Tyra Is the Hostess With the Grossest

GiggleSugar — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:00:00 -0800

One can only wonder why we're discussing Janet Jackson's hygienic habits (or lack thereof) on The Tyra Show, but here we are- and Janet seems thrilled. To up the ante on the awkward factor, Tyra introduces everyone to the term "wh*re bath" and gives Janet's armpit a quick sniff. Hey Tyra, that whiff of crass air is coming from you, not Janet!

Japanese TV: Not Reaching New Heights

GiggleSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:00:00 -0700

The premise of the following game: contestants are to dress up as the insect/amphibian of their choice, jump over a high beam in a horizontally challenged fashion, and upon failing, withstand the stench of some crazy woman's foul-smelling breath. Makes perfect (non)sense to me!

I Smell An Attention Seeker!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 08:00:00 -0700

Instead of handing out Vaseline, Tyra Banks should start arming her studio audience with clothespins to block out the nasty odor of stinky guests. Why you would go on national television and scare people like this, I just don't understand. Get deodorant, perfume, Febreeze, or those little trees that hang from vehicle rear-view mirrors, lady! Or just get a little pride and get off The Tyra Banks Show, already. Sheesh!

The How-To Lounge: Preventing Smelly Shoes

DearSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:00:00 -0700

If you wear your shoes without socks, chances are your shoes smell from time to time -- especially in the summer time. In order to keep your shoes wearable, here are some tips to keep them as odor free as possible!

Click here to read more

Wetness is a sure fire way to make your shoes smell, so make sure to dry out running shoes, pumps, sandals or boots before storing them in your closet. Set them next to the heater or outside in the sun before mold begins to grow
If you can, wear socks or peds
I heard once that putting your shoes in the freezer (in a freezer safe plastic bag) will help diminish the odor causing bacteria, so give it a try and report back with your findings!!
Using baby powder, or any other drying agent, will help keep your feet sweat free in shoes when socks are not an option
Baking soda is known for removing odor and this holds true for smelly shoes as well. Dump a generous amount in your shoes and let them sit overnight. Discard the powder and your shoes should be odor free
If your feet sweat often, be sure to rotate your shoes often and wear open toed sandals when you can to give your feet a chance to breathe
As obvious as this may sound, don't forget to wash your feet in the shower. Oftentimes people think that just because their feet are being "rinsed", they are clean-- a very false assumption

If you have any other tips you want to share with our smelly feet friends, please comment below!

Ask Two Guys About Guys: Why Are Men So Carefree About Farting?

TresSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Colin Nissan and Sean Farrell of Don't Be That Guy fame have graciously agreed to answer some burning questions we women folk have about men. Last week's Q & A was a hit, so let's see what they have for us today!

Today's question to Two Guys: Why are some men so carefree about farting?

To hear what the Two Guys have to say, read more.

Why are dogs so carefree about barking? Why are birds so cavalier about chirping? Why do lions feel they’ve earned the right to roar? I’m not afraid to make a fourth animal analogy if it helps to illustrate the point that these species are meant to do these things - just as guys are meant to fart. It’s our body’s way of communicating with you. It’s saying, “Hey, I feel really comfortable around you, Leslie,” or “Wow, those enchiladas are passing through me like a fu**ing freight train.”

There are plenty of repressed guys out there who actually aren’t big farters, but running into the arms of a gas-free companion might not be the utopia you think it is. If a guy is sealing up his rear hole, then chances are he’s sealing up his other holes too. Like his fun hole and his emotional hole. It’s your choice, you can be with a guy with sealed holes, or you can learn to appreciate a natural, open-hearted gesture for what it is – and instead of rolling your eyes the next time your guy breaks wind, try looking over at him and whispering, “I feel close to you too. Make love to me, you smelly son-of-a-bitch.”

Smelly Memorial: SF Voters to Decide on Bush Sewage Plant

LibertySugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:45:58 -0700

The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco has some big plans to honor outgoing President Bush - they want to rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Plant, the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

The civically savvy satirists have collected more than enough signatures required to put the renaming initiative on November's ballot.

The chair of the SF Republican Party (yes, it does exist) calls the measure "loony bin direct democracy" and called its supporters "typical San Francisco crazies." The plant itself notes that it is an award-winning facility that keeps the environment clean, thus making it an unworthy vehicle for a statement on Bush's negative impact, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Do you find naming a sewage plant after George W. Bush funny or offensive? If the measure passes, will the renaming be a historical political statement, or just a stinkin' empty gesture distracting us from serious grievances?

Smelly Co-Worker

DearSugar — Tue, 09 May 2006 04:25:36 -0700

Dear Sugar
I am not sure how to handle a co-worker of mine who constantly passes gas. I work 12 hour shifts with her and she's always dropping bombs. The rest of my co-workers can't take the stench anymore, but they won't say anything to her about it. I think it's so nasty that I would like to think of a nice, calm way of talking to her or else one day I am afraid I will blow up at her about it. We work as nurses and deal with bad smells all of the time, but her farts stink so badly that I can't take it any longer. She blows whenever she feels like it. Do you have any ideas on how to approach this? Fed Up Felicia

Dear Fed Up Felicia
I don't think you should have to deal with these kinds of poor manners. Where was she raised, a barn? I would take her aside privately and tell her that you don't want to make a big scene about this; but that you and the other nurses have been talking and you are disgusted by her lack of manners regarding her flatulence. Tell her that since she's so open about it that you felt you could confront her candidly and could she please excuse herself and go to the bathroom or hold it in? Tell her that you don't want to embarrass her but that you just can't work with this going on all of the time.

A Handbag Made of Pet Fur: Cute or Creepy?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:15:00 -0800

Meet Danelle, a professional cat groomer who particularly likes shaving Persians - and then surprising their owners with handbags made of their shorn fur. (Pause to take that in.) How did the first person she did this for respond to the bag? "She had no words to express how she felt about it. She was in tears over it." I don't have too many more words about this either, so I'll turn it over to you. Is a handbag made of your pet's fur (even a pet named "Smelly Cat") cute or creepy?
