The IMAO T-Shirt Babe Competition Winner
Posted by Frank J. at 07:15 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (56)

Well, this came down to the wire. As I said before, the third place winner is only two points behind first place. Thanks once again to the judges:

Doug the T-shirt Guy
Emperor Darth Misha I
Harvey
Bill Whittle
Blackfive
John Hawkins
Glenn Reynolds
No One of Consequence
Me, Frank J.

The judges each chose their five favorites and ranked them. A contestant received five points for being number one on a judges list, four points for second, three points for third, two points for fourth, and one point for fifth. Each of the judges’ choices will remain secret unless they choose to reveal them (I'm keeping mine secret since there were so many contestants who would have made a great winner and I don't want to admit I didn't vote for them). I'm only going to announce the top five, but any other candidate can e-mail if she wants to know her final ranking.

Anyway, onto the winners...

In fifth and fourth place are the two lovely girls from the liberal Mecca of Berkeley who write for the conservative paper the California Patriot (Carissa's latest; Reva's latest). Having 13 points and the distinction of being on more judges’ top five lists than any other is Carissa, a.k.a BerkeleyGirl. Beating her for fourth by three points is Reva, a.k.a. BerkeleyChick.

Second runner with 18 points is the beautiful blogress Serenity of Serenity's Journal. I've known her in the blogosphere for a while now, but she never said how cute she is. I feel like I've been lied to.

First runner up with 19 points is the fetching and intelligent Willow of The Whomping Willow. As one reader put it, "Hello Nurse!"

And finally, with 20 points, the IMAO T-Shirt Babe is...

SarahK of Mountaineer's Musings. Beautiful, deadly with a gun, and fellow Alias fan (I'm watching that as I write this), she has been chosen as the contestant who best personifies the values of the IMAO T-Shirt Babe (whatever the hell those are). She will receive all the IMAO t-shirts and one hundred dollars cash plus a hundred dollar shopping spree at ThoseShirts.com.

First and second runner-ups will get an IMAO t-shirt of their choice and are encouraged to send in photos modeling the shirts to show the judges what fools they are. I will also send one shirt each to the Berkeley's girls on the condition they'll have a photo of them together each wearing them. We had a lot of other great competitors, and I'm going to send them all a little something as thanks for competing. In the end, only one could win, though, and let's all congratulate SarahK as we sing:

There she is, the IMAO T-Shirt Babe
There she is, your ideal
The dreams of a million girls
Who are more than pretty
May come true if they punch a hippy
Oh she may turn out to be
The queen of femininity
There she is, the IMAO T-Shirt Babe
There she is, your ideal
With so much ammo
She'll take the town by storm
With her all-American face and form
And there she is
Firing in the air she is
Fairest of the fair she is
The IMAO T-Shirt Babe

Rating: 1.5/5 (11 votes cast)

I've been here all night clicking the refresh button. Yay, now sarahk can buy a shift key. Congrats sarahk!

#1 - Posted by: Kingslasher on May 3, 2004 07:21 AM

Never could resist a hot blonde pointing a gun!

#2 - Posted by: El Jefe on May 3, 2004 07:30 AM

(here's a preview of the shift key that i can buy with the winnings...)

Wow, I scared the cats again when I shrieked! I can't believe it! Thank you Frank J and the other 8 judges, I am honored and hope to do you proud as the IMAO T-Shirt Babe! And thanks for the song, I'll be singing it all week!

To the other babes, it was fun and such stiff competition! We rock!

Kingslasher, I've only been here since 5:30 refreshing, and thank you!

#3 - Posted by: sarahk on May 3, 2004 07:40 AM

congrats sarahk. i knew that's how it had to turn out.

#4 - Posted by: Jeffrey Collins on May 3, 2004 08:11 AM

I think I would have voted for Serenity; she's got kid of a goth look in that picture and she's kind of hot.

Still, SarahK has a gun, so I don't want to deny her the crown.

#5 - Posted by: The Vigilante on May 3, 2004 08:16 AM

Congrats to SarahK!

#6 - Posted by: rockynoggin on May 3, 2004 08:38 AM

Congrats Sarah! And to all the Teeshirt Babe contestents....

Are you single?
Make your way to Indiana much?

Where was I? I forget. Oh well.

Congrats ladies!

#7 - Posted by: Evil Midnight Poster what Posts at Midnight on May 3, 2004 08:41 AM

poo poo.

Congratulations SarahK! I knew you were gonna kick our butts!!

Now I'm going back to bed, it's still too early to be up here in Arizona.

#8 - Posted by: jonag on May 3, 2004 08:51 AM

--Congrats, Miss Sarah... richly deserved.

--My condolences to Berkeley... I still want to move there, though... seriously!!

#9 - Posted by: Devil Dog on May 3, 2004 08:59 AM

SarahK is indeed a worthy winner, but I thought CCinCali should have done better. Hey CC, you like authors?

#10 - Posted by: Lars Walker on May 3, 2004 09:07 AM

You all will pay for not chosing Miranda! You will pay DEARLY! Your puny firearms will not protect you from the coming wrath! WAHAHAHAHA! (Congrats SarahK!)

#11 - Posted by: Beo on May 3, 2004 09:27 AM

Congrats Sarah. Long may you reign over the land of IMAO t-shirts.

Sarah,

I knew you'd win - congrats =^]

#13 - Posted by: Dan on May 3, 2004 09:47 AM

wow, thanks, all! i just got back home, i'll have a speech soon... :D

#14 - Posted by: sarahk on May 3, 2004 09:53 AM

Is it just me, or does that gun look like it's pointing down a bit... like toward the cameraman's family jewels?

#15 - Posted by: Wacky Hermit on May 3, 2004 09:56 AM

Congrats to Sarah. With so many great entries, it would be difficult to settle on one. With that being said, I think the judges did a great job and Sarah is probably the best personification of IMAO.

I just think it is a shame that Miranda, Megan, Nony Mouse, Reva and Carissa all couldn't be in the top 5. But that would make 6, huh? Sigh....

(Reva and Carissa make me wish I was single and in Berkely..... rrrrraahhhhhrrrrr.... and my wife says she can't blame me). Once again congrats. And I am sooooo looking forward to seeing Reva and Carissa's photo together in IMAO t'shirts. Please...?

#16 - Posted by: unkleremis on May 3, 2004 10:06 AM

I guess those top5 performers are okay. But I don't know how anyone could pass up the breathtaking beauty of Megan. She's a winner in my book. (Even though I don't actually have a "book".)

#17 - Posted by: Salieri on May 3, 2004 10:50 AM

Bravo, SarahK! Good job. And to everyone else, too. Great essays, all.

#18 - Posted by: Lydia on May 3, 2004 11:02 AM

Frank,

Has the USO called yet to book the top five on a Bob Hope-like tour to Iraq to show the boys over there our unending support?

#19 - Posted by: El Jefe on May 3, 2004 11:05 AM

Maybe I am insane...a definite possibility...but I think this version of Carissa's photo would have locked in her victory:

#20 - Posted by: libbo on May 3, 2004 11:21 AM

A very warm congratulations SarahK... I didnt see the name @ in the top 5, so I immediately knew you were the winner. The combination of the gun and those eyes makes it undeniable. I still feel for Carissa though (Visit Texas much?).

#21 - Posted by: dviant on May 3, 2004 11:38 AM

Congrats

#22 - Posted by: The Sicilian on May 3, 2004 11:41 AM

Congrats to all the winners!
Hey! What's up with all the "fuck you all" emails in my in box this morning??

#23 - Posted by: CCinCali on May 3, 2004 11:42 AM

Thank You, Lars! Very sweet...and yes, I love Authors..

#24 - Posted by: CCinCali on May 3, 2004 11:43 AM

Congratulations to SarahK, and thank you to all of the lovely ladies in the contest. If any of you happen to be in the Lexington, KY area...oh forget it.

#25 - Posted by: Turkeyhead on May 3, 2004 12:05 PM

Congratulations Sarah K. That really was a damn hot photo....you deserve it.

Can I borrow a hundred bucks?

#26 - Posted by: Serenity on May 3, 2004 12:14 PM

Congratulations, Sarahk! You'll make a grate face for IMAO :)

#27 - Posted by: Miranda on May 3, 2004 12:15 PM

Yes, Sarak, congrats! Enjoy your new-found fame as the face of IMAO!

#28 - Posted by: willow on May 3, 2004 12:32 PM

Wow, I can't believe I did so well with this competition! Thanks guys =) Congratulations SarahK, your picture was indeed super awesome. And Frank, BerkeleyGirl and I would love to take our picture together wearing your shirts ;-)

#29 - Posted by: BerkeleyChick on May 3, 2004 12:33 PM

congrats, SarahK!

beca

#30 - Posted by: Miss Beca on May 3, 2004 12:44 PM

thanks everyone, y'all are awesome! um, serenity, i'm kinda unemployed, so i really need it, otherwise, i'd -- oh, who am i kidding? i'd buy shoes. ;)

wacky hermit, i don't think my little sis has family jewels, but i was sitting on a truck so i did have to aim down a little to point at the camera.

i hope to do you all proud as the Babe. i like El Jefe's idea, i'd go.

#31 - Posted by: sarahk on May 3, 2004 12:50 PM

Berkeley Chick:

And Frank, BerkeleyGirl and I would love to take our picture together wearing your shirts ;-)

Pants, woman! Pants! Include leggings in the photo or the droolers honking at your door will be working a clock 24!

/I wanted the Haufbrau wenchette.

#32 - Posted by: TC-LeatherPenguin on May 3, 2004 01:27 PM

Yep. I kinda figured you were gonna take it SarahK -- congrats. I also figured (wrongly, as it turns out), that Miss Beca was going to place... I mean first she cracked me up, and then I wanted to buy the t-shirt she had on, and who would blame me?

#33 - Posted by: Nony Mouse on May 3, 2004 01:47 PM

Bravo zulu to all the entrants (look it up, I'm not explaining it). It's trite to say it, but you'll all winners.

Being a crusty old poop myself and far too self aware, I know better than to sigh wistfully and fantasize about my chances with any of these excellent women. But still, I can think about every one of them and reflect on why the Islamofascists are doomed. You go, girls!

#34 - Posted by: Steve Skubinna on May 3, 2004 02:53 PM

Kudos to sarahk!

#35 - Posted by: A Recovering Liberal on May 3, 2004 02:56 PM

Congrats sarahk!! You're such a beatiful señorita!! loved the gun too!

#36 - Posted by: The Flying Burrito on May 3, 2004 02:56 PM

Gotta love a babe who can handle her hardware! Way to go sarahk!

#37 - Posted by: Nick on May 3, 2004 03:17 PM

*Laugh* Beo's already secured my vote when we get to vote on male IMAO face!

#38 - Posted by: Miranda on May 3, 2004 03:28 PM

I think Frank's pretty comfortable using his own face as the male IMAO face though...

#39 - Posted by: Mollbot on May 3, 2004 04:33 PM

Congratulations to Sarah K! I can believe the voting was close. If everyone had used guns or other such implements of peace, it might have ended in a deadlock!

NICE photoshop of Carissa, libbo! :D

#40 - Posted by: krakatao on May 3, 2004 04:35 PM

Congrats SandraK!! A gun totin` conservative gal after my own cold hard heart.
All the babes looked great, but I must admit that I`ve got a soft spot for Berkely Girl.
She looks almost exactly like a girlfriend I had in Indiana, before I moved to Florida.

#41 - Posted by: joatmoaf on May 3, 2004 05:30 PM

She looks just like Tulip from the "Preacher" series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.

Which is high, high praise indeed.

She's the one I would have voted for. I'm glad to see I still apparently have some taste!

#42 - Posted by: Brian Tiemann on May 3, 2004 07:01 PM

Miranda,
Molbot is right; what the hell are you thinking :)

#43 - Posted by: Frank J. on May 3, 2004 09:47 PM

That's right Frank, you don't want to go up against me! WAHAHAHAHA!

#44 - Posted by: Beo on May 3, 2004 11:59 PM

So is SarahK going to be packing heat in all of her T-shirt modeling photos? Anybody have an M4 carbine for her to pose with?

#45 - Posted by: Beo on May 4, 2004 12:04 AM

Sorry I am so late getting here. About 25 years ago, I would have sent a pic and given those girls a run for their money. And I would have worn the winnings with such pride. Alas, old age has taken away the tight t-shirt look for me. But... I still have my .357 and can still shoot 93% on the police course. Not soooo bad for an old lady.

Congrats to SarahK !!! Way to go, girl!!!

#46 - Posted by: She L on May 4, 2004 01:07 AM

[Wacky Hermit] Is it just me, or does that gun look like it's pointing
    down a bit... like toward the cameraman's family jewels?

[sarahk] i don't think my little sis has family jewels...

YIKES! People, please don't try this at home! Next time, instead of pointing the gun (no matter how well you've check that its unloaded) at the photographer, how about using a tripod and self-time like God intended? Getting the best photo in the world (and truly it is) is no reason to abandon safe gun handling.

#47 - Posted by: Kirk Parker on May 4, 2004 11:16 AM

Er...um...*looks guilty* I was thinking we need a different male face because...er...you need a decoy!

#48 - Posted by: Miranda on May 4, 2004 03:42 PM

You mean like how Batman had Robin?

#49 - Posted by: beo on May 4, 2004 04:03 PM

Exactly!

#50 - Posted by: Miranda on May 4, 2004 05:37 PM

Or how Bush has Scott!

#51 - Posted by: Miranda on May 4, 2004 05:38 PM

I lost the bet I had with my friend- there IS a girl who has read this blog.

#52 - Posted by: James Versluys on May 5, 2004 01:50 AM

Funny... SarahK looks just like a girl I went to college with...

#53 - Posted by: Al on May 5, 2004 09:52 AM

Gah, sorry this is so late, but I'e been sick and thus without computer access...
*sigh* Congrats, sarahk, I knew you'd win! But it was a fun competition for all, and the support from girls and guys alike definitely made entering worth it. :)
Keep an eye out for the photo(s) of Reva and I in NtM shirts, they'll be coming as soon as we get the goods! ;-)

#54 - Posted by: BerkeleyGirl on May 6, 2004 04:13 PM

eek, sorry you've been sick BerkeleyGirl, and sorrier that you've had no access (the horror)! and thanks.

hmm, Al, funny how you didn't remember that until after you sent her fan mail! :P

Kirk Parker, my sis was BEGGING me to point the gun at her (ok, not really).

thanks She L!

#55 - Posted by: sarahk on May 7, 2004 08:42 PM

Sarahk did it hurt ? Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven?
