Repelling Saturday

At the moment on a lonely saturday night I'm at home alone with my laptop and I'm reading ManRepeller. Until today I ignored it despite the fact that in the last week I came across the this name more than 3 times but I wasn't interested. There are a lot of "big" blogs that I tend to unlike maybe out of jealousy (note: I never know how to pronunce the word jealousy and I have to Google it) as I know that neither now nor in the near future can I afford those high fashion stuff they wear on a daily basis. But this night I gave ManRepeller a try and it engaged me with the first glance.

My first way led me to the header as the obvious question was seen there: What is a man repeller? I found a funny, dictionary-like explanation and I laughed out loud as I could inmediately refer to my own life.



My boyfriend has the irritating habit to critisize my style as he hates vests and harem pants (to be honest harem pants make me shiver too) but vest are really cool, aren't they? Every time I wear a vest or considering buying one he says it's ugly as f*ck and he doesn't like it. Sadly my newest haul is a faux fur vest that he has only seen in a photo so I don't know what I will get for buying that. Don't really care anyway, if it bothered me, I wouldn't let my current shopping friend to talk me into the purchase as "it is so extravagant" and I wouldn't take a huge amount of photos in her bedroom in front of her awesome big mirror.

Back to the Repeller, I took the quiz that was to say how much of a Man Repeller I am and not surprisingly I managed to find the balance. 

My result: "You’re a Semi-Repeller. This term was cleverly developed by the queen of Semi-Repelling, Rachel Strugatz. While you can appreciate a good wedge a la Giuseppe Zannotti or a disco horror film inspired cowboy bootie a la Derek Lam, you likely won’t rock the trend. You’ll probably stick to Givenchy cap toe booties and Alaia caged sandals. You like shoulder pads…but paired with skinny jeans, Rag & Bone harem pants but with bustiers, and little mini dresses with boyfriend blazers. Here’s to a supposedly nice balance." - ManRepeller.

The most of it is true and I'm proud of it. To be honest I wouldn't like to be a full man-repeller, I like men, or just one to be more precise too much to want to deter them.

P.S. In the picture in the middle I have a weird face but please excuse me for it, the moment before I was wearing a turquoise Cleopatra-style wig pretending to be a russian wh*re. (No offense for russian wh*res, I looked awesome.)

How about you? How much of a repeller are you? Do you read the blog at all?
