Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work and congrats for a job well done.
and what was this based on coz im raising my eyebrows
I’m not impressed, at all. I agree with Jen. Next time consider opening this up to the shop’s customers and doing some major advertising of the competition. If blog owners are the ones who chose and picked the contestents and winners, then this doesn’t really tell us anything other then what we already knew, and we knew by reading their blogs and seeing the same group of people blogged time and time again.
The “Best menswear” category is really frightening, my favorite menswear designer is not even listed, yet a new shop with minimal mens attire is, that’s very odd.
Nice effort but this should have been called “Selective Bloggers Choice Awards for Selected designers”
[...] just wanted to thank everyone who voted for me in the 2007 Bloggers Choice Awards! Where much to my surprise ~silentsparrow~ won awards for Best Goth Clothing & Best Period [...]
Leif:
When this first started months ago, Tanya invited all the bloggers she knew and announced it on the blog for those she didn’t. Of couse there is no real way to get information out to everyone, that’s just the nature of SL. If someone would have been turned down for the ability to vote, it would be a drama fest loud enough that most would know about it. So “selected bloggers” doesn’t actually work.
Then the bloggers were asked to submit nominations. So the “selected designers” were from those who were voting not a super secret list of friends. Trust me cause I don’t talk to anyone yet I won.
While it would have been nice to have a people’s choice awards in the all same catagories, the Book Sisters had to have put a lot of effort into this as is. They didn’t get paid to do it, nor did they have to.
So.. thanks for all your hard work and appologies for my drunken self arriving after it ended. Congrats to all the winners and runners up!
@Luth “When this first started months ago, Tanya invited all the bloggers she knew and announced it on the blog for those she didn’t”
*Smax head* I overlooked the meaning of “Bloggers choice award,” So this was just a thing among the bloggers, no wonder I didn’t hear anyone talking about it.
I nominate Leif as the Coordinator for the 2008 People’s Fashion Awards.
We look forward to the ceremony with great anticipation.

Hi,
Nice done. How to sing up to the fashion designers list? it is private and closed or public?
Best Regards,
shaq
I find this Bloggers Choice Awards a bit of a joke as it appears to be a popular friends list than the actual true real best designers.
Why is the best overall designer in Second Life left off the list (House of Nyla)?
I can tell you why, it’s because many of you are jealous!!!
No one in Second Life grabs the Real Life press like her.
She is in the top 5 most popular avatars in Second Life period.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for putting up this list.
Keep making the best designs,Nyla !!!!
I am a huge fan, as many are !!
I didn’t notice FashCon was in there til just now! Eep
Thank you Bookies and everyone else! <3 <4 <5
Best of or popularity contest ? I looked at the winners in many categories and my jaw dropped with all honesty.Not to say anyone that did win these awards is a terrible designer but a few I saw take awards and nominations several times where almost laughable.Do the Bloggers get out less than the rest of Sl ? There are so many wonderful designers out there these are all just the same people that we hear about everyday that have not put anything new out in a dogs age and many of them boring.Sorry this is just a over dramatized friends list or popularity contest there is nothing unique or special here maybe you can give this contest a go next year and even try broadening your horizons there is much better talent out there than many listed here.BIG YAWN
