Back in April, I received a tweet from @selftanqueen that read: “Hi darlin’, we’re starting a blogger organization, we reckon you’d be great for it!” (or something like that ).

And that was my introduction to two lovely gals, Sinead (from San Francisco) and Tonia (based in Athens), and their idea for iFabbo – the International Fashion and Beauty Bloggers’ Organization.

iFabbo founders Sinead and Tonia

Since then we’ve phoned, e-mailed and Skyped about all things blogging. And after many months of planning, iFabbo was officially launched a couple of weeks ago. And yours truly is a founding member, proudly flying the flag for Australia.

So what is iFabbo, exactly?

Here’s a little blurb straight from the iFabbo website…

iFabbo (International Fashion & Beauty Bloggers’ Organization) promotes the blogging profession as well as individual and professional growth. We provide a platform for education, support, resources…

You can find out a whole lot more on the website, and I’ll be keeping you posted on more details as they come to hand. There have already been a couple of iFabbo events (read: fun blogger gatherings with drinks, goodie bags and other cool stuff) in the US, with more planned for Los Angeles, New York, and even Australia in 2011 (yay!).

How can you stay informed?

If you’re a beauty or fashion blogger, follow iFabbo on Twitter, like the Facebook page, and bookmark the website. Even though it’s still early days for the venture, I’m excited for what the future of iFabbo will be! So do me a favour and watch this space!
