Yesterday I asked you if I should try out for VH1's new hip-hop dating show, and a whopping 89.6% of you voted "yes." So this morning I mailed off my application e-mail—with "recent photo"—to (what I'm assuming are the) good people at VH1 (and not spam harvesters dangling the promise of dinner at Olive Garden with Tigra and Bunny over my head):

Name: Jess Harvell
Age: 29
Profession: Senior Editor, Idolator.com
Email Address: jessATidolatorDOTcom
Phone Number: [REDACTED FOR FEAR OF INTER-WEIRDOS]
A few sentences about yourself and the kinds of women you are interested in meeting: Well, I'm a professional music writer/editor/blogger currently living in New Jersey who is creeping up on 30 in just a handful of months, a single fellow with many unhealthy vices, crushing debt, and not even a working bicycle at the moment, wracked by an inescapable feeling that the bleak economic and environmental future of our beleaguered planet should preclude raising a family, and with a long history of...complicated relationships with unavailable women.
So basically I'm trying to get some on national TV.
Now, this little adventure could end the minute they see the application. Or it could end in a few months of being a gigolo true love. I have the phone perched by the computer for the call back. Stay tuned.

I'm upset! You totally should have sent in a photo of yourself wearing a v-neck sweater and cuddling a golden retriever.
