It’s only fitting that the final Hot Slut of the Day post be about the original: Dr. Dorian Cramer Lord Vickers Buchanan Callison Santi Hayes Laurence from One Life to Live!
The soap opera One Life to Live, which ran for over 40 years on ABC, was an essential part of my childhood and teenhood because it’s the show my mom watched at work during her lunch break. So I tried to keep up with the show so I could talk about it with her, and obviously, one of my favorite characters was the villainous goddess of pure glamour Dorian Lord. Dorian was the main nemesis of the show’s protagonist Victoria Lord (mainly played by Erika Slezak), and she was the hottest thing that little gay me had ever seen. I mean, she was a doctor and a vision of potent seduction, so she could steal your mean while doing heart surgery (I honestly don’t know what kind of doctor she was).
Not long after I started Dlisted, my friend Lahoma, who also wrote for this site once upon a time and knew I was an OLTL fan, said to me, “Make Dorian Lord Hot Slut of the Day; she’s the most gorgeous woman in the world!” So I did just that. On January 31, 2005, Dorian Lord became the first HSOTD. And the rest was HSOTD history. Dorian has been played by Nancy Pinkerton, Dixie Carter (yes, THEE Dixie Carter), Claire Malis, and Elaine Princi, but Robin Strasser’s portrayal of Dorian Lord is the standard. Robin bodied that role for 23 years. After I made her HSOTD, I got one of my most prized possessions:
I always keep it by my front door because if there’s ever a fire, I can grab it while running out. Oh wait, I just heard you say, “But Michael, you stupid fuck, what if the fire starts the front of your house.” Shit, great, now I have to spend my day digging a hole in my front yard to keep this precious artifact safe forever!
