A Quick Love Letter to You re: The Bloglovin’ Awards

I haven’t yet delivered a re-cap about the Bloglovin Award event that took place at The Stone Rose Lounge in the Time Warner building last Sunday night but in few words I can tell you it felt like the most awesome culmination blog post on steroids. Virtually (hehe, literally and figuratively) every blogger I’ve ever followed was in attendance. I sat at a table with three of my all-time favorites: Kelly Framel of The Glamourai, Geri Hirsch of Because I’m Addicted and none other than Mr. Newton himself.

The table positioning was reward enough for me. I love these girls more than I do knit turbands.

But in any case, I did win a formal award for Most Original blogger too. I was up against Susie Lao of Style Bubble, Bryan Boy, Julia Frakes of Bunny Bisous and Gala Darling; all bloggers I’ve respected and admired since before I even knew what HTML was, needless to say I was surprised by the win. This brings me to my next point: thank you, for voting. This blog is really worth nothing without support from you, the readers, who are pretty much the only reason I wake up every morning and think “how can I deflect penises today?” And while I understand you may grow tired of hearing about man repelling trends and lady boners, it must be said: I’d still rock dental braces for you. The correlation is there. Dig deep for it.

After having received the award which included an awesome Rebecca Minkoff purse, Mr. Newton commended me for embracing my inner lunatic and letting it run free. Now I commend you for applauding it instead of opting to have me admitted to Bellevue Hospital. 

So, thanks. I’m nothing but a girl in drop-crotch pants without you.
