It's true. To most, he may be a fashion god but there is a side of him that hasn't really been covered all that much(or not enough) and that is his opinions and recounts of his childhood and outlook on life. Click here for ->

NY Mag covers a really entertaining interview he did with Times Online in which he speaks of footwear, his childhood, life in general, death, and people who smell bad.

A few quotes:

“I have no problem with journalists — many are friends,” he says. “Only if they are really stupid, or if they’ve got bad breath, or if they smell. Yesterday [at the Chanel couture show] I had a problem. I said, ‘I’m sorry, you’ve got to tell this woman that she needs to be taken away. Her smell is not possible.’”

“‘You may be six years old, but I am not,’ she used to say.” She refused to let him wear glasses although he was short-sighted, saying: “Children with glasses are the ugliest thing in the world.” She also took little interest in his schooling, never attending a parent-teacher evening. Nor did she ever attend one of his fashion shows later in life, despite his success. “She said, ‘Well, I didn’t go to your father’s office either,’” he laughs.

"I’m in a permanent bad mood with myself, thinking I could always do better, that there is more. It’s like there is this glass wall, and I can’t get through to the other side.” But he adds, raising an exclamatory finger: “I’m not one of those people who think they’re more artistic than their profession. Come on. You’re selling things that make people happy, not difficult pregnancies. I can’t stand designers who talk about their work being art.”

Or maybe you've had the unfortunate opportunity to be seated next to someone who had it in a confined space and there was no means of immediate escape. The latter happened to me just last night at choir rehearsal.

We're seated in the Judah Room doing our warm up exercises:

"He has done. Marvelous. He has done. Marvelous. Thiiiinnnggss. Praise tha Laaaaawd....Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord".

When it hit me. Ugh, what is that, I think to myself.  I inhale a deep breath to sing the next refrain.

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

My nose is twitching like Samantha from "Bewitched" now while my mind is racing,  "WHO is that? OH. MY. GAWD!!!"

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

In blows another wind of putrid hot gawbage breath. Uuuggghh!! It's coming from the young lady sitting to my right. Oh DAYUM!! Did she just lick a lump of shit before walking in here?

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

I retrieve my 9 West handbag from under the chair.

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

Oh Lawd...please let me have some mints or cough drops in this side pocket.

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

Oh goody!! I think gleefully as I retrieve the peppermints from the inside zipper pocket.

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

With all three mints in the palm of my hand, I gesture to the young lady on my left, offering her one of the red and white striped Godsends. She declines with a nod of her head.

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

Turning to my right I offer the same to Halitosis Hannah. "Oh girl thanks. I'll save this for later", she says as she takes one and proceeds to place it in her handbag.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sweet Jesus, Mary, & Joseph!!! YOU. NEED. THIS. NOW!! Ret now!! Please for the love of God and all that is Holy...take the mint and put it your mouth!!! Is what I'm thinking.

With my eyes red, itchy, watery, and burning...we continue to sing:

"Marvelous. Marvelous. Marvelous Thiiinnnggggs. Praise tha Lord."

Lord, you know what would be marvelous? Miraculous even? If this heffa to my right would either eat the mint now or shut the hell up? You know what else would be miraculous? If by the end of this rehearsal I'm not blind, irises nor corneas not burned and melting from my eye sockets!!

"He has done. Marvelous. He has done. Marvelous. Thiiiinnnggss. Praise tha Laaaaawd!!!"

She still didn't eat the mint at that moment but at least I am not bind today.

Oh, yes.....

He has done. Marvelous. He has done. Marvelous. Thiiiinnnggss. Praise tha Laaaaawd!!!!

Hiccups=fucking annouying is it just me or do you get hiccups once in awhile but when you get them they pretty much last the WHOLE FUCKING DAY!? Like that's what happens to me, I hardly ever get them but when I do, I get rid of them and they come back to haunt me like EVERY HOUR. I heard something of yours is having a spazam(sp?) and it causees that I don't know what though..anyways moving along...

NEXT TOPIC: BAD BREATH, you know that taste you get in the morning when you wake up and you're thinking, "Man I need to go brush my teeth!", That was pretty much the taste I had in my mouth all day today....too much information? Well that's just TOO FUCKING BAD. But then there's other times when you're in an extremely crowded elevator and this fat guy is standing a little too much into your personal bubble and he certainly looks like he's eaten about 20 pounds of shit, THEN you smell his breath and all you can think of is fuck God what did I do to deserve this!? Yeah? Well this has happened to me before and I was ready to kill myself so I could haunt this fatass and tell him to brush his teeth, buy gum/mints, and bathe.

So that was my little rant over....well hiccups and bad breath, oh yeah, I got the new Jonas Brothers cd and it is AMAZINNNGGG, I don't care what hippie chick says, I LOVE THEM AND THEIR AMAZING AND TALENTED AND HANDSOME AND SHE CAN KISS MY ASIAN ASS.

There’s a website called NiceCritic that lets you send “helpful messages” anonymously.

For instance, if your boss has a serious case of body odor, but you don’t know how to pass a subtle hint, you can use this website and tell him anonymously.

The site has different categories like Personal Hygiene, Office Behavior , Neighborly Suggestion or Sports Etiquette. In each category, there are several statements to choose from. You just pick the one that fits and it'll be sent to your recipient. He (or she) will never know what hit him (or her).

Popular embarrassements

The great thing is that you can also see how often people have sent this particular “hint”. For instance, the most popular one in the General Behavior category is "Please refrain from slapping people's buttocks." By Wednesday, some 2500 people had sent that statement.

I never knew buttslapping was such a problem out there in the real world.

Or could it be that people were just sending this message to have a little fun?

On the Personal Hygiene page, I like "Please consider trimming some ear hair." And - come to think of it - I even know someone to whom I should possibly send this message. Maybe he reads this and I won't have to go through the website...

Or how about "You have a noticeable post-bathroom stain" . Could you imagine someone sending you an anonymous e-mail with that message?

One of my favorite statements is in the Appearance category: “It seems like your thong is showing.” An amazing 2513 users have already sent that message to someone anonymously.

Or how about “Your yawning seems to be particularly loud today”, which got almost 1400 hits on the Office Behavior page.

It’s not all negative

The nice thing is that there’s also a category for Anonymous Praise. And here, my favorite statement is “The exercise and weight loss are really paying off”.

Unfortunately, it’s not the most popular statement in that category. I guess that proves that there aren’t that many people out there who are exercising and losing weight.

If only it worked like it should

The thing that really bugs me, however, is that the site doesn’t seem to work. I wanted to test it today and sent myself a message That haircut looks great on you.

I felt I needed that.

Unfortunately, the e-mail never arrived.

 Somewhere out there. A truth lay hidden, her feathers ruffling in the wind. She of all, was also lost, entrapped in a world unknown to any. Across the endless blue, upon a coast so far away, was love.

 We both were lost, adrift at sea. Never would we find each other. We were merely one boat, one witness to death. One boat sailing an ever moving sea.

Until that fateful morning, that fruitful day, when I of many set search upon the world. To find what was missing, what was forever taken from our hearts. I of many set search for the truth, the ugly and pitiful truth. Out at sea, above the blue abyss, was like a hell without heat, with merely the coldness of our own demonic sins.

Frantically we searched. Forever we failed. Slowly the setting sun fell to the ground. It's brightness ever waning and love forever forgotten. Like all, we shivered with grief, the wind blew harder. It's careless breath masked our love, and the truth that we so dearly wished to embrace.

Hope was thought to be gone, like all treasures. Like all gifts, it was lost at sea...

Bob Jones of New York couldn't believe it. Dr. Ellison at the Atlanta East Clinic broke the bad news. He had arterial cures for bad breath.

Terry had a good apology. After all, as a salesman in Plymouth Oil, he certainly had his share of stress. And, let's not even talk about the pipe.

According to Dr. Morris just being male was a mock against him. The fact that he was 51 certainly didn't help.

Unfortunately, high blood pressure rarely yields any symptoms until it has caused arteriosclerosis and possibly a stroke. In fact, high blood pressure can be incredibly severe before there are any symptoms.

Even if you just see a love scene on TV you will see a rise in your arterial blood pressure.

It wouldn't be important what your blood pressure read if you took your blood pressure after that exercise.

Caffeine drinks like coffee or will bring bad breath.

Alcohol does not relax you despite what you think. Bad breath will result.

Using up too much time in your favorite recliner instead of getting some exercise increases your chances of making heart problems.

If you pressure is up slightly three different times, you should see a doctor. If it is over about 180 just once, you should also seek medical advice.

But, back to Troy.

Fortunately, these days, there is a lot you can do to decrease high blood pressure.

If you can stop using tobacco and limit or cut out your alcohol altogether that will help a great deal.

If you don't completely normalize your bad breath by those means, many different medications are available today that will help.

For those that are unable to come to our bad breath center we do offer comprehensive home treatment programs that treat the causes of bad breath and have a proven track record. We intentionally do not produce or manufacture any of the products, or medications we use in our treatments.

We only use what are considered to be the best medications and products in our treatments based on sound independent clinical studies and also our clinical experience with them.

This allows us to maintain our objectivity when it comes to recommending what is best for our patients, and this eliminates any conflict of interest or issues of ethics. It also has allowed us to have the flexibility to make changes as new and better products or medications are developed

• Caraway
• Mustard
• Wintergreen
• Wormwood

*Taking a bath at 92 to 100 degrees F for twenty minutes to an hour can be beneficial to people suffering from insomnia, toxic buildup, hyperactivity, and stress. No hot, hot baths for you pregnant women though!

*People who are blessed with oily skin (didn't think that was a blessing, did you?), dark hair, and dark complexions generally age better than those with freckles, fair skin, and light colored hair.

*The average person gets three colds a winter. That blows- your nose!

*The combined weight of the planets ant population is greater than the combined weight of the planets human population. Crazy!

What Do You Know?

Lately, I was thinking of some good videos.  I had just bought a bunch of Tic-Tac® Mints, and I thought, hey people like Tic-Tac® Mints, and I have nothing better to do.  So here we are.

I went around to everywhere around me where three capsules of Tic-Tac®'s could fit, there we go.  

So, next step, tape a bunch of clips of Tic-Tac®'s. 

I did that and I didn't get very many, some are better than others, but this is what I got...

I tried to cut up everything past the word "Tic-Tac®" and then the next clip was start.

I got the nice ending titles also.

Well, I hope that you enjoy the video, I did the best that I could.

Figuring out for certain if you have bad breath is challenging to do by yourself. Like it or not, you really must ask somebody if your breath is a problem. Don't try to base your decision on breathing into your hands and sniffing. Even if you don't smell a problem yourself, does that really give you the confidence you're looking for?

The drugstore is overflowing with over-the-counter bad breath solutions. Why make the effort to discover natural remedies for halitosis? The plain truth is that standard medicinal solutions only provide a transient or superficial fix. Bad breath may come back quickly after treatment, or it may simply overpower whatever you've attempted. To cure bad breath, you need to go to the origin of the problem.

The root cause of halitosis is the overgrowth of bacteria. Our bodies contain all kinds of bacteria. Most of the time they actually do things our bodies need. However, sometimes bacteria can overstep their bounds and start to cause trouble. When bacteria in your mouth grow too rapidly, they can produce foul-smelling odors. The recognizable bad breath odor is caused by sulfur compounds.

When there are unconsumed pieces of food in your mouth, bacteria jump on this food source. A by-product of their growth is the output of bad-smelling sulfur compounds. So one of the best natural remedies for halitosis is good dental hygiene. Keeping your mouth clean--even just rinsing it after you eat--will make a tremendous difference. Bacteria also grow faster when your mouth is dry. Drinking a lot of water is one of the simplest ways to combat bad breath. This is especially important if you are fasting or under a lot of stress.

Want to know another natural remedy for halitosis? Parsley. This herb has two beneficial ingredients--chlorophyll and essential oils. Chewing some cardamom after a meal can have a similar beneficial effect on your bad breath. Not only are these natural remedies for halitosis effective, they're tasty too.

Chronic bad breath won't kill you. Nevertheless, it can endanger your relationships and your self-image. Don't give up in the war against bad breath. Try the suggestions above. You can discover more natural remedies for halitosis at the Bad Breath Solution Center.

I am adjusting fine.

When the alarm goes off, I say "good morning" to his chest. He says "good morning" to my forehead. And then we go brush our teeth.

I find his socks everywhere. They are on the front porch. They are shoved under the bathroom cabinet. They are breeding on the top shelf of the closet. They are behind the refrigerator. A few pairs are in his sock drawer. I used to ask him, "How did this sock end up here?" Now I don't ask. If it isn't in my way where it is, I leave it. Someday he'll wonder where all his socks went and he'll gather them up from all corners of the house. If it bothers me where it is, I pick it up and soak it in vinegar. Vinegar gets rid of bad smells. I love Steven, but his feet are vinegar-worthy.

I know how I feel all the time. I have feelings all the time. Steven, on the other hand, can receive information and not have feelings about it. It is astounding to me. It makes me want to dissect his brain. He takes the information and mulls over it when it is convenient. Then, two days later, Presto! He has a well-baked opinion.

Boys don't care if the house is clean when their friends come over. I don't care if the house is clean when his friends come over. But when my friends come over, the socks had better magically migrate to the dirty laundry basket. The house had better sparkle and smell like roses. Here is the concise version of the discussion we had on this topic:

"If they come over, and the house is a wreck, that's all I'm thinking about!"

"That does not make sense," Steven says. "Just don't think about it."

"It makes sense to me," I say. "This is my house!"

"OK fine. It doesn't make sense. But I'll pick up my socks."

"Thank you." That is all I wanted. Because, in the end, I'll never really understand him. He'll never really understand me. Because we are from two very different planets. I don't understand, but I appreciate. His socks smell because he wears them all day to work. And he is a hard worker. I can appreciate that. And I am in a tizzy over the house, but he says he loves coming home to a wife and a house that smells good. He doesn't get it, but he appreciates it. He even lights candles when he comes home now. I appreciate the ambience. He appreciates the chance to play with fire. We both get what we want. Marriage.

We've all encountered people with bad breath, just as we've all encountered people that smell awful. We have friends that have horrible breath. Chances are you've wondered if the person knows they have a problem and if they try to do anything about it. What happens to them when the listerine only lasts for 10 minutes? What type of life is that to live? Let's look at some of the consequences of perpetual bad breath:

• Unusually low frequency of spooning sessions. Nobody wants to cuddle up with someone that has awful breath. Well, some people will deal with it if the person is hot enough. But as for the rest of us, who wants a dragon breathing fire down his or her neck (depending on who is big spoon and who is little spoon)?

• Lower number of opposite sex phone numbers in phone or increased dormant numbers. If you meet someone out and you get caught with bad breath, you might as well have never met them. If they spare you the first time and you still have it the 2nd time around, it's a wrap.

• Low job interview to offer ratio. Let's admit it. People discriminate. Bad breath isn't even a protected class.

• Unpleasant Nicknames. Most of my readers went to college, or at least high school. We all had a dragon on campus, or someone who immediately came to mind in the community when someone mentioned bad breath. Nobody wants to be known as Bowser Koopa (If you don't get the reference, we can't be friends.)

• Shorter than average face to face conversations. This one doesn't really need an explanation.

These are just a few of the effects of perpetual bad breath. I'm sure some of you can think of others. You know what's the worst though? A dentist with a bad breath problem.. Be careful if you need work done on your teeth, because anything more than a cleaning could have you looking like Harvey TwoFace. The End.

Symptoms of teeth problems may include: tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks, an ache at the base of the tooth, yellow, chalky tartar around the base of the tooth, gums bleed when flossing, brushing or biting into something, and a bad taste in the mouth that you just cannot get rid of.

Some common cures of this problem can be: reducing the amount of sugar you consume everyday, chew nuts, apples and raw vegetables to help clean the teeth and strengthen them, taking vitamins that aid in healthier teeth (and breath).

Teeth need calcium that is found in milk and milk products, green vegetables, mineral water, nuts, canned salmon, sardines and other bony dish. Calcium absorption into the bloodstream is helped by consuming Vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in fish oil, mackeral, salmon and sardines are great sources for this oil. Dark skinned people form Vitamin D less readily and children especially may need a vitamin D supplement.

Herbal Remedies
A mouthwash made of rose petals, blueberry leaves, violet petals, and sage mixed with water helps to ease inflammation and protect teeth while sweetening the breath. Chew some fresh parsley to aid in fresher breath as well.

Aromatherapy Remedies
Cloves are powerful in their antiseptic power. They fight bad breath and help ease sores in the mouth and on the gums. Dab some clove oil on the problem areas.

Prevention

• Cut down on sugary foods
• Brush and floss your teeth regularly, especially after meals
• Use toothpaste and mouthwash containing fluoride
• Chew on crisp vegetables that are raw
• Check for bad breath by licking your inner wrist, sniff after 30 seconds

I don't hate cuz I promised not to use that word--ever-- but I really reallllly dislike Elizabeth from The View. That is all.

P.S. My boss has a breath problem..wondered if she caught me swaying back everytime she uttered a syl-la-ble.

"You gotta brush your tongue, that is where the funk in your breath comes from. You gotta hack all that s*** up. Just brushing your teeth is not gonna get it."

Bruno on oral hygiene

This means my breath will never let another human being want to kiss me.

And, well, the dogs adore my skank breath.

Yet I feel free.

Mabel is bitching. But she recycles her own stuff so she can't be a ding dong.

There is so much one can do when they have the breath of a demonic goat.

And that is to buy Altoids.

It's enough.

Well having done a little reading on the subject I have found some very convincing answers, as Dr. Harold Kaltz research has revealed, Bad breath is caused by Anaerobic Sulfur Producing Bacteria which normally live within the surface of the tongue. These bacteria are present because they assist humans in digestion by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood, and in diseased or "broken-down" oral tissue they are good bacteria under normal conditions. However, under certain conditions, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate. Two of the Amino Acids (Cysteine and Methionine) that make up proteins are dense with sulfur. When these "beneficial" bacteria come into contact with these compounds, the odorous and "lousy-tasting" sulfur compounds are released from the back of the tongue and throat, as Hydrogen Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan as stated by Dr. Kaltz and which results in a bad taste in the mouth.

Dr. Kaltz go on to state that "these problem compounds are often referred to as volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), where volatile means Vaporous and Effervescent, two adjectives which accurately describe their ability to offend other people instantly."

There you have it in a nutshell, so it is not that we are poor in our oral hygiene, but rather we have to learn to treat the underlying cause of the problem and since we can not smell our own breath (nature's little trick) we will have to learn to manage this problem.

Next time we meet i'll share some insight on how to do this.
