Arianna Huffington's entry into the blogosphere has upped the ante for bloggers in sexiness - the following is my subjective and opinionated list of sexy bloggers, gender-neutral
1. Arianna Huffington - She could keep a marriage bureau running, let alone a blog. That outre accent, the overblown attitude, and the alleged wild lifestyle would make a lesser mortal weak-kneed.
2. Wonkette - Stylized, gossipy, humorous, and politically smart - did I mention good-looking? That picture of "Big Dick" Cheney had me in splits.
3. Adam Curry - From VJ-dom to Pod-stardom, this dude's got it down pat. The Daily Source Code is a must-listen podcast.
4. Clay Shirky: This e-folk guru writes on the socio-economic effects of the Internet and collaborative technologies. Notable articles include "The RIAA Succeeds where the Cypherpunks failed" and "Social Software and the Politics of Groups"
5. Xeni Jardin: Boingboing co-editor and culture-tech journalist with the NPR and Wired, a multi-lingual, globalized, hot, smart person.
6. Duke De Mondo: This Irish lad is a wild one, given to Kirsten Dunst-types, leastways in his public persona, which is pretty snarly, and acerbic, yet intelligent and intense. Check his myspace.com profile for a few insights, and his blog for more. Listen to the podcast he flings out weekly, and his albums.
7. swingingpuss: This gal serves up "Smut,mindfood & social commentary for the eclectic, intelligent mind and the insatiable libido" - someone after my own heart;)
8. Xiaxue: Call her Wendy or Xan Xan, or hot, just call her - this smart blogger is oomph-alicious. Singapore minutiae and life from another perspective.

Heh, thanks for the unfortunate reminder that I signed up on MySpace a while ago. I was content not remembering....
And fun list :)

Did you really mean to call Adam Curry sexy? Or was that just thrown in for the podcast clout? I mean, after all, didn't his haircut used to be the mutant splice between the mullet and the Flock of Seagulls?
4 - Aaman
The term sexy is not necessarily intended as a sexual reference - perhaps coolness. Take it as you will:)
Nicolette, next time....
5 - Nicolette Rivers
If we are judged by past bad hair days: I'm screwed!
6 - -E
Unless, of course, you're being rated by someone that thinks overcoming a bad hair cut is in itself sexy :)
7 - Eric Berlin
Bloggers with sex appeal -- I love it, Aaman. Great job.
Damn, that link to Big "Dick" is going to be with me for way too many sleepless nights. That's just plain wrong... by funny? Yes, I must admit, it was hilarious.
And The Duke surly? Not to me, no. Colorful and not for everyone? Most definitely.
And I'm assuming my scruffy-looking pic from my completely unused myspace page never made it to your attention...

So EricB, apart from his lucky wife dickie's prowess is gonna give you sleepless night?
heh
9 - Eric Berlin
I don't want to get anywhere near dickie's prowess (or lack thereof), swinging, and in fact would enjoy, love, appreciate, and desire any and all of that realm, kingdom, universe, and multiverse of topic to flee my head and vanish into some horrid hell dimension, never to return again.
10 - Dave Nalle
All I can say is thank god I'm not on the list - that would be a sad day in blogdome.
Oh, and wasn't Adam Curry the one who had a kind of blond afro back in the MTV days?
Dave
11 - swingingpuss
Lol, didnt think otherwise Eric, but its kind of funny that a man so...er.. seemingly strong has suffered four heart attacks.
12 - Eric Berlin
Adam Curry used quite a bit of hairspray back in the day, but is better known now as kind of the Godfather of podcasting.
swingingpuss: You're not helping me leave that multiverse... you're keeping me way too close to that painful image, in fact... ACH! My head is shrieking from the agony of it...
13 - Eric Olsen
very brave Aaman, digging the hot SP pic!
Not a Xeni fan, at all; have come around on Adam, used to think he was a total pud. Very cool to resurrect Dawn and Matt. What the hell ever happened to Matt? But we can ask that about many. Thanks!
14 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
hahahah mother of god! i saw this post a few times on the comments sidebar and kept meaning to click it for to leave a hilariosu rant about why i wasn't in it. and i am! hahaha what's the world coming to? Aaman, i fear for your sanity.
15 - swingingpuss
Dawn, thanks to Aaman I got to see your old site and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Aaman, you should be working for the CTU.At times you really do 'scare' me ;-)
16 - Dawn
Yeah, my old site's a real scream :) seriously though thanks, those were fun blogging days and I am glad you made it on list SP!
17 - swingingpuss
Eric and Dawn, Aaman is still on time-out for putting my picture up without my knowledge. It will take sometime before he is let out of the doghouse.
18 - Eric Berlin
Where's Aaman's picture at, then?
Wouldn't that be proper retribution?
19 - Mark Saleski
thank you aaman, for takin' one for the team, so to speak.
20 - Dawn
I think we should all have big scary pics next to our posts like some *ahem* people do.
You first.
21 - Mark Saleski
ok, here's mine.
22 - Eric Berlin
Damn, you're hot Mark!
Wait -- what am I saying, I'm married!
23 - Aaman
Eric, I'll update this post with my own pic soon.
Philip, that would be an interesting (and easy?) tweak to the post php - a placeholder for the pic.
Who's yer sexiest bloggers then?
24 - Eric Berlin
YES!
Okay, I really need to eat breakfast... I'm getting silly.
25 - Mark Saleski
silly's right...i'm married too!
;-)
