So did everyone watch the greatest awards show on earth last night? In case you missed it, they're still clearing away the empty bottles and tasty canapés here, from the Great Canadian F-word Blog Awards!
What a trip this has been, organized by pale and Prole at A Creative Revolution on very short notice and then carried through with such wit and verve and nerve. A lot of us knew there were good femblogs out there, but I think we surprised ourselves at just how many would answer the call when it was put out -- how many, how groovy, how deserving, all of them, of this recognition. Congratulations to the winners, the runners-up, but above all to all the nominees, to everyone who joined in the fun, and thanks to two very savvy media fems, Heather Mallick and Antonia Zerbisias, for introducing our awards show and just generally for getting it.
Ok: I've been ducking the snickers long enough. "You won for WHAT?!?" Yeah, well, I know. There's this category called "This Is Everyone's Favourite Title for a Category: Never Mind the Nominees." That's the one I won. Thank you; thank you very much.
Afterthought: Oh, and how could I forget? Special congratulations to the winner of a very special category. Canadian feminist bloggers have spoken: the most Regressive Progressive in the country is ... Michael Ignatieff!
Congratulations, skdadl!
(Oh, and Iggy, of course!)
