Stay classy, Sydney Sweeney.


Sydney Sweeney is selling soap that contains her actual bathwater
https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/sydney-sweeney-selling-soap-contains-actual-bathwater-rcna210015

Sydney Sweeney fans can now lather up with the actor's bathwater in a limited-edition soap made by men's natural body wash brand Dr. Squatch.

The Emmy-nominated star, who rose to fame on the HBO series "Euphoria," appeared soaking in a bathtub in a viral Dr. Squatch commercial in October, inspiring the new product release.

"You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it," Sweeney wrote in the caption of a joint Instagram post with the company announcing the product.

"Sydney's Bathwater Bliss" will be available on the Dr. Squatch website for a limited time starting at 12 p.m. on June 6, selling at $8 a bar.

I can fault grift or fraud like Paltrow with Goop, but this, they are presumably getting what they paid for. I don't think it's worth it, but if that's what they want, fill the market need.

It’s just heavily diluted bath water from the person, to the point it’s just regular tap water. A fool and his money are soon parted.

And I get where people are going with how they view her from the jeans ad, but she's been pretty cutthroat for some time in Hollywood in putting together projects.

She's clearly not an idiot and has pushed her production company to making some fascinating projects that wouldn't normally get off the ground. I have zero idea what her politics actually are, but she's being savvy about using the system to achieve her business goals.

Sydney Sweeney’s Republican voter registration revealed amid jeans ad controversy

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/03/sydney-sweeney-jeans-ad-republican-voter-registration

Sydney Sweeney registered as a Republican voter in Florida a few months before Donald Trump won a second US presidency, it has been revealed, as the public continues fixating on a new jeans ad campaign featuring the actor and a pun about her genes.

The Euphoria and White Lotus star registered to vote in Florida on 14 June 2024 – shortly after buying a mansion in the Keys – and listed her party affiliation as Republican, according to publicly available records reviewed by the Guardian on Sunday. That was about two weeks after Trump, another registered Republican Florida voter, was convicted in New York City of criminal falsification of business records and before he secured a return to the White House in November’s presidential election.

I don’t recognize her photos and her name is a mystery. I see she was in something called ‘Euphoria’. I have no idea what that’s about. I must be living under a rock. Sydney Sweeney, who are you and why are you important? 🤷‍♀️🙄

. . .let me remind you that there is an ignore function.

It won't do any good to call out the person wasting your time. For me, I look at their journal and their most recent posts. I wouldn't want to use the ignore function on someone who is merely having a bad day.

[To be clear, you are not on my ignore list. And I have no intention of ignoring you. But I do not know what happens to the thread of a conversation when you choose to put someone in the chain of responses on ignore.]

Who wants to wash with someone's bathwater? Get a grip, Sweeney. Whoever talked you into this scheme does not have your best interest in mind.

Unless, of course, you truly want to become a punchline.

Advancing a career? This won't do it.

is that I'm, often so ignorant as to who the current social stage props of the day are and which ones are trending. From my chair of blissful ignorance, this is another 'some idiot kid is doing something stupid to profit at the expense of other idiot kids' story.

And thankfully, I have the option of keeping it as such.

How to Make the Gin Cocktail Inspired by ‘Saltburn’ Bathtub Scene

https://bottleraiders.com/mixology/saltburn-jacob-elordi-bathtub-water-cocktail/



Included in the recipe are Mr. Consistent’s Lychee Martini Cocktail Mix, some coconut milk and Margot Robbie’s (who also helped produce “Saltburn”) Papa Salt Gin. Released in May 2023, the sea-inspired gin boasts tasting notes of hibiscus, citrus peel, nutty wattleseed, pink peppercorn, minerality and briny oyster shell. With the use of creamy coconut milk and a subtly salty gin, it’s hard to not see exactly what Mr. Consistent is referencing in this cheeky drink.

75ml Mr. Consistent Lychee Martini Premium Cocktail Mix (can substitute for lychee syrup or juice)

45ml Gin (preferably one with salty tasting notes)

75ml Coconut milk

Rim a coupe glass with some coconut milk and, according to Mr. Consistent, “let it drip.” Next, combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. Strain your cocktail into the glass, and it’s ready to serve.

She’s young and attractive. Everyone knows what happens to women as they age in Hollywood. The industry is known for being brutal.

She’s looking for as many revenue streams as possible. She’s already been on some shows and movies where she got naked. Now onto modeling, product endorsements, etc. Do this while people know who the hell you are. Because all of it dries up quick.

The soap thing is a silly gimmick. She knows who her fans are and what they want. All of this is basically a step up from being on only fans.
