The Cosmo Blog Awards 2011

A picture of a snap taken with my new blogger buddies in the photo booth – Bethany Arched Eyebrow, Jazzy Elizabeth Hiven and Gemma Retro Chick.

Last night I attended the Cosmo Blog Awards Ceremony at 24 Kingly, it was full of Cosmo cocktails, Cosmo cupcakes, awards-fabulous outfits, goodie bags and of course, bloggers.

As a tattoo blogger I was more interested in the tattoos, than the awards-fabulous outfits…here’s a couple I spotted in the crowds.

Unfortunately, I didn’t win (boo hoo), but thanks so much to everyone who voted for me. I really appreciate it and feel honoured that I was nominated and shortlisted. I tried to drown my sorrows with a Cosmo or two, but the cocktails were mocktails apparently (tut, tut Cosmo).

And here’s a couple of papped photos I found on the Cosmo website…I feel like a Z-list celeb!

Alice and Retro chick — Another cocktail daaaaaarling? But, please can I have it with vodka this time

Cosmo Blog Awards induced Insomnia

Dear Diary,

Tonight I read the shortlist for the Cosmo Blog Awards and my early night to get my beauty sleep is out of the window.

For the past month, Cosmo readers, blog followers, friends, family, boyfriends, pets and anyone else forced to click on the link, have been voting for their favourite (and hopefully soon to be award-winning) bloggers. It wasn’t until this evening that the enormity of it all hit me.

I have been up against some stiff competition (THERE’S 11 OTHER BLOGGERS IN THE LIFESTYLE CATEGORY – and they’re all bloody good), and now I have realised I have to meet all these amazing people tomorrow night at the awards ceremony. Not only that, but I find out if I have won (gracious loser face at the ready) and I also have no idea what to wear (SOMEONE PLEASE DONATE AN AMAZING DRESS TO THE CAUSE!). AND, not forgetting this award is being given by COSMO magazine, one of the best girls’ mags on the planet, a magazine that I read through my teenage years and beyond.

To ease my mild panic, I have been looking for tattoo inspiration. And, I stumbled across these two beautiful tattoo-inspired artworks. Both are fitting for my situation right now. I can’t sleep and I have always followed my heart when writing this blog.

Th’ink grew out of my passion for tattoos and the lack of realistic inspiration for girls like me who want to get tattooed. I will only blog about the things I love.

Now to sleep (I hope)…

Lots of love

Alice Th’ink

Cosmopolitan blog awards

I feel extremely honoured to be shortlisted for a Cosmo Blog Award, in the Lifestyle section.

I have been writing about tattoos for a number of years now and I would love to see an alternative blog, such as Th’ink, be a winner in a fashion-dominated world.

As tattoos gain increasing currency in contemporary culture, my blog mimics the chic aspirations of girls just like me. Those who use tattoos as a way of expressing themselves, but are not necessarily completely covered, and see the beauty of the art from and the sub-cultures surrounding it.

Tattoos are becoming more fashionable, I am here to make sure people get good tattoos and think before they ink themselves for life. If you have read my blog, enjoyed it and agree with the messages I stand for, please vote for Th’ink and help me put good tattoo art in the heart of fashion culture.
