My fabulous nieces turn up in the most unexpected places. One of them is in the shortlist for Cosmopolitan’s Fun Fearless Females 2009 awards. I’m not surprised to discover that I hadn’t heard of most of the other people on the short list. None of the bloggers, for example, have crossed my radar– I went for a look and understood why, but I won’t go on about that. My niece Paula is on the Authors shortlist – along with the formidable Chloe Hooper and a number of others who have been invisible to me until now, though I don’t expect my ignorance has caused them much heartache.
I cast my vote in a number of categories. Why don’t you go and cast yours? The good thing is you’re not restricted to the names they’ve listed. You can add your own. Perhaps there’ll be a write-in landslide for Lowitja O’Donoghue in the Inspirational Role Model category.
Me fail? I fly!
