THE MAN REPELLER BLOG

MP
So what's a Man Repeller?  Well, Leandra Medine, blogger extraordinaire and the brains behind the site of the same name describes it as:

Outfitting oneself in a sartorially offensive way that will result in repelling members of the opposite sex. Such garments include but are not limited to harem pants, boyfriend jeans, overalls (see: human repelling), shoulder pads, full length jumpsuits, jewelry that resembles violent weaponry and clogs.
