BLOG CHICKS PIX

Comments

Observing the frenzied reaction to Asymmetrical Information proprietress Megan McArdle‘s posting of a photograph of herself on both the blog and her TechCentral column, it became apparent to me that there was a huge demand for photographs of the Babes of the Blogosphere.

I’ll divide them into three categories by locatability: Hidden Gems (in an individual post or offsite); linked on a Biography Page; and Hiding in Plain Site (permanently displayed on the main blog page or, um, “site”). I’ve started a list with regular reads and/or readers:

Hidden Gems

Feel free to add your own submissions via the comments feature! Nominations are now closed. Feel free to submit nominees for the sequel.

Note: To ease confusion, I’ve decided to simply update the main post rather than keep numerous updates in the Extended Entry section.

Note 2: Not that these are “adult” photos or anything, but bloggers must be 18 or over in the photos to be eligible.

    It’s a technicality, but I’m more in the Hiding in Plain Sight category since I have roaming pics in my masthead. And thanks for the link and traffic. Since I couldn’t open your page last night I couldn’t find out why I had so many visitors from OTB. ‘Preciate it…

    Let me recant somewhat – I just checked my about page and I see that I forgot to change the masthead for that page, so you are correct. Thanks again.

    No prob. The blog was down much of the night, or you’d have had more traffic, probably.

    The pics on the main page do rotate and seem to be mostly childhood ones.

    Wait, didn’t some big time journalist once claim that bloggers were teenage misfit girls? I think you’ve done a lovely job rebutting that, James. Well done!

    I actually thought about Rachel’s site and forgot about it while looking for links and editing.

    I know I’ve seen a picture of her other than the kiddie shot on the masthead but need a link to it.

    Yeh, I was highly disappointed not seeing Rachel mentioned. I wonder if ‘Sunny’ (her dog) counts as a female of the blogosphere, considering how often she’s viewed or used for blog material.
    Heh.

    Hey, how ’bout Susannah Breslin. She used to do the Reverse Cowgirl’s Blog, over at Slate or Salon, I don’t remember which. Had her piccie up there, but of course, it’s gone now. A Goggle image search did me no good (tillamook cheddar?).

    Ah, here she is. She’s doing an audblog now.

    The really odd thing is, it’s not like they’re even advertising us as half-naked babes.

    People really do want to see what the strangers they’ve been reading for all these months look like, I guess.

    An unbelievable Instalanche Echo Effect. James’ referrers look like a typical Instalanche does, only with Outside the Beltway instead of Instapundit’s URL.

    Oh my good James! The traffic from this is off the chart. Yesterday I got over 500 unique hits. That’s twice as much as when I was profiled in the Chicago Tribune this past summer. Totally amazing!! Mega thanks for including me on the list. Now I suppose I should go update the picture. I’ve lost quite a few pounds since that picture was taken.
