So there you have it. How did you do?

We were shocked by the number of you who tried to pass yourselves off as American when clearly you’re British. And those who tried any number of tricks in order to illicitly enter the competition.

Englishman Ginro for example, wrote, “I'm not American but my brother is American by marriage so I will be his stand in.”

And now… drum roll please…

THE WINNER OF THE “GUESS THE BRITS” COMPETITION IS:

LEAH in Brooklyn, NY!

CONGRATULATIONS, LEAH! You scored 7/10 correct answers. The only photos that stumped you were numbers 5, 7 and 9.


Thanks to all you Americans who participated in the Guess the Brits Competition.

See you back here on Tuesday for another exciting contest!

Guess the Brits Competition

Welcome to the first of three exciting new contests here this week on Infomaniac!

Today is our “GUESS THE BRITS” Competition.



Note: AMERICANS ONLY MAY ENTER THIS CONTEST

There will be contests for everyone else (except Canadians) later this week but today only Americans may enter the competition.

THE RULES:

1. Guess the names of the 10 people pictured below. The “personalities” in the photos are from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.

2. Email your answers to us. Our email address is in our Blogger Profile.
The comments are closed as we want to avoid people guessing out loud in the comments section and giving away the answers.

3. Sit back and wait until Monday, July 27th when the photos will be identified and a winner will be chosen. Comments will be open again for Monday’s post.

Note that some of the photos have 2 people pictured together. This is because the pair either work together as a team or are closely connected personally. It’s okay if you can only guess the name of one or the other.

Are you ready? Let’s get started.

#1



#2



#3



#4



#5



#6



#7



#8


#9



#10


Guess as many as you can and email your answers to us on Saturday or Sunday.

The people featured here are all alive (at the time of this posting) and are all popular personalities in the United Kingdom and Ireland.


Reminder: AMERICANS ONLY MAY ENTER TODAY’S CONTEST

We are limiting those who enter the contest to Americans only because most of our readers are either from the USA or the UK. We’d like to see how they do when pitted against each other.

We want to see how many of these people you Americans recognize.

How much does one country really know about the other?

And yes, we realize that the term “Brits” doesn’t accurately describe everyone in the UK but we’re using that word to simplify matters. Our apologies to any Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish who have their snouts out of joint.

Good luck, bitches!

Filthy Friday – Happy Birthday, Jason!

When we were updating our birthday list back in May, Jason had this request regarding his birthday …

No need for cake...thank you....just let me lick the beaters.

As you wish, Jason. But you’re going to get icing all over your face …






Reminder to our American Bitches: Come back on Saturday and /or Sunday when the first of our three competitions begins!

Upcoming Competitions

BRITS and IRISH ONLY may play on Tuesday, July 28nd and Wednesday, July 29th. The winner of this contest will be announced on Thursday, July 30th.
Update: I’m using the term “Brits” roughly (though not accurately) to include everyone from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

EVERYONE (except Canadians) may play on Friday, July 31st. The winner will be announced on Saturday, August 1st.

Tomorrow, look for our regularly scheduled Filthy Friday.

Then be sure to come back on Saturday, July 25th when the first of our THREE COMPETITIONS begins!

Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service

Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service wants to know how much you would bid for a great piece of ass like this? …




Haven’t seen enough? Here’s a taste of what’s in store if you place your bid today …


Nice manicure


Oh alright then, if you insist, we’ll put a face to the merchandise …


Ahoy, bitches!





Right, right, right…you want to know a little more about him. Let’s take a look at his Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service "dating profile" then, shall we?

“I enjoy the same inane things everybody lists in a profile, Romantic dinners, long walks on the beach, S&M, Leather, Fetters, Latex, PNP, Bondage, Role Play, Nasty Pig, Handballing, Hum Jobs, Tea bagging, etc...”

Wondering where you’ve read those words previously and seen that spectacular arse before?



It’s Mean Dirty Pirate (aka Ayem8y)!




Yes, Mean Dirty Pirate can be all yours if the price is right!




Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service wants to know how much you’ll pay for this fabulous manwhore.

How badly do you want it? …




He’s been around the block so many times we’ve had to set the odometer back.

But who cares about the mileage with a chassis like that?

How much will you give us for Mean Dirty Pirate? Cash is preferred. However, we’ll accept any item of value in your possession, including your own unique personal services, in exchange for this fine hunk of manliness.

Let the bidding wars begin!


The lines are open, bitches!


Note: Bidding is open all day Tuesday AND Wednesday.

Monday Morning

The morning after the night before …



Following yesterday’s Disco Party, comments from Mistress MJ may be few and far between today.

Would someone please see to the tidying up?

There’s a rather suspicious stain where Eddie Waring and Old Knudsen were acting out their role as a pantomime horse.

And Mr. Frobisher’s lace panties and Beast’s Lurex purple posing pouch are hanging from the chandelier ...



Does anyone have a pair of tongs attached to a ten-foot pole?

See you when I see you, bitches.

Disco Party

It’s party time on Infomaniac!



After a nine month’s absence, our Eddie Waring of Leatherette Beanbag has returned to blogging!

And that lazy sod Mr. Frobisher is back too after five month’s without a post.

We here at Infomaniac think that’s as good an excuse as any to throw a disco party.

As you can see, the guests have already started arriving …





In fact, it looks like the party’s well underway in some corners! …




Be sure to dress appropriately (or inappropriately!) …




Yes, it’s okay to bring a friend …




You’re all a buncha Super Freaks so get down and Boogie Oogie Oogie!

The Town Tramp

We know this is the life story of at least one of you!

Filthy Friday – Leather and Pearls Edition

Thanks to naughty boy TJB at Stirred, Straight Up, With a Twist, for this week’s Filthy Friday photo …



While we have your attention, we wish to point out that TJB’s blog does not reflect this type of filth at all. Rather, his blog celebrates the gods and goddesses of celluloid and vinyl.

It’s simply that TJB saw this photo (we wonder just where he does his surfing) and he thought of Infomaniac. We are touched that we evoke thoughts of pearl-encrusted leather daddies in our readers.

So if you’re looking for a touch of glamour and a dash of style, visit Stirred, Straight Up, With a Twist and say hello to TJB.

Tell him Mistress MJ sent you!

Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service

After yesterday’s “Your Romantic History” post, we realize that many of you are suffering from lonely hearts and could benefit once again from Infomaniac’s Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service.


Photo [via]

The staff of Fag, Hag and the Odd Slag Dating Service (pictured above) is manning the phone lines, ready to match up clients with you, Infomaniac’s readers.

Just jot down a few “dating profile” points about yourself in the comments box …

Your interests, sexual preference, what you want in a mate, etc.

If you’re one of the chosen few, we’ll profile you here on Infomaniac and try to match you up with one of our many clients who are gagging for a shag, er, um, I mean who are looking for love.

Our dating service is also open to those who are already in relationships but are looking for “a bit on the side.”

Discretion assured!



So don’t just sit there. Call today!

Your Romantic History

Think back on your past romances …



We know you’ve all been around the block a time or two.

Of course some of you have more mileage on you than others.


We here at Infomaniac would like you to summarize your romantic history in the comments section.

Go on. Spill it.

Fashion Intervention

Surely we can’t find fault with one of the handsomest men in Blogsville.

But yes, we’re pointing the finger at our friend Donn …




Oh sure, he looks fine in the photo above (and obviously he knows how to accessorize!) but have you seen this? …




IT’S TIME FOR A FASHION INTERVENTION!

It’s our duty to pull Donn aside and critique the contents of his closet.

Go ahead. Tell Donn what he needs to do to improve his image before he’s captured by the “What Not To Wear” brigade.

If you’re so style-impaired that you can’t see the most obvious fashion crime Donn’s committed, we refer you to this post for a clue.

Not Today

Mistress MJ is overwhelmed with the workload that faces her after weeks away on holiday.



She is not accepting an audience today but will be happy to receive you on Tuesday.

Perhaps you would like to assist the Houseboys with the unpacking in the meantime?

Reading Your Blogs

Now that Mistress MJ is back from holidays, it’s time to catch up on reading your blogs.



We can’t possibly visit all your blogs as there is unpacking to do, ordering the Houseboys about, restocking the liquor cabinet, etc.

So tell us why we should pop ‘round and visit your blog today.

What have we been missing?

Flying Home

We’re flying home today via Infomaniac Airlines.




Wish us luck getting through airport security ...





See you on Sunday!

Filthy Friday – Poolside Edition

Yes, we are still on holidays.

But due to popular demand, Infomaniac presents Filthy Friday: The Poolside Edition…

Kudos to Eroswings

We are still on vacation.

While you’re awaiting our return, we would like to extend our thanks to Eroswings …


Eroswings Does Greece
(click for maximum shirtlessness)

Eros, of his own free will, took the time to respond to all your comments in Mistress MJ’s absence.

See for yourself if you haven’t already read his responses to you. Just scroll way down this page to his extensive and witty comments.

This is not the first time Eros has come through for Mistress MJ while she was away and we think that deserves credit.

Eros needs an official title that represents his status as assistant scribe here at Infomaniac.

Suggestions?


Note: This post is really just a flimsy excuse to post shirtless pics of Eroswings. Here’s another shot we like!…


Eros the Naked Cowboy

Hotel Hijinks

As you can see, this hotel room isn’t big enough for Mistress MJ and a dozen houseboys …


Hello? Get me Housekeeping. Send up some extra cots, pronto.


An hour later, our hotel room crowding situation was rectified with the addition of a few extra beds.

However, the houseboys’ hijinks are disrupting our beauty sleep…




Mistress MJ’s nerves are beginning to unravel.

She may have to cut her vacation short.
