You have my vote in all the categories I could find you listed....but it's gonna be an uphill battle to get the recognition you deserve when that entire awards system is based solely on the UMD community, which is 75% oriented towards towards messy fans and probably less than 25% of the wetlook fans visit UMD on a regular basis. Just look at the message traffic for what is on the MESSY message board each day, versus how little message traffic you see on their WETLOOK message board each day. Comparing their 2 forums, one would conclude that 90% of the folks are messy fans, cos less than 10% of the daily message traffic goes on the wetlook forum...thats cos the majority of the wetlook fans don't visit UMD...they are RIGHT HERE.

When you consider all the fine wetlook sites (like Wetlook Unlimited, Wet Kahuna) that we all know so well...that were not even mentioned in the nominations...their nomnations are about as silly as Martin Scorsesee (probably the greatest American film director of all time) who has never won an Oscar.....or Rod Stewart...one of the greatest legends in the music industry...who has never won a Grammy.

This is not really "The WAM Awards"...it should really be called what it is...this is really "The UMD Awards".

The stats have good relevance to those categories that are about messy subjects, but very little meaning where the categories are to do with wetlook or commingled categories that mix wet & messy in the same category...thats because 75% of the wetlook fans are HERE (on this forum) and not on UMD...so UMD does not have a representative sampling of the wetlook community, the true gauge is right here on Nigel's forum. Just to illustrate how skewed things are, according to the latest voting tallies, almost 50% of the voters say that the best wetlook site in the world is the wet fashion site in Germany, a site that is almost never even talked about on this forum.

Getting an award from UMD would be tough...because thats like being a filmmaker who makes movies but never visits the Cannes Film festival...i.e. unless you go there on a regular basis, nobody knows you. Sorry...but UMD is not main hub for the wetlook world...wetlook world headquarters is right here on Nigel's forum...not UMD.

As I recall, Anthony once had a poll that was more accurate as far as THIS community is concerned.

Anyway....go Leon (and go Martin Scorsesee at Oscar time too).

MK
