John VanderMeulen… keeping the chaps out of the picture?
Winner of the “So Cute For A Clown — And I’m Scared of Clowns!” Award:
Mary Wise, thankfully (for me) out of her vocational makeup.
Winner of the “My Two Favourite Girls In The WORLD” Award:
Nancy and the Alien, looking adorable enough to make me teary at work.
AND THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER:
DUSTIN SACKS in a photo entitled “Blue Steel”… a photo that IMMEDIATELY won our hearts (not just for the Zoolander reference, but because COME ON… a camera phone AND that face?)
Damn.
Give your many props to Dustin, who will receive his top secret prize in the next couple of days…
AND NOW…
Vote for your favourite in comments so I can award the Audience Appreciation Vote (another prizewinning category…)
Thank you all! I LOVED THIS!

i vote for nancy’s alien in the cutest alien on the planet category.
July 11th, 2006 at 8:43 pm
Another vote for Nancy and the Alien!

Oh, stop you two!!
I LOVE the “Blue Steel” title! That made me snort milk out my nose. (OK, it really didn’t bit it might have had I been drinking milk at the time.)
I vote for Patia for best non-metallic smile.

Third vote for Alien & Nancy — Alien is looking more and more like a baby model.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:32 pm
How could you NOT vote for nancy and the alien…truly, they are ‘out of this world’ beautiful!!
July 11th, 2006 at 11:17 pm
The scary thing about Nancy and The Alien is how close they live to the Minot Air Force base and how likely that The Alien is really…an ALIEN!!!!!!
Still, they get my vote.

Nancy and the cutest alien ever! :D Sorry I didn’t join in the fun. Hopefully, next time.

You should all consider yourselves lucky that I didn’t send in my Morning Face picture. I meant to, but then realized that…ew.
Gotta vote for the prettiest baby of all time (except for mine, and it’s CLOSE!) Nancy And The Alien.
That sounds sort of like a TV show.
July 12th, 2006 at 10:11 am
Nancy and the Alien get my vote. (And not just because of reciprocity!)
July 12th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
Alien, all the way.
July 12th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
Definitely Nancy and the Alien!
July 13th, 2006 at 8:45 pm
Okay when will Dustin Sacks do “Magnum?
July 16th, 2006 at 5:07 pm
I vote for Phil, crouching behind a bush, having obviously dragged some kind of mirror out into the jungle and propped it up to photograph himself. He gets my vote for the extraordinary effort he went to. BUT Nancy and Alien deserve the award for a thousand reasons, mainly their extreme cuteness!
July 18th, 2006 at 4:39 pm
Magnum is in preparation. It’s just not ready yet. =)
