FOR A DATE WITH: Laura Jane Takes Topshop- Volume 5,000,000

Oh, life! Your ceaseless trend towards the cruelly ironic never fails to amaze me! As if "For A Date With" days don't rub salt in the Oh God I Am So Single wound enough as it is, I just realized that today is my one-year anniversary of singletonism! Ouch. Is that normal? It seems like it can't be. How is it possible that I have made it through an entire year of romantic nothingness? I am a real trooper not to have committed suicide after three hundred and sixty-five straight days of my love life taking place solely within fake date outfit collages composed of images ganked from the Topshop website.

I was going to use this installment of "For A Date With: Scoresie Malorsies from the Greatest Store in the World" to celebrate the opening of Topshop's Soho outpost, creating looks based around hypothetical New York nabe-based dates, but, like, that's lame. I'm not Bond flippin' No. 9 over here. As if Grigori Rasputin could be bothered with strolling across the Williamsburg bridge and noshing on cinnamon toasties from Babycakes.

Come to think of it, maybe I've been single for a year because I do things like write weird Internet love letters to Rasputin on my website. Or perhaps dudes are just intimidated by my awesomeness? Either way- if I were in love, I'd probably be way too lazy to spend my evenings creating collages for you lucky readers of nogoodforme.com to check out. Three cheers for productivity!

It's totally because guys are intimidated by your supreme awesomeness! BTW you are my internet best friend crush. If I lived in Toronto I think we'd be buds.

Dude! Why are you not a dude? I wish you were a dude.

PS: thanks!

LJ you have epic taste in dudes.

I found this blog recently and I LOVE IT - I mean, where else on the interwebs can I find suggestions on what to wear on my date with a serial killer? Truly, priceless wisdom.

Also, though I suspect Rasputin would have initially been all, "I'm too cool and Russian for cinnamon toasties", his curiosity would have won out in the end.

Thanks so much, Crocodilianianana. You're probably right about Rasputin- even Grig couldn't resist the tantalizing aroma of a vegan cinnamon goodie made with whole grain flour and agave nectar.

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
