Best of 2008: Round One, Match Three

Well, San Francisco's been fun so far (I'll write up a full report soon), but today it will likely take a nosedive as it's the first full day of nothing but sitting in the convention center. Still, I've brought the laptop along on the trip and have been working on the novel positively everywhere. On planes, at meetings, in restraurants and bars. Being away from my usual distractions definitely helps me focus.

But you didn't come here for that! You're here to vote!

I don't get why everyone's voting for C when D is clearly the superior of the 4, but there's no accounting for taste I suppose.

Is it the gloves or the bird?

I dunno. I just like the whole composition, and the model is my kind of woman. The other three all look sort of...pre-pubescent.

Plus, D may not be showing a whole lot of backside, but she is showing off the "dimples." Hard to ignore that.

Wow. Usually I'm with the crowd, but not on this one. C seems too porny to me. D is a nice picture, but doesn't feature the rump enough. I think I'm going to switch my vote to B so she's got a chance against C.

Agreed. I voted B too. Her look adds a lot to the picture.

You mean that look of mild irritation?

Heh. In the mini version it looks more intense, and appealing.

It is a bit on the porny side, but I love the trees outside her window, the curve of her right foot, and that her underpants match her hair color (which is not a fetish I even knew I had).

Toughest round yet. I'd like to give all of these a vote.

And yaaaaaaay for the novel! :)

It's funny how that happens. Several times, I thought one or another picture was going to slaughter the others and then one that I barely gave the time of day to emerged to beat the others fiercely.

this one was tough... I was genuinely torn among a, c, and d. Ultimately decided A was the most unusual...

Good... originality often gets overlooked in the voting.

So....are we voting on the best picture of an ass or the best ass?

I choose the later and say C.

Personally, I vote for best photograph, but each is entitled to vote as they see fit.

I'm with most of the posters and least of the voters. C is just blah, it's D all the way.

I think she's one of Marilyn Manson's exes.

So funny... what is it about her?

Re: oh dear...

more than just an "it"...

the look she's giving has got a lot going for it right there, but i'm also a sucker for a girl just wearing a top (better than naked, i think, and i don't know why). and, well, the ass.

let's talk about that ass.

i tend to go in for an ass that's smallish, yet still round. an ass like that is going to age verrrrry well. perhaps it's just the lighting, but the skin tone looks oh-so-touchable, too.

ok, nearing stalker territory now...ahem...

That reminds me... I need to see Altman's "Short Cuts" again.

Re: oh dear...

either that or requiem for a dream, and one is less psychologically damaging than the other (albeit in a good way...).

Can't wait to see you Thursday.

B. Hope I am not too late. How could B not win this round. Too many injustices in the world...
