Probably because if she wins she'll be able to add it to her pitches and she'll be hoping that brands will want to work with her more if she's got an "award"I just don't understand how she is so excited about these awards when she paid so much money to be nominated?!? It's not like she's up against people like Zoella or anything?!
I think she’s just desperate for an award. She’s been mentioning them since the joe days. This is probably her closest option, and imo will be even more disheartening for her if she doesn’t win.I just don't understand how she is so excited about these awards when she paid so much money to be nominated?!?

Yeah I'm sure there's plenty of talented people doing both online - I don't think she'd become like the Queen of Crochet or anything but I just feel like she has lost all creativity / passion when it comes to her content and she never seems to do videos about anything she enjoys which just must be depressing for her. If was her and had two hobbies I was quite good at, I'd be thinking about how I could incorporate it into my YT etc.The crochet world is chock full of bloggers, vloggers, etc. She'd be a small fish in a big pond. I had an etsy store about 10 years ago selling hand dyed yarn and wool rovings for spinning your own yarn and it was hard back then. I made money but it was pocket change really. It's an extremely saturated market these days. I dare say nail art is too.
Can't waitAnyone else slightly excited to see the awards
Can’t see much ‘party wear’You can watch previous years' awards on YT. Here's last years:
She has literally gone on and on and on about this award for weeks. It’s been a big deal. I looked at the profiles of the other contestants and they’ve hardly mentioned the awards one of them was like ‘I’m just out buying DIY supplies, and tonight I’m going to an awards ceremony...’So her friend has sent her a bottle of champagne to congratulate her for paying to be nominated for an award. Lovely. I can't even imagine how funny it will be if she doesn't win!
I notice that Melanie also quickly corrected herself when she said she was "nominated". She stopped herself and said "short listed" instead, which is far more accurate. Unlike Amelia who makes out she was specially chosen!I've checked out the bbwa2019 hashtag and one woman is wearing a gold, glitzy, to the floor gown. Melanie Lissack, who is in the category with Amelia has a story on her IG too and the guests are looking pretty spiffy from what I can see! Melanie was really down to earth and very humble about the evening when she was talking about it. I really want her to win as she seems lovely.
