Do Tell: Would You Sing to Your Pets?

Umm, try telling North that "petting is passé!" I know it's sweet to treat a pet to a massage and I definitely liked Maryjean's tips on different tempos and the need to speak to a pet but, that's not where the video magic (mystery?) really comes in. When she started singing, I wondered what my dog would do if I crooned him a tune. I'm certainly no songstress so, if he could cover his ears, he probably would - do you create songs for pets swapping in their name for the normal lyrics?

Do Tell: What's the Sexiest Foreign Accent?

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?

Do Tell: Who Was Your Favorite Teen Heartthrob?

A heartthrob is defined as a man, typically a celebrity, whose good looks excite immature romantic feelings in women. Immature or not, almost every woman I know once crushed on a fresh-faced famous person with heavily-marketed sex appeal. In fact, some grown women currently lust for ~~Edward Cullen~~ Robert Pattinson. Who got your heart throbbing when you were a teen? (And if you're nostalgic, note that you can still check out Tiger Beat and Bop.)

What Change Would You Still Like to See in the US?

Whether you make it to the polls or not, today is election day and marks one year since Americans elected Barack Obama as president. If you're curious how Obama managed to win, you can watch the documentary By the People: The Election of Barack Obama airing tonight on HBO. The film includes behind-the-scenes campaign footage and interviews with staff, volunteers, supporters, and opponents.

During the campaign, we heard a lot from Obama about "change." Among his accomplishments so far? There's the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the protection of wilderness through setting aside federal land, legislation that allows the federal government to regulate tobacco, and a new defense bill that cuts pricey weapons programs. Still, supporters are waiting for some big-ticket change items, like the closing of Guantanamo, the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and real healthcare reform.

What change would you like to see?

Do Tell: When Do You Feel Most Like Yourself?

TresSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

If this sounds like an Oprah question - that's because that's where I found it!

We all have situations that make us feel uncomfortable and self-conscious and times when we are being ourselves 100 percent. I feel most like myself when I can express myself and least like myself when I'm trying to impress someone. But to be specific, I feel most like myself when I'm in bed on Sunday morning in my glasses, comfy pajamas, drinking coffee and reading the paper.

When do you feel most like yourself? Least?

Do Tell: Can Your Pets Perch in Small Spots?

Acro~~bats~~cats entertain with regular balancing acts and I often wonder not only how they perch so precisely, but how they land all right up there in the first place . . .

Do Tell: What Was Your Mother's Relationship to Food?

Did you "thin-herit" food issues from your mother?

According to a poll conducted by teen magazine Sugar, girls ages 12 - 18 said that their mother's eating and/or dieting habits and views on food were the biggest influence on their own relationship to food. It was found that if a mom diets, she's twice as likely to have a daughter with an eating disorder.

What was your mother's relationship to food? Do you think it has affected you positively or negatively?

Do Tell: Who's Your Favorite Pop Culture Witch?

The witches of popular culture come in all different varieties. There are the truly scary witches, like the queen in Snow White and the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, the harmless witches, like Samantha from Bewitched and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the mischievous witches, like Endora from Bewitched. To get in the spooky spirit just in time for Halloween, tell me which famous witch has you under a spell!

Do Tell: Do You Greet Pets on the Street?

How easily can you resist a lil scratch and sniff with a stranger's pup? Yes, it's risky to approach a tethered dog (since you don't know if he's friendly) but sometimes those furry faces are darn hard to resist . . .
