Cool Idea: Hot Blogger Calendar Contest

Ok, so this is cool. Or, I mean, hot. Sarah Porricelli and Sarah Morgan had enough fun selecting the hottest male blogger (non-sex blogger Peter Shankman) that they going a step further and soliciting nominations for not one, not two, but an entire calendar's worth of hot bloggers!

When I first started blogging there were some pretty wonderful male sex bloggers, but probably not enough to fill a calendar. Now there are quite a few more and I think it's great. If you want to nominate someone (it obviously doesn't have to be me**, especially after being such a dull boy all summer) you can nominate your hottest male blogger here, and, since Porricelli and Morgan didn't want to follow Playboy's lead and select only from one gender, they're running a second contest so you can nominate your hottest female blogger here.

Key point, though: your nominees don't have to be hot *sex* bloggers. For instance while Peter Shankman was selected as the hottest he's just a great, eclectic, all-around sociable blogger and seemingly a darn good choice. The point is don't feel like you have to limit yourself to any category. (And since "hot" doesn't have to mean "hawtt" my choices, for instance, might be political blogger Ezra Klein for hot male blogger. And at least for today I might choose Rachel Maddow for hottest woman blogger.)

Further details here:

You nominate your Hot Blogger, male or female. Nominations will be accepted for just one week, from August 18-25. You can vote for yourself (we won’t tell!) or for any other blogger who makes you muy caliente!

But you must spread the word, because obviously, the more people who vote for you your nominee, the better chance that you your nominee will be a finalist. Finalists will be announced August 25, and voting from August 25-September 1 will determine the Hot Bloggers who will grace your calendar pages throughout 2009.

Anyway if you're into these sorts of things tell *all* your friends.

[** The one fly in the ointment would be that being only 98.6 degrees (Fahrenheit) I'm not exactly *hot,* and that I'd bring that up says I'm not exactly cool either. Which, I guess, makes me only lukewarm... "But m'friends call me Luke." --fl]
