The Siren "Has Been Spared the Sensational and Commercial Publicity..."

Many, many thanks to the Siren's patient readers, and all those who voted in the Weblog Awards 2007. Congratulations to the winner, The Cool Hunter, a beautiful eyeful of a blog. The Siren is most happy with her fourth-place finish, considering her usual daily traffic could fit into a Manhattan studio with enough room left over for George Peppard and an orange tabby.

Extra thanks go to James Wolcott, Lance(lot) Mannion, Jon Swift , Diary of a Heretic , Ivan G. Shreve of Thrilling Days of Yesteryear , Dan Leo, Annieytown of Blogdorf Goodman and Operator_99 of Allure. Jon and Kathleen of Diary of a Heretic also placed high in their categories; as Jon so rightly puts it, "I don't think of us as losers; I think of us as victory challenged." Thanks also to the Jay, for being a swell blogger and one hell of a good sport. The Siren is blogrolling him and plans to stop by his place more often. The Rambo post alone would guarantee that.

The Siren will be interrupting her Joan Fontaine hobbyhorse to post in the comedy blogathon currently whooping it up over at Newcritics. Stay tuned, and thanks again.

Above--the Siren wanted a picture of Margo sitting stoic and glamourous through the Sarah Siddons awards, but oh well.
