The Man Blog Wants to Take You Shopping...
Ok. Here’s the deal. Last weekend, I was at the beach. I had two objectives in mind. First was to catch some waves before surfing season in La Union closed for the year. This I did without much difficulty as the waves were absolutely beautiful and because I am, as you all know, a surfing god.
My next objective however proved a bit too challenging. Yes, even for me. I had intended to convince a yummy specimen of the fairer sex to take off her top and allow me to take her photo and get her permission to feature it here on the site. How did I expect to do this? Well, the plan was for me to offer them 500 pesos right off the bat just for taking off her top. If she would allow me to photograph her and let me post it here on TMB, she would then qualify for a chance to win a 10,000 peso shopping spree. The lovely female participant would not be required to show us her glorious tatas or anything. She would have had the option to be as daring or as safe as she wanted to be. Simply put, I just wanted to photograph her with her top off. The catch though is that the winner of the shopping spree would be decided by an online poll. This would mean that the more daring the supposed participant was, the better her chances of winning. It seemed like a flawless plan really. And yet, it is with much regret that I admit to you all, that I failed. I. Am. Sorry.
I had overlooked a major loophole in my plan, the plain and simple fact that on the days that I was at the beach, I was presented with no viable candidates. There just weren’t that many hot women. The scant few of them were always, always surrounded by at least 3 massive surfer dudes, anyone of whom I was certain could easily beat me down to a nice bloody pulp. The women who were either alone or with a group of other women just weren’t drool worthy enough and I really wasn’t in the mood to burn money for boobies I weren’t exactly intent on seeing so with much heaviness in my heart, I decided not to push through with it, at least not that particular weekend.
Later that Saturday night though, while my friends and I gathered around a bonfire (I had gotten in the mood to burn money at this point) I had a brainstorm. The result of which is the actual point of this rather long winded article. I decided to tweak my plan a bit. Now, instead of prowling the beaches for a woman to willingly take off her top, I am asking all you delicious ladies out there to send us your photos while holding up a sign that says, “I love The Man Blog.” or anything to that effect.
If you’re having a difficult time picturing that in your head, here’s fellow Webbies Semifinalist, Jen the Sexy Nomad, to show you how it’s done:
The 5 hottest, sexiest and/or naughtiest pics will be featured here on TMB and compete in an online poll for a whole week. We will treat the winner to a 10,000 peso shopping spree. No. I’m not kidding.
Now for some ground rules because I really don’t want to get sued. You need to be at least 18 years old to participate. All entries should be sent to: editors [at] man-blog [dot] com on or before November 30, 2006. All entries will become the property of TMB and by sending your picture to us, you give us express permission to use the said picture as we see fit. Photos that have been altered, digitally or otherwise will not be accepted. You can wear as much or as little clothing as you like, as long as it is tastefully sexy. I repeat, you do not need to be topless to join. We will unveil the top five pics on the 7th of December and we will announce the winner of the poll a full week later, just in time for her to do some Christmas shopping! Ok. Serious stuff done. So what are you waiting for? Get out those cameras and start clicking away!

What if the ladies want to participate, but don’t want to reveal their identities? Maybe we should we allow blurred faces or only neck-down pics?
03:21 PM
Blurred faces? Neck down pics? It’s a thought. I wouldn’t say no to that and they will most certainly be considered for the prize. However, I’d say right of the bat that I find courage and confidence very sexy. If they can send pics that show their faces, They’ll already have an advantage, at least in my book. Again, they don’t need to be as daring as the Sexy Nomad. THEY CAN BE FULLY CLOTHED AND STILL BE SEXY. In which case I see no reason why they should blur or hide their faces.
03:25 PM
Wait! I have another alternative. If they want to send us something as daring or more but don’t want their identities revealed to the general public, then they can send us the whole photograph and request US to do the cropping or blurring for them That way, we have more to go on for the judging and the only disadvantage they may have will be in the online poll. I think that sounds fair.
05:03 PM
Or they can cover their faces (instead of their boobies) with the “I Love The Man Blog” sign. :)

Seconded.
07:45 PM
Well, why should the ladies be hiding their beautiful faces? Aren’t the sexiest parts of the female anatomy those pretty seductive eyes and full pouting lips. =)
.
Also, we can throw in an all-expense paid dinner date with a man-blog editor(s)of the winner’s choice. I hope that doesn’t discourage anyone who’s planning to join.

Preferably me. The tagline for this contest would then be “Win 10 large, get to date an internet celebrity and go home feeling violated.”
05:50 PM
Now THIS is interesting! Pimp this site, everyone, and join the fun!
01:39 AM

shirts or stickers made so you can give them out as consolation prizes :)
02:48 AM
steel! haha im not worthy to join..on 2nd thought i might try weeeeeee
01:42 PM
Cool. Maybe I’ll send one. :)
06:56 PM
Maybe it’s time we weaned Mikey off those trainer bras he’s been wearing. Set those melons free and win back the 10k we’re putting up for grabs.
07:38 PM
Im waiting for the first law suit. haha
09:15 PM
This is the best idea evar, Mr. Mordo. Any idea where we can buy roofies?
03:51 AM
hey peter! thanks for checkin’ my account. so less skin…much better?
04:09 AM
Somebody was asking me if you have to be 18 or older to join…
10:15 AM
No not really. We’re not doing anything illegal. Yet. ahem.
11:29 AM
Benj, although the sight of sweet young innocent flesh is welcome, I’m afraid that we cannot promote such exploitation as we aren’t that fond of lawsuits and even less, jail time.
.
Rika, please don’t get me wrong. Although nudity is not required nor is it any guarantee to winning, I personally like more skin.
12:05 PM
Can I give pictures of people without their consent?
12:19 PM
How would you make them pose with a TMB fansign? Also if you win, I’m not going out on a dinner date with you man.
02:58 PM
Will there be a contest for guys too?
05:06 PM
Benj, soon enough we’ll have something for the guys but definitely along very very different lines. Because c’mon bro, do you really want to look at pics of scantily clad men?!
.
Jaywalker, I’m curious how you plan to do that when they need to hold up a fansign. Are you a hypnotist? Can you teach me?
.
Ro! We await the nsfw pics AND your entry with bated breath.
.
Richelle, perhaps later on we can do that. If the response to this is good enough, I can get better sponsors, (and by better I really mean, not me) and therefore be able to give out grander and more prizes.
.
Rika…we’re waiting…hehehe
.
I just noticed that all the female commenters’ names start with R. I wonder why?
05:17 PM
well, i didnt exactly say that the contest should be on the same lines.
does this mean that my 3 year old niece can’t join? Boo. She wouldve wanted to buy all the Bratz merchandise she can get her hands on.
Anyway:

Glad to see whe’re on the same track Benj. Anyway, my apologies to your niece. Perhaps she can convince an older sister or one of tito Benj’s hot friends to join on her behalf.
09:15 PM
haha im also waiting for steel
01:07 AM
All I know is that I’m putting my money on Mikey’s boobies.
11:41 AM
@Mikey: Who’s interested in a dinner date …I thought you were gonna rape the winner
@Adam Mordo: I have a devilishly attractive, naturally hypnotic face. I can make women do things against their will just by staring at them. Plus I’m good with photoshop
12:08 PM
Put down your Photoshops, gentlemen. We have Ro and Rika here who are (hopefully) willing to participate.
.
@Rika-chan. I already sent you the banners. =)
02:13 PM
Also, Adam, if only one girl submits an entry after the set deadline, does she automatically win?
03:45 PM
Unthinkable as that may be Mikey, I have a contingency plan for that situation. That gutsy lady wil then win half of the prize automatically. An online poll will then be held between her pic and the Sexy Nomad’s pic. If she wins in the polls, she gets the other half of the prize. If not, then the money is carried over for the next TMB promo. Unless of course you feel that that isn’t fair.
