DIY: From Man Repeller to Man Getter

The title of this blog post may be a little deceiving. After all, cock blockers don't become cock rockers. It's unnatural. Like a leopard can't change her spots, a Man Repeller can't change her penchant for shielding men. She can try though. And sometimes she will succeed. Sometimes.

Take my friend, for example. She's a pretty girl...thin physique, brown hair and eyes, killer personality...works in fashion (read: chronic offender.) In an effort to remove herself from her natural habitat--that is to say, quit repellin', start propellin'--she cut a whopping six inches off her Summer '08 Alexander Wang boyfriend shorts right before heading out for some summer o'fun 4th of July festivities.

She and I speak of conducting social experiments in which we plan to dress in man attracting duds (read: short, tight, fitted, potentially from Bebe or Guess) and then assess the outcome. Said friend thought 4th of July weekend (read: copious amounts of alcohol intake) would be the perfect time to unleash the social experiment. Paired with a silk charmeuse crop top, a la YAYA, the result left her rounding second base with a hunkier hunk than John Stamos circa Full House.
Good bye Jesse and The Rippers, Hello Alex Wang and some Clippers. 

I on the other hand, was simultaneously wearing this fringe cardigan from Opening Ceremony on the beach in East Hampton.


So uh, while her Brazilian wax was getting a real bang for its' buck, mine was merely itching.

Note: That was a subtle and ironic STD reference. Ironic because one must actually be sexually active in order to obtain an STD.

*editor note: it was more than 2 bases
