The "Lezzys" -- it had to happen
In my wandering around the Blogosphere, I just tumbled a blog-of-blogs called The Lesbian Lifestyle. AND, auspiciously (as my Indian friends say, quite frequently!), they happened to be flogging their awards* for quality in bloggery:

And, for the 4th year running (who fucking KNEW?!), their culture award goes to...the envelope, please. Dorothy Surrenders!

For the 2nd year in a row, the humor award went to a charming blog by a girl named Grace!
http://gracethespot.com/
The award for best lesbian political blog went to one I read frequently.
http://www.feministing.com/
And the delicious category (aren't they all?) of sex/erotica writing went to another blogger I happen to know -- Sugarbush!
http://www.sugarbutch.net/
There were a lot of other categories, but these grabbed me. The only one I didn't know was Grace, and I plan to wander happily on that site as soon as I finish scribbling here!

* I also tripped over another lesbian awards thing, but it came out (so to speak) last May -- I'm NOT nearly as timely as I was in discovering this site (that is, TLL). The award-giver was the lezzie entertainment site "After Ellen;" this was their THIRD annual Hot100 list, led off by the phenom Portia di Rossi (the RL Ellen's girlfriend, as just about the whole universe knows by now).
