I am not sure why so many magazines are obsessed with lists. I stopped reading Forbes when they became the never ending list of 100/400/etc. This month Fast Company has its 100 Most Creative People in
Business. I don't know that I agree with their findings but I did spot one who I think just picked a blog name to attract attention, yep it's Leandra Medine's Man Repeller.com. Asserting that it's a site about trends women love and men hate, since 2010 the sote has taken off to attract six figure readership. Meandra rates 92 on the high end out of 100. 

Frankly the styles look about like what one would see in any fashion magazine. That's a $390 Givenchy Blazer at right, no price on the cut offs. But then the gal did spend four hours on the computer to find it, no bargain comes without sacrifice I guess. 

At any rate Meandra has a book deal coming in September and a staff that helps write the blog now. Clearly I am way too mainstream with my  blogs….So ladies, whaddya think?

Nate Silver who specizlizes in prediction polling is number one, Karl Rove and Dick Morris might consider giving him a call.
