“And as for the rest of you… we will be posting full details about the calendar photo shoot soon, so y’all come back now, ya hear?”
I’m not sure what you mean by this? Do you mean a) you’ll tell us details so that we can purchase a calendar or b) you want the rest of us at a calendar photo shoot (group shot)? I gather it is the first but it’s a little unclear.
It’s just vanity I guess but could you post the final vote tallies?
Go Katja! That’s a superstar comeback!
WOO HOO!! Can I be July? Thank you so much for a VERY fun distraction to my busy life. My readers ROCK. They ROCK. And a big thank you to all the new people who stumbled upon my site during this contest and stayed to read more, whether or not you voted for me. See you in NYC!
Congrats, everyone!
Ditto on wanting to see the final voting tallies. There were quite a few that were getting $$$ for charity per vote and I’d love to see what they raised even if they didn’t make it in the top 12.
This was all done well and in good fun. The extra bonus is that money was raised and exposure was given to some great, yet hardly heard of, charities.
thanks to everyone who voted. I hope I can make it to NY to meet everyone!
That was a blast. Busy Dad, take July, I want September.
autowin votes for September! Must wear school-teacher/girl outfit, whap desk with ruler, learn how to spell/punctuate!
I want January, and NYC Watchdog wants October.
It’s a deal, man! Hey, I noticed we both started our blogs around the same time. Yay for newbs!

Yay! Thank you! If we get to pick months I was hoping summer/winter…
Tempted to challenge Busy Dad for July, but considering that he owned me in the voting I probably ought to just settle for whatever month nobody else wants :}
Thanks for this, folks. It was a lot of fun and I can’t say enough good things about my readers and everyone else’s. Mad propz yo.
Oh. Crap.
This means I should go put make up on now, doesn’t it?
Busy Dad: Looks like the rookies made out alright. Looks like everyone is calling months already. This was a great way to cap my first year blogging for sure.
Since y’all are calling out months, may I pick my birth month – April

Cortex Meltdown…
It really started innocently enough. The opportunity for me to do something that, otherwise, I would probably never be able to do. Then the voting began in earnest. I threw out a motivational image, I launched a campaign, I showed off my Ginsu knife, a…
Since my wife and I both made the cut, this makes us the hottest blog couple right? Can we put that on our business cards? I kid, because she’s the hot one, I get points purely based on her leftover hotness.
Wait! Is it THAT kind of a calendar? Do I need to buy new Speedos and work on my non existing 6 pack!? Yawza…
YAY for Avitable, Britt and Dawg!!!

Damn right it does. Get a pin for your shirt and wear it proudly!
No, dont work on it, it goes w/ my sagging breasts that I hide in a padded bra and an ass that somehow fell down between 25 and 30.
trisha
Thank God now I am re-assured… No Speedo, which means I don’t need to worry about some extra sock padding too… whew… And in the words of George Costanza “I WAS IN THE POOL!!!!”.
And now… convincing my wife a trip to NYC is a good idea.
Can you convince my husband when you’re done?
I’ll represent the prudes!
Going to NYC is like sex, it’s always a good idea. Sadly, like sex, it can and will cost you greatly.
Okay—-loved the list, loved the peeps. On the dudes—-Where is GUY Kawasaki? And Black Hockey Jesus? Robbed. Love Peter Shankman, Backpacking Dad and Pete Cashmore. COOL!
Are we going to be able to see the final vote tallies? I’m dying to know how many votes I got, even if I didn’t win. Thanks!
They seem reluctant to provide this, I don’t know why. Maybe so those who got 0 or 1 vote won’t feel bad?
Response:
A few of the nominees have emailed us privately asking us for their final vote, which we have given them. If you would like yours, simply email us!
Dayum! Those ARE some freakin hawt bloggers…
I did email to ask for the total. I’ll try again.
