Who's the Most Beautiful?
Nominations are in. Now readers, you pick the winners

Is it hot in here, or is it just us?

The nominations came pouring in when we asked readers to nominate friends, family or their objects of lust for our new online contest, Caller.com’s 10 Most Beautiful People of South Texas. Then we sat down to the tedious task of picking the 20 finalists.

Now, dear readers, it’s your turn to judge the primo players from the second-fiddles. Vote online at Caller.com today through Aug. 4.

On sea, there’s tan, pony-tailed Olivier Jallais, a champion windsurfer with an elegant French accent. And on land, there’s Stetson-wearing David Williford, an oilfield equipment salesman with a rock-solid jaw and a classic Texas drawl.

There’s police detective Charles Tryon - still a solid wall of muscle more than 20 years after his stint as captain of the Kentucky State University men’s basketball team. Contrast that with the delicate beauty of 5-foot-4-inch, 110-pound Jennifer Marie Nesmith, a Del Mar College Student with a 3.9 grade-point average.

Corpus Christi’s beautiful people range from Andy Rosas, a sledgehammer-swinging worker at the Sherwin Alumina plant, to Nelva Gonzales Ramos, a gavel-wielding state district judge.

But who are the very most gorgeous of the gorgeous? That’s all a matter of opinion, of course. So we want your opinion.
