As I mentioned on Friday, it was really hard (and kind of weird) to look through 2400 photos of your husbands, boyfriends and babydaddies to select my ten favorites for the Dyson Dads “What’s Sexy Now” finals.
Any dad washing a dish or giving a kid a bath looks super attractive me. You should keep me away from your men.
But what must be done, must be done, so I made some hard choices.
Below are the ten #DysonDads finalists. Remember this is not about picking the best looking guy. It’s about what task/scenario would make you drag your own husband back to the bedroom.
Would that be…
Building a shed?
Frosting cookies?
Not only buying stuff for a home improvement project but taking your son along for the trip?
Brishing your daughter’s hair?
Teaching your toddler how to ride a scooter?
Dropping your son off at school dressed as Batman?
Giving your three girls a bike ride?
Making breakfast while holding both of your kids?
Giving your daughter a pedicure?
Baking shirtless in a frilly apron?
Instead of a regular vote, I switched things up and created a sexy scale. Everyone should order each photo from bottom (somewhat sexy) to top (Ryan Gosling and George Clooney asking you for a three-way).
All finalists will receive a Dyson DC34 handheld ($199) and the dad rankest the highest will win a Dyson Digital Slim DC59 Motorhead ($549), which is possibly the best vacuum ever. Or, at the very least, the best vacuum I have ever owned.
The winner of the #DysonDads photo contest will be announced on July 8th. (Voting will close at 6pm EST on July 7th.) I’ll expect the pic of the winner’s husband vacuuming with his new Dyson DC59 shortly thereafter!
Here’s Mike vacuuming the top of the curtains with a look that says “See how easy it is to reach tough places with a super light cordless?” and “Are you done taking pictures of me now?”
You don’t even want to know the amount of dust that came off those things.
To further prove how much Mike likes his new vaccum, he asked me to ask Dyson if they would give us another Digital Slim for the summer house, despite the fact that we have a built-in central vac there.
This is my not-so-subtle way of asking. (Can you hear me, Dyson? It’s me, Ilana.)
FYI- My plan is to pretend this contest is continuing through 2015 and take weekly photos of Mike vacuuming. For the sponsorship. Obviously.
Thank you all for participating and submitting your photos!
If you like this contest and want to make sure I do it again, please follow @Dyson on Instagram.
Oops. Messed up that survey. Wanted to vote for the man with the pink apron, but I don’t think that’s what I did…
Wish I had done this…but I guess I can enjoy the fact my husband does do all of these things…except the pink apron while baking, but have to hand it to that husband he pulls it off with the vince vaughn stare – lol!
The winner of the #DysonDads photo contest will be announced on June 8th. (Voting will close at 6pm EST on June 7th….shouldn’t that be July??
Love how you set-up the survey where we drag items into our preferred order!
PS- the Batman costume is awesome, but getting a good breakfast made for you while simultaneously not having to watch the kids while its prepared = REALLY AWESOME!
Oops! Just fixed! Me dumb.
It was out of the goodness and generosity of my heart that I came here to read this post full of sexy dads. Because I am a friend, I am willing to make these sacrifices to support you.
You’re welcome.
Oh this is the best, I’m kind of biased about Batman.
LOVE Batman dad. That’s amazing.
Cool new way to do the survey!
Voted. This was so cute! I really hope you get to do again. The dad in the apron is adorable.
Thank you! I put entirely too much time into figuring it out. I thought this would be more fun than just voting for your favorite and it should make the outcome more interesting because the winner won’t just be based on who sends over the most friends to vote.
Also- nobody can tell who is winning until the end! Oh, the suspense…
I don’t know what’s sexier, the lineup of dads or that super cool new survey system. Just kidding! It’s the dads, obviously, but the drag and drop survey is pretty hot, too.
I love this contest! I’m just sad that I could not participate as a single mom. I had to recruit the neighbor’s husband to help teach my 6 year old how to ride a two wheeled bike. Maybe Dyson should help out the single mom, **hint, hint, Dyson!!!**
It was hard for me to vote with my kiddie pool swimming-toddler in the airport wearing-cooking-vacuuming husband out of the running, but I’m throwing my support behind building a shed dad! It’s hard to be upset about not winning when I have such an awesome guy at home. He’s worth more than two vacuums…maybe three!
i can’t believe how much harlow looks like your husband and mazzy you… i never win your contests 🙁
I hope you do it again since I slacked and didn’t participate this time. I blame summer travels. 😉
Aggghhh, so hard to decide. They’re all great! But I managed to and voted. Hilarious!
So I voted from somewhat sexy to sexiest but I think I placed them in the wrong order. I put somewhat sexy at the top of the list and went down while increasing the sexiness. Ugh
so hard…. they’re all swoon-worthy!
Love this – voted!
i may be a weensy bit biased, but i think the dad in the pink, floral apron is by far the sexiest! 🙂
LOL
ikr! that is a man right there!
