it's an honor just to be nominated

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the nominees for Official Date to Prom 2.0.

Apparently a clerical error led me to believe I had six nominees, when in fact I only had five. And still have five. Ten, it seems, was a pipe dream. Alas.

In keeping with the traditions of the blog, I've decided to keep things fairly anonymous, though some of the nominees you will have read about before. Voting is open now through Saturday, and you can vote in the same ways that you nominated -- in the comments, via the trusty @ on Twitter or privately in an e-mail.

Nominee No. 1
This nominee and I have danced in most every public place you could imagine, making her an outstanding choice for dance partner at Prom 2.0. Her decided lack of testosterone might be her greatest flaw in this competition, since my readers no doubt would like to read about me behaving like an idiot in front of someone with a Y Chromosome. She is, however, a ton of fun, and would no doubt aid and abet me in any other variety of ridiculous and/or embarrassing behavior.

Nominee No. 2
This nominee and I have also done quite a bit of dancing together, and in formal suits and dresses, no less. If he won your votes, he'd also win the title of longest distance traveled at Prom 2.0. There could even be a sash involved for such an honor. And this is the kind of man who could rock a sash and make it FAB-U-LOUS. Would also likely aid and abet inappropriate and mortifying behavior on my part, including but not limited to pre- and post-prom adventures on the town. (With booze.)

Nominee No. 3
This nominee has made a multitude of appearances on this blog over the past year, because he is, in fact, Mr. November. I think that's probably all the information you need.

Nominee No. 4
Though I have mentioned this nominee in passing somewhat recently on the blog, should he attend Prom 2.0 with me, he'd be making his first true appearance on Just A Girl. We went to high school together, but up until we ran into each other recently hadn't hung out or really talked in about 7 years. Judging by the word vomit that escaped my lips the last time I was around him, I can basically guarantee this would be a good time for your reading enjoyment post-Prom.

Nominee No. 5
This gentleman came in as a self-nomination from a reader, and is the oldest nominee of the group by quite a few years. He tells me that he can get along well with just about anyone, and he also promised to practice his Prom Smile, too.



Let the voting begin!


cheers,
