Last night was the ever popular Shoreditch Twit. This time, there was a bit of a twist and I’m not just talking about the delicious fruit water from Sip Drinks on offer! Shoreditch Twit organiser Lewis Webb teamed up with the stunning Miggy from POUT and together they combined the beautiful world of modelling and fashion with the popular and sometimes geeky world of social media.

The venue, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, was aptly named for the event. With it’s exposed brick work and occasional paintings it had the Shoreditch vibe very much going on. Semi naked ladies roamed the room, modelling underwear from Mint Siren by Josefine Wing, Camera flashes were going off sporadically and of course plenty of alcohol was being consumed!

Unfortunately, I didn’t stay too long as I wasn’t feeling the best – But all involved seemed to be having a great time. Another successful Shoreditch Twit in the bag for Mr Webb! I shall certainly be at the next one

So Friday night was the WAYN (Where Are You Now) Re-Launch party at The Kensington Roof Gardens. What a great venue! It was rather strange to be on a roof in the middle of London with flamingos walking around – Very odd but very pleasing! In my opinion, the only down side of the evening was the price of the drinks, they were outrageous! Luckily that didn’t stop anybody having fun and there was a very full dancefloor at 3am when the evening ended!

It was a warm summer evening and the garden was full of people chatting, listening to the live band and enjoying the barbecue. It was a fabulous turnout for the WAYN guys and the feedback on the new site was very positive from everyone I spoke to.

I must admit, I wasn’t really a fan of the old site. I found it a little childish looking and despite being a WAYN member for a many years, I probably only logged in a few times a year. The re-design and added features has brought them completely up to date and looks far more appealing than before. I shall certainly be logging in and updating my profile, which still has my picture of when I was 19! *cringe*

A *massive* congratulations to the WAYN team for a great new site and an awesome party. It was lovely to see lots of familiar faces there and some new ones too

So for those of you who don’t know a great deal about me, here’s a better idea:-

My name is Leila and I’m a 27 year old tech fanatic who lives and works in London. When I’m not at my nine to five job at an investment bank in the City, I run a tech website site called Girls ‘n’ Gadgets . Any spare time I get, I spend at networking events to promote my website or with my boyfriend, who is my rock

I’m a real sucker for gadgets of all shapes and sizes. It’s a passion that has developed over the years since I was given my first gaming console (Super Nintendo – SNES) when I was 10. Having spent much of my childhood in a small room button bashing to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, it was only natural for me to progress to the wonderful world of the Internet where I started my first blog. After using a number of different sites such as Livejournal, Xanga and Diaryland, I eventually settled on the very friendly Opera Community.

Since January 2004 I have blogged and bitched under the name fluffybunny and it has proved to be a very pleasant and rewarding experience. Within my first year blogging at Opera, I was named ‘Member of the Week’ and from there on, my involvement with Opera has been a fond one – reviewing their products and in particular their browser for the Nintendo DS Lite. The most unforgettable memory was helping organise and set up the Opera Backstage: London event in 2006, which was a great success and as a thank you, they flew me to Norway to meet the team. Very Awesome and *lovely* people!

These days I can be found evangelising about my favourite startups such as ilikeucoz, Strands and Fund it Frog. I’m still a keen gamer and am proud to say, still have my SNES, MasterSystem and DreamCast as well as a Wii, PS3 and DS Lite. I’m sure there are more lol. I enjoy going to gigs and festivals. I’m a huge sports fan – Football being my favourite. I’m a massive Arsenal and Rangers fan!

I’m a self confessed Twittaholic, pretty much since I got my iPhone last July.

Well I think as Porky Pig would say, ‘That’s all folks!’
