I missed my bus. My right ovary is aching.And I'm a 3.
→[More:]
I posted a new version of my pic (which I didn't realize would erase the super hawt scores that MeCha bunnies graciously gave me) and apparently, bald chicks are Not Hot.
Speck,
The kind of people who vote on Hot or Not (in earnest, wielding aesthetics, or out of meanness) are the kind of people who would freak out if a woman had no hair, they like em plain (mall-y, blue eyeshadow and stretch pants), lacking in self esteem and low cut. You are a lovely person. Personally I would take a low rating on hot or not as a mark of distinction, good (unique, inner to outer) attractiveness and smile.
I can't do anything about the bus or the lady business, but buy yourself a good book, that helps usually.
I saw your numbers slipping last night and I have a conspiracy theory about it, namely, that there are mean people who lurk here who are purposely dropping your numbers to be funny evil. Because, babe, you are HOT and that is that, and ain't nothin' anyone in this world can do about it. They're just jealous. Try a heating pad for the ovary.
Lesse, 1, 2, 3, 4...
Eleven.
See...
Eleven.
That's ridiculous.
Eleven.
That's not even funny. See... There's two things you don't...
Eleven.
...talk about, and that's politics and religion.
Eleven.
How many time zones there are?

I'm distinctive, that's it! Those generic Hot or Not pansies don't deserve my time. I kinda figured this would happen, actually, so I'm not really peeved. And I've gotten over the bus thing.
The ovary still hurts, though. Volunteers for tummy rubs? gaspode needs one too.
I'm sure you're a lovely woman, Specklet. Would you help me understand why you would put your pic on a site like that in the first place? Was it a dare?.. a joke? You're special-er than that sort of garbage; I can tell by your intelligent posts. :(
I don't know, maybe try a smile. Hot or Not's not really a good site to post cool photos like the one you put up (which is a really cool shot and I like it alot).
The HoN folks want cleavage, a smile and long flowing blond hair combined with a shallow bio. Two of those three and you're in the mid to high 8's easy.
I kept playing around with photos I'd post. One beefcake shot of me fresh out of the shower scored very, very well (woops, just checked and its still there and still scoring well and no, not linking it here). But, strangely, the ones where I've got my glasses on and look smart scored badly.
Don't take it too badly, post that photo up on Flickr and you'll get rave reviews.
Everybody's right. The people on that site are really voting on a conformity and how many hotness cues are in the pic (long bleached hair, big gozongas, etc.)
I gave you a 10. I would have given you a 12 but:
1. The site didn't go up that high.
2. I'm jealous that you can rock a bald head that shows off your beautiful face. (I'd look like Bunsen Honeydew without hair.)
I totally denied my cookie so I could vote 10 over and over. It also meant I could vote 1 to the guy that came after, in a photo of what looked like a 16-year-old swilling vodka from the bottle. Woo!
I, too, amm jealous of women who can pull off the baldness.
I'm feeling ever so much better. My mittleschmerz has subsided, and I don't give a flying donut what the rubes over at HorN think.
Thanks for the tens, though! (I'm up to a 4.2, mostly fives.)
Plus, my double matchy thingies have result in super cutie guys! I don't want to meet them, really, though. I just want to collect them like so many pretty pebbles.
Oh, and cause I know you love free music (and because I can totally picture you as one of the tough chicks singing this song) here's one of my all-time favorites.
Oh, now it works, just in time to make me look incompetent and whiney.
Thanks, I love that song! And I'm flattered that you think I'm kick-ass enough to pull it off. Oooh, did I tell you I sang Knock On Wood in front of 2,000 people last weekend? Raaah!
The Eddie Floyd version or the (shudder) disco version? And Hell's yeah, I can see you as a badass gang moll chick like the Shangi-La's (and those genuine Noo Yawk accents of theirs definitely help make that record).
Sadly, I don't have an mp3 of it, only a tape. But the song I just linked is even better, trust me. But you could prolly p2p the Eddie Floyd one pretty easy.
