I was very excited to get the “Superior Scribbler” award from gorgeous blogger Lizzi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"scribbleraward\"

I humbly accept this lovely graphic.<\/p><\/div>\n

As I read her post, I thought, “Cool, she picked me!” and scrolled down to see the rest of her list. Then I realized I WAS her list. It’s all about ME! Okay, in reality, Lizzi was too tired to think of anyone else. But who cares? I still feel like Sally Field on Oscar night.<\/p>\n

My blog is normally a place where tags\/awards come when they’re tired<\/a> and ready to shuffle off this Interweb<\/a> coil<\/a>, but I can’t let this honor go unrecognized. Write this day down in your calendars, peeps! The day that I play by the rules. And the rules are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends. (About to do it.)<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he\/she has received The Award. (Done.)<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his\/her blog, and link to This Post<\/a>, which explains The Award. (Yep.)<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit said post and add his\/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we’ll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor! (Did that too. Cool widget!)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My five awardees are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. La Belette Rouge<\/a> for being a brilliant, funny writer who takes hours out of her day to give me good advice, which usually includes, “Don’t send that angry email.”<\/li>\n
    2. ENC of Observationmode<\/a> for the same reasons as Belette.<\/li>\n
    3. Jennine from The Coveted<\/a>. If all her efforts on behalf of independent fashion bloggers<\/a> don’t make her as rich as she deserves … well, this award will be pretty poor consolation for that!<\/li>\n
    4. 39th and Broadway, whom I met yesterday at the fabulous Dream Sequins event,<\/a> for saying something like, “I wish I could be as bitchy as you.” I’m proud to be setting the standards for bitchiness.<\/li>\n
    5. Midtown Girl<\/a>, whom I also met yesterday, because she’s the cutest cutie-pie that was ever baked. I mean, she’s like a pie baked by whoever it is who would bake cuteness. I don’t mean baked as in high. Not that I drug tested her or anything. Wait, what am I talking about?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Enjoy, y’all!<\/p>\n

      UPDATED SEPT. 10 TO ADD: Most days, I live vicariously through myself like the man in the Dos Equis commercial.
      \n<\/object><\/p>\n

      Today I’ll make an exception and live vicariously through gorgeous blogger Miss J<\/a> of Marbella Style, who will be enjoying Madrid’s Fashion’s Night Out. I’m delighted that it was one of my posts<\/a> that alerted Miss J to the event and beyond flattered by the kind words written about me. Keep it up, Miss J! The check is in the mail. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
