My Weekend....

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Weekends at my abode are usually spent whiling hours away on Wikifashion. The wiki geek is currently working on a forum for the site and I am fielding photos from lovely bloggers who are reporting on behalf of Wikifashion from both New York and London Fashion Weeks. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that one day this might technically be "work".

On Sunday morning we met up with the lovely Joelle from Hello,Lovely who will be working on Wikifashion's redesign!

So excited.....and if that wasn't enough, I arrived home from our soy chai latte filled gathering to find that none other than Jimmy Wales (founder of Wikipedia) had contacted me to say he loved the site! This completely boggled my mind. If it weren't for Jimmy's work on Mediawiki and Wikipedia, Wikifashion simply wouldn't exist. So to have him stumble across my site and be kind enough to let me know that he liked it, makes the many hours (and 29,000 + edits) all worth it.

If you could peak inside my head right now, the above picture would best describe what it looked like. Suffice to say that email will never be deleted.
