February 17

Although not officially recognized as a national day per se, today is the birthday of three ladies who have at one point appeared in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list but have all dropped out in recent years. Voting will soon commence for the 2010 poll but will any of these three return to their former glories? To be honest, we doubt it, but their highlights are worth revisiting (in all three cases, clicking these links is very much NSFW - you have been warned!)

Denise Richards (39 today)

Cinematic highlight - Wild Things

Rene Russo (56 today)

Paris Hilton (29 today)
