Is Shailene Woodley’s ‘offensive smell’ upsetting her stylist & designers?

also, i just noticed the bulge in redford's pants.

I have a 'friend' who only does oils and whatnot and she smells mostly of herbs during the cool seasons, which is fine, whatever.

In the midst of a hot Georgia summer, though...

Disgusting. Also extremely self centered. Like the rest of the people forced to come in contact with you do not count.

I ran out of antiperspirant/deodorant a couple of months ago, and the only store on the way home was a Trader Joe's. In despearation, I bought their aluminum-free, unscented antiperspirant (although it still said "cotton" on the label). Anyway, it was the most ineffective deodorant I've bought in about the last 30 years. I forgot it was possible for me to smell that bad. So, if someone at work smells, they're either a nouveau hippie or Trader Joe's customer (just kidding).

So, if it was an unscented antiperspirant, technically, it was not a deodorant, right? It would help you not sweat, but not help any odor?

That's a good question. Because perspiration or sweat is usually the catalyst for body odor in the first place, I expected its antiperspirant qualities keep me from smelling all day.

One thing that I've tried in despearation when I'm out of antiperspirant that has really worked is rubbing alcohol. Once again, it works by killing odor-causing bacteria.

Mohandas. There is no excuse for EVER running out of deodorant. Never,ever.

You can't see when some of those solid-stick antiperspirants are about to run out. It will literally pop right out of the holder with a quarter twist, and that's when you know you're done.

And THAT is why you always keep a back up ready to go. Always.

I'm not big into deodorant, but I very seldom perspire. In the summer I use it everyday, during spring, fall and winter, bot so much. I also have practically not leg or underarm hair. I shower daily and always watch my pits. I have asked my girls if I ever smell, because they would be honest, they have said "no". Lucky me.

[Moongirl]

^^My mom has no leg hair, underarm hair, and very little arm hair. She says she's always been like that, I kinda wish I had inherited that trait from her. Now that you mention it, I don't recall her ever smelling either.

I myself don't sweat much even in the heat of summer, but I do feel I smell a bit, though if I ask my husband, he says no.

[levitt]

God, I'm a sweaty mess pretty much all year round if I, you know, move. At the gym today I looked at myself in the mirror before I walked home and I looked like I was melting. I'm surprised my eyes didn't just slide off my face.

[A*O]

I'm a lucky lo-sweat person too but I still use precautionary deodorant every day. A crusty yurt dweller I know who eschews soap and water (they cause global warming apparently) uses that shitty patchouli oil. The Smell Of The 70s. It makes me gag.

[ConstanceSpry]

^^Ewww, patchouli smells gross even on clean people. On a sweaty person, it's probably enough to clear a room.

[Kittylady]

Ick! Patchouli always smells like wet dogs to me and gives me flashbacks to my student days when there was a guy who must have doused himself in the stuff every day. Between that and Lynx bodyspray (especially that cursed Africa one) I'm surprised I still have a sense of smell.

i saw it ages ago and had vague memories of that house but i googled and you're totally right. the exterior is actually pretty similar too.

Hey Sput - you have a pretty hairy arm there.
