This or That
Is It a Time Travel Flick or Nail Polish Shade?
Potential nerd alert: recently, I have become rather captivated with time travel movies. What's not to love? The main characters make some kind of fantastical journey through time, typically to make things right.
Film Noir or Fancy Shampoo?
Do you know your film noir, doll? This cinematic genre often starred alluring actresses such as Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, and Ava Gardner. Common features of these types of films include a highly stylized appearance of both the characters and scenery, a crime, and some sort of dramatic, sexual undertone in the backdrop — think The Maltese Falcon and Out of the Past, or in more modern films, Basic Instinct or No Country For Old Men.
The Throbbing Return of . . . Romance Novel or Lipstick Shade?
Awwww, she has her very own real live pirate. They're just so . .
Street Drug Slang or Drugstore Perfume?
Don't ask me why, but the people who give hardcore street drugs their nicknames and the marketers responsible for naming the fragrances you find on the shelves at Rite Aid seem to have a very similar tastes. In fact, it's nearly impossible to tell one from the other. Actual street drugs are no laughing matter, but to be honest, I wonder how many of these names are really used, and how many of them are the products of anxious prevention literature and a healthy dose of Urban Dictionary.
Even More "Beauty Product or Adult Movie?" Fun
You know the drill, and it is sexy. (Or not.) I'll rattle off a list of names, and you guess whether they belong to a beauty product or to a triple-x film. Are you up for the challenge?
Romance Novel or Lipstick?
I love romance novel titles. They have some of the zaniest, least self-conscious names you can imagine, and the covers are just classic. Then again, there are some pretty wacky lipstick names out there, too.
Even More Beauty Product or Adult Movie?
Oh boy, it's quiz overload with Beauty Product or Adult Movie. Thanks to the popularity of these quizzes, everyone at Sugar HQ probably thinks I'm really into skin flicks. My sterling, virginal reputation is tarnished.
Fancy French Fragrance, or Classic French Film?
The luxury of a beautifully concocted French fragrance and the magic of a magnificent French film are both pleasures not to be missed, but are you enough of a sophisticate to be able to tell the difference? Take my quiz and find out if you know your Houbigants from your Gainsbourgs.

The Return of . . . Beauty Product or Pulp Fiction?
Hello, fellow predatory females. Since the first installment of this quiz was so much fun, why not go for more? You know the drill: guess whether the following names belong to a beauty product, or whether they're the titles of tawdry paperbacks of yesteryear.
Spaghetti Western or Eye Makeup Shade?
They were the low-budget films about cowboys, often produced in Italy and other European countries throughout the '60s and '70s; and they were the genre of movies known as spaghetti Westerns. Can you spot a spaghetti-Western flick from some smoky shades of eye makeup? Sure, it might be a little goofy, but that's the whole point.
