A Do or a Don't: Jam-Packed Weekends

DearSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0700

During the week it’s normal to start planning for a fun-filled weekend. And when the weekend finally arrives, it feels great to be busy and social, but by Sunday night, you can easily feel depleted. For those of us who need recuperation, sometimes mellow weekends are a far better choice, even if it means staying in on Friday night. So are you all about the mellow weekend? Or do you like your weekends to be as busy as possible?

Dear Quiz: Who Is More Distracted During Sex?

DearSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Sometimes we have so much on our minds that we can't stop thinking about our to-do lists, but there's a time and a place for daydreaming, and in the middle of sex isn't one of those times! Now I understand that men and women alike get distracted, but who do you think is more likely to have a wandering mind while getting busy - men or women?

Levi Wears Leather and Skin in Playgirl Shoot

TresSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:00:54 -0800

As we all know, Levi Johnston took time out of his busy schedule as a nut salesman to shoot some nudie photos for Playgirl. So here are some of the shots, which I cropped a bit for decency's sake. Even though there is no full frontal, we do see a lot of skin . . . and armpit hair.

Back when I asked you all whether you would do, dump, or marry Levi, the majority of you said you would dump him. Do these photos change your mind? If you want to see more of Levi, check out Playgirl.com (NSFW!). And to see my picks from the pics, read more.

Hillary Talks Sexism, Obama's Job Offer, and Mad Men to Vogue

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:00:35 -0800

Hillary Clinton finally sat down for a long-overdue Vogue interview. She offended editor Anna Wintour during the primaries by turning down the fashion mag out fear of looking "too feminine." And though she won't be on the December cover, the article is as substantial and satisfying as a cover story.

From night swimming alone to her favorite shows (Mad Men!), we see a side of Madame Secretary that all the vetting in the world would not unearth. See some of what she had to say below.

On visiting countries as a high-ranking female: "You can go to some countries and there's not a woman in the room. They don't even make the effort to give me the token woman minister. . . . And in lots of African countries the honorific for women is 'Mama.' So I had lots of people say to me, 'Mama, what about this; Mama, what about that?'"

On President Obama's job offer: "I was stunned after the election when President Obama asked me to consider this. . . . I really was very unconvinced. I did not think it was the right thing to do. I didn't want to do it. I just really had a lot of doubts, and I kept suggesting other people: Well, how about this person! How about that person! This one would be really good! But then a friend of mine called me and basically said, 'How would you have felt if you'd been elected and you'd called him and asked him to do this?' And that really made a big impression on me. How do you say no? And so . . . I said yes. And here I am."

On Mad Men: "That's how it was! That's why the women's-liberation movement was so shocking. It was like news from outer space"

See what else she had to say after the jump.

Business Card Battle Royale

GiggleSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:08:11 -0700

Some of us at Sugar just got new business cards, and as we were debating the merits of matte finish vs. semiglossy, TeamSugar reminded me about the (highly entertaining) business-card scene in (the otherwise quite disturbing) American Psycho. Will bone beat out eggshell and pale nimbus in the subtle off-white smackdown? The tension is palpable!

Flight Of Conchords Guy Means Business

GiggleSugar — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 11:20:00 -0700

HBO's Flight of the Conchords is about two musicians from New Zealand trying to make it big in the Big Apple. Brett McKenzie and Jemaine Clement have been performing together for years, billing themselves as " "New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo." In this clip, Jemaine (my new crush) is trying to get his lady into bed with lame but hilarious lines. "And you know when I'm down to my socks what time it is," he says, "It's business time." (Thanks, Queen of Noise!)

Do You Get Excited to See Your Family on Thanksgiving?

TresSugar — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:00:29 -0800

Many people consider spending time with family the best thing about Thanksgiving. In our busy lives, we don't find much time to cook, eat, drink, and catch up with loved ones.

Of course, not everyone has dream families - some relatives can be rude, non-accepting, or just generally overwhelming. Since Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, I want to know if you're looking forward to some quality family time.

Hilarious or Horrifying? Trojan Can Prevent Rude Moviegoers

TresSugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:00:39 -0800

When lovers not planning on making a baby start to get busy, the last thing they want to think about is what type of person their potential child would be three decades down the road. But in this commercial, Trojan wants to remind you that you should wrap it up, lest you end up with a child who turns out to be the most obnoxious grown man ever to enter a movie theater!

Avoiding children, annoying or not, is a major reason for using protection, but this commercial sends a somewhat confusing message about contraception. If this guy weren't annoying, would it have been a good thing that his parents didn't use a condom? Do you think this is an effective message, or does it miss the mark?

Sign Language: That's What Friends Are For!

The Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas' new ads promise that Toronto businesses know how to treat their neighbors. These ads also show that the agency for the TABIA knows how to construct a good ad.

"What Is His Deal?"

Tres Community — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:00:00 -0800

This post comes from Group Therapy in our TrèsSugar Community. Feel free to add your advice in the comments!

My friend (let’s call her Laura) recently introduced me to a good male friend of hers (let’s call him Mark) at a Halloween party. Mark and I had a good time talking to each other and he emailed my friend a day later to tell her that he thought I was really nice. He then found me on Facebook and asked me out for the following weekend, to which I said yes.

We texted a few times and flirted a little bit. However, when the weekend came he got sick (I was sick too so I didn’t mind that we weren’t going to meet, although I didn’t tell him that). But now it’s been a week and I haven’t heard anything from him, no texts, no nothing. I think this is a little strange since he was the one who initially pursued me. Plus he’s friends with my friend so I didn’t think he would just ditch our plans. There is such a thing as politeness and I’m a little surprised that he hasn’t called me to let me know that he’s still sick, or busy, or whatever. So, I don’t know what to do if and when he calls. Should I go out with him? He’s already demonstrated that he can’t keep me in the loop.

There's lots of fun stuff going on in our community - join it, check it out, share your posts or advice in the great groups and maybe we'll feature it here on TrèsSugar!
