:: "Who's hot? Who's not?" this week in Norse mythology ::

Monday, November 03, 2003

This has been a frenetic (or should I say Frey-netic?) week, with some notable break-ups and some sizzling shockers. We put the myth back in "Man. Myth. Morland" and tell you who's at the top of the lot, and who's nearing their own personal Ragnarok!

HOT: Nanna
Don't be fooled by the runes that she got, she's still Nanna from the Breidablik! The more buxom half of the formerly sizzling-hot couple BaNanna, she's out to prove to everybody that her love don't cost a thing, and bury all the uncertainty over her on-again-off-again marriage to Balder once and for all. Couple that with recent rumors of a tell-all book deal and upcoming album "Pyre-works", and this independent goddess is a triple-threat!

NOT: Balder
The rumor around town is that this hunk's repeated night-terrors (about his impending death at the hands of his own brother) were the cause of the now-infamous "BaNanna split". We loved him in "Praised and Denude", but he hasn't had a hit since, and this new moribund air tends to remind people of their own mortality a little too much. Talk about the death of a party.

PURGATORIAL: Frey
It's the question all Asgard wants to know: just how deep are this god's pockets? After all, he can fit a whole impeccably-accurate flying ship in there. No wonder this patron of bountiful harvests is so lauded. We hear there might be a little rain falling into the sun deity's life though - the word on the street is of Surt-ain peril.

PURGATORIAL: Loki
Bad boys are in, and none are badder than this wily cad. Having the dubious title of king of pranks isn't saying much in a town where antiquated notions of honor make people particularly gullible, but we're smitten with his devilishly good looks and trickster ethos. A word of warning ladies: the fruits of his loins tend to be wolves, girls with the legs of a corpse, or serpents so large they encompass the world, so start those Lamaze classes early!

HOT: Idun
What's this beauty's secret to looking so young? How about a diet laden with rejuvenating apples from her magical orchard? For a 1157 year-old, she doesn't look a day over 500!
