Sharon Stone said of the crotch flashers, “I was playing a part, honey, what’s their excuse?“.

They were desperate for attention, of course, because all of the crotch flashes we saw looked carefully orchestrated for publicity reasons.

We covered most of the young ‘uns’ hairless kitties in our most popular post, Top Celebrity Crotch Shots of 2006.

There are a couple of more mature women we missed, though, and here’s why we think they were motivated to show their baby-makers:

Trying to promote a book and remain relevant: Kim Cattrall, November, 2006

(more pictures of Kim at this book signing, but none too revealing, at yeeeah.)

Trying to promote a scrapbook book and remain relevant: Courtney Love, December, 2006

It seems the older ladies had an excuse that Sharon should be all too able to identify with.
