In it to Win it: A Dress, For You

After last Friday’s call to celebrate my blog’s birthday but more importantly to deliver to one of you the gift of cool outerwear, I couldn’t live with myself knowing that out of 572 entries only one person would walk away with the blazer. And so I designed a plan. Never say I don’t love you. 

While still, only one person (who wrote an acronymic poem and used the “A” in Man to mean “mArgiela,”) will walk away with the blazer, one of you will walk away with a dress. A dress!

In cahoots with the fancy flamingos at Jay Godfrey, we would lurve to offer you the sweet, sweet, chance to win your very own Jay Godfrey dress, hooray! Hooray! White dress, hooray! Contest! The dress that is pictured below was a particular favorite of mine for a multitude of reasons, let me show you.

 
Jay Godfrey dress, DANNIJO necklace
It’s plain and simple, unlike me. And it features several ruffled details across the skirt that may or may not resemble the labial folds bestowed upon our Albino brethren. No? Not at all? Come on. Fine, it is at the very least, a chic blank canvas. One that begs for the kiss of le Man Repeller. And a big fat wet smooch, it shall receive.
But first, we take a look at my behind. This position and pop movement really strained my neck so I think a deserve at least one “thank you for showing me that there is a short v down the back.”
…Now, we’re ready for the kiss of Man Repelling.
A trench vest! Eureka! Colorblocking heels! That look like sneakers! Because they have a tassled knot at the tongue! While the belt made the dress slightly shorter, it also allowed me the opportunity to blouse as a verb. Am I a little boy? Do I have a chest? The world may never know. What do you know is: I’m blousing. 
 
 trench vest: Fulton, dress: Jay Godfrey, shoes: Julian Louie x Aldo
Do I look like a little kid that has to go potty or what? 
And now, for the giveaway! You too, my friends, can win a blank canvas that reads more like a snow covered potato sack, and give it your kiss of repelling. All you have to do is:
a. Follow Jay Godfrey on Twitter
b. Go over to the Jay Godfrey website, pick out your favorite dress, and tell me why you love it in the comments with your name and e-mail address. 
c. If it’s not a dress you love, and you pick something else, I won’t penalize you.
d. I may however, roll my eyes and wonder why you have to be so non-conformist all the time.
c. Most creative answer (haikus accepted) will win the dress garment of their choice. 

I will announce the winner on Facebook on Monday, May 9 at 10AM, which means you should probably “like” me. Even if you hate me, but I like you. So…reconcile that.
 
Show me your spirit fingers! Whose excited? Ready, set, repel!

    I think this look is adorable! But then again, I am not a man. Point taken. I love the Duke Siren dress with the sequins. I'm a girly girl. I suck.
    But if it makes a difference, I've been following you on FB for awhile…now I am following Jay on Twitter too.
    It's a little early for too much wit, it is only 6:20am on the west coast. Why on earth am I on your blog at this ungodly hour? I am in need of therapy…clearly.

    first of all it is a very pure dress, it looks so simple, but simple can be complicated too and can create the most divine effect. Love the ruffles because they look so delicate and sophisticated. White is such a tricky color, but the shape of the dress is perfect for white because it emphasizes the preciousness of it. see where some killer heels and it looks smashing and not so delicate anymore!!! That is what I live: a versatile dress! What more does a girl want

    Hannah adores the "PREDOCK coloblock kimono sleeve dress" in Poppy/Bougainvillea, which to men just looks the pink and red.
    A one shouldered dress to knock them dead…

    Dead wondering why doesn't she just show both arms, or cover them both?
    Or maybe how good she looks in it, even if just one arm is showing…

    OH MY OH MY I'm in love with the Post Cowl Sleeve colorblock shirt dress, because I can't quite figure it out. It screams, at differing volumes, nurse, J. Crew, Prada, evening seductress (thanks to the sleeves), and hip 5-year-old. And I'm now convinced that cowl sleeves are the new cowl neck! I absolutely must show off my pasty white shoulders in order to unleash my inner Man Repeller! Please oh please! :)

    I really need the Summers Colour Block Dress! I recently moved from Christchurch, NZ to Australia after the Feb 22nd earthquake. My husband and I lost our jobs and had to sell off all our furniture, household items and most of my clothes so we could afford to move so I have more than adequate room to house this gorgeous beauty of a dress. My wardrobe is looking very black and boring and depressed and this dress would definitely be welcomed in and become the 'cool new kid' with exciting stories from far away lands and man repelling action. Although I love this dress, I love your blog more. Thank you for creating and wearing and being.

    I absolutely love the Meadowwood U-neck dress w/ruffled skirt.. Ahh the ruffles!!! :) What better way to repel than a skirt full of ruffles!! My boyfriend hates it. Says I look like a modern day Marie Antoinette. Of course, men would rather have nothing left to the the imagination. I find it reminscent of the days where classy ladies would be covered in "mille-feuille".

    And I secretly gloat a little on the inside everytime I see that look on my boyfriend's face like "are you really wearing that?!" Bahahaha Yes I am!! :)

    Let the repelling commence !!

    Minnesota, its fucking cold.
    I live there.
    And its getting old.
    This brutal winter has made me a mess.
    But I REALLY like the PLATT one shoulder dress…
    When I wear it, I will look hot.
    Even if the weather is not!
    So to cure me from Seasonal Affective Disorder
    And my lack of vitamin D
    1 Platt dress, size 0, is in order,
    and send it to me!!!!!

    Also, the blue color is called "peacock" which is just funny.

    There once was a dress with a ruffle
    It made quite a kerfuffle
    This dress I saw myself wearing
    And at the boys I'd be leering*
    But they'd be all like "hell no,
    You are a repello!"
    "Is it because I look like a clown?"
    "No it's you're accessorising that's getting us down."
    Apparently a turban will not be getting me any around town.

    So, if you're confused as to what that even meant…
    I love the Imperial Racerback Tank Dress. Not just for it's colour-blocking, and the fact that it reminds me of a clown outfit I wore for a cricus dress up party when I was 4 (the other girls were trapese-artists in tutus, but even back then I knew I was a Repeller), but because it's the kind of dress I could wear any day or night. (I promise I'd occasionally wash it too)

    I want that geometric beaded shift dress, to add to my collection of potentially bulletproof items of clothing—you never know when you're going to need it. Besides that, the dress is also a reverse mullet, you know, with the party in the front and business in the back (kind of like a mob-run strip club)

    Pick me, and I'll teach you how to dougie.

    I, for one, am a fan of the white dress! I now live in Florida so that means I can wear white all year around and it compliments sunburn nicely. Also, when I wear white it typically guarantees some sort of spillage, but I will be *super* careful with this one and not go out and eat ribs in it. I actually did that once while wearing a white BCBG tunic and it resulted in me having to ask the waitress for a cup of club soda and the end of my Tide Stick. Yes, I carry one with me in case of emergencies.

    ANYWAY, I love the dress and my boyfriend will love another chance to make fun of me! Pick me pretty please…I promise not to spill and to shun any food or non-clear beverage that comes my way. :)

    First and foremost, i love you too. I've been repelling for as long as my boob's (haven't) developed and it feels good to know there are proud repellers out there.
    I love Jay Godfred because he's rock and roll and innovative, so i'm following him on twitter even though i don't really get twitter.

    I love the white dress you're wearing for many reasons. So I adapted shakespeare to convene all its beauty. the original is called "Fear no more the heat o' the sun". hope you like it!

    Fear no more the lack o' lust,
    Nor the furious male gazes;
    Thou thy worldly task hast done,
    Repelled art done, with ruffles and laces;
    Golden lads and girls all must,
    As chimney-sweepers, wear a vest.

    Fear no more the frown o' the girlies;
    Thou they will definitely make more babies:
    Care no more to clothe to attract;
    To thee the clothes are as the soul:
    Flamingos, learning, fashion, must
    All follow this, and come to us.

    I love the SUMMERS colorblock dress,
    for it makes me think of all the success
    that can happen to me
    with factor trees
    and everything math related
    which will get me some men baited
    and although I adore your blog (and you)
    Having no men around will make me blue
    so I strive for mathematical perfection
    while gaining men's affections.

    My fave: PLATT one shoulder dress with slim skirt I like it the best. I imagine myself a champion dog walker in Monaco who is actually a secret Pirate Queen. But the rich of Monaco would never suspect their chic dog walker of high-seas proficiency. By day, crisp pencil skirts and poodles, by night, I'm on ur yachts, makin' my get aways. After a week on the seas, I sell the yachts to Somali pirates who are blinded by my sartorial prowess and I return to Monaco, first class, and lie in wait, in the company of canines until I can strike again.

    I was already following said superstars on le social media. So here is why I love:

    The IMPERIAL racer back tank dress…

    Besides the fact that the colors of this dress remind me of Toucan Sam, and would perhaps best be worn at a cocktail party in Malibu… you see, I am Canadian, and up here in the great-white-north these colours are no where to be seen. If I were granted the wish of being the owner of this bright coloured number, I would wear it with man repelling pride: outdoors. Please help me bring some colour and summer into my current Canadian wardrobe.

    P.s. if I am not so lucky to win this fab garment, perhaps my request would be better suited (pun intended) towards the showcase prize: A trip to Hawaii…please?

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/07751016169586224240 Broke Brie

    Hi, I'm Canadian but I'm entering anyways. Why?

    Because 1. I love the Predock coloblok kimono sleeve dress just for the very fact that it creates nothing but confusion. I actually think it should be called Precock Bona-block (only because that's how I read it at first and thought, NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE'S DOING THIS) and it's red after Valentines Day!

    Wait, does the whole not wearing a certain colour only apply to Labour Day? Because I was under the impression that red was too much after Valentine's Day… But I love it anyways.

    2. It begs me to keep upping my man-repelling swag. Why is there only one arm you ask? Because I need a full arm free to accessorize from wrist to bicep! Or y'know, I'm just trying to be like Miley anda sex it up a bit… I like the former reason better. Being sexy takes too much hard work.

    In all seriousness,

    3. I'm obsessed with silk (it's my second favourite material, since he hasn't designed anything with lace this season. *les sadz*)
    4. It's kinda my 19th birthday tomorrow, which finally makes me a legal drinker in Canada so this would be an amazing belated birthday gift to celebrate my 19 years of waiting to enter a bar in Canada.
    5. (Cue bad sucking up) I love you? :)

    The MANN button up romper is the one for me
    receiving it will fill me with glee
    whether it be the kelly green color
    i'll sure be repelling like no other
    the word MANN is already in the description
    so this romper is the perfect prescription
    to cure me of my finals week stresses
    aren't you happy i picked a romper instead of dresses?

    Good morning Man Repeller!
    My sweet, sweet arabic husband who is a High School P.E. teacher and soccer coach, who gets to wear drawstring pants and tennis shoes everyday probably thinks I am hottest in tight boot-cut jeans and Ed Hardy top, however, me being the fashion blogger girl that I am, who's read Vogue since the days of toting a ballet bag and bun, LOVE the most confusing of pieces. Blousey tops that hide my washboard chest even more, and high waist-ed slacks with pleats that probably accentuate my round derriere, and last Friday, rose printed hoisery socks with brown and silver wedges by Cynthia Vincent that might very well look like shoes that straightened legs in the 20's, but I don't care! I feel SEXY, and I would feel like a SEXY little housewife for my new "hubsand," we got married March 19th, in Jay Godfrey's magnificent Kelly green "POST cowl sleeve color block shirt dress" with shoulder cutouts. Showing a shoulders to my conservative husband, ooh la la…naughty, naughty!

Then look at the faces of my friends that think they're fashionistas but don't follow the Man repeller on facebook. I really love the dress and don't know why but I know I would feel like Michael Jackson when wearing it which is awesome! Oh I love it… I wish I could be more creative and tell you a story of how happy the maracas men in your Stubbs & Wootton shoes would be if I win this dress.

    I will profess my love of the Snyder in a sonnet

    Chartreuse: Would a color by any other name burn retinas so feircly?
    The color of moss (while most others say pee)
    You are the true non-shit-giver of the color wheel
    When wearing you men are forced to wear sunglasses to cop a feel
    You and I go hand in hand,
    A color to complex for the untrained eye to understand.
    When I go out I want heads to spin
    And stop patrons half way through a sip of gin
    The men will say: is that a pee colored dress?
    And man-getters will say she is not getting any in that mess…
    But with a name as crazy as chartreuse
    Peen dropping is what you induce
    With weaponry jewelry and top knots
    Color so bright it blinds robots
    Chartreuse you are my color soulmate,
    So bring us together, it is meant to be; its fate

    So, I love the Barkley Ruffle Shirt Dress. Because I'm a big fat copier. Actually, in the fourth grade I was sent to the principal's office because I kept coming to school wearing exact replicas of the outfit the most popular girl in school had worn the day before. I was single white female-ing people before it was cool. But I digress.

    I also love the dress because it reminds me of an ABBA Halloween (Purim in your case) I wanted to buy a few years ago. Here's a link to a picture of it:

    http://www.abbacostumes.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/platinum-abba2.jpg

    I say "wanted to buy" like I didn't buy it and then go trick-or-treating (begging for hamantaschen in your case? Maybe?) with my friends as ABBA, because I totally did that. And this dress brings me back to that moment. How can you deny me a 70s moment? You can't.

    So. I was wondering how I would write this comment. First, I thought of a poem. Then I realized that my poem writing skills are on the negative side of nil. My mind, acting in a fast flurry, immediately turned to haiku. Which was, admittedly, a very poor thought considering those are 1]impossible to do right and 2]just sound stupid. So I just decided, in the span of an hour [admittedly I got distracted by Facebook, GChat and that final that I should be studying for (damn you, European History)] that I shall write a list.

    5 Reasons as to Why Kathy Needs the Summer Colorblock Dress:

    1] It has coloblocking. HELLOO?! Love it already.

    2] I'm a rather practical gal, and this dress is a rather practical object of silk, thus making it perfect for a variety of occasions that I may purposely or accidentally find myself in this summer. [That sounds vaguely scandalous. I apologize.]

    3] I loooooove exposed zippers. That is all.

    4] As a continuation of point 1, not only is there COLORBLOCKING, this dress has NEON colorblocking. Nothing can look better on my sallow, pasty northern European descendant skin. Of this I have no doubt.

    5] This dress makes me want to prance around in a park. With a picnic basket. Is there anything else that a summer dress should do? I think not. Therefore, I love this one. It is perfect.

    Please make my dreams come true.I will love you, not just like you, forever. That is, if Facebook ever comes up with that setting…

    Yours truly,
    Kathy

    Lovin' the "Marion" from the Fall 2011 collection because ever since I saw Gwenyth Paltrow's inspiring failure of a film (no, not "Country Strong", Godfrey doesn't have a cowboy boot and thinning hair 2011 line [fngers crossed for 2012]) "View from the Top", I've wanted to dress "Flight attendant couture"
    Nothing says "Nuts?" like this fruit colored number. I fully intend to layer and man repel to my best abilities.

    I am so very sorry for making you roll your eyes… but I am going to be a non-conformist nuisance. I have fallen deeply, madly in love with the PACE Cowl sleeve collared blouse, because all I want to do is pair it with my wide leg jeans, a belt, and wedges and be a man-repelling hippie.

    For your further understanding, I suggest reading my short blog post: http://dontyoulove.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/fashion-3/

    (Can you say bubbled-sleeve blouse?!?!) PLUS, the blouse is nude/cream/whatever you want to call it, and I AM obsessed with all things mushroom-colored.

    SO PICK ME!!!! Because I will Man REPEL my little heart out and make you PROUD!

    Although I do enjoy that Barkley Ruffle Shirt Dress, white and me do not really get along. I would probably carelessly spill some red wine on it at a fancy cocktail party (read: BBQ sauce in a backyard in Philadelphia), so I will veer away from this option.
    What my boyfriend would like me to wear would be along the lines of the Duke Siren dress, as he often laments "Why don't you wear something more form fitting? You have a great body!" (Translation: I can't see your boobs and/or butt under that moo-moo you are calling a dress, even if you put a belt with it).
    So I say: give me Kiki Beaded Sheath size 2/4. I have a wedding to attend in a few weeks, and I would really like to look like a disco ball. Please make my dreams come true.
    Oh, i follow JG under my blog/twitter alias "a la Alison"

    fondly,

    I love the Clemente Longsleeve Dress with Beaded Shoulders, and let me tell you why…

    P: Power shoulders are a must when repelling
    I: I often try to look like an Indigo bunting (look it up)
    C: Covering my elbows for non-religious reasons…yes please
    K: Knobby knees get a chance to see the sun

    M: Men love cleavage and this dress shows 0%
    E: Electric neon pumps in my closet are itching to be paired with this dress

    So, while others may have rhymed for you and tried to swoon you (wine and dine you) with their poetry…I think I spelled out pretty clearly why you should PICK ME.

    I'm just going to cut to the chase, no time to write any witty poetry as I am a stay at home mom of a two year old and only have a short nap window and should be writing for my own blog right now. Anywho…. I need this dress. Precisely because I am a stay at home mom in ROCHESTER NY (god help me) and have no where to wear it. I do, however, promise to wear it grocery shopping and send you pics of me in said dress at Wegmans if I do win. I'd even throw in an updo if that entices you at all. There. That is the truth.

    Sweet grandmother's spatula! I seriously cannot choose between two of the amazing dresses in that bunch o' coconuts! As I always overthink things, a PRO CON list might just do the trip and help me make that sweet selection.

    PREDOCK COLOR BLOCK || MAN BUTTON UP ROMPER

    PRO- The name says it all|| A blank (green)
    color block awayyyyy|| canvas to begin the
    c*cK aka color block
    ——————————————-PRO- Rhymes like a poet || sings to me like a
    minstrel
    ——————————————-
    PRO- my BF hates it… || … so I love it!
    ——————————————-
    PRO- allows airflow to my|| i can just pop off
    pikachu during those|| those buttons to my
    hot Miami summers || liking if i am hot
    ——————————————-
    PRO- repeling circa 1970s|| repeling circa 1900s
    …ring my bell || …pie in the sky
    ——————————————-
    PRO- i gotta have it! || i gotta have it!

    Hrmm… Seems I forgot all the cons (aka what cons?), which leaves me just as confused– they are both TOO amazing! Maybe a Venn Diagram would work?.. JUST KIDDING!!! I would take either and a Size 8 would be I.D.E.A.L.

I mean, many of the repellers are one step ahead, u know? You are problably sorry for me too, aren't you? Don't you think it's unfair?
    Dont worry, if I win, I promise I will honour the man replling society, you Partnerless Goddess. And I can rhyme. No I actually cant.

    As I am no poet, and im pretty sure i know it.
    I love the dress you are wearing!! I sadly, regrettfully, and pitifully, moved to a place where fashion isnt realllllly the top thing on the list (weird, i thought when people thought of colorado all they saw was harem pants and turbans) actually i was called aladdin the other day for that awesome combo. They juuuust dont get it, but I'm taking a stand as i have been, repelling all over the city like its my religion, and am in need of THAT dress, for obvious reasons. As my (non existent) boobs need more cover up and my new turban needs a white dress friend to be worn with, pick meeeeeee :)

    Reasons why I love Joffe color block cap sleeve dress written in love letter format that will never be sent from high school girl to said crush:

    Dear Joffe:
    I'm suuuhh glad I sit behind you in class, I love to check out your exposed zipper, it's one of my favorite deTAILS (voice fluctuates to squeaky decibels)! I also love the way you look when you turn around to pass papers back because of the color blocked side panels, whoever doesn't love color blocking needs to check themselves before they wreck themselves, riigghht (long drawn out syllables)? Gasp! ohmygodohmygodohmygod (separate words said so fast they sound like 1 long word) and the detail that looks like a belt but isn't a belt but kinda looks like a belt from the back and the front? GENE-YUUS (voice starts low and ends high)! Thanks to you, 7th period is Admire Joffe Hour, American History who?

    You're so close yet so far,

    D

    PS- I'm failing 7th period, but it's SUH worth it

    That concludes my creative writing for the month :)

    I love the dress you are wearing (the vest makes it) but my favorite on Jay's website is the Imperial Racerback Tank Dress because it is totally rocking the color blocking trend that is everywhere right now! It looks like a little sesame street character is hanging onto your shoulders from behind with those shoulder accents! need it! don't make me go adopt a puppet just for the same effect!

    This is my favorite romper, why I picked a romper and not vagina-esque dress you may ask. As much as I love the white labia dress I know I will spill something greasy (most likely a cheeseburger) on it and or forget to cross my legs (does that make a man repeller or getter, knowing me I'm going to guess repeller…).

    I love the kermit the frog green of the dress, it makes me feel like an awesome sesame street character, Irene the fashion fiend or something like that…. and will go wonderfully with my new old man leopard print loafers (which I think you would appreciate). There are also insane layering opportunities here…tights, coats, vest, sweaters, and weaponry jewelry go with this froggy masterpiece.

    I feel this romper will allow me to reach my ultimate man repelling potential and make my lacking summer wardrobe complete.
    Please pick me because we are middle eastern sistas and I love your blog.

    Hello fellow Repeller. I am following your instructions as carefully as I would take care of an item from Jay Godfrey's collection.
    –Following your boy Jay now.
    –Well, as far as dresses go I am infatuated with this one: http://jaygodfrey.com/shop/dresses/villagiostrapless-jersey-dress-wtiered-ruffles/
    I can already imagine my husband looking at it in confusion and tentatively asking me why I have ruffle butt syndrome, effectively making my ass look whale-like. I can imagine our dinner companions observing the orange tiered ruffles contrasted with my pasty face and arms, and feeling uncomfortable. But slightly awed at my bravery to accessorize just so. I love it already. But the piece here by Jay Godfrey that made my heart beat extra fast and made me slightly less ashamed of my flat chest was this fantastic, sequin-mad, over the top, spectacular piece: http://jaygodfrey.com/shop/tops-bottoms/close-geometric-beaded-dolman/
    I already have the skirt I want to pair it with. The more I think about it, the more I am now convinced I require this in my life.

    And now. A haiku for you:

    London needs more yous
    Wear, without care
    I suck at haiku.

    Thank you for your constant inspiration ManRepeller!

    Its easy to see Jay Godfrey had you in mind, not to mention keeping viagra in business, when he designed the MANN button up romper, my personal favourite. The title itself, with that scrumptious little space between MANN and button just screaming out for 8 more letters R-E-P-E-L-L-E-R. Who could turn down the attraction of repelling with the options for diaper bum, blousing, and avoiding tenting (that one is for you MR!)all wrapped up kermit the frog green!

    That was really tough. It was a close one between the layered post its dress (Tabitha T-back Halter), and the sideways mullet dress (Predock coloblock kimono sleeve dress)

    I love me some post its, but I the kimono dress takes it.

    I think that may or may not have something to do with the fact that at first glance I read "coloblock" as "cockblock".
    A cockblocking sideways mullet is just what the manrepelling doctor ordered.

    Dear de koonig;

    although you are part of the resort collection, generally reserved for rich people who don't take the E train to the airport for vacation and travel with the same bag they backpacked around Europe with post college in 1999, I still think we could have a nice life together.

    I've kind of forgotten about fushia now that I live in NYC and wear only grey & black, but it would make my midwestern mother SOOOO happy if I wore you!

    If you aren't available, I would love your cousin Barkley. I can't promise him I'd take him to a fancy resort, but maybe a nice restaurant would suffice?

    Dear HAYES one shoulder dress,

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Your beautiful and bright Ikat print is totally on-trend and full of all the colors of sunset. The blue, purple, pink, orange and red of you take me away to those blissful evenings at the beach and the seemingly endless lazy summer days. Your flowing kimono sleeve is like a river, a river of silk, the softest and mot luxurious of all the fabrics, the fabric of royalty. You must have been woven with the utmost care, and dyed with love, and sewn by the dexterous hands of someone who loved you as much as I now do. All the steps have been taken to bring us together. HAYES, I hope upon hopes, and dream upon dreams to someday be united with you, and be the girl to feel the lavish caress of your silk, bear the beautiful colors of your print, and brandish your awesome kimono sleeve.

    Love Always,

    I love this dress: http://jaygodfrey.com/shop/new-arrivals/predock-coloblock-kimono-sleeve-dress/

    because, while the pink/red combo is so hot right now, the drapey-ness of the dress gives the illusion of oh, this old thing? it's actually a tablecloth I quickly threw over my shoulder because I realized my house was on far whilst in the shower." And while THAT would normally make for quite a man-attracting ensemble, I'm pretty sure it can be happily toned down and even thrust into repel-zone by the addition of combat boots and a bulky jacket. Or maybe that one-shoulder backpack Gap came out with about 10 yrs ago. I'm crossing my fingers that it crosses the right shoulder so that, with the dress, all shoulders are effectively covered. I think orange tights would also add a nice effect, and even more repellage, don't you?

    I liked you on facebook, and am following Jay Godfrey on Twitter. Also, I think you're the BEE'S KNEES, if that helps my chances any. ;)

    To the One and Only Man Repeller,

    I'm not nearly clever enough to make up some poem, song, etc. – but I will tell you my favorite Jay Godrey dress is the Paradis One Shoulder Kimono Dress. Why you might ask? Well first off, every man repelling girl should have a that "go-to" one shoulder dress that well, looks like a trendy drape.

    Drape dresses/shirts are the best kinds out there, and I'm being serious. My friends and I often refer to shirts/dresses with the qualities of drape-looks as bat sleeves (if you raise your arms, you will look like a bat, and in this case, a one shoulder dress will make you look like a half bat).

    We feel this type of one-shoulder bat sleeved dress is perfect if you are feeling fat or just ate a huge yummy, "i'm going to barf" dinner. But, I'd personally wear it even if I was having a skinny day too – it's just that cool.

    So now that I've written a short novel, at least you know why the Kimono dress is my personal favorite!

    Sincerely,
    Beth (bdoud11@hotmail.com)

    even put them in "there"
    so people yelled WHERE??
    while she left behind a long trail of sequins

    okay, not my best work, but i really love the KIKI Geometric beaded sheath. that shit is DOPE!

    I would be thrilled to be gifted the IMPERIAL RACERBACK TANK DRESS and I will tell you why for 26 simple reasons:

    A – Another dress would be less perfect
    B – Boring it is not
    C – Can you imagine it with royal blue heels?
    D – Duh?!?
    E – Every girl needs a ruffled dress in her closet
    F – F***ing Fuchsia ruffles!!
    G – Gimme, gimme, gimme!
    H – Half of it looks like a clown's costume
    I – In reality, it is a recycled clown's costume
    J – Just kidding:::
    K – Kitsch? (There is a serious lack of words starting with K for describing Anti-Man Repellants)
    L – Love it, of course
    M – Men will be confused whether to find it Hot or Not
    N – Not, I hope (why else would I want to wear it?)
    O – Orange plus f***ing fuchsia, dude!
    P – Plus RUFFLES!!!
    Q – Quite easy to make a point with ruffles, me thinks…
    R – Right up my "No (M)entry" alley
    S – Sexy, yet confusingly weird
    T – Too much color, too many ruffles, too short, too in-your-face, too good to be true!
    U – Underwear would be appropriate
    V – Verily, it would look even better paired with something of the neon category
    W – What else can I say?
    X – Xanax is the preferred medication for men getting anxiety attacks because of the color-blockedness
    Y – Y-Chromosomes may likely be a little bit offended
    Z – Za Za Zoom!!

    I would love to win Godfrey's chartreuse and grey cock block dress
    Wearing it would leave me with no men to impress
    I would pair it with my new jean cut off vest that I've been dying to wear
    And probably some other accessories that man-getters wouldn't dare
    I would wear my black combat boots to scare even more men off
    Causing my grandmother to be offended and scoff
    I would of course rock a top knot on my head
    Sending all men running away from my bed
    I might even add a little obnoxious bow tie
    And if I don't win this contest I will seriously be bummed that's no lie

    . . . I already "like" you on facebook as well as in real life, and I am now forced to set up a twitter account and follow Jay Godfrey in a desperate attempt to win this dress and further repel any penis that may even be tempted to look my way . . .

    Oh. Oh, God.

    I NEED the Clemente Longsleeve Dress w/Beaded Shoulder. I need it. My preecccciouussss. I can't even explain everything I love about this dress. The color (my personal favorite). The shape. The length. Oh baby, and the longsleeves really do it for me. They make me feel tinglies near my danger zone. And the beaded shoulders remind me of a matador jacket, which is A+ in my book. YUM. Plus, I'm headed home to Alaska for the summer. Alaska's cold. I need the extra coverage on my poor wee little arms.

    Because I'm an extremely talented poet and feel the need to express myself in various artistic forms, I've crafted this deceivingly simplistic haiki for your eyes to feast upon. It delicately sums up how I would man repel the shit out of this little slice of heaven:

    me in that blue dress
    will make penises cry and
    vaginas rejoice

    Complex, huh? I know, I know. It's a lot to take in.

    It should also be noted that I'm a full-time college student and, consequently, poor as fuck. I have been cursed with a taste for the finer things in life and this dress is the finest of the fine. If I were to win it, I would treat it as if it were my own child. Seriously. I'd build a fucking cradle for it.

    And, lastly, I'd like to make it clear that I currently am rocking pink eye in both eyes and a fever of 103.5, so I'm not super coherent right now. However, on the plus side, this has morphed me into the epitome of a man repeller. My brother-in-law literally screamed when he saw me. While being quarantined the past two days, I have taught myself the raps in three Biggie Smalls songs, all while donning no makeup, unwashed hair and a floral caftan that makes me look pregnant. Wouldn't this image be complete if I could throw the caftan aside and replace it with that gorgeous Jay Godfrey dress? I think so too.

    Also, I'll make this face if I win: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f352/hannahrosey/Picture0485.jpg

    Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down,
    And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there;
    I'll tell you how I came across the Man Re-pel-ler.
    In Austin, TX not born, but raised,
    In hand-me-downs, what I wore most of my days.
    Nerding out, maxing, relaxing all cool, and doin’ some shopping outside of school,
    When a couple of guys, they were oh so cool,
    Started making fun of my style, those fools.
    I had one great idea and my mom was proud, she said "you're a born man repeller, go find something loud."
    I found the blog the very next year, and what do you know – Jay Godfrey’s contest is here.
    Mom gave me a huggin’ and she gave me my purse, I put my leopard on and said,
    “I might as well kick it man repeller style, yo this isn't bad.”
    Wearing bowties and socks with sandals, is this what the people of singledom livin' like?
    Hmm this might be alright!
    I picked the POST dress and when it came near, I wore it with brogues –hey, I had no fear.
    If anything I could say the green and blue was rad, but I thought nah forget it, add pink and red and make the boys mad.
    I pulled up to a date about 5th of May,
    And the dude yelled to me, "Yo, girl – check ya later!"
    Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit home alone as a man repeller.

    For the Jay Godfrey contest, I chose the MANN button up romper as my favorite garment (http://jaygodfrey.com/shop/dresses/). Not only did I love the color and style when I first saw it, but the fact that it was named MANN seemed only fitting. Rompers are very "man repelling." Period. But, I continue to wear them. No man wants to see a women in a one piece? Let me tell you why.

    Really unflattering on most women if you don't have the body for it. Even if you do, you are considered lucky to look good in one of these.

    OMG – most people's reaction when they see me in a romper. Is this good or bad? Still trying to figure that out.

    Men can't see what they want in a romper. Imagination is key!

    Peeing is one thing that holds me back from wearing a romper. It's not easy. Imagine what other things could be difficult in this garment.

    Even if your boyfriend says you look good. Don't believe it. It's called a white lie.

    Romper. The name alone is not sexy. Doesn't it sound like a good name for a bunny?

    Summer is here. Which means, I will not stop wearing my romper.

  • The Very Horny Man Repeller

    Man Repeller-
    Inspired by our favorite of your posts, "Who Wore it Best," here's our spin-Off; Who Wrote it Best?

    The Very Hungry Caterpillar
    In the light of the moon, the little man getter lay on her bed
    One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and pop!
    She put on her Kelly Green Jay Godfrey Mann button-up romper.
    She started to look for some accessories.
    On Monday she put on a red micromesh twist scarf from American Apparel.
    But she still wasn’t satisfied.
    On Tuesday she put on a pair of Cheap Monday Scrying Sunglasses,
    But she still wasn’t satisfied.
    On Wednesday she put on a khaki sheepskin vest by Les Chiffoniers,
    But she still wasn’t satisfied.
    On Thursday she put on Giuseppe Zanotti Ankle Wrap Open Toe booties,
    But she still wasn’t satisfied.
    On Friday she put on a jade Kenneth Jay-Lane link necklace,
    But she still wasn’t satisfied.
    On Saturday she grabbed a sunflower Mar Y Sol Opal clutch,
    And that night, she had a lady boner.
    Now she was horny-
    and she wasn’t a man getter anymore
    She was confused.
    She wrapped herself in a sweater,
    And she stayed inside for more than two weeks.
    Then she nibbled on some matzo,
    Pushed her way out, and
    She was a Man Repeller.

    So who wrote it best, The Very Hungry Caterpillar? by Eric Carle?
    (We tried posting a picture, but since we're studying in the Man Repelling Capital of the world, Paris, country URL restrictions are link repelling, awkward)
    Or the Very Horny Man Repeller, by Erin Cunningham, Blair Boyajian, and Christina Holevas (in their Kelly Green Mann Romper- don't worry, we can all share!)

    Limerick on the Kiki Beaded Geometric Sheath
    by Virginia Farrell

    In my experience, a potential mate
    Upon seeing scales, will exhibit such hate
    That one's social life
    Will cease to be rife
    Can mermaids even copulate?

    I literally created a twitter account just to have a shot at winning this shebang. All right, I have to set this up: imagine a pasty white girl with freckles and curly hair trying to rap the following song.
    Disclaimer: I can't actually rap worth crap, I just pretend I'm badass.
    The following rap goes with this particular beat:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYxzf-NQtUk

    What up everybody? Guess who's back?
    K Sieggie's up with a brand new rap
    Writing this one for all my fellow repellos
    Cuz we know how to make a guys wang go jelloooo
    Well I've got my eye on this Jay Godfrey dress
    "KIKI geometric beaded sheath" it's called, but I digress
    With all the crazy beading in the front and mostly plain back
    Should be called "opposite mullet dress" and I want it on my clothes rack!
    Uh, so many sequins all in one place
    Like a shiny plate of armor to keep the fellas away
    And look at the front, above the model's knees in the center
    You'll see what looks like a vajazzled labia, what could be better?
    All you need to add is some crazy striped socks
    Colorblock heels and a bow tie, this outfit rocks!
    Maybe a blazer, one bracelet or probably three
    With this dress, you can be sure the men will not want thee!

    Yeah yeah, I tried to come up with a better rhyme then "thee" for three, but failed. Sue me.
    And I made that rap name up. No one actually calls me "K Sieggie".

    I want the Hayes One Shoulder Dress.
    Reasons why:
    -The long sleeve is perfect for concealing the twin that I partially absorbed during pregnancy, which is now a mangle of dead snaggle-tooth and limp hair on my left bicep. Thank god it's stopped stalking since I started to feed it bourbon
    -The sleeve is also perfect for when, in a drunken fit, I want to repel men, yet attract nerds with an alluring Phantom of the Opera and/or Batman-esque flair.
    -My great grandmother had a couch with the same print. NOSTALGIA.
    -Dress is made from 100% silk. Although silk worms are good way to attract a stylish man's pant-worm, the belts and socks I plan to wear with this will repel him like two negatively charged frump-tonium ions.
    -My arm-lump's name is Steve Buscemi. He likes it too.

    I was going to write a haiku, but then I thought:

    Haiku's are pretty,
    But sometimes, the don't make sense.

    BLURG! Typo.

    Haiku's are pretty,
    But sometimes, they don't make sense.
    Refrigerator.

    Also, thought of another reason for this dress:
    The print is quite distracting, so when I go up to men and say awkward pick-up lines like: "I wanna be on your face like a beard on Lincoln" they won't really pay attention.

    I LOVE the SUMMERS color block dress! So much so that I now have a twitter account just to follow you (and Jay Godfrey, I follow directions). I sensed that the haiku joke was more of an expression of an unconscious wish for a multitude of haikus taking over your comments thread (they're very violent and power-hungry), so here I go, fulfilling your desires (but not in a dirty way):

    Get ready to twirl!

  • http://icansewthat.wordpress.com/ icansewthat

    Reasons the KIKI Geometric beaded sheath is the ultimate Man Repelling dress:

    1) It's covered in beads. Boys hate beads.

    2) You get an opportunity to win a nice dress, and you pick the one with the least day-to-day wearability.

    3) IT HAS A GIANT BEADED VAG IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!

    10 things I hate about this dress poem

    I hate the way you call to me,

    and the way you flaunt your flair.

    I hate the way you set the bar,

    I hate it when you stare.

    I hate your big dumb price tag

    and the way you stay on my mind.

    I hate you so much it makes me sick,

    it even makes me rhyme.

    I hate the way you’re always pretty,

    I hate it when you shine.

    I hate it when you make me smile,

    even worse when you make me pine.

    I hate it that you’re not around,

    and the fact that I can’t have you.

    But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you,

    not even close…

    not even a little bit…

    Not even at all…

    I actually really want to own you and the only way I can is by entering this contest.

    Wait, that didn’t rhyme. Oh, well.

    Ode to CLOSE Geometric Beaded Dolman:

    Of cobblestone front and sheer by the back,

    This piece provides sequined umph that I lack.

    Paired with shorts or pants of repelling sorts,

    This top and I could be more than cohorts.

    I wish that someday soon you'll be mine,

    Till then, you must know, I'll do nothing but pine.

    I've read some of your comments, and got pretty much scared.
    DAMM, this people really ARE good.
    Even if I think I have 0 chances to win this thing, I'm so absolutelly in love with this Motherwell One Shoulder Alabaster Belted Dress that I MUST take a shot.
    I can not even rhyme, not even write an epic text, but I surelly can tell why this is a so amazing dress for me.
    It combines 3 thing I'm absolutelly crazy about:
    1. the ballerina look
    2. the one shoulder cut
    3. the f** perfect COLOUR!
    It'll show the world (and my dad) a pure image outside, hiding a wild brazilian young dreamilly girl, and I love this MISTERY thing clothes allowed us to do.
    PLUS, I can't afford this me-made-perfect dress!
    Sorry for the messed up english, I'm brazilian!

    Congratulation for your work, I'm a huge fan, almost pee in my panties every time I read your blog! You brought the missing humor to fashion world!

    I LOVE the barkley ruffle shift dress that you have on. I'm graduating from high school and go to a private school, where there is no trace of fashion among the sea of polo button down shirts. The graduation dress situation is as follows: Find a white dress before the bitch next to you grabs it. There's a facebook group to make sure we don't have matching dresses. Obviously all of the Lily Pultzer and JCrew dresses were claimed within the first week of putting dibs down, but this dress would blow everyone away. I'd absolutely wear it with as excessive amount of jewelry possible that would still allow for properly balanced walking/ accepting of my diploma. Love your blog!

    Big fan of the Tabitha t-back halter w. square neck dress for the following reasons:
    1) It has a witch's name (umm Passions? anyone?)
    2) The layered panels are like a bunch'o labia went straight rigor-mortis style and folded ever so gently on top of one another…and there's really no greater thing than that
    3) It would look great with my colouring, which is much like yours, minus the Judaism. And finally,
    4) I was able to use the words "labia," "rigor-mortis," and reference Passions in one foul swoop.

    You are awesome.

    j- joe mccarthy, richard nixon, studebaker, television
    k- khaki (irrelevant to this particular situation but what a word)
    l- like. as in i'd like you on facebook. are fb bribes accepted?

Not only did I create a bit of poetry, but it serves it's second purpose as a sweet piece of art for your wall. No? Possibly your refrigerator then. Also notice the nice curvature on the right side, and the apparent lack thereof on the left. As science tells us, Symmetry= primal sexual attraction. Therefore, without our symmetry we are nothing if not Man Repellers!

    My fav-rite piece is call'd "Post" Cowl Sleeve dress,
    It has block-ed co-lours I must pos-sess,
    With lep-re-chaun green I will look my best,
    One sweet blue stripe is to a-dorn my chest,
    All the men will flee when I shout "Fuck Yes!"
    If I t'were to ob-tain that bad-ass dress.

    I want that dress ("POST" cowl sleeve colorblock shirt dress) so bad it hurts. I want it so bad I attempted iambic pentameter (William Shakespeare I am not). And that's pretty damn bad.

Save me from the ultimate Man Repeller: spandex workout pants and oversized t-shirts. I must feel alive again!!! Baptize me in white ruffles!

    My favorite one is the BARKLEY ruffle shift dress, just like the one you are using.

    Why I liked it? Well, I'm 6 months pregnant and I will need to look fabulous, afterall, I wanna be a very elegant mother :D I just need some fashion stimulus to stand this period, when I'm looking like a really man repeller!

    P.s: I like you on fb, but I always liked you here :D

I would absolutly LOVE the chance to give my prom date(and hopefully future boyfriend??) the best gift ever… A fashionable date that NO other boy will want, cause that's how hard i repel! this AMAZING blue dress is barfing class and is everything i could imagine in my dream prom dress. my email is maggiepbc@aol.com and i already have the perfect red hot swade, vintage pumps to pair the dress. I would combust if i was able to show up to my limo for prom and repel my date into my arms. thank you so much for your continual posts hat make my life more fashionable and the chance at this lavish garment!!

    I once thought there could be nothing finer
    Than a purse that looked like a vagina (don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about)
    Now I’m happy to say
    That MR showed me the way
    And now instead I wear a man bowner

    Okay, this has nothing to do with dresses but I thought a limerick was shorter than a sonnet and made more lyrical (limercal?) sense to me, although let me tell you it was terribly difficult to type while doing spirit fingers. I’m just saying.

    I am hearting the Barkley dress and also the Motherwell belted dress. Both in white, I’m sensing a theme. Both dresses oh-so-man-getting if one so chose, but oh-ho! Don’t we know there is nothing more amusing than taking a fabulous man-getting frock to trick those pesky testosterone carriers and turning it into an MR ensemble? Watching their eyes widen in fear and confusion when they realize … we are mixing prints! And lengths! And why do we have so many layers on for god’s sake, not to mention a top knot? Oh the horror (they cry)!

    Yep, just another day in the office …

    I want the "Clemente long sleeved dress with beaded shoulder."

    Have you SEEN the shoulders on that baby? They'd be perfect for staving off any particularly persistent mannies with one simple dropped-shoulder-rugby-style-tackle move. Which is my personal favourite at the clubs. Because. You know. I love the clubs. So long as my clothing has appropriate weaponry to fend off any men too drank too notice the sharp shanks on my shiny shoulders.

    This dress would be the perfect addition to my arsenal of dance-floor appropriate clothing that says to the mannies "you're selling it, but… I'm celibate."

    Whoever said, “You can have too many jewels!” was rampant with jealousy of the girl wearing the Kiki Geometric beaded sheath. Or perhaps it was a man. Regardless, this dress is necessary for any man repeller’s closet, and I would be honored to represent you and your man-repelling ways with this dress. While I am indeed saddened the bedazzled front may detract from my short, young boy figure and actually make me appear to have a chest, I think I can make it work. I would be especially excited to terrify potential suitors when I turn around and reveal the resemblance this dress has to very sparkly sushi. Who doesn’t love sushi?! No suitor of mine, let me tell you.

    If I’m not going to be repelling in the Kiki dress, I would love to take a shot at it, and “blouse,” if you will, in the Barkley ruffle shift dress. Thank you for the opportunity to repel as well as you do. You are my fashion idol.

    With love and man repelling encouragement,

    Got all up on the twitter for you whoop whoop!

    Love the ROWELL elbow sleeve color block jersey dress:

    More zebra troll than pussycat doll
    It may be tight but paired with rouched tights is the anti-meow
    Men are confused is it a dress or a skirt and top….or a plane?
    Colour blocking with no colour is in reality a block de la cock
    Who cares, paired with my OTT layering I'm game (not in reference to the game of love.)

My fave garment is the BRYANT Asymmetrical bow applique t-shirt. I love fashion and I also like drawing, so a t-shirt that looked like a plain canvas that could anytime be painted looked like the perfect combination to me. IDK(you know that means I Don't Know, right? Well, if you didn't know, good news: YOU KNOW NOW!) I just like it and would love to have it in my wardrobe.

    Miss Leandra,

    This spring I started an amazing internship at an advertising agency in center city Philadelphia. Sometimes I feel like the luckiest girl in the world because of the marketing experience I am getting. Working as an account coordinator, my bosses who are extremely stylish have given me the opportunity and great responsibility to sit in or be apart of branding meetings and meet with clients.

    With great responsibility and the hard work I've put in comes style. I don't just want to show my book smarts any more I want to look good now that I have the chance to make an impression on clients!

    Nothing would make me feel more confident about my self than wearing Jay Godfrey's Hanson Square Neck Ruffle Dress. The dress is perfect for me, it is flirtatious with ruffles and fun with the exaggerated zipper, but also screams LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

    Thank you so much for giving your fellow repellers a chance to win an awesome dress!

    Sincerely,
    Zareen Helaly

    Girlllll, I like ya on the book of Faces, I follow Jay Godfrey, I'm making dreams happen. Well, YOU are actually. And thank you for that. The BRYANT Asymmetrical bow applique t-shirt is fierce, fun, and can be easily dressed up or down to repel any man, boy or dude. I love the draping of it, because being the skinny minny flat-chested sweet thang that I am, any chance to make myself look twice as big as I am is a chance I'm taking. So please, from one fashionable sista to another, help me out.
    You are my favorite blogger in the whole entire REPELIVERSE, and I'm OBSESSED with all things Man Repeller. TRUTH.

    So as I listen to some baby-makin' R&B; and dance like a spaz-tastic pair of bones (flailing and flapping about and such, pretending my arms are really the size of baby arms), I will be crossing my fingers that THE QUEEN REPELLER PICKS ME :)

    God, I love all of the dresses, especially the one-sleeved ones that say "I'm cold, but just on one arm!"

    But the VILLAGIO Strapless jersey dress w/tiered ruffles makes me want to eat peach cobbler all day.

    No matter how decievingly attractive paired with nude pumps and a drop-dead gorgeous model, this dress is sure to have boundless potential in repelling men, paired with a crop top, leather jacket, or giant socks.

    Plus, it screams vagina.

    With the right styling, no man will want to unzip that dress, even with the tempting zipper.

    Here's my little doggerel poem (because I am classy):

    My eyes layed to rest on that dress.
    I had to hold back the "FUCK YES!"
    For already my coworkers
    thought me a mess.

    Ruffles and peach scream "CLASS"
    Yet I do not express it, alas.
    All the streetwalker lurkers
    wished their vaginas
    Looked like the front of this dress.

    (I just noticed you posted this on May 4th, and although it is no longer relevent, I just had to.)

    She walked into my office that day like Trouble, with a capital T. Short, sassy, one-armed and cobalt, she was my kinda dress. If she'd had legs you could tell they would've gone for miles. Some dames don't like that, the one-armed thing, or the cobalt, but me, I'm an individual who doesn't know what's good for her. And when I saw that skirt's curtainy shape billowing in the wind, 100% silk and all alone, I knew I had to take her home. I know it's crazy, but I wanted to be a hero for this crazy little sideways thing gone wrong, to keep her safe from the world's cruel reality…

    In this business, you become hard and embittered, but this day, this dress, it made me want to go wild and wear it with striped tights and cowboy boots. It made me want to sweep it up in my arms, pair it with six belts and a bow tie, and fly off into the sunset. When that dress walked into my office, that cold, miserable, May day, I knew I was in love.

    Hi!

    I really like the Kiki geometric beaded sheath. I composed a song for it to the tune of John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane."

    Little ditty about a beaded sheath
    a New York-based frock that glitters in my dreams.
    Jackie's gonna be a football star
    but I don't care, I'll take geometric beading over his car

    Sucking on chili dogs and wearing 100% silk
    Jackie ran home, he's got cows to milk
    I've got my hands between my knees
    straightening my granny panties that came loose in the breeze
    And I say a

    Oh yeah, I love that dress
    Ima wear it to my geometry test
    Oh yeah, love that dress
    Chili dogs and sparkly sheaths are key to my success

    Thanks for your blog and for the opportunity to make up lyrics to a really annoying song while at work!

I am just trying to sparkle and shine amongst society's collection of people and I think sometimes I am a geometric puzzle still trying to piece my life together and once it all fits; it will look fabulous on.

    imma need the kiki sheath. as a small child i couldn't say my name (kate) so i called myself kiki. the dress calls for a plumed native american headdress and brass knuckles. i'd do it proud. the men of san francisco won't know what hit them, and it will turn out it was me. with the brass knuckles, you see. that go with the dress. you follow, i'm sure.

    I may be going to do an English degree, but I had to Google 'haiku' so I probably shouldn't write one. However, I like the Paradis one-shoulder Kimono dress. This is for several reasons:
    1) Cobalt blue is eye-catching enough to gain people's attention (and then frighten them with my man repelling skills). This is especially helpful in the grotty clubs I frequent as a student, where I am actively trying to man repel. Also, when I'm cold from not having two sleeves and have attractive blue blotches, I can colour co-ordinate with the dress like a patchy chameleon.
    2) It has one sleeve, which will confuse my boyfriend but impress my friends with my dedication to fashion, through the one-armed goosebumps.
    3) It is crying out for some non-nude heels such as platform-soled seven inch dominatrix boots (confusing my boyfriend further)
    4) It has an extra bit of material, that I could possibly use to shield my face from the papparazzi – unlikely – or wrap around my cold arm – more likely.
    5) Aside from my school prom dress, I don't own much other than skin coloured things with flaps, pretend pockets and some labia-esque ruffles. A change would be nice.
    6) I have a grand total of £3.26 in my bank account because of a paradoxical fondness for McDonald's. The dress is loose enough to cover the food baby.

    AND I just had to retype this because of my poor internet connection. Take pity.

    KIKI geometric beaded sheath. because sheath is the most underrated word on jay godfrey's website.

    i want to be a discoball for halloween where this sheath would shutdown all other discoballs within the 10 mile radius. i plan on wearing it as a shirt crossover thereafter.

    your followers are pretty awesome though. dont think i could ever outdo them. really an endangered species of sorts. but i think you are too.

    Leandra. Obviously, my life is not complete without the SNYDER v-neck cowl back dress. This seemingly sexy little number would be eye catching to any man. But why waste such potential?

    Oh my! This is an issue… see I have a sundress addiction, it's a problem, my parents have begun to send me to doctors! Ahhhh who am I kidding! You can't have to many sundresses! Or dress for that matter… well if we're going for honesty I may as well be full out, you can't have to much clothing! Anyway I totally working on this whole grandma look, very repeller-esque, but I'm need some new pieces for it! That lovely blue romper is ideal! The MANN button up romper! Loving the name! I the DAKAR easy dolman top is also an excellent addition to my collection! Although if I'm truly honest I want that SUMMERS color block dress even though I can't wear yellow I'd make all kinds of exceptions for that dress…

    Anyway as you can see I carry on and I love clothing. I know I didn't go for a haiku, but I figured everyone would and I save my poetry for my own blog. If I don't win I can only hope that I made you smile or laugh today :)

    She had a closet full of boring things, but what she really needed was a whole lotta bling(s).

    Then one day she found a top, that she knew would make all traffic stop.

    I'd look sassy and brassy,
    with a whole lot of assy
    –won't you please say, "I'll buy it for you!"?

    A poem about the Hayes One-Shoulder Dress (the first letters spell REPEL):

    Repelling of men this dress does not
    Even Kid Rock in it would look hot
    Plentiful colors make this dress shine
    Eventually when I'm rich, I'll make it mine
    Lo and behold, I'll probably be fat by then

    It's too bad the word REPEL has an odd number of letters, or else it may really have rhymed…

    Hola! So I see you have enough poetry to go around… I'm not gonna write a poem or try to replicate your reasons why you love the (absolutely gorgeous) white ruffle dress you're wearing on your post, or follow your advice and write you a haiku.
    Instead I'm just gonna say I'm head over heels in love with the predock coloblock kimono sleeve dress because:

    1. It's got Bianca Jagger written all over it and, honestly, who doesn't LOVE Bianca Jagger??? No one that's who

    2. Don't you just want to twirl on it when you see it? I do, so bad. And any dress who gets you to twirl is just worth owning, right?

    and 3. It's a colorblock dress. Need I say more?

    I could go on and on and on and on about a million different reasons why I could marry this dress and tell you all about our life together, but I guess you probably wouldn't want read it (or would you?).
    So there they are, the three main reasons why the predock coloblock kimono sleeve dress and me should live happily ever after.

    Wishing and hoping and praying you pick ME

    Dear MR,
    I think the best way to sum up my love for the post-cowl colorblock Jay Godfrey dress is to count down the top 10 ways my boyfriend uses the phrase "man repeller" Note: Said boyfriend has little to no fashion know-how and owns more gym shorts than I do shoes (which is a lot) Additionally we attend a very preppy private east coast law school that isn't so appreciative

    10. Did you kill a yak for that vest, it is a real man repeller?
    9. Did the man repeller tell you to tie a towel around your head or is your hair still wet? (referring to my self created scarf turban)
    8. People will think I am robbing the cradle with those man repeller shoes on (baby pink and white cut out brogues)
    7. Does the man repeller advise a crayola box throw up on you this morning? (color blocking)
    6. What is the purpose of wearing two watches is one to alert you at which time I will be completely man repelled by you?
    5. Does man repeller have a crotch that low as well or do only some girls have that problem? (harem pants)
    4. Please wear those man repelling grandma pants out with your friends. (pleated pants)
    3. You look like my grandmother in those man repeller shades.
    2. Are those man repeller shoulder pads supposed to entice me to touch you or just a way of saying that its that time of the month?
    1. Should I bow or just expect a happy ending with that huge man repelling bun of hair on top of your head?

    XO,
    Rachel

    Upon viewing the dresses I realized that the only one for me was the Lime Green Barbie Girl Tennis Dress – erm, I mean summers color block dress.

    First off, it has a somewhat strange neckline. Who doesn't want to wear something like that? (The real question here is who doesn't want me to wear it, which is precisely why I want to.)Secondly, it's greeny-yellowy-neon hues are sure to send all men packing. No doubt the only people who will truly appreciate it will be me and my fellow man-repelling women. Thirdly…well, here's the sad tale. My entire wardrobe, or most of it anyway, is full of whites and black and grays. These neutral, non-offending shades are seriously getting to me. While it's not impossible to think of fantastic outfits in neutralish tones, I realize that every wardrobe needs to have at least some pops of gorgeously heinous color, and what better way to achieve this than with this dress? Mm. Delicioso. Fantástico. And, since I can't think of any more good spanish words, I'll go with a swedish Underbar.

    Just in case you didn't catch that (I actually didn't say so don't worry, you're not completely bonkers as of yet..), size four would be lovely.

    My name is Courtney, and I adore the JENNINGS ONE SHOULDER DRESS. I like the bright color & shoulder detail! Most men are repelled by too much pink and unnecessary ruffles, so it is really the best choice for man repeller in sunny, Austin, TX. :)

    Wearing Scrubs all day,
    Is fairly boring I say,
    We only get to wear one colour
    Navy blue and no other

    When I get off work each day
    I strip the scrubs off right away
    I put on clothes of yellow, and green
    I love fun things that have some sheen (not the charlie that is)

    My coworker asked me nicely
    Did Rainbow Bright dress you so precisely?
    I often look like rainbow vomit
    and have as many sparkles as a comet!

    I love the look of the POST cowl sleeve colorblock shirt dress (wow long name!)
    It's totally set my heart aflame!
    It would make me feel so happy
    To dance around in a garment so snappy!

    Cheers! (hehe that was fun to write!)

    My favorite is the Tabitha T-back halter.

    The Hayes One Shoulder Dress is the best
    Without it in my life how could I rest?
    The pattern resembles something of Thakoon
    Wearing it I would feel like a butterfly emerging from a Cocoon
    The colors remind me of Spring
    It even makes me want to Sing
    How can I ever go to sleep?
    That dress & I were meant to be.

    Ode to a Little White Dress
    By: Elena Maria Haro Sipes
    There once was a girl from Colorado,
    Who loved to dress with bravado.
    Her stilettos were deadly,
    And big necklaces a medley.
    But every time she went out,
    She just had to pout,
    For she longed to impress,
    With a spanking new dress!

    This dress made her heart pitter-patter,
    And it caused her mouth to chatter,
    For its beauty was so great,
    That she would not abate,
    Until she could show it with pride,
    So that all of her friends cried,
    Because they could not stand,
    Exactly how grand,
    Her new style
    Made her smile!

    The dress it was white,
    And oh, so bright.
    The bottom had labial folds,
    Which certainly seemed to uphold,
    What the best blogger ever had said,
    About designers liking to wed,
    Anatomical parts,
    And the dresses of tarts!

    So lady boners unite!
    Because we all must delight,
    Over this beautiful dress.
    And we must address,
    The talented Mr. Godfrey,
    (For I am certainly an adoree),
    Of his pretty, pretty clothes,
    Though once I’m done with it, it won’t attract beaus,
    For my inner man repeller is insistent,
    On keeping boys distant,
    But I won’t care!
    Fight me if you dare!
    I want this dress,
    So don’t make me digress,
    And don’t make me rhyme anymore!
    Because it’s becoming a bore,
    So help this girl from Colorado,
    To always dress with bravado.

    My mini-partner-in-crime, just turned 7-years is a regular follower of The Man Repeller. She absolutely adores your colourful and funny styles with lots of accesories and cute little fashion quirks.
    She is (apart from being the little fashion pride of her mother) turning into a pixie-man-repeller.

    Anyway, when I saw this contest, I invited her to look trough the Jay Godfrey dresses and point to the one she loved the most.
    A quick look-through (and many 'awws' and 'ihhhs' in between) she immediatly pointed to the POST cowl sleeve colorblock shirt dress (seen here: http://jaygodfrey.com/shop/dresses/post-cowl-sleeve-colorblock-shirt-dress/) as her favorite. And the mom (if you haven't figured it, I'm the mom) agrees. The dress is georgeus, with the green/blue colors, the lenght, the cut-out shoulders and (to my great joy) collar :D

    Should I win this dress, I would pair it with a long paisley pattern vest and pink/red wedges in honor of my pixie-man-repeller.

    Love this cowl sleeve colorblock shirt dress: http://jaygodfrey.com/shop/dresses/post-cowl-sleeve-colorblock-shirt-dress/

    and now a haiku:

    cowl around neck
    I would much rather have them
    on my shoulders please

    Urban Dictionary defines White as: According to Sir Isaac Newton white light is the effect of combining the visible colors of light in equal proportions. So white is all color combined to make white. Black is the absorption of all color. So black and white are opposites.

    So really, winning the white dress you don so repellingly would allow me to channel you, become a rainbow, and repel on levels that are unsee-able. Taking a lesson from the world's favorite clown, Bozo, and pairing said dress with neon colors on my face, such as bright orange on my kisser, would ensure that all men stay clear (as well as save me much needed dollars on various forms of birth control-who knew fashion could be so multi-faceted? perfzz.)

    Hi Leandra!

    I've taken a look at jay godfrey shop and from all the gorgeous garments from there I've chosen the Barkley ruffle shift dress…yeah, the same dress you were wearing in the post ..hi hi. Of course, there are strong reasons to do that:
    1. I don't have any white dress and this item is on my "summer must buy list" :D
    2. It's 100% silk – my favourite fabric.
    3. The shape is great and the dress could be styled in many ways.
    4. It's OK if both of us have the same dress, there are 99% chances that we wont be in the same room wearing this dress :) ) for the rest of 1% chances, I'll take the risk, because I would like to meet you in person :D

    Good luck to me!

    Hey Man Repeller!

    It's Odelia (or in the Twittersphere, GetOffOfMyCloud)…So you wanna give a Jay Godrey dress/shirt/tunic/smock away, heh?

    Ok, here's what I have to say about another of Jay's wildly atrocious yet coveted get-ups…(as adapted from David Bowie's "Fashion")…

    There's a brand new shirt and Pace is its name,
    That people with no homes similarly
    wear again and again (ahem…note torn sleeves),
    It's misshapen and its bland
    Causing male tension and fear,
    Jay does it over there
    but we don't do it over here (yet)

    Fugly – turn to the left
    Fugly – turn to the right
    We are the hideous squad
    And we're coming to town
    Beep beep beep beep

    Dress like me – Don't dress like me
    Screw up my sleeves – Don't screw up my sleeves Man repel with me – Don't man repel with me
    No – Beep-beep – Beep-beep

    There's a discoloured new shirt
    But it's very queer
    That trendsetters from good blogs
    Are talking this year
    It's odd and it's ridiculous
    I've not seen it before
    Please gift me a Pace while you're deflecting
    homies on the Boom Boom Room floor.

    Hey, Ms. Medine! Thanks for letting get this homework in, even at such a late hour. What a wonderfully absurd concoction is the Pace blouse, yes? Those DARN sleeves – I'm frothing at the mouth with glee…well, whether I win this contest or not…thanks for letting me find comfort. In, T.O. not everyone appreciates a man-repeller. Er, yes, I'm single. Why, what's your point?

    Lots of love,

    Odelia

    I feel relieved now i have found this community: man repelling not-anonymous. Hi, my name is Leticia and I have been man repelled since i have memories. My last guilty pleasure in order to keep my addiction is the KIKI Geometric beaded sheath.

    This community is great because we don't want to stop being repelled: we embrace it and we encourage other women to do the same. We can conquer the world!!

    Anyway, at first view this dress could be a man getting one. No problemo: all you have to do is having the right attitude: you can imagine you are a character from Stars War. No, not princess Leia: you are a Jedi knight: challenging, powerful, non stopping.

    So, an important question pop up here: what about geeks and freaks? Maybe they can still see that appealing flame in you… You already know the answer, babes: accesories will make it work: bring back your BCG (i own this pair: http://bit.ly/j1qX0F) and your Nicholas Kirkwood heels -socks or not up to you- and may the man repelling force be with you.

    Btw, my email es: leticia.verdugo@gmail.com
