Beauty Product or Period Item?

bellasugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:00:28 -0700

Do you ever get that . . . not-so-fresh feeling? Yeah, neither do I, but that doesn't stop me from immaturely snickering at the flowery, euphemistic names of tampons, pads, and other that-time-of-the-month products. See if you can guess which ones belong to "feminine-hygiene" items, and which you'd find at your local beauty boutique.

DearSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

After getting out of a relationship you've had a dry spell, and you're ready to get back in the game. You've been flirting with a friend of a friend for the past few weeks, and you've been dying for the opportunity to get more intimate with him. On a particularly rough night — you think you might be coming down with something and your ex just called out of the blue — your crush asks to come over to cheer you up. Would it be worse if . . .This: In the middle of your steamy make-out session, just as he's running his hands through your hair, you accidentally call him by your ex's name? It wasn't a loud mistake, but the look in his eyes as he pulls away is enough for you to know he heard you. Or . . .That: As you're having sex (for the first time) you feel your stomach gurgle and before you can do anything about it, you release a particularly loud fart? You'd like to disappear, but instead you're lying there naked and vulnerable. Source

This or That: Calling Him the Wrong Name or Tooting Midromp?

This — You call out another guy's name in the heat of the moment.

That — You get too intimate during sex.

If you haven't yet read The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake, please do so. It taught me so much about the early lives and careers of two of the greatest fashion designers of our time: Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. I even discovered their most private habits and how their inner circle worked. Though sadly we had to say goodbye to Yves this year, Karl is still chugging away. How well do you know these two rivals and legends? Take my quiz and find out.

Bella Quiz: Skincare Line or Spacecraft Name?

bellasugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 09:00:00 -0700

If space is the final frontier, the search for perfect skin gives it a run for its money. The Space Race, in which the Soviet Union and United States competed to make strides in space exploration, lasted roughly from 1957 to 1975. It was during the 1960s that the marketing of skincare products changed from being sold exclusively by chemists and department stores to mass market availability (grocery and convenient stores). It follows that skincare lines have as silly, faux-futuristic sounding names as spacecrafts. See if you can tell the difference between the two types of names with this quiz.

Just when you thought there weren’t any great guys out there for you, you've gone and fallen in love. And after a few months, it’s still going great. But now that things are getting serious, your boyfriend sits you down and tells you there’s something he’s been lying about. Would it be worse if . . .This: He’s actually married? He and his wife are separated, but they have yet to actually go through the process of divorcing. Or . . .That: He never actually got that masters degree he always refers to, or even an undergraduate degree for that matter? He didn’t want you to think he was dumb, so he just decided to lie instead. Source

This or That: Long Distance or Baby on the Way?

DearSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:00:00 -0700

You’ve met the guy of your dreams. He’s funny, smart, kind, and totally into you. After meeting through a mutual friend, you enjoy the most romantic date ever the very next night. Towards the end of the evening, when he says he really wants to pursue things with you but has something he has to tell you first, you’re immediately worried. Would it be worse if . . .This: It turns out he’s only in town for a few weeks visiting family? He actually lives 2000 miles away with no plans of moving in the next year or two. Or . . . That: He’s single, but his ex is pregnant with his child? He wants to make a great dad, but that means putting his relationship second. Source

This or That: Long Distance or Baby on the Way?

This — Any relationship you start would require lots of frequent flyer miles.

That — He’s available to you, but there’s some serious distractions headed your way.

bellasugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 08:00:22 -0700

There was a time when both hairstyles and dances had names — real names, names that got capitalized. And while we may have "Lean Back" and the "faux hawk" now, it's not the same as wearing your Croydon Facelift to go dance the Hully Gully (ok, different decades, but you get the point). So find out if your hair expertise spans multiple decades by taking our latest this or that quiz.
