What women really do at home: Hilarious pictures of woman mocking male magazine tradition of glamorous models lounging around home posing in sexy underwear

The blog Me In My Place depicts scantily-clad women lolling around their immaculate houses, reclining on soft rugs and lounging in plush leather chairs, as their hair tumbles artfully around their shoulders.

Actress and cosplay enthusiast Chloe Dykstra felt the images weren't a particularly accurate depiction of what women do in leisure time at home, so she decided to create her own series of photos, entitled, 'Me ACTUALLY In My Place,' shot by Greg De Stefano.

Dykstra says, 'I always see these girls doing photoshoots for 'Me In My Place', a website dedicated to depicting girls 'naturally' lounging half-naked and f***-me-eyed in their perfectly organized, tidy habitat. This shoot... Well, this is the s**t I actually do in my place.'

Like the women featured in Me In My Place which has a celebrity version in Esquire featuring models such as Jessica Hart and actresses such as Lake Bell, Dykstra is wearing skimpy underwear in her photo series.

The difference is what she's doing 'in her place.'

From popping a pimple to picking up dog poop, Dykstra slobs around the house in a much more accurate depiction of the female comfort zone.
'I specifically did myself up to look like the girls in MIMP. Otherwise the subject matter wouldn't stand alone as a joke. You'd just be like "WHY DO I WANT TO SEE A GIRL IN SWEATPANTS AND NO MAKE UP PICKING UP DOG S**T,”' she said.
Founder of the Me In My Place blog Michael Edwards told MailOnline that he would love to shoot Chloe Dykstra for the blog and has extended the offer to Dykstra. She has not yet responded.
The Me In My Place app is now available for download.

Wash day: Dykstra wanted to put a different spin on the blog Me In My Place, so shot the series in her home with the idea of showing what she really does when she's at home

Cleaner: On a day off, women are more likely to be watching TV or cleaning the house than they are vamping on the lounge room floor
