Proposal?

Etherian made a suggestion the other day that I start putting up some Blogger Men of the Day. (I refuse to label my posts BMOTD, though. That's something completely different!) And now I see a comment from btezra asking what one needs to do to get a spot on the roster.

So what do you think? Should I start posting some Men of the Blogosphere? (MOTB?) I'd need some cooperation from the nominees! I'd want to have pictures that they like rather than pictures that I can snatch from somewhere out there.

Maybe a form letter:

Dear Blog-o-man,

You have been nominated to be an entry in the world-famous Empress' Men of the Blogosphere. Please reply to this e-mail with one of your favorite photos of yourself and you shall be forever enshrined in this oh-so-awesome privilege!

What do you think??

*UPDATE* Here are the rules!

How would you get nominees for this? Could we nominate ourselves? Or does that automatically disqualify us? LOL

I nominate Michael and Btezra....

but I think pictures SHOULD be supplied. ;)

I LOVE this idea!!

If it wroks, I could do Blogger Women over on my site!

I am SO for this. (Uhhh, good point on not calling it the BMOTD!)

I think you should do it like you did before with the emailed requests from your readers. As for the pictures, if they won't supply one, we'll make one up. ;-)

heh. if nominated, i don't think you'd want to post the picture i'd send you...

Sounds like a great idea.

How about the Baby Buzz picture I posted a while back? It's a little old, but a real winner in my books.

Great idea!!!!

I like MOTB - sounds good. And yes, if they don't supply a pic, something very fun could be made up. Like Natasha the Walking Gorilla for uhm.....

I think this is a great idea. And I, of course, nominate TJ!

comment by Nicole @ 11:30 PM on 07.23.04 [link]

I think it's a great idea. We should celebrate all beautiful men, not just the celebrities. I, of course, would have to nominate my hubby. And he is a blogger, so would that count?

~oh no, look what I started...I am a photographer of sorts, I like to be behind the lens...~

comment by btezra @ 02:42 PM on 07.24.04 [link]

Buzz told me to nominate myself. Ok, so he didn't tell me specifically, I'm just doin what his last post said. Ok? Ok.

comment by Mike @ 11:41 AM on 07.26.04 [link]

Coming from Buzz, I will nominate myself, what do you need me to do?

comment by Tom @ 11:51 AM on 07.26.04 [link]

Just sent you an email.

comment by MIKE @ 12:33 PM on 07.26.04 [link]

I nominate JJJJJJJJJJJB and I don't care if he is a rebel former-blogger. He's still a blogger in my book.
