When blogs first took off all those eons ago, anonymity was one of the most topical discussions surrounding the whole online affair: do you let people in on your personal life?; should people be able to identify you based on the pictures you post?, and so on and so forth. Whilst recognition was never my principal aim in starting Male-Mode.com back in 2007, I do sometimes wish my lecturers read it so they might consider extending my essay deadlines…
Sadly, they don’t, and I’ve been forced to postpone a thank-you post ’til now due to theories on dystopic images of cinematic cityscapes…
Anyway, the results for this year’s Online Fashion 100 2012 public vote in assoc. with Vogue are in, and I am so pleased, humbled and almost hysterically baffled to say that I have been named this year’s Top Blogger. For fear of sounding like a gushing Oscar-recipient no one can bear to watch, I’ll keep this as succinct as possible: thanks to all of you who generously gave your time to vote, to Leon Bailey Green of Directorsof.com for the initial nomination, to Dolly Jones and others at Vogue for their participation in the event, to all of you who contribute via Q+As, taking photos, providing press images etc. and to all of you who deem this smattering of opinions, thoughts and experiences worthwhile reading.
Plans for the New Year are exciting, and I do feel a bit chuffed that there will be plenty of you to share the fruits with.
