Redemption Song

satin pajamas 2.jpg
The Second Satin Pajama Awards are on!

Some of you may remember that this site competed in the first European Weblog Awards. It also won, even though I was openly rooting for Petite Anglaise, who had promised to pose in pajamas in the event of her victory. The fact that this site prevented that from happening remains a mark of shame and agony to this day. It also made me one of the most despised men in the blogosphere.

But life is full of second chances, isn’t it? And now, as if on cue, fate has provided me with a fresh opportunity to right all my previous wrongs, undo all the damage I have done, and bring balance back to the force. Our very own Slovenian blogger, La Poulette, is in the running for "Best New Weblog" and has offered to pose in pajamas "smaller than a handkerchief"* if she wins.

Verily I say unto you: it is essential for Slovenia, and for this site’s moral redemption, that she triumphs. That’s why I’m asking you to help make it happen. Quite frankly, she’s up against some very serious competition, and she’s going to need what her good friend Satan once called "a vulgar display of power" in order to win. Here’s what to do:

1) Click here.
2) Scroll down to the category "Best New Weblog,"
3) Find the bubble next to "La Poulette" and click it. Hard. Maybe even grunt a little when you do. Suggested possibilities: "Ugh," "Mmpf," "Aargh," "Zsht," or — if necessary — "Awww, yeah!"

That’s it. Accept my heartfelt thanks in advance, and good luck Poulette! Polls close today at 20:00.

* Actual size may vary. 

UPDATE: Not since American Ninja 4: The Annihilation, starring Michael Dudikoff as the American ninja, has there been such a thorough annihilation of one’s opponents. Thanks to your votes, La Poulette demolished everything in her category and won the award. I feel that my crimes have thereby been absolved, and my sins washed away. As promised, she has posted a picture of herself in a gorgeous satin nightgown, looking like some kind of magically rising "puddle of Poulette." It’s glorious. Heartfelt congrats to her, and thanks to everyone for their support!

    Morning! It could be because I’m still drunk from the previous night, but I fail to see to what does the footnote apply. :)But on a more serious note: apparently you can only vote once. So any of you guys and gals who have access to multiple IP addresses, vote, vote, vote!!!

    Chickens are much overrated these days… :P pengovsky: it will probably work if you delete your cookies, restart your browser and vote again. ;)

    The footnote applies to the size of the PJs in question. I can see that the first asterisk is difficult to spot, though.And for the record: Carniola doesn’t condone multiple voting, or the stuffing of ballot boxes.

    Of course not… but then again - seeing Poullete in her PJs is worth a bent rule or two ;)I sobered up a bit and can see the asterisk now :)

    Hmm, how come Carniola isn’t nominated in any categories? I’m appalled.

    Because Michael expressly asked not to.

    Actually, David said I don’t qualify because Slovenia "isn’t an EU member, or even in Europe."I keed, I keed. What David said.

    Any men in PJs competing?

    Q: "Bhmm, how come Carniola isn’t nominated in any categories? I’m appalled." A: "Because Michael expressly asked not to."Too much modesty, Michael: you’re becoming a true Slovene.Anyway, I loyally followed your orders. (That was before I saw the small print- for which I will have to kill you, I hope you know that.)

    Michael,Aside from being a Gentleman’s Gentleman (and I’m not referring to this),  you are the Voyeur’s Voyeur what with this passion for sleeping garments and all.   But, as you’ve requested, my vote will be posted for La Poulette , becasuse, as the old saying goes, "One chicken in pj’s is better than one chicken in a pot".

    I shall vote for this kind lady…  also bookmark her blog just in case she keeps her promise.

    @DarkoV: or one chicken with a flu, as things would have it nowadays.

    Due to the obligations imposed by pre-election silence, the candidate will refrain from commenting on the matter at this point in time. She will, however, permit herself to grant Mr. Manske with a teary eyed, heartfelt smile of gratitutde.

    And a special version of the already-notorious picture, no doubt (joke) :)))

    I voted for her even though she sort of flamed me once. I did it for you Micheal M!

    Ehhh. Nice pic but still… I foolishly expected a thorough photoshoot rather than just one (though granted very… aestetically pleasing) picture. Hopefully she’s saving that for next year’s awards.
