Yippee! We’ve been nominated for Best Personal Web Site in what the New York Times calls “The Oscars of the Internet.” And what Vanity Fair calls--we’re just dying to hear what the context was--“Better than the Oscars.”
It's called the Webby Awards. We can count on you to vote for People's Voice, right? Right? Thank you.
P.S. Webby Academy people, (that includes you Mr. David Bowie), I don’t mean to sound blithe--this means a lot. And if I win, I'm going to buy a fancy new pair of pj’s to go with that bouncy trophy.
UPDATE:
When I found out about this nomination, I immediately offered to withdraw, being that I hadn't paid a cent in entry fees. (Trust me, if I had 195 bucks in the slush fund, it would sooo be going towards shoes.) Background: All Bloggie nominees could enter the blog category for free, but here I've been nominated for a different category entirely. I sent an email stating this information (minus the "shoe slush fund" part). Their response? “Dude, chill out!”
Their exact words were, “the judges wanted to see [your site] in ‘Personal,’ so that’s where it went.” No, DDJ, I did not have a sugar sponsor, although that’s not such a bad idea. Bowie, you interested?
Why do you refer to yourself as "we"? Is La Coquette actually a product of a Multiple Personality Disorder?! Whatever the case may be, congrats and you have my vote!

Hi, delurking to say Congratulations! Your blog has my vote. So glad I discovered it not too long ago. Congrats again your majesty, the Royal Coquette.

OF COURSE I'm voting for you. If I can, I'll even cheat and vote more than once.
Just a question however: I saw on the site that there was a fee to be nominated for an award (-95 bucks if I remember correctly). Did you dish out the cash for that or do you have a 'sponsor'? Just curious how it all works...
Do you think David Bowie will read your blog now? Ooh I get excited just thinking about it!!

Congrats ! I hope you win :D
Request: if you do, please send us a pic of the new pj's.

Sammy, maybe she's got herself a sugar blogger for a sponsor.
Congrats on the nomination, Coquette! Where are you going to host your Webby after-party in NYC? :)

Sammy, GEEZ, check out the update. Re: Bowie, I'm pretty much sure he's going to become a regular commentator.
^Imagine Napolean Dynamite voice there.

Thanks for the update, Coquette! By the way, I take all this to mean that Bowie IS your sugar daddy, you slick little hussy!

God I love bowie... but a slinky for a trophy?
Posted by: chaton | 15 April 2005 at 03:39 PM
THANK YOU CHATON. I had a mental block on the word "slinky" for the past 24-hours. I didn't know how to google, "that bouncy 80s toy."
Posted by: Coquette | 15 April 2005 at 03:55 PM
Congratulations Coquette! I'm going to go vote for you. Bon chance.
