Let the Objectification Begin: Vote for LA's Hottest Clerks!

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Welcome to the inaugural day of Racked LA's Hottest Shopkeep. For the next week, we'll be pitting your nominations against each other until only the hottest one is left standing. For just this once, forget all that crap your mother taught you about how "It's what's inside that counts" and "Don't judge a book by its cover."

Voting for each round will last roughly a day and a half, at which point, the we'll declare the winners, and then you'll vote in another round of matchups?and so on and so forth until there's only one moltenly hot shopkeep left.

You'll be evaluating and eliminating: Top row, from left Monica Murillo of American Rag; Jill Roberts of Jill Roberts; Christos Garkinos and Cameron Silver of Decadestwo.1/Decades; Evelyn Ungari of Diavolina. Second row: Mia Christiana from Wasteland; Ryan from Union; Jancarlo Beck of American Rag; and Andrea Trujillo of A.sweeT.
