The Annoy Christopher Hanson Campaign

The exposition:

It began with a Baltimore Sun op-ed by Christopher Hanson [registration required; we recommend BugMeNot] which complained about bloggers in general and one blogger in particular:

Case in point: "The Dawn Patrol," Manhattanite Dawn Eden's preening report on Dawn Eden, iconoclastic neoconservative "petite powerhouse," illustrated with Dawn Eden glamour photos.

I yield to Dr Hanson's expertise on "preening," inasmuch as he is a Major Media Guy who is expected to do such as a matter of course, but otherwise this is so much ad hominem (ad feminam?) blather: what Dawn Eden looks like has no bearing on the quality of her reportage.

Just the same, I'm inclined to think a little glamour is good for us, even among those of us who would like to think of ourselves as iconoclasts, and bloggers of a similar bent who would like to engage in some modest mockery of Dr Hanson's mindset are invited to send their own "glamour photos" for inclusion herein.

The rules:

Post a suitable photo (nothing risqué please) as an entry on your blog and link it to this page.
Email the link to the pertinent post to me.
I will produce a thumbnail version for inclusion on this page, which will link back to your original post.

Time and tides being what they are, it may be 24 to 48 hours before I get to your entry.

For the convenience of linkers, my original blog post on the subject is here.
