Over the last few months, we have fielded numerous inquiries about the Hot Blogger Calendar project. Specifically, what happened to it? Why wasn’t there a 2010 calendar?

Would you believe that the 2009 Hot Blogger Calendar was so hot that it will take all of 2010 just to cool down the blogosphere again? No?

OK, maybe our lives were just a little too hectic, what with multiple jobs and life-changing moves, to devote the necessary time and energy into making a calendar hot enough to kick off the new decade. Yes, that’s more like it.

But now that 2010 is upon us, it’s time to start thinking about the 2011 Hot Blogger Calendar.

It’s too early in the year, you say? Au contraire! We need to start heating things up now in order to make 2011 the hottest year it can be.

Just, you know, FYI.

Details to follow…

We’re excited to share our interview about the Hot Blogger Calendar by the delightful Jamillah Knowles for BBC Radio 5’s Pods and Blogs.

You can listen to our show here (our interview is abut 3/4 of the way through the segment).

Thanks to Jamillah for the opportunity!

*UPDATE* Thanks to Adam for raising this question: “Unless I’m missing something, there’s no option to ship to the UK?” 

While orders for the Hot Blogger Calendar through our e-commerce site can only be shipped to U.S. addresses, we can ship the Hot Blogger Calendar anywhere if you order through us personally! Please email us at either porricelli[at]gmail[dot]com or saranne03[at]yahoo[dot]com for shipping costs and we’ll gladly get your year of hotness to you!

We are also excited that the Hot Blogger Calendar ladies were recently featured on Urlesque, AOL’s web-trend/web-culture blog!

… how about warming up with:

Mrs. January

and:

Mr. January

Mr. Feburary in the male Hot Blogger Calendar, Ghost of Keywork, is quite the romantic.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Valentine’s Day falls in his month? Nah, he’s just a good guy.

You see, he just proposed to one of the Hot Blogger Calendar nominees, Dirty Pirate Hooker. They live in different states, but they’ll be spending New Years Eve together in Denver, and he wants to make it really, really special for her.

They’re both single parents who work really hard. And he worked really hard for me, too – and you – doing two tours of duty in Iraq with the Marines.

We recently told our bloggers that from now until January 1st, they will be getting $4 from the sale of each calendar they sell through their site. So he will be putting that $4/sale toward making New Years Eve as romantical (as Lo from The Hills would say) as possible.

He has shared with me some of the plans he has, which I can’t share here because, you know, his fiance may be reading this and he wants to keep those plans a surprise. But believe me, reading what he wants to do for his wife-to-be brought tears to my eyes.

So if you’d like to help him out, head on over to Ghost of Keywork and order a calendar!

We are at T-minus 15 days until 2009.

Are you prepared!?

You know you need to schedule. You know you love bloggers. Why not combine the two?

(Hint: makes a great gift, too! Just sayin’.)

You’ll be seeing a few of us outside tomorrow morning (Tuesday, December 9th) on the TODAY Show plaza, freezing our butts off waving excitedly at y’all at home.

Be looking for these signs (and this blonde holding one of them – that’s me!):

 

I’m not sure how many of us will be there – it’ll probably depend on the outside temperature! 

Hopefully if we get a chance to talk to Meredith, Matt, Al or Ann, I’ll be able to come up with something beyond, “Hi, Mom!” (But I’ll probably say that regardless.)

I’ll be live-tweeting our TODAY Show pilgrimage, so be sure to follow me: @janehcouto (and follow my partner-in-crime, too: @sarahmorgan, who may be live-tweeting from the comfort of her warm apartment!!)
