Guess what. It’s that time of year again
I have the flu, just found two more grey hairs in my left eyebrow
(OK, 3 if we’re really splitting hairs)
and “The Homies” are back!
(actually, they started 5 days ago so I’m kinda getting creamed)
For readers new to my blog in the past year, The Homies are like the blogging world’s “Oscars” and “Slim Paley” is nominated in the “Best Home Design & Inspiration” category. Of course there’s no money or statue involved but it’s really nice to receive recognition for all the time we bloggers invest in writing our blogs.
Now, just because I’m under the weather and getting old and grey, don’t think I’m looking for sympathy votes. Simply hoping that if you DO enjoy reading “Slim Paley” you will please take a minute to register your support by voting for me.
The 6 blogs with the most nominations move on to the finals. We can do this!! Voting closes at 11:59EST Feb. 8th.
I Pinky Swear you will not receive any unwanted emails from Apartment Therapy.
Could the 3rd year be a charm for me?? That’s up to you!
I’ll be back with a post very shortly.
Thank you!!

I have voted for you, 3rd time in a row. Please get well soon!
Just got back from voting for you Slim. Hope that you are feeling better soon. Vote 113 is me.
I have my grey eyebrows tinted! I am having highlights now on the root area of my new short cut and am going to embrace the tinsel as they grow in. The eyebrows will not be allowed to go grey just yet!
Good luck!
Thank you B.H.! I commend you for embracing the ‘tinsel’ . I think I too might go that route before succumbing to ‘Single process AND highlights’ SO much maintenance! (that being said, getting more highlights on Friday 🙂 ) Oh Vanity, cruel, cruel mistress…
Thank you Terri- you really have always been there for me since the beginning and I truly appreciate it!!
I just voted for ya!!! Hope you feel better SOON!!!
I will be more than happy to vote for you just as soon as I see that recipe for chocolate banana cake on my tablet screen.
Yes!! Voter 111. Feel better soon!
Done…voted! Hope you feel better soon!
Just voted. Hope you feel better! We missed you! xx h

Hi Slim,
Poor, young thing…just keep plucking. But as a much more mature (my word for older) person, it’s not so bad…with age comes wisdom and a bit of comfortable indifference, the good kind. I’ve seen you pictures, you look fabulous, dahling.
I’ve voted for you…you can make it this year. BTW, I’m waaay behind you, will you vote for me too?
Get well soon, you have to be ready for the Oscar/Homies.
Karen
I hope I did it correctly. Your blog is such fun. Fingers crossed!

It DOES does…..last, not dies ….sorry! It lasts for longer than you think it should. Take care.

I voted for you and isnt it weird that we get gray hairs in our eyebrows? What’s up with that?
Hi Slim – I can’t believe you’re not winning yet – your blog is the most lovely by far. Good luck with the votes. Keep them coming in. SH
I voted for you Slim. Your blog so cheers me, I hope you win!
I just voted for Slim Paley! 🙂 going to bed now!!
I love you triple much, tons!! Thanks for the beautiful card!!! So cool you kept the stationary all those years!!! I think it is so elegant and I just love it! Very special! Thank you!!!
Cant wait to see you and Weeks Thursday! Will be fun!!
Love, Dolly
I voted too! I just got my own blog on here and am still “thinking” about what to write. Writing is hard. Get well soon!
Thanks Gwen and Good Luck with your new blog!!
Thank you for the heads up to support my favorite blogger! Fingers crossed and a prayer! 🙂
I’m vote 221!!! Took quite some work to get it to count. Apparently I have voted 2 times in previous years and could NOT remember passwords. Oh, well, started a new email address and new password. Anything to get Slim Paley the No 1 spot!!!
Hope you feel better!
Thanks SO much for hanging in there and voting KR. I know you’ve also been here with me from the very beginning and it’s much appreciated!
PS. Apartment Therapy will send you a link for a new password if you’ve forgotten the previous year’s (like WHO remembers a password a year later??!)
Very happily nominated you just now.
Just voted- first time. I even registered so I could vote. Does that count as two votes then?
Feel better soon! Hot baths, vitamin c.
I’m vote #200! Good luck.
Actually…there is a whopping $50 for the winner! 🙂 You have a lovely blog, good luck!
I would love to vote for you,but I am so old I can’t seem to figure out how to do it. You are the post I wait for.
I cast my vote for the wittiest, creative, beautiful and inspiring blog. That would be yours! I hope you recover quickly. The “beast” had me in its grips for weeks on end.
The places gray hair will grow is just too cruel. And they like to bring their friends along! They’re like bloody cat whiskers. WTF? Takes goop to keep the little suckers from sticking straight out.
Hope you feel better very soon.
Thank you so much for voting for me W.S.L.!
Seriously- the industrial strength hairs- (Men, please look away right now) I use old fashioned moustache wax. It’s like super glue.
Hi Slim, Thanks for reminding us about the Homies. I just weighed in for you as #242. If the blogosphere has any sense at all, this will be your year!
I hope you get over the flu and feel better soon. I really don’t want to get it and feel like Lady MacBeth with all the hand washing I’m doing.
Take care, Ruth
YAY, Slim! We love you.
Wow way to go Slim, you’re climbing up the ladder pretty fast!
FYI -if you voted last year but forget your password, just put your e-mail address in this link and they’ll immediately send you a link to reset it…takes 2 seconds!

You’ve got my vote! Off to do it now. Good luck! And feel better soon!
Ok Slim..this is the year you win..can just feel it in the air!!!
Everyone needs to get the word out to go vote for your blog..I did!
And hope you are better soon!! No fun being sick. 🙂
Done Madame Paley. And wishing you zinc-filled energy to get back to your healthy self à tout de suite!
Your sense of humor and great eye deserve a win! You have my vote- best of luck!
YOU ARE NOW TIED FOR THIRD PLACE!!!!!! Hoping my third year of voting is also charmed! I’m such a fan, Slim ~ it was an easy nomination. You inspire, entertain and encourage me every time you design/write one of your wonderful posts, and this is my thank you. You are insanely talented, and seem so fun and kind. You DESERVE this award!!
Thank you Phyllis!! That is so sweet. Fingers crossed!
Hoping you are back on your feet quickly and heading over to vote for you!
Love your aesthetic, so I was happy to vote for you!
Voted last night from Australia Slim, and I don’t normally ever participate in online voting. But I love your blog. Good luck and hope you’re feeling better soon!
One of the possible advantages of being older is the declining eyesight. When I look in the mirror without glasses I don’t see the grey hairs in my eyebrows and the lines are less noticeable! Being a glass half full kind of gal! Best wishes, Pamela
I voted last night, and you are climbing up in the standings every time I check!!
Good luck – Kate
You have my vote Slim Paley!
THANK YOU EVERYONE, SO MUCH!! You do a girl proud.
I sincerely appreciate each & every vote you are casting for me. You are AWESOME!!!

Of course I’ll vote for you. Feel better, Slim!
Done!

is this a tax write off?………………me sick too 🙁 I know I must have gotten it from you or was it typphoidterri (who voted only 3 times, c’mon)…….. my homegirl needs no homies…i am having a hot toddy (just cuz your cold all the time and a hot toddy for me is like jumpin in a volcano) in your honor of blogness of all blogs! if it makes you feel better, my eyebrows grow to over an inch long, almost as long as my chin hair 🙂
