Time For The Finals!

2005-07-27T19:16:00.000-07:00

I would seem more exited about this, but I had dialysis today and I'm kinda tired. So, the poll for the finals of Miss RSJS are below. You can vote until 7/30. Vote as often as you can and you can go to the other site to make your voice be heard. So have fun everyone! Remember, only one can be Miss RSJS!

Okay, Voting's Over.

2005-07-24T23:05:00.000-07:00

Here's the top five, after looking at the stats fro both sites.I gotta be honest, I nevwer thought I've get this many folks to show up. We had over 350 votes all together, it seems. So, the five finalist are...

Penda

April

Kristin

Karen

Pandora

To all the nominees, thank you all for the fun. I did this for sheer heck of it all and I'm glad I did, and I hope I made a few friends out of this. Now it's time for the really fun part. Why do you think these five women are great? Let us know in the comments. If you never read them before, do it now. Because we vote on the winner Wednesday night starting at midnight, e.s.t. . Oh, and be nice in the comments about all of them..No mudslinging.

A Good Ol' Fashioned Catfight

2005-07-22T15:40:00.000-07:00

Wow, this is gettin' good. As I write this now, Redneck Diva and April Winchell are tied at first place. Diva's letting everyone know at her blog, like most of the others, while I think April is getting support over at KABC in L.A.. So, just to make it fair for everyone, I'm keeping the poll up until Monday so everyone has a shot. Plus it'll give me a break as I have a major weekend going on here. I've got two major radio shows going on WEAS, plus this is the weekend for Jamfest, which was postponed from last month due to rain, but is going on Saturday. Singer Toni Braxton will be there and I'll be bringing her out, hopefully. This is going to be as dream come true, I can promise you. I have a good feeling this nis really gonna turn out to be a good weekend all around. I'll see ya after the show, gang!

Dang...

2005-07-21T20:56:00.000-07:00

I knew I would get one in late....

Moos just shot me an email saying, "Please don't tell me it's late because you have to see her site!"
http://www.cow-dog.net/

I feel kinda bad about this, but I knew it would happen. Like I said, there are thousands of female bloggers out there and I knew I wouldn't get them all. However, there's always a next time and I hope that we can do this again soon. And yes Karen, I went to the site. You knew that a Bruce Timm drawn Wonder Woman would hook me and it did. Hopefully next time, we'll have more women for the next time and she and I pray, more bloggers will be there. Thanks!

Time To Vote

2005-07-21T20:07:00.000-07:00

Okay, we're gonna do this now, as I just found out that I have an emergancy DJ gig to do tonight. Here is the poll machine for The Miss RSJS Beauty Pagent! It's down below, just to the right. Now I guess you can vote as often as you can for your favorite person, but remember, this is only for the TOP FIVE. Next week, we'll see who they are and that winner will become Miss RSJS. So, tell your freinds, tell your neighbors, tell everybody, because the voting begins NOW!

Don't forget...You can vote at the other site as well. Have fun, everybody!

Did We Miss Anyone?

2005-07-20T21:22:00.000-07:00

Alright, this should be everyone we can geet in before the semi-final voting tomorrow, You'll be able to see how the voting goes at the home site Out of all of them, we'll only pick FIVE and five only and next week, they'll square off duing the final round. None of that Seacrest crap. When we pick 'em, you'll see it. Here we go...

Now, with all of the comic blogs I have linked here, you would have thought that one of those guys would have nominated Heidi MacDonald here. Yes, sad but true...we comic fanboys want women to be around them, but we don't know how to do anything when it comes to them. I could go on about women's anatomy in funnybooks, but not now. Anyway, Heidi's been one of comic's biggest supporters and has been the field for years and has her own comic site, The Beat .

Another person who's name wasn't sent in was Babs of The Conversation Station. She's a wife and mother who homeschools her two boys. According to her,"Some have called me stubborn; I prefer strong willed. I strive for competency without the fear of change, and I enjoy sarcastic humor. Classic literature and classic movies can't be beat. You can never go wrong with chocolate. Shrimp and steak are my favorite dinners. I only consume vegetables on occasion for nutritional purposes." If she were posting this, she might end it like this...
"HOW COME NOBODY NOMINATED HER FOR THIS CRAZY THING?!

I think that's it. I know that there's alot of female bloggers out there, but these a few just a choice few of the many diverse women bloggers out there. I never meant this to be a joke, but I wanted to honor all the bloggers involved who have the courage to write about their lives and the world around them. I didn't want to ridicule them or be a sexist pig about this. I just want to say thank you to all of them out there for the great things that they do, in and outside of the web. With that done, now it's up to you. Tomorrow night, we start the voting. It's up to you now to tell us who are the top five of the field. Once again, I gotta thank you guys for letting me get away with this.

Here's More Nominees!

2005-07-18T16:02:00.000-07:00

I'm just getting in from dialisys. I actually had an early
day. I feel like I'm back in sixth grade again and getting a half day. So, I'm taking advantage and putting up more nominees. Here we go again...

Here's Laura of The Artful Blogger. She's married with three kids, police officer and an artist. Very cool. Support your local police.

Here's Paige, who calles herself ThatWickedWench. It's also the name of her blog. She says, "I love your idea, so I'm gonna be really forward and vain and nominate myself! My blog is http://thewenchsbrothel.blogspot.com/ and I have just recently gone from a 'normal' blog to posting erotica for the most part.. I also have a short story blog and one where I am working on a 'memoir' of sorts. I live in Georgia, am newly single, and spend a lot of the time when I'm not out being all wild just staying at home with my dog, Zoe." Needless to say, this site isn't safe for work, kids or anyone who hates sex. I checked it out...Trust me. She's a very sexual woman.

Now, here's a nominee nominating a nominee! Kristin, our Redneck Diva says this: "Okay, okay, I can't stand it any longer: I'm nominating my dearest friend and blog-sister, Moos! By golly, if I'm gonna be in this with 47 bazillion other women, then Karen needs to share the excitement with me! Karen is the sweetest most precious gal I know and I can't wait to run off to the Big Sky to see her one of these days! Besides, she shares my love of baby copperheads and other farm critters!"

By the way, that isn't her. That's actually Sally Rand up there. That is one lucky horse. Karen's site is called Karbon Kounty Moos.

Here's another one we got in comments at the RSJS. "Found you over on Gina's Spot and so I'd like to introduce myself to the fold. Pammie here blogging under the guise of Plicious! Saucy, Sassy, full of ramblings and musing for the masses!" She lives in Decatur, Georgia, is a single mother (here she is with her daughter, Mini-Me), and her site's named "ThE EmAnCiPaTiOn oF pAmMiE" (her spelling). I actually found a picture of just her leg in a pump, but I thought this was better.

Looking at all the photos and the blogs, it shows me that women are diverse. I mean, look at it...Police, students, sectriaries, voice over artists, graphic designers, stay at home moms, work all day moms, single moms, married moms. But, they're all women and that's why were here celebrating them. Let 'em know how you feel by checking them out at their blogs and letting us know by dropping us an email at samjohnson@gmail.com . Remember, we'll can always use more nominees!

Here's Round One!

2005-07-17T19:31:00.000-07:00

Okay folks, Here we are with The First Annual Real Sam Johnson Show Beauty Pagent! I'm you host, Sam Johnson, and we have got a stellar line up of wonderful women here. The reason for the contest is to intoduce you all to the many female bloggers out there and how diverse they are. That and the fact that I ran out of ideas on my own blog.

Here's how it works...We'll try to get in as many female bloggers in as we (myself or David of Better Living Though Blogging) or as you nominate them via email. You can do that at samjohnson@gmail.com , but you have until Thursday night until 11:59 p.m. est. to do so. Then, we'll set up a virtual polling booth here on Friday to vote on the five runners up and you can vote until that Monday night. Then, on that Tuesday we'll see the results and then the fun part. YOU PICK THE WINNER. In case of a tie, David and I have the final say. The winner gets this site to do as her very own, plus the honor of being The Miss RSJS for one year. So, get your nominations in today! Below are some of the nominees and hopefully soon, we'll see more. Good luck to all the contestants and we'll see you all at the end of the road!

These are taken from the original post from The Real Sam Johnson Show.

I have a feeling some of you thought I was kidding about the Miss RSJS, because no one has sent in a nomination. I think some of you by now know that WHEN I SAY SOMETHING, I MEAN IT. Yes, I am serious about this. So much so, that I have taken it upon myself to drop a nominee or two into the pool. So here they are.

Here is Allison from Allison Lives. She's 27 years old and lives in Maryland. According to her, "In my spare time (which I never seem to have enough), I enjoy artistic things like watercolor and painting pottery. I love to read, mostly English or American classics. I'm an avid movie-watcher, however I hate animal movies, depressing movies, and just plain weird movies. I really enjoy spending time working on my websites or doing other computer-related projects. In fact, I spend entirely too much time in front of my computer. I prefer to label myself as computer-savvy. I don't know enough to be labeled a geek...yet. "

This is Tiffany from Blown Fuse. She's from North Carolina, married and has been blogging since January of 2004. "The Queen of Snark" says, "This blog is called blown fuse because it just seemed appropriate. When we first moved into our house, I tried to plug something in to an outlet in the living room. It blew up and threw the entire circuit into fuckeditude."

She also owns the soundtrack to the musical "Hair".

This is Kristin, better known as Redneck Diva. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband and her three kids, one of whom is named Sam. That alone got her here.

Finally, this is April Winchell. She lives in L.A. and does voice-over work, incluing cartoons like "Disney's Recess" (she's Miss Finster). She's been blogging since 2001 and does a radio show as well. And yes, her father was Tigger.

Now, these are just my nominations. We want to hear from you now.Who do you think should be Miss RSJS? From all the nominees we'll get, we'll pair it down to just four and then just one.So, get them in soon. We'll add all the nominee to Flickr and you'll have a chance to check them out before you vote. So, once again I say, Get those emails in to samjohnson@gmail.com in now!

Here's Penda from Penda's Realm. She's from Detroit!Go, Magic Mojo (she'll know what I'm talking about)!

And now we have Lachlan from My So Called Blog with her dog Sumi. I thought she was huggging a fox for a second. Still cool, though.

Here is Keri from Under The Big Sky.She's blogged since April, 2005 and according to her, her job is "making people happy".

Does she give out free money? I would be happy with that.

Here's Julie from Lone Prairie. She's in North Dakota and does grapic design. I think she's the first one who's ever clicked on my Radio Spirits link. And, if YOU haven't, why? I get a buck or two out of it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, PANDORA ZOWADA! You know she had to be here.

Here's shot of Aimee from Aimee's Blog. She loves animals and cute earrings, as you see here.

Finally for now, here's Lee Ann from The Cheese Stands Alone. "Well, I've never been shy to toot my own horn (which is not an euphemism for something naughty, it really isn't. Really. Not this time, anyway.) so if you want, there's a picture of me on my blog in the Flickr lineup... I'm the one with the snake near the bottom. I could win for Miss Pet-Enhanced, I betcha." If anything, she could do well just for showing us her rack. Oh, yeah...The snake is real.

Okay, that's it for now. Remember, email your entries to samjohnson@gmail.com and you could see your person here. I'll have these photos on Flickr soon and next week, we vote. Thanks everybody!

Where's Babs? Moos? Heidi? C'mon, y'all...Get those nominations in there!

I got this in the mail from Damon Owens. "I've got your winner, right here! Its Miss Gina Barge, blogger extraordinaire. At her blog, Gina's RantSpot , she provides commentary and observations that are both insightful and amusing. Her reflections of life experiences make her blog must-reading for me -- and, oh yeah, she's a hottie too! I humbly submit her for the coveted Miss RSJS title." That's good enough for me.

Here's Erica of Swirlspice. She loves sangria, the WNBA and just tried out for The Amazing Race. Good luck!

Lisa sent in this comment. "I nominate Robin... (she's going to kill me =)"
Robin from A.K.A. Binsk. Very mischivous look here. Well to be fair for Robin...

Here's Lisa. This way Lisa, if Robin gets mad at you for this, you can say you're in it, too. By the way, do you know THE MONKEY?

That's it for now. I gotta say, this is fun. Somebody's gotta get this on Fark or something. Sometime later today, I'm gonna put together the Flickr post so you can see all the lovely lady bloggers. And soon, you will have a change to vote. So, get those nominees in soon! David and I have a lot of work ahead of us....
