Why is SUSANNA HOFFS the hottest member of the all-female American band THE BANGLES?
Susanna Hoffs is often regarded as the main vocalist of THE BANGLES, which is an American all-female band that originated in the early 1980s.
Several artists have referenced the Bangles in their own songs. Alternative-country artist Robbie Fulks sings a wistful ode to "That Bangle Girl", a song identified as one of his "personal favorites", on his 2000 Very Best album. Although Fulks never says her name, the line "When the little one took the mike, I knew I'd fallen" suggests the particular "Bangle girl" he pines for is Susanna Hoffs, the shortest member of the group and frequent lead singer:

From 1986 onwards, there was friction among band members after the media began singling out Hoffs as the lead singer of the group, due to Columbia Records practice of releasing mostly singles on which Hoffs sang lead vocal.
On September 28 2006, Tom Teicholz wrote an article for the Jewish Journal called: "Susanna Hoffs walks like a rockstar/Mom - Hollywood Jew". Teicholz begs the obvious: "How did a nice Jewish girl from Santa Monica become a rock star?":

It's often been said that The Bangles' mystique as a rock band could not have been at all without Susanna Hoff's bushy dark hair, dark eyes, as much as her Mediterranean features are an exotic attraction to the majority of American rock fans. As indeed, The Bangles are often attired in exotic apparel which alludes to Travellers in South Eastern Europe. The concept of Bangles also alludes to Chudi, which are traditional ornaments worn by South Asian women, especially Hindus. They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. Bangles are part of traditional Indian jewelry. They are usually worn in pairs by women, one or more on each arm. Hence, The Bangles is a rock band which alludes to Indo-Aryan migrations in Southern Europe, North Africa, Middle East, Persia, Afghanistan, and the Indian subcontinent.
Ranked #43 on VH1's 100 Sexiest Artists Susanna Hoffs is by far the most stunning and attractive member of this rock group, which was a chart topping success throughout the 1980s.
All of which begs the obvious: Is Susanna Hoffs' success partly attributed to her Jewish ancestry? If at all, to what extent is Hoffs to be described as a person of Jewish heritage as distinct from the other members of this group?:-
1) Susanna Hoffs' status as the most famous member of The Bangles is anecdotal evidence that Israelites are the Chosen People. Whereas, most American males would love to date Susanna Hoffs the same cannot be said of any female of North African, Palestinian, Arabic, Turkic, Iranian, Afghan or South Asian heritage. I quote some recent comments on Yahoo! Answers in connection with this question: “She is sexual napalm. She did most of The Bangles’ vocals on their big hits and she was hot. Saw them once in concert. She was hot then too.” In other words, Western civilization which is based on Christianity, JUDAISM, and Humanism is much better than the Islamic culture of Third World migrants from North Africa, Arab countries, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Indian Subcontinent. In other words, the Judaeo-Christian strategic political alliance is arguably the greatest alliance in the history of the world. This is why America’s diplomatic relations with the Middle East is typically skewed in favour of Israel. Hence, Barack Obama told CNN that “Jerusalem is the CAPITAL of Israel” in the run up to US Presidential elections in November 2008. Nelson Mandela has suggested that Western support for Israel has something to do with race. Historically, Western countries are much more inclined to support the Zionist cause than that of Palestinians given that Jewish people are essentially WHITE; whereas on the other hand, Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza, and neighbouring hostile Arab countries are not essentially WHITE. Anybody who is reasonably intelligent should be able to guess that race/colour is the underpinning factor behind Western support for the Zionist cause in the Middle East. No one could rightly claim to be a fan of The Bangles or Susanna Hoffs unless one also professes a sympathy to the Zionist cause.
To profess love to one individual means one should also have a profound love for said individual’s ancestral home. Who do we prefer the most: American Jews who are hardworking, successful, and law abiding citizens OR low-skilled Black Muslim migrants from South Asia, Middle East, and North Africa who are obsessed with Jihad as well as slaughter of innocent people?:

2) Susanna Hoffs' success is down to individual merit (both as a result of NATURE as much as NURTURE), which has nothing to do with her Jewish ancestry.
3) There is no biographical information whatever to suggest that the Hoffs are an observant Jewish family. By and large, American Jews are increasingly assimilated with the mainstream, political, White majority in the U.S. As indeed, it is common knowledge that Jews are a part of the White race in North America. There is no evidence that the Hoffs family belong to or participate with any Jewish organizations in the U.S. Thus, there is no evidence whatever to suggest that Susanna Hoffs is culturally "Jewish" per se nor is she “Jewish” in any sense with the exception that her lineal descent is Jewish. Although Susanna Hoffs has Jewish ancestry she does not have a Jewish upbringing in any sense whatever. Therefore, Susanna Hoffs' success has nothing to do with her Jewish background.
4) Susanna Hoffs is the only member of this group who has a Mediterranean, exotic, physical presence. On the other hand, the other members of the group i.e. Annette Zilinskas, Micki Steele, Debbi and Vicki Peterson are mostly from a Nordic-Alpine admixture. Whereas, they have only one heritage Susanna Hoffs is much more interesting, which is on account of her “bi-cultural” or “multi-racial” status. For instance, “Walk like an Egyptian” could not have been such a #1 hit without the exotic Gypsy-like appearance of Susanna Hoffs. Hence, it is by no coincidence that Susanna Hoffs is the most pined for member of The Bangles.
Hoffs' exotic Mediterranean features are mostly attributed to her Jewish ancestry. Concurrently, she has sufficient Dinaric, Alpine, and Nordic ancestry to appeal to the majority of American rock fans throughout the 1980s to date. Hence, Susanna Hoffs is neither American nor Jewish, but it is much more plausible to describe her as a hyphenated "American Jew". In other words, Susanna Hoffs is much more interesting than any other member of the group, which is on account of her “bi-cultural” or “multi-racial” status as a Jewish American with more than one heritage.
5) Susanna Hoffs majored in BFA Theater Arts at the University of California in Berkeley. She also studied dance at Berkeley. In 1987, Susanna Hoffs starred in Allnighter which was critically panned. It also demonstrates the fact that Hoffs is not well trained in the stagecraft of theater nor acting for film/television. However little her experience with acting, Hoff's is much better trained than any member of this rock group. Susanna Hoffs' alma mater taught her how to be sexy on stage and in front of the camera, whereas the other girls are essentially vocalists/guitarists/drummers with little if any experience at all with acting. Therefore, Susanna Hoffs status as lead singer in The Bangles is entirely down to her school, which has nothing to do with her Jewish background.
