wouldn’t you like to be a Superhero, too?
Once upon a time, I was a mommy blogger who liked shoes. A lot. Perhaps to an unreasonable degree. And so last winter, during NaBloPoMo, I decided that it would be fun to post a picture of my shoes every day for a month (because even if I didn’t have ANY kind of content, I would certainly have SHOES on and I could use photos as filler). And then Chris (who also has a a deep and abiding love of shoes) said, “We need a Flickr pool!” And thus NoBloShoeMo (”Show us your shoes!”) was born.
The NoBloShoeMo pool was about the most fun I had last winter (seriously). And so when we started brainstorming at The Working Closet about Fun Things To Do, I said, “We need a Flickr pool!”
And The Working Closet Flickr pool (”What did YOU wear to work today?”) was born.
We’re a third of the way through the month, which means we’re ten days in to thirty days of what you’re wearing today, and the pool members are rockin’ the work (and weekend) wear. Each of them has a great attitude and great shoes and great closets. And holy hell are they funny.
But I want the REST of you to join, too, and show us what you’re wearing. And because I am not above a bribe, we have PRIZES.
The Working Closet, as you may or may not know, is part of Work It, Mom! (”Helping professional moms juggle life”). WIM offers a variety of features, including member articles, blogs, and groups.
And look! The Working Closet has a GROUP! With a PHOTO POOL!
Can you guess where this is going?
For the rest of the month, every photo you add to the Flickr pool and THEN upload to The Working Closet group photo pool at WIM enters you in a drawing for one of Andrea Scher’s FABULOUS Superhero necklaces. The winner will get to choose from Andrea’s fantastic selection (although really, you can’t go wrong).
(How about this for synchronicity: here’s a photo of Eden Kennedy, the brains behind NaBloPoMo, wearing her Superhero necklace. On Flickr! And the circle is complete.)
(And look! Eden ALSO writes for Work It, Mom! where you should totally be reading her blog, Flat Pop. Okay then!)
(Back to the contest.)
Each photo you upload to the WIM group enters you in the drawing (add two photos and you will have two chances to win; add ten and you will have TEN chances to win). And while you’re over there, stop by the group forum and ask a question or start a discussion.
And then wander around a little bit and see what else you can find.
More details are here. Get registered at WIM and start uploading your photos, and NEXT month you could be showing us your beautiful new Superhero necklace.
Edited to add: You do NOT need to be a mom to enter, or to win. You DO need to be registered at WIM, though, so get on over there. And join the Flickr pool! What are you waiting for? It’s fun!

Oh, but! What if you are not a mother? What if “Work it, Childless Lady Dot Com” would be a more appropriate website for you? Are you not eligible?
By “you” I mean “me”, of course.

As long as you are registered at WIM and uploading pictures, you are TOTALLY eligible!
And Work It, Childless Old Lady is funny.

I have been coveting those necklaces for ages. I am clicking straight over there right now. I’m such a joiner.

For some reasons Susan, the workit pool isn’t letting us upload any photos today. Keep getting an error.

I would if only I didn’t wear the same ‘ol clothes on a daily basis.
Maybe I could get the prize for most repetition??
