Oh my god. What the fuck. I'm actually lost for words. I don't know what to say, seriously. You know, I didn't really came to the awards hoping for a win because all I was looking for was a lot of fun and great company - which we got, it was really awesome and chaotic. Francesco, you're so damn funny, your humor was truly the peak of the night, each post got funnier, I've never had much fun laughing and reading your posts. It was joyful to read ultrablvd's posts as well, your humor is also amazing. Please, you two must win an award next year!!!
I love this place. I really wish I had joined earlier when I discovered this website in 2020. The time didn't feel right then though. Here, I truly feel myself. All weird and delusional, maybe it's that way because it's the Internet, most of us are here behind our screens with Lana as our profile photo icon, all of us either smiling, laughing, crying and vibing, sharing our love and admiration for a one certain person. That's the closest we could get to world peace. All of my life I had waited for a perfect place like this. And I'm so happy that I found it. This place changed my life and I think it made me a better person as well.
Looking all those awards I've won, I really do not think I deserved to win them (maybe except Most Active because I spend embarrassing amount of time here posting and commenting) because I haven't been here as a member for a long time and I feel that other members were more deserving of that because they have defined this place and I admire them so much. They make this place whole. Many of my fellow nominees in different categories were people I already loved when I was just a lurker. To be nominated alongside them was already a huge honor because perhaps they were the true reason I finally joined the forum.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who voted for me in this category or any other category I was nominated. It's heartwarming and sometimes flattering as well some people here were thinking of me while nominating and/or voting for me in those award categories. I'm very grateful for the warm welcome and support I have received since I joined this forum a bit over a year and a half ago. You're all so kind and friendly which is really heartwarming, even the winners of the rudest and dramatic awards are inside all awesome and cool, the pinnacle of the forum's humor and drama - which without I can't really imagine this place. The world leaders should all learn something from you everyone because I feel like this is our happy place which could make this world better. Like, the passion and commitment for this community is really admirable.
Shoutout to the fellow nominees of Lipster Of The Year Award:
Pantene123 - you're so cool, you were truly the highlight of 2024 here. I'll never forget those jaw-dropping moments where we were reading all of these riveting insights on Lana's unreleased music which without the fandom would be so different. Your humor is also great, keep up the good work!
Mer - you're so iconic. You're a true superstar of this fandom. I love reading your status updates and your endless support for Taylor Swift is a great example for being loyal fan and ignoring all the haters. Congratulations for all your sweeps, so deserved!
Dark Angel - you sweet beautiful soul, I love your enchanting presence here, I admire your love and knowledge for Lizzy Grant, I have learned a lot about Lana from you.
Elle - I can't imagine this place without you. You're the rock of this forum. A goddess. You've carried this place for almost 10 years and your work is worth all the admiration. It's an honor for Lana to have a fan like you, I really hope you'll meet her this year as well! Congratulations for your deserved sweeps as well!
Also, some highlights and stunning moments of those awards - I'm so fucking happy for venice biotch, she came and swept the awards she was truly deserving of. Your designed rats are truly the cultural phenomenon of this site for years to remember. I was rooting for the thread to win since its inception. BethDufreneByTheBayouByYou winning their second consecutive award for Best Username shows how amazingly creative some users can be. I'm so happy that The Stargirl Pinky won the Bartender Award because this whole time they were praying to win this award and when they deservingly won they were so happy, it made me really joyful as well. I'm so happy that DeadSeaOfMercury and Pico Ocean Boulevard won the Underrated Member awards, they're the people I have already admired before actually joining the forum. Ivory Almonds winning their awards was a special moment as well, I can't imagine the site without them. Today, there were so many other winners here as well who truly deserved their winner and runner-up awards, I'm so happy for you. I'm happy for all the people who were nominated as well, these were all deserved and I hope to see you and other people nominated next year too! This speech is getting so long, sorry for being too sentimental sometimes, if I performed this onstage I think I would have been kicked out already, lol. But nevermind, my endless gratefulness and joy is never enough to put into words.
I'm honored to share this award with all of the fellow nominees - @Pantene123 @Mer @Dark Angel and @Elle - you were the ones to truly define the community and the forum in 2024. You're all such gorgeous people inside and out, so kind and friendly, also with great taste in music. All of your posts were worth waiting and reading for. I love you all so much to the moon & back and I'm sending all of my kisses and hugs to you.
in my platforms i hit the floor
fell face down, didn't help my brain out
then the baby came before i found
the magic, how to keep her happy
i never was the fantasy of what you wanted me to be
don't judge me so harsh little girl
so you got a playboy mommy
