Katrina Hodge and Erin Andrews live an ocean away from each other but both share one thing in common - Beauty and brute. Both queens of beauty know you can still be sexy. Even after a fight.

Lance corporal Katrina Hodge is not just a member of the British army, she's also a beauty queen. ESPN Sportscaster Erin Andrews doesn't only dominate a predominantly male industry, she's created a name for herself because of her beauty (see Wikipedia). So much so, Andrews is the two-time winner of Playboy magazine's award for "America's Sexiest Sportscaster".

Here's where else the two beckoning beauties match up.

In 2009, Andrews became the victim of a peeping Tom attack showing Erin getting ready through a hole in her hotel room. To fight back, Andrews took the anti-victim stance and went after her stalker - Who was later legally punished. To make a wrap, Erin accepted position on Season 10 of "Dancing with the Stars" and has teamed up with local support groups to "bring awareness" to her cause.

Now for Hodge, also known as "Combat Barbie". At 17, she joined the British Army on a dare and reported for duty decked in kitten heels, eyelash falsies and with a pink suitcase in tow. In 2005, Hodge was serving in Iraq when her and comrades were attacked. Beauty didn't stop  her. With a gun to her face, Hodge wrestled her attacker to the ground with her bare hands.

Later in 2008, Hodge went on to compete in the Miss England beauty competition and eventually took the crown. She's used her win to honor a bigger fight - To "highlight the work" of the British army and honor "what they have done" for her country. In addition, Hodge has used her beauty and nerve to alter the competition, eliminate the swimsuit portion and replace the traditional two-piece number with an athletic angle.

So while Erin Andrews and Katrina Hodge both fight their own battles, in some ways they're not so many worlds apart.
