Maybe you'd like to help organize this?

I'd like to delegate this.  Maybe you can send out an announcement and
read through the applications, forwarding only the ones that look good
to me.  You may have to think a bit about what to write in the
announcement, but please do it without asking me -- I need to delegate
more!

I've seen myself in a bathing suit, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't
help...

But if you were to convince me that it really *would* help, I wouldn't
have any problem with it. :-)
