Sex Submit Your Sexy Photos

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 1:38 PM

Two of the entries so far in our search for Seattle's sexiest people:

Submit your own photography for a chance to get published in the print edition of The Stranger. Instructions:

You’ve been basking in their sexy glory all year: the librarian with the dorky grin and killer rack. The sleepy-eyed barista with the tattooed knuckles and erotic sulk. The UPS delivery man whose voice makes your perineum tingle. Now it’s time to pay tribute to all the sexy creatures who make life in Seattle so pleasurable—via Seattle’s Sexiest 2010!

Every year, the citizens of our fair city nominate candidates for Seattle’s sexiest baker, DJ, bartender, museum guard, small-business owner, burlesque dancer, Value Village employee, etc. etc. ETC. Here’s how YOU can be part of the all-important sexiest-nomination process!

First: Take a few pictures of your sexy, sexy subject (with their permission).

Second: Go to www.flickr.com/groups/strangerphotos and upload your photos into our warm, inviting Stranger photo pool. All you have to do is tag the photos “seattlesexy.” We’ll get in touch with you about getting in touch with them.

The uploading deadline is Tuesday, February 2. Then a crack team of Strangers will subject the photos to a rigorous and proprietary sexiness-quotient test, determining the hottest. In our annual blowout Valentine’s Day issue on February 11, the winning photos will be published.

Upload your work to The Stranger's flickr pool HERE.

I will once again register my annual disgust with this event.

Did she take a picture of herself? Lame.

@5 Not for this. That's just the one I submitted.

Blondie is making "sexy lips".

And I hate this every year too.

Fuck Christopher Frizzelle and his irrelevance.

Ah, The Stranger's annual interpeation of "sexy". Excuse me while I puke my guts out.

There's an incredibly hot barista hidden way up in Loyal Heights. She works Fiore on Saturday mornings, at the least. She's unfortunately a bit arrogant (or maybe just picks up on my, um, "appreciation" of her) and unapproachable, even for this contest. Just a heads up for anyone in Ballard looking for an entrant.

How come I don't see the tag "seattlesexy" in your Flickr pool?

I'm not sure why people are so revolted by this. I'm fascinated by what other people consider sexy, even if it isn't what I'd choose myself. And I've never seen anyone in any of these pictures who I thought was unattractive. What is it that bothers people so much?

ratio of self-portraits to spontaneous-nominations?

@12- Basically because there's voting and a winner. If it was the Strangers annual sexy photo collection I wouldn't give a fuck, but instead it's a competition to see who has the most of something which is completely subjective (so it's a broken game). And of course, the pursuit of sexiness fucking destroys some people, and I hate to see The Stranger encouraging the worst aspects of human nature.

It looks like this comment thread needs a drink.

We could just have The Stranger sponser the Miss America pagent as well.

Posted by Cato the Younger Younger on January 19, 2010 at 3:09 PM

I nominate myself every year. But I'm the only one who ever finds me sexy. Probably because I'm so old and portly. But I'm OK with that. Mostly.

I can't imagine what makes working a service job better than having your picture on the Internet so others can vote on your sexiness.

Posted by mint chocolate chip on January 19, 2010 at 3:23 PM

are you letting stranger readers cast their votes? would you consider just letting readers see the nominees and appreciated the beauty/oddity of it all are you hell-bent on a contest and a winner? i mean wiener.
