Girls, Men & the Wicked Pyjama Party (#wpp)

1 05 2009

Nobody had thought of having a Wicked Pyjama Party on Twitter ever.

When we girls thought about holding one, it somehow felt just right. After four hours of shared virtual pillow talks between the boys and girls of Twitterstan, it felt GREAT!

The Yaymen jury went against all odds- skeptic minds, disgusted looks, terrible internet connections, power cuts, prejudices, wariness, intense criticism, the list goes on and on…

From 11pm on April25 to 2am on April26, the Wicked Pyjama Party held sway over Twitterstan and for a short while more, over the international Twitterverse. A handful of free-thinking girls, even more curious boys and a medium that allowed for maximum chutzpah in minimum space trended the world over within this short while!

If that does not testify for the power women hold, I don’t know what else does.

A lot many people questioned us about the point of WPP and all of us answered them differently. Some beautiful feminine minds on Twitter told us that WPP was akin to an emancipating experience for them and you know what? We couldn’t agree more.

A lot many men told us that they were feeling ever so good to reminisce about their pasts, the sweet things they did for their women, the ugly things their women did to them, and about loving in general.

Regardless of all the fun we women had, try as we might the permanent Damocles sword hanging over us could not be budged.

Not on that night and not for the days that followed.

There were men who did frown over our brazenness. There were women who tweeted their innermost desires and dreams that night only to have to delete them a few days later.

Why?

“Because if my man read this, it would be real bad.”

“Because if any of my relatives ever came across this, I would be looked down upon.”

“Because it is unnatural for women to talk like this.”

“Don’t you think you girls went a bit overboard that night?”

“What if your future boyfriend/lover came across this and saw you for what you are?”

Sad as it may seem, we still hear words like these repeated in the WPP aftermath.

Is this to be our lot forever? Are we to hide forever? Are we to be judged forever? Are we still doing something wrong?

These questions will puzzle and plague us for a long time, and will probably cost us a few nights’ sleep.

So, the Yaymen jury would like to know the answer to one question above any other:

Will you help us change this?

Women on Twitter Yodel Out Their #yaymen

30 04 2009

The #yaymen jury hit on the ultimate list of some simply fascinating #yaymen.

ShaaqPurrReeMich, G thank the wonderful women who saw this through and added their own wicked bits to the fun so far. Your support has been reallly helpful and fun!

So, without further ado…

The Top 5 contenders for the title of #YaYMEN are (alphabetically):

@Aalaap

@Crucifire

@Fartingpen

@Krist0ph3r

@Shadez

Over the next one week, we shall pit these amazing men against one another. Scores of women shall objectify them. They shall be spoken with, fought over, admired and questioned and *ahem* by a lot of women, just to find out if they possess the #yaymen element that we are all in search of…

So buckle up you guys and let down your defenses, so that we women can chose from among you the nicest, dreamiest, fascinating-est, hawt-est and coolest #yaymen to ever roam the bylanes of Twitter and perhaps this planet!

We women are coming for some up close and personal talk with you soon ;)

Moving on, if you guys and girls recall, we had some delicious categories that were hotly contested for as well.

After a not-so-smooth deliberation process (so many great men out there!!), we found that these #yaymen fit the bill for each category perfectly:

SO girls! You’ll simply *must*:

We are really sorry that the other wonderful men we know didn’t get through this list… We would have LOVED to see more of the men we love to speak and share stuff with on a daily basis on Twitter out here. However, the votes had to be given priority.

But fret not our dear machos & awesome-os… we are looking for ways to remedy that. Here’s to more power, hope, love & respect to all you wonderful #yaymen out there… Cheers!

The next step in the greatest search in all of womankind begins today and involves:

A short bio with a hawt pic of each of these #yaymen contenders & hopefuls (format laid out below).

These bios & pics shall be put up on the official #yaymen blog.

Women shall come, see, read, objectify and admire right here.

After the women do all of the above and the men realize how much we need their nod for the ultimate #yaymen, they need to mail us their votes.

In the interim as Shaaq says, the #yaymen contenders & hopefuls need to get some khatarnaaaaaaaaaaak campaigning underway.

And my dear friends, please let’s not get petty over who got through and who did not. We were sad that some really amazing #yaymen we knew and wanted to be in, could not get enough votes. In the end, we had to give the votes a priority. 





The Day The Jammies Rocked Twitter #wpp

28 04 2009

Girl talk was never this fun! As you already know, we’ve been nominating men for their yumminess factor. So @unitechy@LimeIce@spitphyre and @punkpolkadots suggested that we do a virtual slumber party on twitter to talk about men!

What we started as a fun thing to support Yaymen, soon spiraled into a wicked wicked conversation that raged on twitter for a couple of hours. If you thought Indian girls are chuimui types, think again. This was us, just plain wicked, talking about boys, first kisses, love and a lot many things.  And I was thrilled with all the boys’ response. They cheered us, answered our wicked questions and totally made the party rocking. Once again, girls, the men come to the rescue!

Right from first kisses, to missing the exes to craziest places they’ve got it on! We discussed it all and as I read the feed again, I smile to myself. Yaymen or WPP is not just about having fun. It is about expressing who we are. We represent the girls who are not ashamed to speak their minds about men, sex and life in general.

I hope everyone else is enjoying our venture as much as we are. And again special thanks to you all again for making both Yaymen and Wicked Pyjama Party a huge huge success. And when I say that, I say it for Reena, Michelle, Gursimran and Apurva! The rawking ladies of twitterverse…
