Fallen Bloggers - Annie Fox

Annie Fox

Late in 2009 the New Zealand blogging community lost Annie Fox after a period of illness. We remember her stark honesty about her illness with a special mention at these awards and celebrate one of her happiest of times during the year. With her Libz friends meeting the great P.J. O'Rourke. What a night that would have been for those at her table.

In Annie's own words:

"Later in the evening I had the great pleasure of talking to the honoured guest face-to-face, which was all a little overwhelming. I've never meet anyone that I really admired before, it's hard to think of what to say and you forget every question you always wanted to asked - really you want to just grin and say 'you're fantastic' - over and over again".

Many bloggers and all of Annie Fox's friends and family thought she was fantastic too.

RIP.

  1. Thank you. She would have loved the tribute.

    But you just made me cry. She would have laughed at that. :-)
