A site (domain name is flexible) where people can come donate their underused stylish clothes to nerds who desperately need them, and in exchange may receive some online favors.

Imagine you have an abundance of stylish clothes - so you don't NEED this brown jacket sitting in the corner of your closet for 4 months unworn. But a nerd who's trying to change his image will wear that jacket everyday, maximizing the jackets value and making him immediately more stylish. The nerd is grateful and in return, offers to design your Myspace for you.

Value is maximized for both parties. Stylish party (A) feels good about themselves for helping someone else + benefits...Nerd party (B) receives clothing for which they will maximize value for.

I got this idea from having a "nerd" roommate who wanted to change his image. His jeans were very out-of-style and I had an abundance so I gave him a pair of mine and he now wears them everyday.

I don't think a nerd would "need" or want fashions.

You may have the germ of a few TV episodes or a series here.

i love the comments on this sight, id rather come here laugh than another website, dont get me wrong thou, it is all pretty much good stuff, and no matter what you think, its gotta sell at least a million, and if not for the money its bound to make at least one person happy...

I'm trying to visualize myself as stylish while wearing someone else's poorly-fitting brown jacket, rumpled from sitting in a corner.I'm not sure a brown jacket can be stylish (unless it's leather).

And how could it be cool to wear the same jacket everday?

Greatful, not grateful. Unless you're a deadhead.

I think I agree with classicsat.

I'm so wrong on 'greatful' --I always thought that the misspelling was a Grateful Dead joke.
