Last week I ran a poll on my blog. It was for Australia's Sexiest Man. I ran it because I had a series of saucy dreams starring Rove McManus which was very very random. (I think he is hilarious but i have never thought of him in that way, and am blaming the nicotine patches) So I put together this little poll and promptly forgot about it, and got on with the mundane.

But as days passed, someone drew my attention to the fact that Hugh Jackman was not winning......

So I did a little digging around to find that the leader and eventual winner (with a whopping 43%), Joe Hildebrand, had quite the effect on the ladies. Thinking Blogger's Crumpet perhaps. He is far less scary than the other Joe H...

what do you mean when you say we are out of iced vo-vos!

A bit about Joe as stolen from his site....

Joe Hildebrand was born in Melbourne and extradited to Sydney in 2000. Despite this he considers Adelaide his spiritual home, having spent a pleasant weekend there in the mid-1990s.
He currently “works” at The Daily Telegraph, where he wrote a column for several years until it was removed on bad taste grounds. He is single for the same reason.
He has an abiding interest in cinema, notably the American action-adventure genre which is often overlooked by mainstream audiences. His favourite film is Independence Day, which until recently he believed to be a documentary.
He has a blog at http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/joehildebrand/ It has been described as having a strong cult following, which is to say very few people read it.
He also writes for The Punch in order to comply with the terms of his court order.


So I sent my intern SawHole to go and interview Australia's Sexiest Man, and she came back with a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and the following written on the back of the box.


1. How do you feel about winning the title of Australia's sexiest man?
Proud. Proud and sweaty.


2. How would you describe your personal style? Any style icons?
I call it "melted suede" and it's modelled after the guy on Ready, Steady, Cook.


3. You have admitted publicly that you like fat girls. Does this mean thin girls are out of the question?
I like all girls but it's an academic point. The problem is they don't like me back. Except for Lisa Bale during a brief period in Year 10.


4. What do you think of your runner-up, Hugh Jackman?
He has the perfect combination of rock-hard abs, good manners and a fine appreciation of iced tea.


5. Are there any embarrassing pics of you floating around in cyberspace? If so, would you like me to kneecap the owner and distributor of the pics?
Someone recently took a picture of me mucking around with my dog after a few beers but I don't think it went anywhere.


6. Who do you like best - Byron or Darrin?
Byron, but don't tell Darrin. He won't come out of his room for weeks.


7. Is it really Darrin with an 'i' or is it just your creative licence?
No, his parents really spelt it like that. They are from Sunbury.


8. Do you have any endorsement deals in the pipeline?
I've been getting a lot of calls from Bulgari but I don't want to cheapen my brand.


9. Has Max Markson been in contact?
Yes, but I told him he should get a better agent.


10.Boardies or smugglers?
Personally I prefer boardies, but you've got to give the people what they want.


11. Would you ever go on Dancing with the Stars?
You mean you missed Season 17?


12. Would you like a special commemorative Team Joe t-shirt to celebrate your win?
Does it come in aqua?


Yes, excellent questions SawHole and thanks so much Joe for taking time out to answer them. And for you at home, if you are single or have a sister who is single and want to go on a blind date with Blogging Royalty, email SawHole your details. saw.hole@gmail.com. She will set up a series of Survivor type challenges, then Joe will present a rose to the winner. And you will be treated to a buffet deluxe at Sizzler with Joe. SawHole also might go.
