I have now posted pictures of 445 different women, counting the two unidentified models I have featured (who are most likely not Laurel Lee or Sara Kapp). At this time, before I go on to another A-Z round of women I haven't featured yet, I have to revisit the rules I have established for myself to explain who gets featured on this blog and who does not.
Although Blogger.com has added a feature allowing separate pages for its blogs, this feature somehow failed to materialize on this one, and I don't know how to add it. Until I figure it out, I have to refresh the rules here periodically, rather than post the rules on a separate page, as I would prefer to do. So here we go:
First of all, famous women (and some that aren't so famous) from any field are considered, including politicians. Because it's only right to acknowledge the beauty of women who are not entertainers and fashion models. That's why I have featured now former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington state, and physician Lisa Masterson.
Second, only living women are considered for this blog. I don't feel comfortable posting pictures of deceased actresses like Marilyn Monroe or Ava Gardner. As far as I know, all 445 women I have featured so far were alive at the time I featured them, though I've admittedly had to assume so in some cases. One of these women, fashion model Naomi Sims, has since died, so while entries featuring Naomi Sims that were posted here when she was alive remain on this blog, I have not added more pictures of her since her death in August 2009.
Third, I don't feature women I know personally - to avoid charges of undue favoritism - unless I haven't met them in person. This qualifier applies primarily to high-profile women I have met through and know via Facebook. It's one thing to be connected with such women through the Internet, but meeting them in person would and does change the dynamic of the friendship.
Fourth, while I regularly feature broadcast journalists, like CNBC's Julia Boorstin and MSNBC's Savannah Guthrie, I have two hard rules on this subject: No Fox News anchorwomen, and no anchorwomen or reporters from the local news programs of Fox broadcast affiliates. My distaste for Rupert Murdoch and his broadcasting empire - and especially his right-wing cable news channel - is too great for me to include any of these women, most of whom are journalists like I'm a jet pilot. So, if you've come here expecting pictures of Gretchen Carlson, you've come to the wrong place.
Also, there are some famous women I will never feature on this blog - or even name - for one simple reason: I just don't like them. I think you can figure out whom I don't like if you've followed my blog long enough.

So, after a brief rest on this stretch of the Internet superhighway, we'll be on our way to the next round of beautiful women. Can you dig it? :-)
