DRESS ME UP IN YOUR LOVE

If it were up to me, every female alive would dress like either the girl from Ratcatcher or Fairuza Balk from American History X minus the haircut and all the nazi shit. Fortunately for the crotch area of my pants, it is not up to me. It is up to each girl and boy how they want to dress themselves. But what if it were up to their boyfriend/girlfriend? What if instead of representing such pragmatic intangibles as "comfort" and "self-image", every single stitch of fabric on our body translated directly to a sick, lecherous thought buried deep in the brain of someone who would like to do hideous things to our genitals? We made six couples make each other over in accordance with their basest carnal desires, just to see just how horny our world would be. ASHLEY AND CHARLIE (BEFORE)  

Charlie says: “I’ve never been the type of guy who pays a lot of attention to what a girl is wearing, but I’ve focused more on that since I’ve been with Ashley because she has better taste than other girls I’ve dated. Her style is multifaceted and she always looks good whether she’s dressed casually or styled up.”

Ashley says: “I’m usually attracted to guys who don’t fuss over their clothes too much—in other words, somebody who doesn’t have better style than me. When I first met Charlie I definitely thought he was attractive but not overstyled. It can get out of hand in New York, and that’s something I take into account when I’m judging how someone dresses.” ASHELY AND CHARLIE (AFTER)

Charlie says: “Rachel can pretty much wear anything and look good, but I picked this outfit, which she wears quite a bit in the summertime, because it’s very light and short and revealing and simple. It shows a lot of leg, which really catches my eye. The color is very feminine and soft and, like I said, she gets to show off her great long legs.”

Rachel says: “Charlie is already on the right path and I don’t want him to stray to far from it. Following that logic, I picked out a plain striped shirt. It looks good and accentuates his shoulders, which I think is really sexy for most men and especially for him. His pants are simple, straight-legged dark jeans and I selected the plain brown shoes he wears all the time to complete the look.”
