What's your best tweet?
In terms of reaching people a tweet about a great teacher. But any tweet that makes people laugh is good.
Share on TwitterWhat are six things you could never do without?
Family & Friends aside they're people not things, iPhone, Fashionary notebook, old photos, travel card, laptop, Knomo laptop bag
Twitter or Facebook?
Both, FB is the people you know, your past and present. Twitter is the people you might want to know & source of info. Your present & future
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Particularly - I just cant see how it can be abbreviated nicely. Generally I'll try and find another shorter word
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes of course. Lack of interaction, they were boring or really annoyed me. You cant like everyone in real life let alone on twitter
Why should we vote for you?
I'm passionate about making menswear more accessible. Demystifying it, but also getting people to dress better without condescending them.
What inspires you to tweet?
Fashion, Menswear, Friends, the world around me, other peoples Blogs, that random comment you think to yourself but have no one to say it to
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yes by my husband all the time, lol. A real life/ twitter life balance can be difficult to achieve.
How long can you go without a tweet?
About 8 hours....normally when sleeping. Though I still believe when out at dinner with phones are banned! Not that I can always stick to it
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That an account will guarantee you popularity, good PR & a social profile. It takes work to build a brand anywhere, esp on Twitter.
Why should people follow you?
For menswear fashion advice, from stores to trends, wishlist to styling points. I can be kinda funny at times as well.
How do you decide what to tweet?
If something inspires me, makes me laugh I'll tweet it. But also so I can unleash my witty inner monologue & vent mini-rages.
Why'd you start tweeting?
To publicise my blog http://bainser.tum... I kept tweeting after the friends I made, & by following people cleverly its a great resource
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Its given me opportunities in writing that I wouldnt even have known how to get by myself, and friends I may well never have met.
