So JM commented in Monday's blog about the hotness of the illustration girls in our new templates, and I'd have to agree. (You know, for illustrations.)

But even if I were an illo boy, I don't think they'd be into me. First, here's Illo Mike:



(Note the guns, illo ladies. Oh yeah.)

New York:



So I really like the t-shirt-and-mussed-hair style, but she's already kinda turning away from me, which is not a good sign.

Chicago:



This girl obviously knows how to dress, so she probably wants a more stylish guy. My shoes have holes on top, and not in an ironic way.

Mama:



She's probably taken, and if not, I'm sure she's aware that a writer-type is going to be eating most of the bacon he brings home.

Los Angeles:



She's probably on the phone talking to her movie-star boyfriend right now. Sigh.

San Francisco:



She's looking over here, which is promising, but I'm intimidated by girls with hair that nice.

Seattle:



Whoa, she's totally looking over here, but Seattle Editor Jen H told me her illo girl's into the hipster thing, and I'm way too earnest. (Come back this afternoon for Jen's take on Seattle girl.)

So now you've met all of our illo girls. I'm sure they're all great, even if they're not into Illo Mike. Maybe we can be illo friends.
