Being an ~authority~ (?) on all things .com, we once again threw our Blogster Awards to praise those daring souls who are willing to put it all online and face the wrath of public scrutiny.
Lee Lin Chin, Marc Fennell + P.TV’s founders, Oscar and Chris, were discharged with the task of deciding who was the best-of-the-best. Have a gander at the process they used to select the winners in this lovely vid:
It all came to a head last night at the fabulous Catalina, located in Sydney’s Rose Bay. Pommery champagne was bottle poppin, DJ Grassy was laying down the bangers and canapés were in abundance – there was even a fucking oyster bar. Lee Lin was looking dapper AF in her chainmail-chic number. She also gave a scathing lecture on why she wouldn’t be taking a selfie with us peasants. #LLC4President.
The nominees assembled were the crème de la crème of everything digital, and they fought to the death in hopes of walking away with a trophy.
THERE WAS DRAMA.
THERE WAS PASSION.
THERE WERE RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE PRESENT.
Kweens of the game, Kayla Itsines (lifestyle nominee) and Mimi Elashiry (fashion), just casually hangin’.
Sketchshe’s Shae-Lee Shackleford, Lana Kington and Madison Lloyd blinding us with their beauty.
Food nominee Andy Allen hanging out with his BTS squad.
IT WAS A GODDAMN BLOOD-BATH.
Without further ado, the winners of this year’s Blogster Awards are . . .
