HELP NOMINATE STEPHANIE HOLMES FOR A ECNY AWARD


That's right... I posted my headshot... BECAUSE THIS IS SERIOUS Ya'll!


So as you may, or may not, know the last few weeks have been really big for me...
I was a finalist in the New York's Funniest Competition. Which means that I made it to the final 10 of a contest for the New York Comedy Festival, making it past hundreds of other comics and performing along side comics I have idolized for a long time. I got to perform at Gotham and Carolines; two of the biggest clubs in the city.
I am in the process of joining the Friars Club. A prestigious and very well connected club (think the comedy central roasts).
I am finally starting to grow boobs!

I need your help to keep up my momentum.

I WANT TO WIN A ECNY AWARD!

ECNY Stands for "Emerging Comics in New York", and that's exactly what they honor. The comics that are busting their little (or big) butts in NYC. And I can think of no one more "emerging" than me!
So... please go to http://www.ecnyawards.com/nomination.php and nominate me in the Best Female Stand-Up Category. You can fill out the whole form with your faves...But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put me in for Best Female Stand-Up.
AND YOU CAN NOMINATE ME MORE THAN ONCE, SO GO BACK EVERY DAY!!!
