Mon, 13 May 2013 00:11:07 -0400

Whoopsie! I’m behind on my own deadline. I have not been around my computer/the internet much in the last week so please wait til Tuesday and I will—forreal—post the story. For now, here’s a preview of what’s to come.

A narrow win for Thurston! For awhile Harrison was in the lead, but you Thurston fans rallied.

Another narrow win! Although I guessed this would happen. Mayan ruins sound cool!

Commitment, but not TOO much commitment. I like it.

Well, obviously.

… You are all stereotypes.

Gabriel looked deep into my eyes. “You’ve always wanted to get a lab, right?” he asked.

Yeah he is. I mean… ahem, the clothing. The clothing is....

Yeah he is. I mean… ahem, the clothing. The clothing is. Yep.

By the way, the Vote Your Own LL Bean Boyfriend Adventure survey is now closed! I will post the story created out of all the weird things over 500 of you guys voted for on Friday!

I love your blog. I'm teaching in Morocco this year and these hunks are my nostalgia fix for Maine (woo liberal arts!). Two things to share with you: 1) Up in a tiny mountain town, in the bustling spice-filled marketplace, friends and I found ...a vendor exclusively selling ugly reindeer sweaters and flannels? 2) For january, I was lucky enough to be able to import my very own LLBBF from home. With him, he brought some dried fall leaves, a jug of vermont maple syrup, and flannels. What a man.

“Let’s get the canoe out and take a picnic to the island,” Peter said.

I don't know if there are any official foreign versions of LL Bean boyfriends, but my friend is dating one in the Austrian countryside. Your followers traveling abroad should keep a lookout.

LL Bean Boyfriends seem to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Life is so unfair! The search continues for so many of us.

Remember to vote!

Thu, 02 May 2013 17:01:37 -0400

There are 6 more days before I close the very special VOTE Your Own LL Bean Boyfriend Adventure (II) survey!

We did this back in January when YLLBBF hit 10,000 followers, and you all voted on elements of a longer LLBBF story. So now that you all have gazed upon all this flannel and hunkiness over a million times, we’re doing it again!

So… what are you waiting for? Vote!

Granted I only figured out how to install Google Analytics about 2 weeks after this site went nuts, but you crazy-loyal crazy people have read this a lot.

So, to commemorate this special moment, I am going to do ANOTHER very special VOTE Your Own LL Bean Boyfriend Adventure (remember when we did this before? The results were fun).

This is how it works! For the next two weeks you all get to vote on elements of the story, from the Boyfriend to critical plot points. When the 2 weeks is up, the survey closes, and you’ll get to read the story you voted for three days later.

GET VOTING!

Thurston breathed in deeply. “I love the smell of mulch,” he grinned.

Out of all the colleges I've been accepted to, I'm really tempted to pick Bowdoin mostly for the higher chance of finding an L.L. Bean Boyfriend. I think my life priorities are in order.

Somewhere in Brunswick, Maine… someone at Bowdoin is trying to think about how they can work this into the tour…

Keep looking! I’m sure you’ll find one in the state of Live Free or Die Hard. Wait… something about that is not right… but anyway, it’s a hardcore state so I’m sure you’ll find a hardcore hottie somewhere.

“I was looking at the cabinets this morning and just got the urge to redo them,” John said as we ate breakfast. “I think I could design something a lot better for the kitchen, and it’s been a few months since I had a big project for the house. What do you think?”

Hi! I worked for LLBean Signature for 3+ years at their home office in Maine, just recently moved to Philly for a new job opportunity.
