Interesting idea. One initial question -- why wouldn't the girls just say yes to all items to get max commission?

The way it works is that you get commission when someone buys an item from a list you have reviewed. Even if you disliked the item. When lists are submitted they are shared with a limited number of people so that the commission isn't split too many ways.

I thought it will be a cool blog with cool clothes chosen by girls...but see nothing! I have AdBlock, I suppose the Facebook login is hidden, but where are the outfits?

Thanks for your feedback. We have aggregated all the clothes from multiple online stores. You sign up and can pick out what you like as a list and then submit it to the girls for them to review. They will review your choices based on what you are looking for and your profile which is populated from your facebook. I wasn't aware that AdBlock hides facebook login. I'll definitely look in to this.

Oh, so that's completely the opposite of what I've thought. Nice idea, too bad that I personally hate browsing clothes, would be more keen to choose from outfits pre-approved by girls my age.

is the facebook integration strictly necessary? Does it work without?

Currently we're using the facebook integration as it's easier to populate the profiles of the users. It also ensures that the photos aren't inappropriate and its more likely that people are honest about being male or female.
