International House of Beefcakes: Who's the Best?

TresSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:00:00 -0700

Global research site OnePoll.com asked 15,000 women from 20 countries to rate the men they've slept with based on their country of origin, and the results are in: Germans were ranked the world's worst lovers because of their rankness, Brits came in second because they're "lazy," and the Swedes were deemed "too quick to finish," finishing third in this list no man wants to be on.

I like a little natural body odor on my bedmates (it beats a dude who reeks of cheap cologne), so I'm not sure this list works for everyone. But lazy and too quick? These can't be positive attributes of any lover.

I love that, although there were reasons listed for why certain men sucked in bed, the men who were considered good in bed needed no explanation at all. To modify the first line of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina: "All ~~happy families~~ good lovers are alike; each ~~unhappy family~~ bad lover is ~~unhappy~~ bad in ~~its~~ his own way." To see the five best and worst international lovers list as well as to see how American men fared, read more.

Worst Lovers

1. Germany (because too many smell bad)
2. England (because they're lazy)
3. Sweden (because of premature ejaculation issues)
4. Holland (because they're over-dominant)
5. US (because they're too rough)

World's Best Lovers

1. Spain
2. Brazil
3. Italy
4. France
5. Ireland

Could a Message From Across the World Swing Your Vote?

LibertySugar — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0700

The rest of the world may not be able to cast their vote in the upcoming presidential election, but they still have messages for US voters about how the choice will affect their families and home countries. Indie American satellite network Link TV created a mini video site called Dear American Voter that lets people from all over the globe create and send video messages to those of us who can fill a ballot.

The ploys range from sarcastic to serious and span the political spectrum. In one of the site's promo videos (see below) a handful of non-US citizens say they wish they had a voice in the election - one woman from Australia even suggests she should be able to vote for the US president. Clearly it's critical to keep the conversation open, but do you think a message from across the world could swing your vote?

Somebody Watching You? Peeping Toms Lurking Everywhere!

LibertySugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 11:00:57 -0700

Citizens all over the world are not safe from Peeping Toms. Venice police just caught a man who had photographed the backsides of over 3,000 women, as they strolled around San Marco square. The man tailed the women wearing short skirts, carrying a bag with a camera, and filming their tails through a small hole in the bag.

Apparently, the Peeping Tom wasn't who you would imagine - authorities say he is a working professional with two young children and a wife. The man faces six months to four years in prison. The Venice case might be the tip of a Peeping-Tom trend. To see who else has been sneaking around, read more.

In Canada, a 46-year-old man has evaded authorities for 14 years, enjoying his extensive library of women he videotaped through their home windows. He collected the footage in order to pursue his fantasies. Officers have only watched about 20 hours of the 90 hours of footage. Hm. Can you imagine being the officers who have to watch that creep show?

And an even more outrageous story comes right out of Charlotte, NC. Police chased a naked (gasp!) peeping Tom, and registered sex offender. When he resisted arrest, the policed stunned the man, who was wearing only tennis shoes, four times. I hope they were careful!

Do you have your own Peeping Tom story? Do these instances of voyeurism make you especially nervous now that videos can make it onto the Internet so easily? What type of sentence should be given to these serious privacy offenders?

Simply Fab: Temperley for Amnesty Candle

FabSugarUK — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:00:58 -0800

Scented candles are a luxury item which men never seem to understand, but when they have a charitable message it certainly justifies the cost. Temperley London are raising money for a good cause this month as they launch a candle for Amnesty International to mark Human Rights Day on 10th December.

The gorgeous smelling pink candle (£35) will be available at Selfridges, Temperley London and Amnesty International.

Alice told Vogue, "The symbol of the candle highlights perfectly the hope that Amnesty gives to so many people around the world by improving human rights. I am very pleased to be helping to spread this message and hope many people will support the cause."

Which Night of Stars Attendee Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

A bevy of gorgeous gals came out to celebrate Fashion Group International's 26 Annual Night of Stars. From 54-year-old Iman to 22-year-old Evan Rachel Wood, all of the ladies looked ravishing in their red carpet duds. Unsurprisingly, Dita von Teese was the most dramatic with her astral Stephen Jones headpiece, but the rest stunned with their gowns. I know which one's my favorite; which one's yours?

Jet-Setting Josh Hartnett Promotes at the Pusan Film Festival

PopSugarUK — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:07:22 -0700

Josh Hartnett made an appearance at the opening night of the Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea, which is Asia's biggest film festival. He appeared alongside his costar in I Come With The Rain Lee Byung-Hun, which is included in the festival programme. After a little while laying low it was recently announced that Josh has scored the lead role in new movie Gunslinger, and when my girl Buzz polled her readers the majority were still interested in Josh's career. Are you?

Sneak Peek! Target Go International Private Label 5 Collection

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:00:08 -0800

I was just professing my love for Target and now Go International's Private Label 5 collection has arrived. The Target gods must be listening. All of the retailer's past lines have excited me, but this one I'm willing to push and shove for. While with past collections I've coveted only a few items, I nearly want all of the pieces in this latest one. Starting February, you'll find me at my local Target buying the black draped jumpsuit, the punchy floral mini skirt, the sassy one-shoulder floral dress, a corset-style top, a sleeveless ruffle cardigan, and perhaps more. Check out the collection in its entirety and tell me which pieces you have dibs on.
