This year, I have the fantastic honor of judging those of you who are deemed Too Darn Cute (and yes, you know who you are!). It's going to be tough to handle the ginormous amount of cuteness that abounds in this competition, but I feel I am up to the task. After all, I KNOW cute.

| Me as a Cute Puppy with TaiChi! |
 |
| Check out that cute little button nose of mine! Heehee! |
But I don't want you to think that you have to be a puppy to be cute. Cute comes in all shapes, sizes, ages, and species....
 |
| Mom and Dad are partial to 'doodles but you get the idea... |
So as a judge, what am I looking for? Well, honestly, I can't really quantify it - like I said, cute comes in a whole bunch of different forms. BUT, I will tell you that a bunch of pictures in your entry post will really help; some of you cuties I have known for a long time, some of you are new to me - while I will do my best to learn as much about each of you as possible, it will help if you can show me the versatility of your cuteness with multiple pictures.

| Age is no barrier to cuteness! |
I know all my examples are poodles - I can't help it; I've only got Mom's photo albums to draw from, and there are lots and lots of poodles. However, don't think I'm biased toward poodles - I appreciate cuteness in all its varieties!
So don't be shy - let me see you in all your cute glory. Make me go 'Squee' with your cuteness! I can't wait to see all the entries!
Let the games begin! And if you don't know much about Mango Minster, or want to learn more about how to be a part of the Greatest Critter Show in the Universe, check it out!

PeeEss: I'm TOTALLY not taking bribes. Well, I'm mostly totally not taking bribes; I mean, as fellow judge Loki pointed out, EVERYONE has their price... I just don't know what mine is... However, I fully expect any bribes from you cuties to be wrapped in pink and have a big bow on it! Heehee. Seriously, I don't need any bribes, as your overwhelming cuteness is reward enough! :-)

We are glad to see that Frankie Furter is starting this contest off without offering any bribes whatsoever (after all, a snow machine is a necessity, not a bribe).

Judge Fiona, Abby looks forward to working with you again during this year's Mango Minster. Abby apologises for taking so long to contact you, but due to a Major Plumbing Emergency chez nous, she just saw the announcement of her appointment on Sunday evening. Abby is confident that you will maintain the highest ethical standards again this year. Please feel free to call upon Abby at any time if you feel pressured or threatened or tempted in any way, so Abby can nip it in the bud :)
Abby the Legal Beagle[mix] Extraordinaire and Offical Guardian of Ethics for Mango Minster 2012
PeeEss: Thank you for making Abby an actual MM badge, even though we don't have a blog upon which to post it. It is quite lovely.
Omg! You are totally CUTE as a puupeh! Sqweeeeee!
You lucky dog, you get the sweetest category! Now tell me the truth. I bet Abby was all "i should enter the cute category," huh? Its a good thing you are judging it and she can't enter... I mean who thinks hippobottoms are cute? Or is she in denial about that bottom of hers?
