Never Is the Next New Thing

I Am the Fashion Blogger of the People

by

The late Tip O’Neill, a longtime Speaker of the House, once said, “All politics is local.” And I am the local representative for all you bloggers and lurkers in this small corner of the blogosphere.

I come here every day, including weekends, and do my very best to make you laugh soda out your nose as often as possible. I visit your blogs (I have 200+ on my Google Reader!) to encourage your wardrobe/artistic/writing/baking efforts. I leave comments as often as I can so you feel appreciated. Other bloggers spend their time savaging people’s clothing choices or, alternatively, gushing over people who look great because they have special access to designers. Do those bloggers ever take you out to dinner when you’re passing through their hometown? Do they visit your blog to tell you that you did a good job matching three different prints together, or applying your red lipstick, or frosting a cupcake? Do they care about your DIY-studded boots or bleached jeans? I think not! But I care. That’s why you should vote every 24 hours for me to win the Best Fashion Blogger award. Just click the graphic below to vote again.

The 2008 Weblog Awards

I am not like Caroline Kennedy, who can’t be bothered to answer anyone’s questions and thinks she should get a senate seat just because her name is known. I am willing to shake your hand and kiss your baby … or, if you prefer, kiss your hand and shake your baby. I will also answer your questions. Feel free to ask questions in the comment section of this post, and, in my next post, I will answer all of them, excluding any that are totally fucking insane.

UPDATED TO ADD: Thank you to campaign volunteer Katrocket for pointing out that a vote for me is a vote for boobs.

UPDATED TO ADD: Thank you to campaign volunteer Tessa Scoffs for the link. I will publicly thank and link to all campaign volunteers who link or tweet me. Will those Caroline Kennedy-style blogs do that for you? Nope. Ask not what you can do for a blog; ask what a blog will do for you!

UPDATED TO ADD: Thanks to ENC for tweeting me.

  3. Its true, you had provide me another lol today with your comment (there’s still a long, long time to go before twats are shown on Cheapskate Chic, ha) I have voted.

  4. thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog! 🙂 Love the name, eh? I have a pekie too. She’s black and named Jagr. Laughing soda out of my nose is totally IMPOSSIBLE. HA! It’ll have to be tea, snort… I’m voting. now.

  10. As soon as the 24-hr period expires for me, I’ll vote for you again, I promise. After a speech like that, how can I not? 🙂

  11. Just wanted to say, you’re 100% correct (as usual). I’m always delighted when I see a comment from you, because it does make me feel appreciated. If I had a baby, you could totally shake it… gently! You can count on my vote 1/24h 🙂

    Extra bonus: the word verification just now is BEMYCAT 😀

  18. Dang, well said! I mean, which fug girl is going to send me stockings sans cat hair? Neither, bitches!

    and i had no idea you could vote twice, whoaz!

  19. and my boss just had us all watch part of the Caroline NY1 interview where she says 168 “you knows” in 30 minutes.

  20. Well I had a little VOTEWENDY mention in my most recent post so if you’d please get blogger to fix the internal errors occuring when I attempt to download my images, then of course I will aid you in your campaign 😉

    You have my vote xx

  23. Daily voting is such a great concept – It’s like Groundhog Day! I’ve got you, babe!

  28. This is the best vote for me blog post I have ever read. Most people just think you’ll votefor them because they said “vote for me mmkay”. i like speeches. I will definitely vote for you. but, i’ve said that already! =)

  29. I voted for you! Not only are you funny, but your blog is one of the smartest style blogs, if the smartest one, I have read. I love your history posts and you reconnected me to that Wu Zetian theme song after 20 years. And you think Richard Belzer is hot. And you posted the video to “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime” — the greatest Paul McCartney Christmas song of all time. And you made a dirty drunk uncle reference on Christmas Eve (it is my firm belief that we all have at least one pervy uncle). I could go on and on. Good luck — you deserve it!

  30. It is always my pleasure to serve.

    This is the best stump speech ever!

    My twisted self loves “I am willing to shake your hand and kiss your baby … or, if you prefer, kiss your hand and shake your baby.”

  31. such a hilarious post “kiss your hand or shake your baby”…that had me laughing so much. and i already did vote for u and danny. 😉

  33. Hey, WendyB. I’m upset with your standing in the vote, so I’ve mentioned the chance to vote on my own blog just now. I’m wishing you bookoodles of votes, soon!

  35. If you win, what will your first official act as Fashion Blogger of 2008 be?

    Also, your birthday gift is still in the works! I promise I haven’t forgotten! I’ve just been procrastinating.

  38. I’m voting often, and telling everyone I know to vote often, unfortunately I don’t know 5,000 people like the fug girls…
