Pitt's pits are legendary for their stench, according to a friend who worked with him. "He's not gay," the friend said, "and he has the worst body odor I've ever enountered."

 

Ethan Hawke is also supposed to be really stinky. He sat next to me on the subway once. I was so busy groping him out I didn't notice if he smelled.

 

And on the other side of the street, the late Geraldine Page supposedly had little use for bathing. And Cliff Gorman, appearing onstage in "Lenny," complained to the stage manager that Valerie Perrine had pussy odor.

 

These "artistes" no doubt consider a good scrub, deodorant and maybe even a dash of cologne entirely bourgoise.

Many years ago I had a gym workout partner who was a cabin attendant for Western Airlines. He worked the flights between Salt Lake City and L.A. The one thing he hated about the assignment was that Robert Redford frequently flew, first class, on these flights. According to my friend Redford never used deodorant and consequently always reeked to high heaven. The ordor itself was bad enough but trying to deal with the other first class passengers was next to impossible. My friend finally transfered to another route rather than continue to deal with the situation.

NO wonder Babs couldn't stand him when they made "The Way They Were." She had to get in bed with him shirtless.

 

But seriously: why do some otherwise intelligent people go around ripe? Some sort of reverse snobbery? Are they oblivious to their emissions? Do they come from stinky families? Or is it a form of hostility -- the first step to homelessness?

 

I once car pooled with a woman who smelled like a skunk. It came time to pile into the roadster and no one wanted to get in the back seat with her. "What's that matter?" she asked. "Do I smell or something?" No one said anything.

If you want ODOR!

 

Go into the Health Food store in Berkley, CA., but avoid the other shoppers unless you want to gag!

 

The whole town has avoided anything, that would make them smell acceptable for over 30 years!

RE: If you want ODOR!

 

Many years ago I worked in a large office where there was one guy, a cute Englishman, who did not know deoderant existed and stunk to high heaven. No one had the guts to tell him and we all suffered in silence.

 

One day I had had enough and decided to go around the office and take up a collection. Now people in offices usually hate anyone taking up a collection because they seem to be contributing to so & so's wedding gift far to often. But as soon as I told them it was for "Nigel's deoderant fund" they emptied their pockets. I think I collected about 50 bucks.

 

I went shopping on my lunch break and bought soap, deoderant, colonge, the whole nine yards, and came back to the office and put the brown bag on his chair.

 

When he came back from lunch, he looked at the bag on his chair and asked "what's this". Nobody said a word. He opened it and sheepishly pulled out the items.

 

Starting the next day, good old Nigel smelled like a rose. There was never the slightest unpleasant oder from him again. Some may say it was a cruel thing to do - but - it worked like a charm!

RE: If you want ODOR!

 

These postings are entertaining to read, but how many are what I would call legitimate as opposed to exaggerations and entertaing anecdotes? Seriously, I'm not trying to start a fight, so please don't get bent out of shape.

Many people throughout the world do not use deodorant, but do bathe, quite often more than once a day---I'm speaking about Africa and Asia especially. Those that I have come in contact do not stink and do not have body odours which are offensive, if they are healthy and wear clean clothing.

Is it possible that the celebrities discussed are not only not wearing deodorant but are less than careful about their hygiene and the cleanliness of their clothing??

Personally, I am more offended by being forced to sit next to a man or woman who reeks of a perfume that saturates the atmosphere around them. Have you ever entered an elevator after a person who literally doused themselves with perfume? The smell is so pervasive.

I guess the bottom line is: wash your body ALL over with soap and pay attention to all the nooks and crannies; wear clean clothes and clean underwear and socks and allow your shoes to "breathe" and don't wear them everyday, and chances are, if you are healthy and don't eat pounds of garlic, you will not reek, even without deodorant.

According to ibdb.com Valerie Perrine has never appeared on Broadway, and "Honey Bruce" is not listed as a character in the stage version of "Lenny."

 

Now, see how these nasty rumors get started! Sorry, Val.

 

(And you'd think Angelina would drop a hint to poor Brad. Or maybe the stench is worth it?)

oops double post

There was a time, many years ago, when Europeans constantly complained that American were obsessed with eliminating body odor. They claimed that body odor was natural and need not or even should not be hidden on eliminated. I have vivid memories of being on buses in London, Paris, and Rome, when people left work in the late afternoon, and trying to hang my head out the window because of the stench. Today things have changed greatly in Euorpe but the same situation can be ecountered today in Mexico and certain other third world countries. Body ordor is definitely natural BUT that doesn't, in my book, make it pleasant to inhale.

Suitably chastized, I extend my apologies to Ms. Perrine, whose pussy surely is a fragrent thing. And my apologies as well to those members here who abhor gossip. All two of them.

 

In my humble defense, I will say I recall the evening the stage manager stopped by for a drink after a performance of LENNY. He'd had it up to here with Gorman's kvetching. "What do I care," the stage manager said, "if -------- has vaginal odor!" Now it remains a mystery as to whom he referred.

How about someone who has body odor and tries to cover it up with cologne? Ugh!

 

I suppose it's time to be serious about the ablutions of the day. I'll go forth with the image and scent of a lithe young swimmer I lusted after in the locker room this morning. Smooth and lean, fresh from the shower, he splased on a lightly scented, spicy cologne that let visions of sugar plums dance in my head.

BO gives me a hard on. Perfume gives me a headache.

How you feel about this probably has something to do with whose pits you are inhaling. I hired porn star Eric Ryan many years ago, and arrived at his apartment just after he finished a heavy gym workout. His odor was rather strong, so he offered to shower first, but I found it a surprising turn-on and told him not to bother. By the time we finished, I was a bit less-than-fresh-smelling myself.

Whatever happened to Ryan? I used to see him sudsing up at the West Side Y. He was one of the first guys I ever observed who shaved his bush. He had quite a cock.

 

There was an Eric Ryan who was heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune. The same?

Not the same guy--pornstar Eric Ryan was from a Brokeback Mtn kind of background. At the end of his career he was making pretty cheesy stuff for Christopher Rage, and looked awful, alas!

Valerie Perrine appeared in the movie Lenny as Honey Bruce, but Honey apparently was not a character in the play. And Dustin Hoffman played Lenny in the movie not CLiff. There were only three or 4 women in the play so not a large field to choose from

I agree, and as a former HR Manager I've had many of discussions with employee's about soap and deoderant. Espically when hiring international students. I was never mean nor sarcastic, just a point in our "American Culture" values discussions.

I use to work retail, and this farmer came into the store. You could smell him coming, and stupid me, was the last one at the counter. The guy had manure on his boots. His cloths were probably never washed since he bought them. He had a felt hat that stunk. Like you could smell him fifty feet away. He had a hair lip, and snot ran out of his nose and down his hairlip, onto his bottom lip while he was talking. All the others were hiding in the back, laughing their heads off.

He was a nice guy... don't get me wrong... but I guess he was a farmer who lived by himself, and no one ever told him that he had a problem.

Too bad he wasn't on craigslist. He probably would have been snapped right up. :9

RE: If you want ODOR!

 

First, strange as it is, my former boss showered but for whatever reason decide to wear their clothes multiple days. We use to chuckle the worst was the end of week, usually wore the same outfit all week, that he would whistle in the morning and his clothes would just hop on.

 

My brother on the other hand had a roomate from the middle east while going to school and he would buy a new shirt once a month and wear it the whole month. The last week of the month my brother would spend almost all night at the library to avoid the room.

 

Finally, I tried being with a guy who liked being au natural. Okay for about a 1/2 hour and that was enough. Not his fault as that was what he was offering but not again. I like freshly showered, no cologne. That said I would take perfume over heavy body odor.

 

Now the smell of leather, that can be intoxicating.

[Guest msclonly]

Yes, NATURAL was the rule of the ancient past before soap was created and access to good natural hot springs for a nice scrub.

 

I can remember when a real soak in the bath tub was only a weekly ritual, otherwise it there were only sponge baths.
