Welcome to the Hot Blogger Calendar Shoot Edition of the Sunday Smorgashboard!!! You really didn’t think I wasn’t going to Smorgashboard this special event, did you? So here’s the opportunity for you to read about the experiences of the photo shoot by the OTHER hot(ter) bloggers… snack away!
I think the general consensus amongst the spectators about Amy was that not only was she oozing uber-hawtness while rocking the shoot with confidence but that her accompanying entourage was uber-awesome as well. While I am a firm believer the clothes don’t make the person, and the person makes the person, little did we know that she almost left the little blue dress at the hotel! As Heather, Amy’s sister points out, at least she finally found
MeccaThe Apple Store.
Miss Britt was very astute in her observations that Queens is not like Manhattan, and there is no shame in flats. I just wish she had observed that walking to Chinatown via directions given by a street vendor is not necessarily the quickest, most direct route to get spring rolls via the Brooklyn Bridge.
Backpacking Dad delved further in-depth and added photos based on all of his Twitter updates from the weekend… proving that there are times when 140 characters just aren’t enough.
Busy Dad is so busy that he rolled his post in with his recreation and posted a recounting of his experience in a limerick Mad Libs Style. He even got a photo of the Lego Chewbacca from FAO Schwartz… proving that the Force is strong with that one.
Ericka had quite a bit of trouble with her bags thanks to JetBlue. Little did she realize that I live, literally, 1.2 miles away from their Corporate Worldwide Headquarters. Cherry bombs down the toilets work wonders. Just sayin’.
Josh from The Comics Curmudgeon joined forces with Francesco and ended up lighting a house on fire. Drew Barrymore ain’t got nothing on the bloggers of The Hot Blogger Calendar!
Jill gives an interesting diary perspective seeing as how she was the first blogger on the shoot schedule. There is positively nothing wrong with au’natural… of that I can assure you.
If Peter Shankman could be defined in only one photograph, then this would be the one. But let’s face it, between HARO, his traveling, his recreational activities and everything else… could but one photo truly define the absolute complexity? I think not… but then again I haven’t seen the final photo either.
Of course the dynamic organizing duo of Jane and Sarah have their own perspectives of the whole day as well. Sarah took a broader look at the whole experience by the numbers while Jane did a quick overview with an added compendium worth 177,000 words.
Sharon proved that you didn’t need to win in the votes to have a fantastic HBC experience. Of course… re-reading her post tells me why Poppy has Grape Nuts on the shopping list…
And finally…
Even though I was fully prepared to use milk in a B.A. Baracus type travel arrangement, Avitable didn’t make it to New York for the photo shoot. Instead he submitted his own photo… which promptly got rejected for the leaves in the pool.
So that’s a wrap on this edition of the Smorgashboard… have a good week and don’t forget to blog hard…
As a reward for feeding me with my internal thirst for reading materials… I designed this simple button for those who may want to display their Snacked upon status proudly:
Additionally… because I am beyond benevolent and loving contrary to what some people believe… here is the code for you to use with a permalink directly to this post. So if your blog was snacked upon today, all you need to do is copy and past the code:
Smorgashboard Sunday is a weekly compilation of interesting posts, pictures, and videos that I have found within the 350+ feeds of personal or personal related blogs that I currently read. Due to the volume of blogs and the 10-12 posts I limit myself to comment on, there may be times when posts that you author do not appear. This is not to say that you did not have a good post, or an important post, or even a post I did not read because in all likelihood I did indeed read it. This simply means that for that week(s) that you are excluded… well… I thought other posts were better choices for the Snacking. This does not mean I don’t like you, I don’t love you, or that I don’t read you. It just means that for that week(s), I chose other posts but there is always the possibility of next week. Unless.
Unless you cry, whine, send me e-mail messages begging me to feature you, send e-cards with links to the posts you want linked, tell me how I don’t love you, tell me how I don’t like you, tell me how sad you are, tell me how I don’t read you even though you know I did because I commented that week, and/or try to muscle me with threats of large “goombas” paying a visit. If you do any of that… then hold your breathe until you see yourself on the Smorgashboard again. While your doing that… go get a white hat and get yourself some Smurfberry Pie ‘cause you’ll be blue before you see it.
