A Vote For Spangly Knickers

So, my readers, I have been nominated for 2010 Bloggies Australian/New Zealander Blogger of the Year.

And now I know why they say what a joy it is to be nominated. It really is. So thank you so so SO much to all who have voted for me. And to those who haven't voted, go to the Bloggies site here and vote for me. Or vote for someone else. I'm just thrilled to be shortlisted.

I do not expect to win. I say that with conviction and authority. I do not have a strong history of winning things. Of course, as many of you know, a long time ago I won the lead role in a TV mini-series, but that led to a bizarre haircut, extreme weight gain and public humiliation, so it didn't end in unqualified triumph.

Still, this isn't a sob story. I did win something once. As a nine year old child I won a train set in a rafffle. I was delighted, as I had always wanted a train set. Unfortunately, the track was round, and was missing one of the links, so that the train would ride 300 degrees around the track and then fall off. This shocking disappointment no doubt led to many ongoing emotional problems, and an extreme distruct of rail travel.

So fair readers, fear not if I do not win. Disappointment sits comfortably with me, like a torn pair of undies. I may long for some new ones, but should I not get them, I can shove the old ones down resolutely in my jeans, put on a happy face, and pretend they're not there.

But if I do win, I shall dance around in a circle in my spangly new knickers for all to see.

For at least 300 degrees, anyway.

  1. Well, I've voted for you. TWICE. (The benefit of two emails.)

    You deserve to win. You are the BEST writer and you write the FUNNIEST posts I have EVER read.

    Yep - I am an unabashed FAN.

    That, and I'm sucking up to you so that next time you're on the radio..you mention me. ;)

    Anyway...even if you don't win..it doesn't matter. We'll all still be reading anyway... XXX

  3. Te he! Well I am feeling a little chuffed here too because I love your blog - it gets me through the day laughing out loud. Laughter really is the best medicine! I also asked my friends to vote for you on my facebook page so hopefully some of those votes came from some friends of mine.

    And again I have voted for you. Good luck to you Kerri. You deserve every success!!

  4. After all your wild allegations about me using cupcakes as bribery (all completely unfounded... except for that thing on my blog where I promise everyone who votes for me a cupcake), there you are promising to dance around in your new spangly knickers!

    Shit, even I'd vote for you to see that.

    PS. That Kerri is soooo hot right now.

  6. I reckon that you should wear a spangly bikini. With boots. Then I could do a Kerri Spesh on Lawandshoes.

    Good luck hen! As long as either you or the NDM win I shall be happy.

  8. Ooooh, and another brilliant post from Ms Kerri, you guys are tearing me apart, why ? Why ? WHY ? I love your blog and NDMs and I am stoked that you both made the short list. Now I shall patiently sit and wait for cash or cupcake bribes to arrive in the mail so that I can cast my vote. x
