Amber and Monty Are Named Sexiest Vegetarians Next Door for 2009!

Hundreds were nominated and thousands voted in the 2009 Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door contest. Thanks to more than 200,000 people who logged on to tell us their top picks, we finally narrowed down the 32 smoking finalists to our two lucky winners. With so many hot vegetarians these days, it wasn’t an easy task! In the end, Amber and Monty came out on top. Thanks to the PETA Member Advantage Program, each will receive a free trip for two to Hawaii.

Amber

Name: Amber
Age: 29
Location: Minnetonka, Minnesota

Amber, a Minnesota native, decided to go vegetarian after reading the book Skinny Bitch and doing research on making the switch, and she's thrilled with the results! In addition to feeling stronger both mentally and physically, she loves knowing that her carbon footprint is smaller, thanks to her vegetarian diet. Amber is the very proud guardian of several rescued animal companions, and she spends time volunteering for the Minnesota Boxer Rescue. She even lets her love for animals carry over into her work as a photographer. Check out the cute companion animal gallery on her Web site to see for yourself! Amber's major turn-ons are confidence, bad boys who have a heart for animals, tattoos, and creativity.


Monty

Name: Monty
Age: 33
Location: Los Angeles, California

Monty, 33, initially switched to a vegetarian diet for health reasons, but after he learned how factory farming affects animals and the environment, his convictions were reinforced, and he recently went vegan! Monty owns a visual-arts firm, and his photos capture the essence of a wide variety of timely issues, including President Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Monty shares his home with Zeus, a Chihuahua he took in after he found him wandering on Hollywood Boulevard. Monty considers analytical minds and compassionate hearts to be turn-ons and is turned off by people who aren't open-minded. He loves to travel and will soon retrace the steps of the man who discovered the North Pole.
