Sexiest Elf of Christmas Evangeline Lilly

The new Hobbit film is a fun and eye-dazzling expansion of the classic book. Plus, Evangeline Lilly makes it truly worthy of the name Fantasy Lit. Tolkien geeks who think Lilly shouldn't have been inserted into the storyline should be thrust back into their mothers' basements. (Eight or ten frames of Evangeline should be inserted into every film ever made and eight or ten inches of me should be thrust.... No good can come from completing that sentance.) Lilly is Canada's best export and probably the reason Bill Clinton signed NAFTA. She is more delicious than all the maple syrup in Quebec.

Every time we gleefully blurt out "Road trip!" is a primal confession that the human heart relishes a journey as much as a destination.
