Some internet blogger obsessed fans have created a unique way to honor their favorite writers. The Hot Blogger website asked for nominations of sexy bloggers, men and women, to be showcased in their 2009 Hot Blogger Calendars. The three photos in the gallery are three nominees who made the 2009 Hot Blogger Calendar cut.
The calendars come in two versions, male and female. None of the blogger models are celebrities and many do not even have a big following; and surprisingly, some aren’t even that hot. However, due to word about the contest getting out and by shameless self promotion by bloggers’ linking to the Hot Blogger Calendar website, 24 photos of previously unknown males and females will adorn walls in homes of blog-o-philiacs.
