BLOG CHICKS PIX
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:

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.
Yeah, some. Attractive, huh? 😆
Don’t forget the beautiful Vicky of Liquid Courage. Sure she’s my wife, but that doesn’t affect me in any way.
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!
The traffic from this is amazing. People must be like, “who’s THAT?”
hln
This is awesome. I love it.
Don’t forget Serenity of Serenity’s Journal (pic at bottom of the biography page).
And Courtney (currently MIA) (biography page).
And Gennie over at Dizzy Girl (hidden gem).
The very attractive Sheila.
OMG – They are all teenage misfit girls just like I read in the paper!
And Heather Noggle of Angelweave (bio page).
Wow! I’m very flattered to be mentioned in such gorgeous and talented company. Thanks!
Thanks for the mention, yep I have no problem posting my mug(in pictures catagory)or half nakidness as a skin on my blog. Thanks for the traffic I think.

Hey cool list! Thanks for adding me AlphaPatriot. 😉
Hey cool list! Thanks for adding me AlphaPatriot. 😉
Hey, there! Thanks for adding me on! I make it a habit to hide in plain sight. Thanks again…
Queen of Crapblogging, reprezentin’… Pril of Nth of Pril, and here i am. http://www.fotolog.net/nthpril/?photo_id=287418
its off the blog, but connected to the blog.
Thank you so much for adding me — I’m flattered to be included given the fine company! It makes me smile since I’ve feel like shit lately.
Gah! As for the IP thing you mentioned on whizbang, would you be so kind as to email me the details?
I even changed webhosts and the problem persists!
Don’t forget Mary at Exit Zero.
“Babes of the Blogoshpere,” LOL 🙂
Thanks for including me, I’m proud to be a part of such a list.
Jennifer Martinez sends
I’m game, as long as it doesn’t turn into one of those “would you f*** this person?!” lol
Danelle of My Life Is A Mess
Pic on Bio page. (Among other places).
I can’t believe I was included…
Very cool.
Thank you.
One correction on mine: the name of my blog is “sugarmama” not “eponymous blog”.
Thanks!
I volunteer the spouse of a blogger — Jessica, wife of J (that’s me)of Quibbles-n-bits.
woohoo thanks for adding me 🙂
melly of ordinary morning and yvonne of aged and confused both come to mind…
has anyone recommended Baldilocks yet?
If not, then I do.
Here I am.
How could you POSSIBLY have omitted Rachel Lucas?
http://www.rachellucas.com
She seems to be on a blogging-hiatus, but her archives are still amognst the best of the blogosphere.
Enjoy!

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.
Since I am new to the blogosphere, I thought I would chime in and say hey! My pics are listed under the See Me part of the About Me section of my sidebar. But honestly I doubt that people are reading my blog because of my good looks.
How could you forget about the cam-girls! 😉
I nominate someone else who is hiding in plain sight:
Rossi
What? You can’t find a picture of Rachel?
Look again.
Let’s not forget Annika of annika’s journal
Whoops…
annikas journal
Annika
What I need are the vital statistics of who are single and in their twenties.
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.
Well I’m not ‘nominating’ myself for anything, just noting that I’m hiding in plain sight also.
Well, I’m pretty new to the blogosphere, but I’ve posted several pics this month.
Ok, this was a surprise, since I don’t blog. But to try to be a little more legit, I have a goofy motorcycle diary I’ve been keeping for a few years.

Thanks, James. 🙂
Kate
I was really surprised to see myself mentioned (I didn’t think anyone knew about me). Thanks!
Makes me wish I’d posted a pic that wasn’t obtained by holding a digicam at arms length!
No claims to being a babe, but greetings from the Northwest via Arkansas:
http://www.northwestnotes.net/archives/000318.html
Don’t forget about Eve.
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0703/tushnet.html
Lordy! As if James wasn’t sending enough traffic with this post initially, now that InstaPundit has linked it the hits are going through the roof!
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.
I love Jett!
May I direct you to the fairest of them all, gun-totin’ biker chick, intellectual goddess and Samizdatista extraordinary Adriana Cronin.
Adriana with some serious firepower here: http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/004828.html#004828

I expect I will be banned for life from Samizdata now.

i’m just blushing

Damn! These pix make me feel like a fraud! I guess when I get back to blogging, I’ll have to post a picture from younger beach-bunny days — circa 1965!
Am I a babe of the blogosphere? I guess I should go off on some feminist tirade here, but really, this is so nicely presented – and it’s an honor to be in such fine company. So all I can say is a big thank you for the nomination and the link.

YOU gotta be kiddin’ me! I mean uhhhh…another desperate guy out for film(good try!) I was referred here by a friend. You gotta be doin’ better than looking where you are looking. (a)nd, that is suppose to be a capitol “A” there is more to a Babe than looks(brains count!); but hey, when ya got it why flaunt it with a pic on the front page!
…so it goes!

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.
Don’t forget Carlene from Stiletto Philosophy. This an entry with her as a go-go dancer at a Maxim party.
The link to my fav blogger babe Adriana is phuked up… please fix!
I think someone forgot to add Ith. I guess she would fall in the Hidden Gem category. Her pic is here: http://www.ondragonswing.com/journal/muse/

Okay, the pendulum needs to swing the other way. Add teh male bloggers here.
I’m definitely a “plain site” girl, blogging for almost two years: Shannon Campbell of Pet Rock Star.
This is neat stuff. Thanks.
You missed one of the best photos in the Hide in Plain Site category: Gretchen Pirillo at gretchen.pirillo.com. How a little dweeb like Chris, nice though he is, grabbed such a babe is still a somewhat beyond me.
Aha; a little digging came up with another larger photo of Gretchen.
Hey hey,
Here’s Nika… and my pics are all over the place!

How far up Venemous Kate’s ass does someone have to be to get linked by you? Is it mandatory?
I have newer pictures of me here. And I’m dressed like a bar wench!
Awesome list. Thanks!
I’ve got a list for the guys going here.
C’mon, gents, let’s provide some entertainment to the ladies…
Great list. I’m glad that I stumbled across your blog. I’ve been blogging for a couple of months and am enjoying the opportunity to read and chat with other bloggers.
How strange that I got added to this list! I don’t know if you care, but my journal is at http://www.idontthink.com, it’s just the photoblog at photoblog.idontthink.com.
Thanks for adding me though. It’s nice to think someone out there wants to oogle my goodies.

How could a list such as this NOT mention Stevie at caughtinthecrossfire.com? Yes, a strong. outdoor girl in boots can be intimidating, but this is a serious babe. (Sorry, I don’t yet know how to link. Newbie, dontcha know?) Great list, though. BTW, I adore Michele and Rachel as well. Best, Terry
The list consists entirely of people who were on my blogroll in October 2003 and those who were nominated.
Sorry, it’s caughtintheXfire.com. Told you I was a newbie. Terry
Actually, it’s caughtintheXfire.mu.nu…lol.
And, thank you, Sweetie!
This is so cool, I almost don’t know what to say…(and if yer at all familiar with me, you’ll know how rare that is…lol)
