Guess the Blogger Pose: Answer Revealed

Oh repellows...I'm back with the answer. The general consensus was a tie betweem Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes and Susie of Style Bubble. The correct answer however was...

Anticipation...
Was it Susie?
Was it Jane?
Some said Denni.
Was it she?
Was it me?
Is two plus two really four?
...More anticipation...

And the answer is....
Susie Bubble! (all images via Style Bubble)
I'm slightly disappointed in myself for having taken eight months of live blog time to unveil a Guess the Blogger Pose on dear ol'Susie. After all, she is the unofficial spokesperson for man repelling across the pond. Never one afraid to try her hand at pairing bright separates with bright patterns, (photoed above,) Susie shows us how rock neoprene outside of the ocean. The fish-like prints on her leggings suggest an interesting correlation to the orange Tron for Opening Ceremony wetsuit. Don't you agree?
In another effort to remind us that one print is never enough, she wears pajama pants with printed open toe heels. I'm not quite sure this is what Christian Dior had in mind when he showed his "innerwear as outerwear" collection circa Spring 2010. This is however, what I had in mind. Thank you, Susie. Your knit turban gives my Peter Jensen number a run for its' Sikhness. (Get it? Get it?)
There's that pesky top knot again! While in this photo, Lady Bubble stuck to muted hues of nude and grey, she continued to satisfy The Man Repeller aesthetic with what look like labial folds for knee-pads at the top of her knee-socks. Here's to Things that Look Like Vaginas!

In an interesting string of events, today's competition runs hand in hand with the one Bloglovin' is administering.  

Susie and I are running against one another in their Most Original Blog of 2011 category. In spirit of exploting that friendly competition and including one more facet, tell us now, Who Wore it Best?
How does she get her topknot so...top? (I know the answer, she once tweeted it at me, and it is: loads of bobby pins.)
Susie, I love you, so you have my vote. But fellow Repellows...do remember: this is my blog. Don't make a fool of me on my own URL! She's going to win Most Original! Give me something, anything. Come on! Please! ...I'll give you socks?

  16. Between the Shinning-like quality of the picture and the blue stripped socks, I'll say you wore it best hands down.
    As far as repelling men goes, this sort of bulge thing you have in your pants there would certainly do it (assuming straightness, of course).
    I love your blog. You have true sartorial grit baby, and that's truly rare.

  18. YOU. Always. Is this just me, or does this purse look like Lady Business? http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446389972&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492817520&bmUID=iT3tvwU&ev19=3:7
    Also, pleeeease do an entry on Female repellers! I think there are guys who look cool to other guys but horrify those of the clam persuasion.

  25. Susie looks perfectly librarian chic and I'm afraid there are men with Librarian fantasies. I dont think there are men out there with -giant-pom-pom-attached-to-bag fantasies... SO YOU WIN!!!

    P.S. my man wouldn't leave the house with me today until I changed my bright yellow heels - score one man repelling point to me!

  27. No! You don't need loads of bobbypins for a tippy tip top knot. Bend over and brush all of your hair just forward of where you want your topknot. Keep bending over. Twist hair and tightly coil until it forms a crazy topknot. Keep twisting/keep coiling. Stay bent over. Secure at the base w. hair elastic; wrap hair elastic around top knot formation a few times.
