Tayari's Blog: Don't Forget Kiri Davis-- A GIRL LIKE ME

Travels & Rambles
Yes, I am beating this drum, AGAIN. Let's vote for Kiri Davis's "A Girl Like Me" in the Cosmogirl film competition. I went to the site this morning and Kiri is out of last place, but she is no where near winning... YET.
And, if you're in the the mood for early-morning irony... Kiri is the only girl like her on the Cosmogirl site.
So, go vote! It's a little tricky. The site is clearly designed for a younger demographic. I was over there trying to figure out where to click while a perky voice was advising me how to more effectively shave my legs...
Anyway, here's how it works:
I really want this young lady to win. Help out. (And FYI. I'm not trying to be trifling, but I think you can vote more than once as long as it is on a different day...)

It's getting closer!
As of 1:04 p.m. central time Wednesday:
Kiri: 7284
Girl in first: 7788
Truly, Kiri's piece is such brilliant, heart-breaking work. I remember when Tayari first called attention to it, and it stuck with me for days. Would love to see her win.
And yeah, you can vote again on different days -- this was my third time and worth it, despite the annoying shaving ads.

Interesting development... I went to vote again today and CosmoGirl has taken down the voting opportunity and replaced it with a note to the effect of due to voter tampering they were taking down the voting button and the editors would decide on the winner. Hmmmmm... that sounds suspect to me.
