Golly, we sure do love lists. Especially arbitrary, wonderfully judgmental lists. And so it brings us great joy that the latest New York magazine has come forth to magically proclaim the 50 most aesthetically pleasing New Yorkers. A sampling of the Chosen Ones:

Sean MacPherson, 40, Hotelier

Of course Yvonne saw all these people at Bette — she's Bette proprietress Amy Sacco's BFF. And if 1 out of every 10 beautiful New Yorkers is hanging out at Bette, well, that sure is one sexy restaurant. You can't buy that sort of publicity.

Oh, who are we kidding? Of course you can.
