Friendly Blogger Award


Casey at Noir Girl has honoured me with a Friendly Blogger Award. Not sure if this recognises the friendliness of the blog or of the blogger, or of the award, but it's much appreciated all the same.

Scoot over to Casey's now to see an art piece consisting of, and I quote, "1,000 cupcake papers strung on thin wires and then inserted into a floral foam sphere". Can't be done, you say? Photographic evidence awaits you here...

Meanwhile, with my usual proviso that if you're not into this sort of thing do by all means ignore it, I hereby forward this recognition of friendliness within, without and to some degree betwixt and beyond the sphere of bloggerosity to:

1. Gloria at Rooting For Laughton, whose friendliness towards Charles Laughton has resulted in this elaborate and engrossing site where all Laughton addicts can feel at home.

2. Mykal at Radiation Cinema!, whose friendliness extends to giant locusts, 50 foot women and brains from Planet Arous, along with other even less adequately house-trained individuals.

3. Miss Sandra at Musings From Harmonie House, who has gone out of her way to create not a site so much as an environment, where sights and sounds and thoughts combine to produce an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation - if ever there was a friendly blog, it is this.

That's it. Big piece on Frank Tuttle coming up next. Cheers!

I love the photo. :)

Your interpretation of the award is wonderful. I wish I had thought to use it like this!

Thanks very much for the plug of my art!

(Hey, are we ever going to get the chance to vote on your headers? I want to get to see the ones I missed!)

Okay, then, I'll put them all in my next post and the one that gets the most votes wins!

Mattew: Both you and Movietone deserve an award, not only for friendliness but also, in the case of your blog, for being so well written and highly interesting. It's just stuffed with great cinema stuff! (I'm sure you are highly interesting, too, and probably pretty well written).

Thanks for the nod. I'll try to continue the tradition of friendliness!

I cannot wait for your Frank Tuttle piece. Please give too much attention to This Gun For Hire. -- Mykal

... and that'll be all, and while the charlady here is busy mopping up my copious tears of happiness, I'll ask? Do I have to tag a number of bloggers, too?

Matthew Coniam said...

You don't have to do anything, just keep a candle burning in your window for Charles and Elsa.

Thanks! I'll update my blog with a wee post celebrating the award ;D
