I met Leandra Medine, aka the Man Repeller, at a NYFW soirée hosted by Barneys New York. Young and talented, her voice is familiar, no doubt. One that carried its tune into the big leagues with a book, Man Repeller: Seeking Love. Finding Overalls. Well, kids, I’ve finally cracked opened the tome and recommend taking time to do so, too. Ms. Medine is hilarious and honest, evolving from chubby cheek child to a stylish, gold lamé jumpsuit wearing branded force of nature.
