Top to Bottom's Glammy Awards Seal of Approval

Several nights ago as I settled down to rest, I was greeted with a pleasant but definitely unexpected surprise...

I have an endorsement for the Glammy Awards!

I was beyond flattered to discover that GaySocialites.com has endorsed Lucky Charming for Best Burlesque Performer! HOW AWESOME IS THAT? It's not for Best Blogger, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. I don't know what their readership is like, but I really hope that this impacts the decisions of some other voters. I definitely have more support this year than I did last, so I'm hoping I'll achieve my year-long dream of being nominated for a Glammy Award and losing by a milestone!

This announcement really kicked me into gear regarding the fulfilling of my ballot, and I thought that maybe it would be nice to present some endorsements of my own. I am admitting right off the bat that most of my nominees are friends of mine, or people who have supported me or at least acknowledged my existence at some point in time, but I also did my best to make less predictable choices, because I think there are a ton of people who deserve more recognition than they get. For the Glammy Awards of 2012, I hearby nominate (and encourage you to as well...) the following:
