Bobby Brown (and later on, Britney Spears) said it best.
It’s my prerogative.
(And let me just say that it’s a strange, scary day when these two collectively make a whole lotta sense.)
Ever since the nominations first started rolling in, one thing I’ve loved about this Hot Blogger Calendar contest is the variety of it all. I think sometimes we can get wrapped up in our own blogging world and forget about all the other types of bloggers out there.
Of the 359 nominees (Sarah and I had to count today), there are tech bloggers, real estate bloggers, mommy bloggers, dad bloggers, celebrity bloggers, political bloggers, sex bloggers, social media bloggers, style bloggers, PR bloggers, humor bloggers, sports bloggers, travel bloggers, business bloggers… the list goes on.
The field is vast, baby.
And here’s the thing. How you want to promote yourself? It’s up to you. There are about as many ways to do it as there are nominees.
Some ladies are going the risque route. Other aren’t. Some guys are turning their votes into charitable donations. Some aren’t.
There’s no right way, there’s no wrong way.
And if you’re one of the final 24 and get to appear in the calendars? Don’t fret. Sarah and I are leaving our smoking jackets, pipes and girls next door at home in the grotto.
The photo shoot – and the photos themselves – will be fun, tasteful and appropriate for all eyes.
So breathe, OK?
There are certain images we don’t want burned in our minds, either, you know.
Now repeat after Bobby: It’s my prerogative.
And now we reminisce… back to when we thought that Britney Spears had hit her low point by marrying Kevin Federline:
Looking for today’s leaders? See the Sarah’s post below.
Speak for yourself… maybe YOU won’t be bringing your smoking jacket, pipe and girl next door to the shoot!
{note: must get grotto. stat.}
I will be bringing my smoking jacket. Per my comments a week ago:
Yeah, the smoking jacket was way cooler when smoking was the ‘healthy’ thing to do. Now it’s just a fucking velour robe. I want a red one with my coat of arms on it. Then I want ‘CHAMP’ embroidered across the back. Once I find a way to write for a living, that’s all I’m wearing. All smoking jacket, all the time. Formal event? Smoking jacket. Funeral? Smoking jacket. Because Hugh Hefner won’t live forever, and someone needs to bring back the smoking jacket.
Just change the part about ‘making a living’ to ‘get in the Hot Blogger Calendar’.
That Britney video is hilarious!!! I have never saw it before. Thanks for the laugh.
They should do an updated version where they somehow incorporate her shaving her head into the video.
I would like to draw some attention to all the bloggers I have pimping me out. I posted for them, go check it out. It’s hot.

Were people worried that it was really going to be like a swimsuit or naked calendar?
And it’s a real honour to be nominated, just as that little yellow thing says.
However, it’s a slightly more dubious honour to find that I’ve been listed under the gals rather than the guys!
Can I wear my cop uniform if I win?
Hey, if BB gets to wear a cop uniform, I’m wearing my medals. JUST my medals.
Wait.
No swimsuits?
I just spent $500 on a Michael Phelps skin tight swimsuit.
It ain’t right.
LOL @ Ghost!!!
@Dawg- I’ll start a petition just to have them photograph you in that, hahahaha!
Thx, BB. Good Luck.
