The(new and improved)Hood | The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans LLC

0

Gather ’round Sisters and Brothers, because I have a very exciting story to tell. You see, it all started about a year ago when a couple of girls with uncomfortably tight jeans decided they wanted to shrink, and encourage other people to shrink, too. Then they recruited a guy, which kinda screwed up the whole Sisterhood name, but he was willing to roll with it. Well, guess what? It’s been a huge success. Their jeans are shrinking to sizes they’ve never seen before and they’ve made so many new friends. And all those friends? They’re shrinking, too. I know, right?!! It’s a dream come true.

Because those girls (and boy) loved what they were doing so much, they decided to find a way to make it easier and more fun for everyone to connect. Sure, there were comments on posts, and twitter was always around for getting their 140 characters out, but they longed for more. They needed more. They sought MORE. (Okay, one of those girls thought she found the more a couple months back, but it turned out to be not more, but a huge flop.)

Well, MORE has arrived. Right here, right now. It’s still called the Hood, but OMIGOD, it’s so much more. Seriously. You’re going to fall all over yourselves once you see how awesome it is (just don’t pull anything, k?).

Before you get all clicky and head over to the-new-improved-absolutely-MORE-Hood, sit back and relax while we woo you with all of it’s wonderful features. Close your eyes and visualize with us. Okay, wait, you can’t read if your eyes are closed, so just crack them a little so you can see the words. Okay, go to your happy place now…..
