Miracle Shirt Turns Losers Into Babe Magnets!

LOS ANGELES — Geeks are becoming popular party animals, thanks to an incredible new shirt that makes them seem as sexy as Hollywood movie stars!

It’s called the Party Shirt, and it turns social misfits into irresistible hunks. Early tests show the chemically treated shirt drives women wild whenever they come near any man who’s wearing it.

“I used to get tossed out of line any time I tried to get into a hot nightclub,” says Ralph Jarmel, a 22-year-old convenience-store clerk from L.A. “Girls would laugh at my skinny body and my eyeglasses.

“Then I found this incredible shirt, and it’s like Saturday Night Fever every night.”

The Party Shirt is the creation of designer Amanda Lowson, who’s been testing it in fun-loving towns like Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Lowson combined her fashion sense with a degree in chemistry to produce a social lifesaver.

Lowson says the silk-rayon fabric is treated with male sex pheromones, which are chemicals naturally produced by the human body. Pheromones have been scientifically proven to reel in the opposite sex by causing an almost magnetic attraction through the sense of smell.

“We tested the fabric with a group of homely men and a group of attractive women,” Lowson says. “The women barely glanced at the men when the test subjects were wearing ordinary clothing. But when we had them put on the Party Shirt — well, the women latched on to them so fast you’d think the guys had just won the lottery.”

Lowson, who’s still working on a women’s version of the shirt, says she also used color-theory research. “Many studies have shown that people respond positively to vibrant colors and patterns,” she explains. “Our focus groups had extremely positive reactions to the classic Hawaiian shirt, which caused them to view the wearer as fun and hip.”

“No one ever saw me that way before,” says a soft-spoken 27-year-old accountant from Miami. “Then I wore the Party Shirt to a cocktail party, and the next thing I knew I was dancing with two really hot women.”

Scientists are skeptical about the Party Shirt.

“Pheromones are not some kind of magic potion that wipes out all reason in a woman,” says a spokesman for the Human Pheromone Project in Denver. “Once she sniffs you, you’d better be able to keep her interest.”

Lowson agrees completely.

“The pheromones may just be a confidence booster that helps shy men get over their self-consciousness,” she says.

“Perhaps this shirt just gives them the courage to show the truly magnetic personality they had inside them all the time.”

Nope. Pheremones have no "odor" - no detectable "scent" - however the nose detects the presence of the chemicals, all the same. The vomeronasal pits in the nose are a sensing organ that picks up specific kinds of chemical trails...

That's right - just look at all this value! You can't get these products in any store - and within minutes of receiving them in the mail, you'll understand why!

Can I save COD charges if I use my Visa or Mastercard?

Maybe your Institute should take a look at this.

Ahh, after all the years we traveled the world developing the formulae when we worked together at The Institute.

And the research we did on the *drop* (pretty powerful stuff huh?)

… and all they come up with is a lousy t shirt?

*LOL*

If they only knew the formulae, but it's pretty much a well guarded secret...

While we are on the subject, interesting tag line:

Do you remember exactly where you were when I handed it to you?

I'm sure you do...
