well that's a crazy outfit!

Sometimes when I discover* a new blog it feels like I am talking to my snarky best friend who lives far far away in St. Louis!   That is what happened when I found The Man Repeller. 

I'm so glad someone finally wrote about this-- it's like the phenomenon of women dressing to impress other women.  I love my boyfriend, but he wouldn't care if I never wore makeup and started wearing my asics grandma arch supporting running shoes with jeans and a wife beater everyday, in fact, he might love me MORE because I'd have more money and I would only take 2 minutes to get ready when we go out.

*okay, honesty-police, when another blogger links to a blog and I read it
