bringing them along with them.

Subprime Scandal: Now that the president's mismanagement of FHA has led to its insolvency, how will he avoid the embarrassment of a bailout? By squeezing banks, how else?
Under Obama, the Federal Housing Administration has increasingly backed new home loans to so-called rebound borrowers who recently defaulted on past mortgages. The agency is allowing lower-income borrowers to get loans just three years after foreclosure with as little as 3% down and lousy credit scores. In fact, a whopping 40% of newer FHA-backed loans are subprime.
The risky lending has led to higher delinquencies. In fact, at 17%, delinquencies on FHA loans are now so high the administration has extended the grace period for repayments on troubled loans to a full year.
Stories of FHA sweetheart loans to repeat defaulters are legion. Take Hermes Maldonado. The Honduras immigrant recently qualified for an FHA loan for a home in the Los Angeles area — despite two prior foreclosures and two bankruptcies.
"After everything that happened, thank God I was able to buy another house," Maldonado last week told the Los Angeles Times in Spanish.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, who as a Clinton HUD official helped ease agency underwriting standards before the subprime crisis, calls such easy lending the "democratization of credit."
But he and Obama are merely financing failure, which does nobody any favors, least of all taxpayers. By bankrolling borrowers who contributed to the last housing bubble and bust, they're bankrupting the FHA.
Losses are deepening, and every year under Obama, the agency has missed its statutory capital requirement. FHA's capital shortfall now totals $56 billion.
"Its available cash is dwindling fast and may be exhausted within the next 12 to 18 months," said American Enterprise Institute fellow Ed Pinto.
To keep FHA afloat and avoid a Treasury bailout — on top of the $137 billion taxpayers have already spent to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — the administration plans to raise $13 billion in cash. How? By hiking mortgage-insurance premiums and selling off delinquent loans.
But that only generates some $11 billion. Where will it get the rest? From private lenders, of course — the same source the government has targeted to pay for its housing policy mistakes throughout the crisis. "Isn't it great when you never have to take responsibility for being irresponsible?" Pinto quipped in an interview with IBD. "Seems that's a common government theme."
The administration has already pressured five major banks — Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., Ally Financial, and Citigroup — to pump at least $500 million into the FHA's capital reserve fund to settle alleged mortgage fraud and foreclosure claims. In a separate shakedown, it forced Bank of America to inject another $500 million into the agency to settle claims against BofA's mortgage unit, Countrywide Financial.
