Reader-submitted complaint: You are SUCH a lez. Are you done stripping and making out with your girlfriends? Where are the men?

OK, fine.

You guys DO know that this is supposed to be a blog about writing, right?

TOP TEN HOT BABES WHO READ THIS BLOG: MALE EDITION (again in no particular order, because I’m Canadian)

Alex is definitely a hot babe. In fact, just the other day, I was talking about him in what SHOULD have been a fairly stodgy work meeting, when one person broke in: “AREN’T YOU MARRIED?”

Oh.

Okay, fine.

As soon as I told the stampeding horde that I would be doing a male Top Ten, I received a special request to put John on the list. As if there was some chance he might have been left off. You guys crack me up.

This is Nate, AKA The Capitalist. All of my brothers are hot babes, but I couldn’t pick all of them. (Sorry, Mom.)

I’m pretty sure that if I didn’t put Zach on the list of Hot Babes, he would dash off a cutting review to Quill & Quire. Actually, he might do that anyway. That’s one of the reasons I think he’s hot.

Steve and BONUS HOT BABE ANDREW are super hot. Sadly, they’re both married. Their YouTube videos are on hold while they audition for Canada’s Next Top Model.

Jon is…hmmm. I was about to call him a Hot Bible-Camp Babe, because that’s where we met, but that would leave the wrong impression. We met at Bible camp and went to university together. Oh, and he’s a hot babe.

Somehow I left the Yukon Babe-ettes off the earlier list. (Shame on me!) Michael will have to be our sole Yukon Babe. HECK YEAH.

My buddy Glen keeps promising to move back to Yellowknife. He’d better. We can’t have all of the hot babes living in Regina.

Mr. Bastard (as they call him) is — wait a minute, what is it with all of the hot babes who live or have lived in Iqaluit? These lists are hard to cut to 10, but it appears that there’s a common thread. So maybe Mr. Bastard is just one of many hotties in Nunavut’s capital.

And finally:

I suspect that Stephen is the Hottest Blogger in South Korea. OK, I have no evidence for this. But he’s definitely the hottest person in Asia who reads my blog.

See, I’m not sexist: I leer at both men AND women.
