It takes a respectable woman to avoid being punched on the street by a stranger, and I must be damned because a homeless man nearly broke my nose on 2nd Avenue today. Thankfully, it was not personal. Apparently, this man had smashed a BMW not too long before, and hit a number of other people before me too. I was just in the way. At least that's what the cops said.
Nevertheless, as a Leo with an already-injured nose and vivid dreams of rhinoplasty, I couldn't help but wonder why me?????? I came to the conclusion that I am not intimidating enough.
It all begins with how you dress, though. Your outfit of the day informs your attitude of the day, the way you walk, the way you carry yourself that day. Whether or not you can instill the fear of God in others depends wholly on the coat you don and the shoes you wear. Think about it: would an Arc'teryx save you from a sucker punch? Of course not. You'd be totally fucked. But a duffel coat like this one SCREAMS, "Do NOT touch me or I'll drown you in lawsuits!" With this coat, you'll be pretty and protected.
