Is It a Time Travel Flick or Nail Polish Shade?

BellaSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:00:51 -0800

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. I think it was Back to the Future that started my fixation with this film genre, with perhaps a bit of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure thrown into the mix.

Just as these types of movies have some pretty whimsical names, so do nail polish shades, like Nicole by OPI's chuckle-worthy Black to the Future ($7). So let's go back in time to see if you can distinguish between the two: is it a time travel flick or nail polish shade?

Bella Quiz: Now Just What's the Meaning of This?

BellaSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:04:04 -0800

Back during "the talk" in school, I distinctively recall our teacher reminding us why we all needed to know the technical terms for our most intimate of parts. That way, we wouldn't have to resort to using vulgarity or slang in attempt to describe any and all ailments to the doctor. When it comes to beauty, knowing the technical term can help you score big points in Trivial Pursuit, but you probably won't shrink from embarrassment if you don't use the proper lingo for the different classifications of acne at the derm's office. Let's see what you know when it comes to these beauty-related words.

Film Noir or Fancy Shampoo?

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:03:58 -0800

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. Along with these artistic flicks come some pretty creative names. Now it's time for you to do a little sleuthing of your own. Is it a film noir or a fancy shampoo?

Botox: What Can You Actually Use It For?

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:00:05 -0800

It seems like every time I turn around, the FDA is approving another use for Botox, and some doctor in Hollywood is finding yet another off-brand thing to do with it, scary as that is. The number of uses for the stuff has gotten so mind-boggling that I still have a hard time wrapping my head around a lot of them. Can you guess which of these Botox uses is real, and which one is as fake as a pair of implants? Take my quiz and find out!

The One-Hit Return of . . . Street Drug Slang or Eye Shadow Shade?

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:01:23 -0800

Apparently, the people who name eye shadows and the ones who make up street drug slang have more in common than a love of powdered substances - their choice of words is eerily similar as well. While drug abuse isn't funny at all, some of the names the government has collected that are supposedly used to describe them are, and eye shadows are sounding downright wild, if not pornographic, lately. Can you tell which of these is a harmless cosmetic and which a hard street drug? Or is it all a little purple haze-y?

What Do You Know About Redheads?

BellaSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:00:02 -0700

As Lucy could tell you, red is the rarest, and perhaps most coveted, hair color (so much so that Ms. Ball dyed her naturally blond hair her now iconic shade of carrot). And for thousands of years, people have been coming up with stories about it. In the Middle Ages, for example, people with a certain shade of red hair were considered unmistakably vampires or werewolves, and early Renaissance alchemists believed the blood of a red-haired man was necessary to turn copper into gold (aren't we sorta glad we live in a post-alchemy world?). For every crazy superstition, ginger stereotype, or story about a fiery temper, though, there's an actual, interesting fact about red hair. Take my quiz and find out just how much you actually know about our flame-haired brethren.
