We need a group of 10 characters.  What do you think of our top 9… should we keep them all?  Which of the reader suggestions do you think we should add instead?  Remember we’re looking for icons that will translate well into characters. :)

sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

I’m glad that there will be no “Miss Pig in a Blanket” :p I don’t care for the sound of “Miss Stuffed Mushroom” either. It has the same imagery of as the pig in a blanket! But the rest of the options are really cute.

Okay, if it’s “Miss Mushroom Cap,” I think that’s much better :)

I really like the fondue idea, and it would make a cute icon! Miss Calamari is cute, too!

I’m with Mrs. GB, “Miss Stuffed Mushroom” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

I think hummus, mushroom cap, slider and fondue would translate well into a character :)
But if I had to narrow it down my vote would be for Mushroom Cap, I think it would look SO CUTE!

I like mushroom cap, fondue, and I really think Miss Tea Sandwich would be cute. I don’t think quiche would make a very good icon. And I’m not sure Crab Cake would either. Miss Canape would sound really cute, but maybe look too similar to Miss Bruschetta?

How about:
1. Tea Sandwich
2. sushi (variety tbd)
3. dumpling
4. bruschetta
5. Fondue
6. cheese (variety tbd)
7. spring roll
8. shrimp cocktail
9. meatball
10. Mushroom Cap

@Lauren: i agree - i do think canape and bruschetta will look similar. i thought crab cake wouldn’t make a cute icon either, but we can put them on little plates with garnish to spice them up. :)

i’ll add tea sandwich now…

I really think that you should ditch the cheese for this time, and save it to do a whole generation’s worth of cheeses (Miss Brie, Miss Cheddar, Miss Parmesan, etc…)
My top ten are:
1. Miss Crab Cake
2. Miss Hot Wing
3. Miss Hummus
4. Miss Calamari
5. Miss Spring Roll
6. Miss Sushi
7. Miss Bruschetta
8. Miss Tea Sandwich
9. (new suggestion) Miss Deviled Egg :)
10. Miss Mushroom Cap

i doubt we would ever do an entire generation of cheese because the icons would look too similar, and there wouldn’t be much room for variety if someone didn’t want to be a cheese. the same problem with herbs. ;)

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that loves Miss Hot Wing! Another one I would have loved to have been if I had been a Bee (FH and I have gone on many a “beer and wings” date :) ). I’m also a big fan of Miss Fondue - could be a very cute icon.

I think all the viewr requests were alot better than the original ones. I am a single reader so maybe it’s just me but I hardly knew any of the apps that were presented in the top 8…but all of the viewer suggestions I knew and LOVED…especially hot wings, how can that not be a great icon!

what I LOVE LOVE LOVE about these is that there are so many culturally and economically diverse options. I think that this is a great way to shake it up here in the hive and encourage everything from a “caviar” bride down to a “slider” bride….

can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I like the Miss Deviled Egg and Miss Hot wing ideas…

I vote no on the sliders, b/c Mrs. Bee, I’ve heard that the moniker is partly to do with what you mentioned…

I think Miss Fondue is best, it sounds more elegant than the others, and more bridal I guess. besides, brides love being cheesey!
