Why Not? The 2007 Performancing Blog Awards Nominations (Need Write-Ins)

Okay, this is so shameless, but I’m going to ask you germs and disinfectants (which is which??? girls and boys????) to play along if you like or have time. Performancing.com is holding their annual 2007 Performancing Blog Awards and are calling for “write-in” nominations. I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning this, but promotion is promotion…and it’s a chance to get more people aware of Bette’s presence on-line. Since my site is part blog/part fansite…I think we fit the bill to participate. It’s a win/win for all of us to get Bette’s name, show, enviromental work, and such to new viewers. Plus it feeds my rapidly shrinking ego…which shrinks, you know, other parts…. LOL (i didn’t say that!!!)

Love, Mister D

PS: Of course there’s more info at…. Continue reading
