There are plenty of reasons to go green — it's trendy, it's good for the planet, it makes you feel better — but is it possible being eco-friendly makes you hotter? Vanessa explores the idea of going "eco-sexy" with some green portables, including a hand-crank charger, a handheld wind turbine and, the emerald aphrodisiac, a backpack with a solar panel.
The fun part: By chance, Vanessa meets a guy with the same pack in the wilds of Manhattan. What follows has got to be one of the most notorious missed opportunities in the history of pickups. Let this be a lesson to you, guys: If a cute girl comes up to talk to you about your gadgets, try not to act like an uninterested dork like the guy in this vid, 'mkay? (Yes, we know he's hitched, but still....)

I lived in NYC for years and it's extremely amusing how many people who lived there were "organic" and "Green" people doing yoga and all that nonsense, yet live in the least organic city on the east coast filled with mega capitalists. It's bourgeois hypocrisy at its most disgusting.
It is, in fact, about getting "a date" if not literally, then metaphorically.

They guy she met with the same bag said he was married. And yet you expect him to flirt with the chick. You guys are &*@#$.

Okay, someone has to say this. I think anyone walking around with the "Hymini" probably is still a virgin.
Let it sink in, you'll get it.

OMG!!!! No puffy shirts!!! But Vanessa would look gorgeous in a plastic bag!!! She does look really good in green though, and V if I ever saw you and you had a funky bag I would flirt with you. : )
