  • Disappointed  [ Thu Apr 2 2009 1:59 PM ]

    Every year I have as many people I can think of vote for me as the Best Massage Therapist in Albuquerque, and every year I'm disappointed not to find that title. For the past 2 years I've seen a "Best Deep Tissue Therapist" listed as Bobbie Martin, but if you look up a license verification for that particular name for Licensed Massage Therapists in the state of New Mexico, there isn't one; however there is a licensed LMT Robert Martin, and I know him as going by the nickname Bobbie J. I've talked with Bobby J about the so-called winner of the Deep Tissue Therapist listed in the Best Of Burque last year, and he had no idea of the whole event that took place let alone that it may have been him that won.

    I'm curious as to how the titles of Best of... get picked because I have lots of friends and most of them said they voted for me, so I'm wondering why there's never a title of BEST MASSAGE THERAPIST. I sent out ads to my friends and clients telling them what to put in the voting slots (ex: Q:Best Massage Therapist A: Tavia Schwartz LMT#3861 DBA Muscle Surfing), and I let them know that there's a minimum of ten votes per ballet before it's accepted.

    Some of the titles of Best Of Anything We Forgot are not likely to be repeated votes by more than 1 person, so how are they getting picked (Ex: Best Place To See Clouds On A Starry Night). I can't imagine lots of people in Albuquerque thought that up and decided to put that as their Best Of vote in the box.

  • Uh. these are last year's "anything we forgots"  [ Thu Apr 2 2009 4:21 PM ]

  • 2009 Best Anything We Forgot  [ Thu Apr 2 2009 10:33 PM ]

    Last year nobody won Best Massage Therapist either. I had bunches of people vote for me last year as well....and nothing happened.
