Where Do You Stand? Our Oversharing Generation

DearSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 07:30:00 -0700

With Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace taking over the Internet, it's hard to escape from this oversharing generation we've created. With a push of a button, we can now track our friends through their cell phones, Twitter our life stories, update our relationship status, and tell the world whatever is on our minds. And while I think these easy methods of staying connected with friends and family are a great benefit of our time, I also think a little mystery can be beneficial to all relationships.

I know there's a lot to be said here, so tell me where you stand on our current obsession with oversharing.

VH1's The Pickup Artist: The Most Douchetastic Show on Television?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:00:00 -0800

I really need to start watching cable again. VH1's The Pickup Artist starring Mystery (you may remember him from yesterday's If You Had To . . . challenge) looks spectacularly hilarious. The premise is simple: take some dorks and have a man who dresses like a "goth aviator" tell 'em the secrets to picking up chicks. (It involves a lotta cheesy pickup lines, wearing fuzzy hats, and sporting guyliner.) "Someday," he tells the cool-challenged fellows, "you're going to get so good at this, you will teach it to your sons." Ha! Something tells me Mr. Brian already has some tricks up his sleeve . . .

If You Had To...

It's If You Had To... Douches Wild edition! On your left, Mystery, the pickup artist who turns nice guys into douches on VH1's The Pickup Artist. On your right, good ol' Criss Angel. They have so much in common! They both wear lame hats, and they both perform tricks! So, you have to share bottle service at Tao in Vegas with one of these dudes. Who would you go out with (and make out with), if you had to...

Beware of Mystery Fabrics!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 10:00:00 -0800

With their strange-sounding names and even stranger-looking qualities, mystery fabrics can have unintended consequences. But now - thanks to our friends at Cotton Incorporated, who are generously sponsoring this post - we can break our dependency on these misguided fashions!

A new feature on Cotton Incorporated's Mystery Fabric website, Mystery Fab Rehab offers a three-step process to help visitors get smart, get rid of mystery fabrics, and get their fashions right. Armed with their new fabric knowledge, viewers can identify what is ailing them by using the Mystery Fabric Affliction Finder.

The site offers a selection of fun videos, featuring the clueless Susie and enlightened Jane as they explore the perils of mystery fabrics. Check out “Trouble With Traffic" below, where Susie’s illuminating dress creates cab hailing havoc.

Thanks again to Cotton Incorporated for sponsoring this post!

Edward vs. Jacob: Which Guy Is More Your Type?

TresSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:46:39 -0800

You don't need to be a fan of Twilight to understand the difference between the two leading men (can we call vampires and werewolves men?). On the one hand, there's Edward - think of him as the sophisticated older man type. In fact, he's 108. If you go for introverted, devoted, and beautiful men, Edward's your type of guy. Then we have Jacob, the good-natured hunk. Jacob's the extrovert with a sense of humor who knows how to have fun. Which type of guy would you rather date: the mysterious guy or the outgoing guy?

Fabio Fever: Catch It!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:00:00 -0800

The Mystery Science 3000 guys remind us that we are all Fabio! Everyone wants to be Fabio! Men respect him! Women want him! Not a single soul doesn't love Fabio! Even that lesbian folksinger Janice Ian loves Fabio! Big buttery slabs of Fabio! Why am I using so many exclamation points? Because it's Fabio!

Thanks for the send, fishay!

MST3K Takes On Daredevil

GiggleSugar — Fri, 25 May 2007 09:00:00 -0700

I love Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I wish people who sat near me in theatres droning on and on about what we're watching (hey, guys, we're not in your living room!) could be as witty. Here they are making fun of a ridiculous scene in the Affleck/Garner flick Daredevil.

Do Tell: What's the Sexiest Foreign Accent?

TresSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:00:00 -0800

Maybe we can blame the foreign exchange students in high school or the soap operas we watched that featured mysterious foreigners whose arrival shook up small towns like the fictional Port Charles. Whatever the cause, a lot of chicks love a foreign accent.

Well, the results of a worldwide poll asking 5,000 women who has the sexiest accent have yielded an answer: the Irish. For decades, French men held the title. (Tant pis, mes amis!) The Irish and their sexy (if indecipherable) lilts were followed by the accents of Italian, Scottish, French and Australian men, in that order. (Americans were in tenth place.)

If you like a man with a foreign accent, what do you think is the sexiest?

Introducing: Ask Two Guys About Guys

TresSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:01:14 -0700

A few months ago, I stumbled upon the awesome book Don't Be That Guy, an illustrated book that delineated the myriad types of guys no guy should be.

There are the guys who verbally encourage themselves while working out at the gym, or guys who wear sunglasses at nonprofessional poker tournaments, or guys with Amish beards who aren't Amish (my personal fave). The list goes on.

In addition to being funny, Don't Be That Guy gave me a peek into the male psyche. It was refreshing to have a couple dudes honestly (and hilariously) list what bugs them about other guys. (I can't always be the one complaining about men!)

Well, lucky for us, writer Colin Nissan and illustrator Sean Farrell agreed to answer some nagging lady-questions for a few weeks (and maybe beyond?). So stay tuned for tomorrow's installment of Ask Two Guys About Guys, where the two guys explain the ancient mystery of why some men insist on masturbating even though they have regular sex partners. This should be fun!
