homegirl makes good! SF Bay Guardian’s best of the bay 2008 = me!

by Violet Blue on July 30, 2008

I’ll admit I Flickr’d it before posting the brag-gasm here (spank as you please), but here’s my ecstatic comment, “they called me “beloved”! it was quite a surprise, even the photog couldn’t tell me what it was for. I just went for it and hoped for the best… (in print and web).”

I do take seriously, however, the snuzzly-dog-catster gauntlet comment thrown down at me by Sir Rheingold for competing with me for the (2008) SFBG’s “Best Violet Blue” award next year. I am indeed keeping score from this point forward, young man. ;)

Violet Blue

The London Times named Violet Blue "One of the 40 bloggers who really count" and Self Magazine named TinyNibbles one of the “Best Sex Resources for Women.” Blue is an autodidact and pundit on sex and technology, hacking and security, porn for women, privacy and bleeding-edge tech culture. She is a journalist for ZDNet, CBS News, CNET; she's an educator, speaker, crisis counselor, volunteer NGO trainer, and the author and editor of over 40 award-winning books.

5 rowan July 31, 2008 at 6:02 pm: congratulations!

the thing that has been annoying me is reading the comments elsewhere from people who do not seem to grasp that Violet Blue is your given name and not a pseudonym/stage name. of course you needed to make sure there is no confusion about who you are due to your chosen occupation, and an actress in porn flicks is not it.

again, congratulations as you make progress in being you!

7 Scott July 31, 2008 at 6:51 am: Of course you are beloved! Congratulations!
