We suspected our first Magazine Editor Hot-or-Not contest might get a little heated. We had no idea. "We hear that a New York mag employee got busted for double-voting," reported Gawker's Choire Sicha late Wednesday afternoon. "Furthermore, we even hear that the otherwise staid offices of Jann Wenner are working some serious vote-getting action, and, at other magazines, PR spokespeople are sending around voting instructions." Though we have no independent corroboration for these charges, we're quite sure they're true because we know Choire would never lie to us.

We also know that turnout was very high—more than 7,500 votes were cast in three days—and that many, many of those voters also included personal notes explaining their choices. Some of the races were blow-outs (mazel tov, Dave Zinczenko, on handily beating three men old enough to be your father), while others were neck-and-neck (Thursday night, Jann Wenner pulled ahead of Ariel Foxman with a Florida-style small, late surge, which, in light of Gawker's allegations, can perhaps be attributed to mogul Wenner's much larger—forgive the unavoidable pun—staff).

One thing held true in nearly all the races: Respondents, for the most part, viewed the competition as a beauty contest. "Which editor would you pick to further your career?" we asked Tuesday, but the replies focused not so much on which editor would provide a career boost but rather on which editor seemed most shtuppably attractive. "Those long, raven locks, coupled with the dark bedroom eyes: How could any man resist?" asked one respondent about Atoosa Rubenstein. "He is, in fact, the picture of health," wrote a woman who voted for Dave Zinczenko. "Also, I've always dug those preppie-looking boys." Wrote a voter in the gay-man category, "I'm a straight female, but Adam Moss is the most gorgeous, drop-dead good-looking man I've ever seen." And let's not get started on all the tributes to Ariel Foxman's face, hair, dimples, chin, and blue, blue eyes (a few of which, we confess, might have emanated from our office).

Some voters did get the point. "Ariel is younger and hotter than Jann, but Jann could do much more for a rising editor's career," wrote a respondent in the gay-man category, with exactly the sort of opportunism we were seeking. "None of the guys appeal to me, but Graydon Carter could advance my career the most," wrote a similarly strategic thinker, this time in the straight-man field. "Maybe I could get my screenplay produced," snarked another Carter voter.

Because voters' minds were clearly in the gutter, it's unsurprising that many of the responses are unsuitable for print on a family website. But it's worth mentioning one truly disturbing, non-X-rated comment: One voter picked Tina Brown in the woman-editor category because, he explained, "She looks like my mom." Yikes.

All that out of the way, congratulations to the four winners of mediabistro.com's first Magazine Editor Hot-or-Not competitions: Spin's Sia Michel, who won a majority of votes in the woman category; Men's Health's Dave Zinczenko, whose pretty-boy rep was well underlined by his trouncing of his straight-man competitors; Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner, who at press time held a slim, 20-odd-vote lead over Cargo's Ariel Foxman (big surprise: the most action was among the gay men); and, finally, Playboy's Hugh Hefner, who won the legends race but—somewhat surprisingly, given his rep—wasn't too far ahead of Vogue's Diana Vreeland, who's been dead for 15 years.
