It's certainly an 予期しない answer from a young woman who is mostly known for 令状ing about, and dressing in, high fashion. But Ms Medine, the author behind 攻撃する，衝突する fashion blog The Man Repeller, has never been one to 適合する - her blunt honesty and quick-witted style commentary turning her into a 世帯 指名する.

Her much-心配するd 調書をとる／予約する, which has the same sarcastic トン as her Web 場所／位置, is 始める，決める out as a 一連の essays about Ms Medine’s life; each chapter 指名するd after particular items of 着せる／賦与するing.

From childhood through to high school, college at The New School - during which she 開始する，打ち上げるd Man Repeller in April 2010 - her blog’s success and her 最近の wedding, the 調書をとる／予約する chronicles Ms Medine's biggest life 障害物s through one 巨大（な） fashion レンズ.

For instance, she recounts wearing long skirts and long-sleeve 最高の，を越すs to Ramaz, her 正統派の ユダヤ人の high school. She 令状s about 存在 kicked out of her grandmother’s hospital room after turning up in ripped ジーンズs shorts ('Darling, I know we’re in a 後退，不況, but surely your father can afford to buy you shorts without 穴を開けるs in them'); and about a pair of 減少（する）-crotch harem pants that, to her surprise, attracted two men, one of whom became her husband.

When asked whether she's still Man-Repelling, a 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 Ms Medine defined in 2010 as 'outfitting oneself in a sartorially 不快な／攻撃 way that will result in repelling members of the opposite sex,' she says she never really 始める，決める out to Man Repel men, but rather to give a 'nod to self 信用／信任'.

Ms Medine shrugs off the notion that young women might be afraid to wear 確かな 高度に-coveted fashion 傾向s that women adore and?men abhor (harem pants, boyfriend ジーンズs, 全体にわたるs, clogs, or 十分な-length jumpsuits, for example), for 恐れる of repelling men.

'You can't 許す that 逮捕 to permeate you psyche,' she explained. 'You have to keep a feeling of goodness in your exteriors.'

Although 'white socks' are up there on her 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of most embarrassing fashion moments ('I forgot to take off my socks!' she yelled after she lost her virginty age 19), Ms Medine （人命などを）奪う，主張するs she 'doesn't really get embarrassed' by her often eccentric choices. 'That's part of learning to be expressive,' she said.

Ms Medine, the author behind 攻撃する，衝突する fashion blog The Man Repeller, has become a 世帯 指名する thanks to her blunt honesty and quick-witted commentary on high fashion?

Ms Medine, who is frequently photographed in 高級な designer pieces and is subsequently asked how she afforded the expenses of blogging 十分な-time while 熟考する／考慮するing, grows cagey when asked whether her parents ever helped her.

'I never borrowed money from mom,' she said. 'I lived at home, but my parents never helped me. I worked hard and moved out. I 扱う／治療するd my blog like a 商売／仕事, hard work is important.'

指名するd one of the 25 best blogs of 2012 by Time magazine, with 1.5million unique page 見解（をとる）s per month, Ms Medine's hard work seems to have paid off.

However, she 収容する／認めるs: 'Through most of college I forwent recreational 努力するs to buy boots from Zara. That still happens frequently.'
