A V-Day Special: Return of the hit parade

Way back in October I took note of one writer for Phillyist who happened to always mention in her weekly rants how some guy was hitting on her. Here’s what I wrote at the time:

Quickly becoming my favorite game on the Internet: reading Jill Ivey’s Phillyist rants against vague or inanimate entities, and try to guess how long it takes her to make a reference to a guy hitting on her. The record is, like, 2 paragraphs.

And it went on like that for, uhm, two weeks or so. But like many things on this site, I eventually grew tired of it. And I forgot about it. (Also, she stopped writing about how she was hit on.) But PW intern James Houston has eagle eyes, apparently, and noticed this in a Daily Pennsylvanian column:

College senior Jill Ivey uses the escort service often, but she has had experiences with security guards who took friendly conversation a step too far.

Ivey told him, “I’m going to meet up with some girlfriends.”

“Girlfriends or girlfriends?” the guard asked.

When she responded, “A bunch of female friends,” the guard replied, “So, you’re straight?”

If you’re playing at home, it took five paragraphs in a column by someone else for Ms. Ivey to mention being hit on. If only my life was full of such admiration from the opposite sex.
