Paula's Superbowl Performance Gets Judged

GiggleSugar — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0800

If you haven't heard, Paula Abdul was part of the Superbowl festivities this past Sunday. The ex-princess of pop gave a pre-game comeback show and debuted her new single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." The whole shebang was typical Paula - nothing new - but the real question is: what did Simon Scowl think? Could girlfriend be the next American Idol?

Personal belongings from the superstar's Neverland Ranch are featured, along with costumes, props, and other memorabilia from his epic career. Would you ever check it out, or does it freak you out?

Do You Think Pointy Bras Will Make a Comeback?

TresSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 13:00:00 -0700

When I look at this vintage ad, I think three things. First, apparently Lady Gaga did not invent the hair bow. Second, who plays pool topless? And third, how long until pointy bras make a comeback? Madonna made them famous on stage in the '80s, but will ordinary women ever want to look this perky again?

Sugar Daddies Are Making a Comeback!

DearSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:00:00 -0800

Sugar Daddies were a thing of the '80s, but according to Fox News, they may be making a comeback! If you're unfamiliar with the term, a Sugar Daddy is an older, usually married guy, who has a younger mistress on the side. He's wealthy and he generally buys her extravagant gifts, takes her on luxurious trips, and gives her money to shop with. In return, she offers him sex with no strings attached. I know what you're thinking: it sounds like prostitution, but according to Fox News’ sexpert, Yvonne Fulbright, "pop culture has started to make this mainstream . . . and glamorize women who are in these situations."

Now that the economy has taken a nosedive, there is a resurgence of the Sugar Daddy, as some women are seeing this as a good option to get things they need or want. But it isn't just women taking from wealthy men. There are also Sugar Mommies - rich women getting sex by offering handsome young men material things. There are even online dating services, like sugardaddie.com, that help young individuals find a mature person to pamper them. I'm in no way supporting this kind of relationship and am really surprised that this is still going on. I know this is a little over the top, but tell me, do you know anyone in a relationship like this?

Comment du Jour: Her Comeback to "Why Don't You Smile?" Is Priceless!

TresSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:08:00 -0700

Once. . . I was having a genuinely crap day and a random guy on the street said "why don't you smile for me sweetie" so I replied "why don't you dance for me monkey-boy." To be honest, the look on his face totally cheered me up ha ha!

Are the Dixie-crats Making a Comeback?

LibertySugar — Sun, 18 May 2008 11:00:48 -0700

Three recent upsets in special elections for US House of Representative seats in the deep South, have Democrats rethinking their political fortunes in the region. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson famously said: "There goes the South for a generation" as he signed the Civil Rights Act. But recent and unlikely victories mean it might be time for the Democrats to draw a new map.

Alabama Pollster John Anzalone told the AP:

The Republican brand has taken a hit. When you have economic anxieties, the wedge issues that Republicans use just aren't that important. People aren't fat and happy now. They're worried.

This sounds like a more-nuanced incarnation of Barack Obama's bitter-gate comments.

Another factor helping the Democrats is the fact that candidates are not shy about embracing "values issues" co-opted by the Republicans. Southern voters find pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-gay marriage candidates, running on a Democratic ticket. What makes these candidates different from the Republicans? They do not accept Republican foreign or economic policy, nor do they carry George W. Bush's baggage.

Are the Spring's special election upsets a signal that the Democrats are going to widen their congressional majority this fall. If the incoming Democrats have a lot of red in their platform, what kind of majority will this be? Are Democrats giving up their core values, or finally understanding their constituency, and thus what it takes to win?

Mostly on the domestic front. In vacuum cleaners, living room cabinets...I guess he's lonely.
