With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Sweet the Dirt, Push the Dust‘s John Pappas asks this very question over at elephant journal.  He explains:

I was sitting at work sipping my tea and thinking about some of the recent blogs concerning women in Buddhism and sexual harassment in Yoga and thought that it was getting rather serious (which is a good thing) but I wanted to take it someplace funny for a moment.  Then, it popped into my head

“If all the male Buddhist Bloggers were in a beauty pageant who would win?”

And so, John put a pageant together.

In what is surely one of the biggest ego boosts of my blogging life, I find myself included among such illustrious nominees as John himself, elephant‘s wonderful editor-in-chief Waylon Lewis, our buddy Vince Horn at Buddhist Geeks and Numinous Nosense, our friend and editor Rod Meade Sperry at The Worst Horse at Shambhala Sun Space, Kyle Lovett at The Reformed Buddhist, Nate DiMontigny at Precious Metal, Ethan Nichtern at The Interdependance Project and One City Blog, and Rohan Gunatillake at 21Awake and Hear&Now Project.

The poll is now open and you can vote right here.  (I refuse to divulge my vote, except to say that he works for Shambhala Sun and blogs about Buddhism and popular culture uses the internet.)
