The gallery of shame is such a good idea. It's also an incentive for me to get a camera phone. Then I could have pictures of the men who say things to me like "Wanna feel my produce?" Shudder.

I wonder if there will be spinoff sites around the country...Holla Back Chi-town? Holla Back LA?

Looks like a great site. The first thing I thought of when I read the "smell you" post was the cringeworthy scene in The Silence of the Lambs where Clarice walks past the cell of one Multiple Miggs, who makes a smiliar - if more obscene - comment.

Why wait until you get to the nearest computer? Yelling something back is fun and a lot less frusterating.

creepiest i've heard: "i wanna be your bike." he was like ten years younger than me, though, so i was flattered.

it has always seemed dangerous to glare or mistreat people who harrass me, like it would be making a mildly threatening situation very threatening. once when i was too dismissive of some drunken fratties, i went from being very compelling to a "bitch" in like 1.2 seconds. it's never pleasant to be called a bitch by three strange men on a street you suddenly notice is dark and empty.

hollaback isn't a cure-all -- we still have to be careful all the goddamn time, but it looks fun. i'll keep my phone at the ready.

I guess it depends on the situation. I certainly wouldn't do it alone at night.

Always considered itself above the people capable on such "peeping and peeping"...
