Hey Guys

Firstly apologies if I post this in the wrong forum, as I was completely confused as to where it should go.

Also, sorry I've been absent for a while, I've been busy working on the magazine I write for, and on that note, I have something for you all to get involved with if you like.

As you may or not know by now, I write for a magazine called Living Life...Boomer Style and one of the features of the magazine is a voting contest we call 100 Hottest Boomer Men & Women. Several of the magazine's contributors, including myself, submitted many ideas for nominees, and while all the ideas were great, we did have to narrow it down to 100 men and 100 women.

In fact, many of the people I wanted to put on the list didn't make it, and some I would never have chosen myself did make it, but in the fairness of democracy, the votes were tallied to the final 100 of both men and women.

You'll notice that the male members of our own magazine team made it to the list! I'm not on the list because I'm too young - there's an age limit for the nominees, but that's OK by me.

That's also the reason our good buddy Jon doesn't appear on the list, like me, he's too young, but we all know if this were not an age restricted contest, Jon would win hands down.

Naturally the ladies on the magazine were slightly perturbed by the fact they didn't get on the list, so they're going to retaliate with some good old fashioned Amazon butt-kicking! Except me of course, because I'm not on the list either, so that does have it's advantages!

Just kidding, in actual fact, the ladies on our magazine actually nominated the guys as a surprise, they knew nothing about it.

Along with participating in the nominations and voting thus far, another of my tasks is to contact as many forums/websites as possible, and to also contact as many of the nominees as possible. My editor Dawn Bonner has given me the press pass to do this, although writing to celebrities has become something I seem to be quite adept at. Val Kilmer especially is someone I write to frequently, and when he has time, he does write back himself, sometimes his manager Jacque handles his online business.

Dawn even wants to do a feature on me (of all people) for a future issue, why I don't know, I'm not that interesting.

Cheers, Mikey

Thanks Mikey, that was fun...

I tried to vote but don't think I did it right. How do you vote?

I don't see Dennis Quaid or Vince Vaughn on this list, therefore I cannot participate. Although I am happy to see Prince there.

I see that both Mr. Starkey and his wife Barbra Bach made the list.. That makes me happy (I love Richard Starkey )

Hi Paula

I just checked the voting page and if you fill in the form and send comments as it says to then you have done the right thing. I'm sure your vote will be taken into account. We're not just interested in the votes, but also in people's opinions which is why there isn't just a voting button to click.

Current updates show that Val Kilmer is leading the votes for the men and Cher for the women. Contenders coming a very close second are Bette Midler for the women and Johnny Depp for the men.

I still don't know who nominated people like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity - I would never in a million years have ever nominated them. Oh well, it takes all kinds to make the world go round.

Cheers, Mikey
