MANday 2012
What is MANday you ask?
Each Monday on her blog Jillian Dodd hosts hot guys showing off their abs.
Here are a few of them:
Samoan Ruby Player
Sonny Billy Williams
Actor
Chris Hemsworth
Soccer Player
David Beckham
(No way I'm posing like this!)
Jillian and I have a bet.
If 5,000 people comment on this page before the end of June,
I’ll get some shirtless photos done for MANday.
While I’m working out, she’s bribing you to comment with a $500 cash prize.
She’ll give away a $500 Amazon Gift Card if 5,000 people comment on this page before July 1.
The winner will be chosen on the day the post goes live.
I’ll be working out and posting my progress here on Fridays.
Good Luck!

I like the pictures. I don’t care if you lose 1 pound – just keep posting the pictures…. ; )
Pam – I agree – keep posting the pictures 😉
I’m just damn curious, CJ…… Just sayin’
Jillian posts THE best pecs … er, I mean … pics! Good for you for taking up the challenge, CJ!
I’m all for a shirtless CJ — let’s rock it. Go CJ!
I’ll bite I’ll also share.
Good luck!
Do it CJ!
curious….
CJ, I’m thinking you will be on here very very soon! Can’t wait!!!!
Hell, if I had $500 I’d pay YOU to see that you did do it!
LOL Terry!
I might be on a diet, but I can drool over the menu……………….
Good luck CJ. Don’t make me blush too much I might burst into flames between this and a hot flash 😉 lol
I love this comment. I can so relate. 😀
I think you have what it takes now CJ… you do not need to show skin, you have the art of words. Something many men fail at! In my opinion you have the total package…. If there is more to it then BONUS!!
I love your books and am an old married lady that being said I think your a handsome man.If you feel you need to change your body do it for you.My cousin’s son is working on a new country cd and he is.(His name is Tim Gore) I’m sure he feels the same way.The people who love you,and your fans want you to feel good about you! Thats what matters,how you feel about you.
Would LOVE to see what you have under your shirt!
Oh yes CJ do it!! Yum!!!
Go CJ!!!
Protein and sit ups! No problem!
Come on C.J. we wanna see!
Keep up the good work CJ.
In the immortal words of the Happy Gilmore crew:
YOU CAN DO IT! 😉
CJ – I am going to use you as encouragement to start working on my weight loss regimen.
Sharing post hope it hits 5000.
You are eye candy with or without a shirt, CJ. 😉
Go CJ! Rock those abs! You know you can do it! Show them that author doesn’t have to mean fluffy..lol. You have been working hard to be in shape so you should be able to get sculptured pretty easily!
Go for it….you’re not getting older….. 🙂
I’m betting on CJ to win!!!
you look good no matter what (smile)
CJ..Can’t wait to see your abs
let’s see those abs
CJ my friend….JUST DO IT!!!
This could be interesting…. 🙂
Not only do I have no doubt you can do it, but I’d pay to see you pose like ANY of those guys above….or shirtless or ??????…..actually, I’d pay to see you do it now cuz I have to agree with the sentiment that you’re already “eye candy” ;o) Shoot, you’re a complete and total package combining Intelligence, talent and “hunkiness” Yea, so not a word but you get my point :o)
Curiosity, CJ – just plain old curiosity!! 😉
Man with great abs? Mmmm. Good on you CJ, but we should have our reward even if you don’t get to 5000. Off with that shirt!
I love a man with great abs!! Let’s see ’em!
You could post yours right now and do just fine, CJ!! Go for it!
I love all this encouragement!! Keep it up, ladies!!
One man…thirty two abs!!
LOL, the things us authors have to do to get read LOL… but this is great fun on many levels, everyone benefits, you get healthy, manday get views, books get sold, readers get a beautiful picture and someone wins $500… go boy! keep breathing through the planks (gawd I hate those things!) 🙂
I sure hope you get 5k comments!
Wholly ABday – Batman – SAve me by sharing your ABS!

C’mon, CJ….what do you really have to lose? Look at all of these women already encouraging you to do so… while women like to drool over “Hollywood” men, we like the “real” thing too.
What an awesome bet! Love it
You totally need to do the Beckham pose.
You’re so awesome for doing this!
Good luck!
Alright CJ, you got this!
Love this idea. As a fellow author, I agree with the previous post. Authors can be eye candy too! We need to get you 5000 then on the Mr. Merrick hahahaha
Matt is already working out, since he’s next!!
woohoo – Can’t wait to see the pics and good luck winning your bet!!!!
Good luck on reaching the 5,000 comments!
CJ, I’m sure your photos will be the hottest in the history of Jillian’s MANday, shirtless or not
🙂 Good luck.
Aah so excited for this !!!
Hmm, can’t pass up this opportunity to get someone shirtless. 😉
Waiting for that shirtless CJ at the top of those pics! WooHoo!!
So awesome!! Love love the pictures!
I bet you look great shirtless! Can’t wait to see! 🙂
As an 8th grade teacher, I am laughing myself silly. BUT I am commenting so get to work!

this. is. awesome. =P
This is too funny. CJ I’ve been getting a kick out of watching your conversations with the WANA group. I hope you get your 5000 comments over here.
Leave it to Jillian and Marcia to come up with something like this! Big contest! You better keep working out; I bet it’s gonna happen!
You’re an awesome sport for agreeing to this btw!
This is great – Can’t wait to see you on your ManDay CJ!
A plank a day….
Great contest idea- can’t wait to see your abs 🙂
[…] Needless to say, apparent International Men of Mystery do have their conditions. In CJ’s case it was comments on his blog … and not just comments, 5000 of them. Now, I’m not expecting you to make all 5000 yourself, but why not make Jill’s day, just click on the link to leave a comment on CJ’s site … and make something up in the secret life of CJ West for the MANday challenge. […]
Put your body where your words are! (Or something along those lines!)
I always judge an author by his six-pack. 😉
Wow! What a bet! Good Luck… I Shared on my blog.. 🙂
I’m so in for this!!! I am spreading the word everywhere!! 🙂
Sweet..You can cut cheese on those abs..
“Always judge an author by his six pack” – thats prob my fave quote from all the ones above! (for me it would be my six pack of donuts…..) Great idea here CJ and Jillian and Im envious of the motivation this will provide for lots of exercise which prob most authors needs more of…5000 comments here we come.
Hmm, could be an interesting pic! 🙂
I believe in Jillian! You’ll be taking off your shirt and posing before you know it. 🙂
Always in for a good cause! 😉
[…] also award a $500 Amazon Gift card to one lucky winner!!! To enter to win the $500 gift card, go to CJ’s blog and leave a […]
Sounds like everyone wins with this one. Enjoy the crunches. 🙂
CJ West get ready to show us those abs!! We can make the 5,000 post.
Woot Woot!!! Good Luck!!! ;-D
Oh you should totally start working out because I know Jillian’s gonna do everything to have a post about those abs on her blog!! 🙂
Dear God, I love this…. C’mon CJ! You’ve got our support!
Exercise does a body good!
Good luck (either way!)
Yes! I’m certain Nigel Blackwell’s claims about your heroic feats were true, all true.
Oh Gloria, how could you possibly have any doubts? 😉
Cross promotion at its finest… You’ve got my support!
MANday is my favorite day of the week!

How many comments are there so far? Hmm, 5000 is a long way to go. But hey, still one more month! Lol
Come on – go for it.
Haha I like this contest. Lets see then ^_^
Go for it!!!
Love this contest! Do it CJ!!!!
You know you want to be featured on MANday! 🙂
I’m in! Lol! Love me some MANday! Yummy – eye candy! Can’t blame a girl for looking right? 🙂
I absolutely love this idea and I’d love to see it. Rita’s Reviews sent me 😀
As a fellow writer, CJ, I know you will represent us well! I will say that you’re eye-candy whether you show those abs or not. Further, your personality and willingness to do this bet is even more attractive.
Lets make it happen!!
[…] enter, go to CJ’s blog and leave a […]
Angela Wallace sent me over here, and I think I can heartily approve of this contest!
Whooh!! We’re over 100, only 4,900 to go!!! I need #MANday to go viral!!! And CJ, someone told me that you can’t have 5,000 comments on a wordpress blog, but we can deal with that when we get too many.
Okay, we’ll figure that out.
Oh how tawdry, how low, how disgusting… I’m on board! No pun intended. CJ, I hope this means you aren’t swittching to light beer.
I’m waiting for those pics!
Jillian’s been all over the web with this. You might actually have to do it 😛 I think if she actually gets 5000 comments here, you should pose like Beckham – just sayin 🙂
Haha, dude, they will never leave you alone till you do this (not that that’s a bad thing!) Good luck!
You wouldn’t want to let your fans down, now would you CJ? Ditch the shirt and give us the 6 pack!
Oh please please please, lets get you to 5000!!
Keep on those doing those crunches and planks cuz I believe that Jillian can pull this off!
Yes please 🙂
I think this is an awesome opportunity for both parties. Now, if you get to looking really good…maybe you can raise some money for a charity.
Amy Burt sent me, and I thank her heartily 🙂
I am totally down for this! ❤
yahoo!!
Count me in!!! 🙂
nice pics.
Let’s see those abs!
Come on C.J…..lets see them!!!! Don’t be shy!!!!
im totaly all for it cj!! im so glad rita reviews sent me over here! so not disapointed! 😛
CJ! CJ! CJ !CJ! CJ! Make us proud, and show off those abs!
CJ time to take your shirt off
Do it, dude…
Come on CJ, be on MANday!!! We NEED to see those abs!
You should show us those abs! Just take it off!
Come on ladies post up for CJ, lol. This is the good for women readers everywhere, 😉
Hi CJ Jillian sent me! And I’d love to see your abs 🙂
Good Luck CJ! Keep posting the pictures:)
You go CJ!! Wanna see some skin! 😉
Commenting again for good measure….
This will let me see those abs a few weeks early!
When does the post go live? Have I missed the gift card giveaway?
The post I’m referring to is the one on Jillian’s blog. You know, the one with the pictures…
Can we post more than once?
Good luck !
Are we at 5000 yet? A lot of people would be very disappointed if CJ doesn’t pose.
I definitely want to see….gotta be honest!
Take it off, baby!! Us girls just can’t do things like this.lol
No you can’t!
too fun!!! I wanna see 🙂
Ok, CJ, show us your stuff! I’m rooting for ya!
Hi Cj! I’m on you like white on rice. Iykwim. <–Google it. Wait, what I mean is that as an educator, I think it is important for us to have real life examples of humans who come close to embodying the Platonic Ideal. And you, sir, you are a fabulous specimen.
Plus hot people have to stick together.
So I wish I could provide you with a little more in that department.
Sorry to let you down.

Can’t wait to see you bare your bod! Here is one more comment closer to 5000!!
Sounds like a good idea to me!

This is a fun contest! I bet this will be an extra motivator to get in the gym too!
As someone who really appreciate a good set of abs, I’m in. And I’ll be returning to this page often just to drool, er, admire artistically the photo of Beckham.
More pics, please. Beckham is ripped, but does he have to look so smug? CJ won’t do that, right?
I just hope I don’t look like a dweeb!
Okay, I TOTALLY have to get on this bandwagon. 5,000 here we come!!
How can I resist pics like that? More please 😀
Four words of advice…500 crunches per day. :))
Do it CJ!!!
one more closer to 5000!
one more closer to 5000
WOO! Love me some Chris Hemsworth! Show him up CJ! 😉
Whoot!
This is for you CJ…bring it.
To encourage somebody to do something Chinese say “Jiayou!” what literally means ‘Add gas’. Come on CJ, Add some!! Jiayou!!
Come on CJ show us your abs!!!!!
damn, you need 5000 people..that’s stretching it, no? =)
BUT HERE’S MY COMMENT. GO GO GO.

Guess I don’t need to tell you I shared the post. I say “Do it. Just do it.” 😉
The things you ladies do to get a man’s shirt off. Hope it works
I’m not doing this for my benefit, but since most of my readers are femaile, I can’t resist something like this. Plus, it’s a great idea for a promotion. Sex sells, right? No need to answer that.
Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!
Doo eettt!
Wow, CJ. Jillian is right. You ARE kinda cute. 🙂 I’m definitely going to be mocked for this, but my favourite parts of romance movies are definitely scenes where the guy takes his shirt off. I think we should all live somewhere where buff guys are forbidden to wear shirts. I mean, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Hmm, maybe I should put that in one of my scenes in my romance novel. 😉 Looking forward to the pecs-er pics-I mean post! ;P
Too funny Amy!
Thanks for sharing
I want you on MANDay!
Shirtless pictures! WHoop!
Pics plz 🙂
oh well, this gotta work
DO it ! Illl share!
I’m always up for some hot guys showing some abs so here I am helping out a good cause : )
I am definitely interested in this! Who can pass up a hot author
*woot* Go CJ!!
I am in…… cool looking pics
Go, CJ! And please share your workout regimen 🙂
Fabio,
I post about my workouts every Friday here. I hope to bring some new exercises to readers. I’m definitely drawing inspiration and ideas from all of you rooting me on.
YUM!! Totally worth it! Can’t wait for that MANDAY!!!
Go CJ!! The pics look cool and I am sure you will look cool too 😀
You can do it!!!
Glad she didn’t ask me to take off my shirt. Unless people are interested in man boobs.
Even the shyest boy when given enough encouragement because a seasoned warrior when entering into battle.
I’m just in it for potential shopping spree. :B
Count me in! I want to see more abs like the Samoan Rugby player – you got ’em?
Do it, CJ! Do it!
I know you want to. I mean you really don’t want to let all these lovely ladies down, now do you? Let’s see those abs!!
🙂
Jillian is right…you are a cutie. Looking forward to your shirtless photos. 🙂
Thanks Kristy!
You’ve got my vote.
Nothing is sexier than a man with intelligence…patiently waiting to see you here CJ.
[…] As you might guess from Jillian’s website, she writes about romance and fun. Take a look at CJ’s website and you know immediately the man is dangerous … at least he writes dangerous. He’s […]
Go on cJ even if you don’t get 5000 comments. You can be a Metrosexual hero!
#metrosexual
Do it CJ!
Would it count if one person comments 4800 times? And how do we find someone that obsessive?
Come on CJ let’s see what you have!
After how long it took me to scroll to the bottom to leave my comment, you HAVE to do it! Okay maybe not for that reason, but for this one: We only live once… so do it, just to do it…
Bookmarking Jillian’s site asap!!!!! 500 you are off to a great start!!
I think you should GO FOR IT! Can’t wait to see the pictures/
Do it! You know you wanna! 😉 Have fun!
For $500 I’ll leave a reply…lol. I’ll even say you’d look good doing it (for $500)
DO IT!! Personally I can’t see why you wouldn’t want to do it – especially given all the people who agree with me 😀
Sure do it CJ
Life is short, go for it!
Don’t be intimidated, CJ.
Just do it!
CJ which one was you
Jeff,
None of those guys is me. That’s why I’m working out!
OMG! What a fun cross promotion idea! I really hope that they get the 5000 comments. Not so much for the pics but because it will show the spirit of the book reading community! Good luck!
What a fun contest. If you’re not bashful, go for it! Its really no different than hanging out at the pool, right?
Ooh, all the best!
pragyasharma_100@yahoo.co.in
Come on! You know you want to! Think of all the positive energy sent your way when thousands of women go to bed dreaming about you:)
Do we get progress photos along the way?
No photo progress. I’ve got work to do on my abs!
Oh, can’t wait…what an awesome challenge!
I’m in CJ. You better get those photos ready. 🙂
There was a famous comercial where the gentleman said if you come on down I will eat a bug, now really isn’t this is so much better 🙂 Go for it!
I’m voting with a big ‘ol HELL YEAH! Do it, CJ!
Go CJ!!!!! Get those ads ready and tanned up!!!
Yes Yes Yes – More baby More!!!
Clearly, I need to become a fan of Jillian Dodd’s blog! A little Manday never hurt anybody, did it? 🙂
Good luck on your ab work CJ, and happy birthday!
Can’t wait to see the pics
Only 224 comments? I can see I need to tweet more.
Only 224 comments? I need to tweet this more! 😉
I think CJ should do it; it could be the beginning of a MANday authors calendar!
Go CJ go!!!
ok CJ, I might be old enough to be your mother, I still like a nice looking guy, and your it. If you got it………
Count me in! Telling all my friends to comment to. LOL
Hope you get to pose for the pictures C. J.
c’mon, CJ play along! 😉
wow, thanx for showing me this site, i shall definitely pass it around to my friends…..cj, go for it, i promise i will not lose respect for u……….heh heh
k
Photos are good!
I think it’s time we take our relationship to the next level . . . . take it off!!!
How awesome!!! I’ve got my glass of Sweet Ice Tea and a front row seat. I’m ready!! 🙂
Which half????
*drool* If the 6 pack isnt ready by picture time, fine by me- I like a man with a little meat 🙂
CJ, Looks like your almost there, keep up the exercising and you will soon look like ths. Keep it up. You can do it and end you looking like these pictures !!!!
Jeff Sabatula
What a fun challenge! I am so glad that you are up to doing it!
So what is the comment count to date?
We have a long way to go. There are almost 300 comments, but the bet says 5,000 individuals. If you want to win the $500 maybe you should encourage some girlfriends to come on over and comment!
CJ The bet was 5,000 comments, not 5,000 individuals. Come one ladies. Comment multiple times. We can make this happen.
Marsha, read the fine print above…
I thought all women knew each other anyway. Can’t you send over 5,000 friends to comment 😉
Can’t wait til July!!!!!
I know you can do it CJ!!!! And thank you Jillian for the Monday Manday!
Can’t wait til July!!!
I cant pass up a chance to see some sexy abs…
Come on CJ, dont be shy!!!!
CJ – So she wants to you get half nekkid? Which half? LOL
omg keep them coming they are soo easy on the eyes for sure nice eye candy lmao
Don’t loose a pound! Only dogs like bones, real women like meat on a man ;).
Fun, can’t wait to see the pix 🙂
After you pose you should sell 8×10 autographed glossies to benefit a charity, sign in lower right hand corner so as not to cover up any of the eye candy please. I’m in for 10 right now, to benefit Clean Water – and to start the campaign to get Matt Damon to be next.
CJ I don’t know what you’re worried about, everyone is beautiful. You have a set of gorgeous eyes, a wonderful brain, and I love the way you write. Honestly I haven’t spent any time looking at the rest of you because it wasn’t important to me and I don’t judge people by the way they look but by the way they act and that is honest truth. But if you’re working out to change something about yourself, please do it for YOU to make yourself happy. I tried doing it because it would make someone else happy and guess what? It only made them want to change something else about me.
Be at peace with yourself. I am now and I’m in the best shape ever. Recovering from two total knee replacements has set me back some but its only temporary.
Love your writing and I’ll be spreading the word.
I’m with you on the 8×10 glossies, but I would have to suggest either Make A Wish foundation or Leukemia Society.
LOVE THE PICS AND CAN’T WAIT TO SEE CJ SHIRTLESS…. WOOHOO!!!
Do you really believe you have a chance at winning the bet? You have so many comments I guess you’ll be forced either way! Lol
Thanks for the greatest books! Love Love Love reading them! Your talent is so awesome, thank you for sharing it.
OH MY GOODNESS….I will be just a waiting for the new pics for sure….please..please and please … you would be doing the world a HUGE favor….
Hope you get 5000 replies! V-sit-ups, leg-lifts, and that yoga stomach thing… can’t remember the name (obviously I’m out of practice… LOL!)
Do some pictures! Doesn’t matter what style, just do them and give some of us old ladies a thrill! 🙂
P.S. Love your books, keep them coming, even if you don’t do the pics. And have a great Birthday!
This will be fun … and definitely YUMMY 🙂
What a fun day!
Hmmmm… just waiting to see. 🙂
Oh, do the Beckham pose.
I could win $500 to ogle a sexy, shirtless author? Oh my, what an awesome deal!! I say DO IT!
Okay, I love this contest. Just don’t over-do the pecs thing. I hate that so musle bound you can’t move look. Someone said we should live where buff men had to go shirtless.. I just hate to say that some man would ruin the whole thing by thinking he was buff and he so wasn’t. You know you have seen this guy. Luckily it’s not CJ.
I may be old and married, but I still enjoy the sights…. I just stay content with the flower in my own garden while admiring those on the hillside. 😉
Sounds like fun! Good luck! You’ll be great! 🙂
[…] because I’d like to help the MANday cause, and see what kind of abs CJ West will be showing off, I reblogged Debra Kristi’s post. I hope you’ll help Jillian Dodd […]
Come on CH what do you have to lose… YOUR SHIRT???? Go for it you are only young once. okay lets get the comments going…
I think you’re well on your way to being shirtless!! 🙂
Oh la la la!! Keep em comin! 🙂
Sign me up! 😀 *leaves to go encourage the masses to comment* 😛
Go for it! I’ll be watching:)
Go for it CJ!!!
Keep up the good work. All it takes is one great idea amd one great book to be a john grishsm.
Sweet to see folks different tastes when it comes to what makes a Man really attractive! ☺ He’s gotta have a nice smile too…right?
Yes and a great personality with a sense of humor! Six pack optional 🙂
I think I’ve got two out of three. You guess which two.
Oh I bet you’ve got three! A great smile, check, A great personality, check, and you have got to have a great sense of humor to agree to this challenge! Now get working on the fourth! 🙂
I would love, love, love to see CJ in a hot pose! With a sexy face like that I’m sure his body is just as hot! Show us your abs…you know you want to! ❤ ❤
They look so much better without tattoos!
I’m glad to tell you I’m tattoo free.
Never been to her site before, but I think I’m missing out.
Oh, this is too fun. I hope you make it to 5,000! 🙂
hoping it happens! keep working out!
Nothing like a good looking man–with or without his shirt on.
Oh Jillian, you are one of my favorite YA authors: you’re sassy, you’re witty, and you’re so darn sweet (plus you manage to get guys to take their clothes off with minimal effort!) Go girl! Get his shirt off!
WOW!!! Nice eye candy!! yummy!!!
Hi CJ, How was your birthday yesterday?
It was great. Almost 700 people dropped in on Facebook to wish me happy birthday. I was stunned.
Wow! 700? That’s awesome!
Oh wow fantastic author and a super body to boot. I want to see him with out his shirt
Just DOOOOO ITTTTTT
I think CJ should these guys are hot and so is CJ
Yay, CJ pics! Oh, no…does that make me a cougar?
aaahh….ummm..ghdohgy8whjkldliolhs. sorry, kinda lost my words there;) Yeah, I say go for it! The world will be a better place because of Jillian’s brilliant bet! i knew nothing of this until reading a post on Rita’s Reviews. Glad I came over! REALLY glad. lol!
CJ, you’re definitely worthy of any accolade you might get ESPECIALLY for your writing. 🙂
writing is good!
Go, CJ, go!
So here goes for comment #304. Wow, we have a ton of work to do to get 5000 “people” to comment.
Do they really mean PEOPLE – i.e. discreet, individual people, or do they mean COMMENTS, as in one person can make more than one comment about the progress CJ is making on his distance & times as well as plank times?
These writers can me tricky, tricky – after all they are Masters of Words.
The bet is 5,000 people. It seemed reasonable. They don’t have to take their clothes off after all.
Help us spread the word and get to 5,000!
This is just so awesome!! Let’s get to 5,000!!
CJ, I have absolutely NO INTEREST in seeing your abs (mostly because of the way that would make me feel about my own abs). But here’s my comment in support and solidarity of my female peeps and tweeps. Cheers, R.S.
You are a good man R.S. Thanks for helping out!
Count me in! What a good sport to agree to the bet! 🙂 Here’s hoping your exercise pays off.
Not a bad way to start the day.
We’ve got a long way to go before hitting 5,000 but here’s my comment. Go, CJ!
Add my name to the list! Please do it!
[…] help me convince Author CJ West to be on a future MANday!! If you go to his website and leave him a comment, you could win […]
Who cares about weight, just keep the pictures coming.
CJ – you only have one body in this life….be proud of it and use it well….now get that shirt off and say “cheese”
Maybe we should ask for a before and after pic? Kind of like a sneak peek…Hmm?
I think CJ should definitely do the shirtless picture. I am half way through The End of Marking Time. I look forward to reading all your other books.
Thanks Sue. I really appreciate the support of my books and MANday!
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling…ah-ha! Made it. Its a very good bribe. I wouldn’t mind seeing the pics either.
Can’t wait for the next set of photos!!!!! *hint hint*
Fun contest idea. Hope you make 5000.
I’d like to comment on lemon sorbet…

[…] in my never ending quest to WIN the #MANday Challenge, please help me by clicking over to CJ’s Blog and tell him you want to see his abs!!! You could win a $500 gift […]
CJ I love this contest idea who would not want a chance to win books or money or see guys with their shirts off?
you better work hard on those abs of yours honey I plan on telling everyone I talk to
and I have a big mouth
Get that mouth in gear. You have a lot of comments to get!
Roselover24 has a big mouth lol
Hey Sue, I did it!!!
xoxo, 1Lavishone
Oh hell, I’m game, may your shirt come off! *cue stripper music*
Laughing. I feel so objectified.
I commented, bb. =D
There’s a contest & even if I don’t win a prize I get to see a man shirtless? Count me in 😉 Here’s hoping my comment will be one of 5000 😛
I vote we tell everyone we know…that oughtta get some comments!!!
Go Allison.
I think you should tell everyone you know! Tell them to try my books while you’re at it 😉
Okay, so Roselover24 sounded the call, so here I am. I feel terrible objectifying you in this way, but perhaps you won’t mind sharing your lovely shirtless self.
I would love the gift card since I read so much. 🙂
Thanks!
1Lavishone
good luck!

Oh, CJ…you better work! 😉 @Roselover24 sent me and there’s plenty more where that came from!
See (more of) you soon!

@jedecec
Who cares about the contest? You should leave your shirt either way!
Thanks Kasey!
Wow, what a great way to make hot guys lose their shirts!!! Sign me up!!!
Thanks Deb!
@Roselover24 sent me but I would’ve probably shown up on my own. Now let’s see those delts. And abs. And pecs.
We need to get to 5,000 first.
Thanks for helping out!
I was sent here by Roselover on twitter, she makes a very compelling argument on why we should be spreading the word about this post. Come on 5000.
She makes a very compelling argument doesn’t she!
Fun contest idea. Can’t wait to hear the final results
Thanks Rachelle.
Glad you came over to visit.
Books & shirtless men?? Count me in! Thanks to @Roselover24 for sending me! : )
Roselover24 sent me too 🙂 Take it off!
Thanks for coming over!
Take it off!!
MANday might be my favorite day of the week. Good luck!
I think all you women should come to my blog and post your pics in the comments.
Haha! Are you saying, “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours?”
I didn’t say abs, I just said pics.
Hell yeah, I wanna see some shirtless pics!
Bring on the picpics
I was told to tell you that Sue sent me! I’m all for a good lookin man, that can write, showin us what he’s got! 😉 woot!
Thanks Rach!
Take it off, loverboy 😉
P.S. Rose sent me ❤
Loverboy? Wasn’t that a band from the 80’s?
Roselover sent me. I was told there would be naked men, punch and pie.
I have no idea why I’m doing this, lol. Helping out a friend?
Roselover24 sent me and asked me to comment. 🙂
Hi MJ.
Welcome. Thanks for visiting!
I’m here to confirm Rose has a big mouth 😉 and I like when guys take their shirts off. Especially soccer players.
How about writers?
Well, I won’t know until I see will I? I was watching soccer when Sue sent me over… I have a hard time switching gears. lol
I guess I’m going to have to wait for July to get your verdict.
FOCUS Deb FOCUS we gotta get more people over here
LOL this is great 🙂
Sue sent me and I’m glad she did.
Hi Laura. Thanks for coming!
Works for me. I’m here via @debb24601 via @Roselover24
Another Roselover friend, who’s big mouth on twitter sent me here. Take it off big guy!!
lets see what ya got!lol
Thanks to @Roselover24 add me as one more towards the 5000!
We need more commentators or we might not make that 5000 (which would be a great pity). I’m off to spread the word 😀
Thanks! All this attention is forcing me to really work out.
Dunno if Loverboy was a band from the 80’s. I was born in ’88. 🙂
Ooops! I was a kid in the 80’s and yes, Loverboy was around then.
I believe in roselover!
Thanks for helping!
Oh, indeed. Equal objectification of the sexes acts to nullify acts of objectification, doesn’t it?
No?
In any event, it’d be fairly cool unless you have some objection.
*smile* Doesn’t seem like the case, anyway.
Heads up to Sue/Roselover – This is what comes over eaves-tweeting. Or, er, something. I probably should take a new netiquette course…
Buenas noches…
Thanks Sandi.
Objectification of men doesn’t seem to be a serious problem. Unless you are a fireman.
can’t wait 🙂 keep working out! haha just joking
What fun!!
This is a fun idea. I’m all for it, because @Roselover told me to be. jk jk If you don’t mind taking it off, I don’t mind supporting it!
Thanks Kassiah. I can use all the support I can get!
What a fun bet! Can’t wait for the photos. 🙂

As I near closer to that BIG 50 (this December), it would be lovely to see shirtless hot guys as Eye Candy for my Golden Years!! LOL
We aren’t that far apart in age.
This ain’t the golden years yet!!!
You’re right of course, but tell that to my children ages 22, 23, 24, 24, 29 and 33. They are already trying to put me out to pasture. As if I’m some kind of cow or something! Although, I must admit, I use to use the word HEIFER a lot when I was much younger. I’ve aged to perfection now, so I haven’t used that word in quite some time. Yay Me.
God bless you for raising six kids!
You deserve a medal. These “middle years” should be fun with an empty nest! Enjoy!
Well CJ, I don’t really need to see you shirtless but since this is all in good fun I wanted to add my comment to help Lori get her 5000. Good luck to you

Happy Friday! Are we close enough to 5000 to get the stripper music ready?
stripper music? You do realize I’m a guy.
What do the Chippendale’s dance to?
They follow me on twitter, I’ll ask them for some recommendations! 🙂
The Full Monty 😀 Wouldn’t mind seeing you dance that one!! 😀
Yikes!
You caaan llleeeeaaave your haaaat onnnn..
402? OK, ladies, we have work to do!
lots
and
more lots (it won’t let me duplicate lots)
Problem is, it has to be 5,000 people, not 5,000 comments, so tell everyone you know!
It doesn’t specifically say that the people have to be different people. 0;-)
Maybe we have split personalities, and are different people every day.
did you read the fine print?
Okay that’s a good way to look at it!
of
Keep up the good work CJ can’t wait to see the end results!!!
Thanks Virgo!
work
I agree Kemmery. Espacially as CJ is working out in readiness 😀
Hmmm…Sue seems to think I ought to promote this, but I think I want the D. Beckham pose…
Hello pretty boys, with all your yumminess!
Hello right back at you pretty girl.
Always ready to support a good cause. Savage made me do it.

Here’s a thought that may help persuade you: if you pose with your shirt off, you’ll be helping the earth AND humankind:
If you see you shirtless, it will make us happy. When we’re happy, we’re more inclined to do nice things. We donate to charities. We pick up pieces of litter and throw them away instead of walking past it on the sidewalk. We’re nicer to others. We make a concerted effort to recycle. And so on and so on.
So if you just show us some skin, you can help close the hole in the ozone layer that much faster. It’s all up to you, C.J. It’s all up to you.
I love having a chance to save the world!
Thanks for such a great comment!!!!
Well, thanks, I’m just doing my part to help beautify the world in as many ways as possible. 😉
This is the best comment I have ever seen.
Thank you, ma’am!
CJWest Can’t wait to see those ab pics but I might get a closer look. It should be MANday every day!
Quoting NIKE:
Just do it!
Cannot wait for the big day:))
Cool!
I’m commenting just in the interests of being a team player. *ahem*
I’m in. Fantastic fun, CJ.
Keep pumping that iron, CJ. I’m just checking in to make sure you aren’t slacking off!
Good thing you are. I might get lazy!
This! OMG. Hot. 😉 Go CJ!
Your awesome ^.^
Thanks Kimberly!

I don’t care if you work out between then and now or not i say take the shirt off anyway lol
Yay! Abs!
Still a long way from 5k!
Luck!
Shed the shirt, CJ. Give us what we want!!!
That’s what I like to see. A woman who knows what she wants.
CJ’s gonna give us a nap?
LOL!
A nap?
I could really use a nap. I had a bunch of teens over here this last weekend shooting scenes from the Outsiders for a school project and getting high on kiddy crack/pixie stix. I’m still recovering.
Let’s see those abs!
I dig it!!
We need to comment more frequently or we’ll never see the topless pics 😦 (haven’t even reached 500 comments yet!)
ilona, it’s 5,000 people, not 5,000 comments. So go round up some friends. 🙂
Round ’em up Cowgirls!
Pumped!
This is quite a challenge you have going on! Here is my contribution. 🙂
You wouldn’t want to disappoint so many ladies now, would you? 🙂
That would be a bad idea wouldn’t it?
I’ll chime in! Curious writers want to know…
Yes please 🙂 Go for it, CJ.
A successful author offering to take his shirt off? My answer will always be yes.
Ps. I especially liked your book Taking Stock.
Thanks Brittany!

Awesome. Keep them coming!
Are we there yet? Will check out your books too!
Thanks Toria.
We are four weeks away. Getting close.
LOVING this…and love your books!
Thanks Tressa!
PLEASE!!!!!
Do it! I hope it happens 🙂
We are getting very close.
I hope this happens. Do it! 😀
Thanks Abi!

Yes please!
Keeping my fingers crossed!!! ;;)
If you rock the body just do it even if is just your cutie face 🙂

It’s pretty much necessary that you show is your abs. Just sayin’.
Hmm? CJ West doing a MANday photo shoot. Next thing will be an Author’s Calendar with different writer’s showing their bodies. I keep telling my kids that since I’ve retired, I’m strictly considered eye-candy … since I’m getting too old to be much of a muscle man for work nor will they consider my supervisory advice; hence I now am the proverbial eye-candy. My four sons tell me the candy has turned and pray the eye is blind. BUT, to you, CJ, I wish you the best on this endeavor.
Thanks Bob!
As Nike would say, “Just Do It” 😉 If Jillian is asking to you show some abs, she obviously thinks you’ve got what it takes to make a gagillion girls drool. Consider it a compliment.
Who am I to disappoint a gagillion girls?
oh you’ll be fine! We’re not that hard of a crowd to please.
We want to see yo abs! 😀
Yep you are some serious eye candy already! I would love to see more pics!
Definitely a Beckham pose is needed 🙂 Good luck
Go!!! 🙂
This is hilarious! Good luck!
Hey, looks like you only have 5 more to go… well, 4 counting mine. 🙂
It’s 5,000 Kitty not 500. 🙂
lol okay. 😛
Here’s hoping that we get to the 5000 comments soon so that CJ will strip for us, or maybe if he is feeling generous he will do it for his loving and loyal fanbase even if there’s not the 5000
Thanks for the great blog hop. Katrina stepartdesigns @ hotmail . com
OK….man candy it is. Looks like I’m number 499. One more to go! This is great! Unique contest.
Here’s hoping you get to 5,000 very soon!

Hey CJ Since you’re just getting back to working out here’s an idea, How about shooting for a Christmas ab reveal? We’ll get you a Santa hat and.?.Everyone will have you on their wish list 🙂
Too funny Karen.
Maybe I can finish by thanksgiving and pose naked holding a turkey.
You want a frozen turkey or a live one? 🙂 How about we do a CJ calender? Halloween could be a pumpkin or witches hat!
I’ll buy the calender LOL .. Theresa x
awwww man!!! is it too late for the challenge? Well I’m posting anyways! 🙂
Hey Cj! Haven’t heard from you in awhile. Photo shoot still on? Halloween’s right around the corner. 🙂 Hope everything has been well with you. Have a great week.

Hello, hello, hello! I’ve got your Santa hat. Do you have some abs to show us? Merry Christmas CJ! Hope all is well with you.
My abs are coming slowly Karen. I’ve had some big distractions lately.
Hi CJ Just checking in on you. Haven’t seen anything lately from Jillian either. 🙂 Hope your distractions are good ones and you have a wonderful holiday.
Thanks Karen.
My distractions are challenging, but good.
Happy Holidays to you too!
