Joan Rivers Uses Vodka As Deodorant

Goody, goody gumdrops! Page Six got us just what we've always wanted -- beauty tips courtesy of Joan Rivers.

The fashion policewoman recently revealed to the gossip column, "I always spray my costumes with vodka and water. It's an old Broadway trick -- two-thirds water and one-third vodka, spray your armpits and you'll never smell again."

It turns out that (one of) our liquor(s)-of-choice does ostensibly make for a good odor-masker. eHow has several different recipes for the do-it-yourself deodorant -- you can either simply dab it on or boil it down with some cornstarch and beeswax and create your own stick.

Thanks, Joanie, for the tip.

I don't get the influx of hate on these comments. It's like a schoolyard of children teaming up on one. I for one, am a huge fan of Joan, and I think she is brilliant, beautiful, and hilarious.

I thought they were going to say she uses it to rinse semen out of her mouth

She has also found that if you mix it 50/50 with Sterno homeless guys will bang her.

She used to be funny eons ago when she concentrated on making fun of herself. Her schtick then was hysterical. My idea of funny these days are really clever comedians who take time with the writing, Colbert for instance. His riff last night on Fox's assertion that women don't need Planned Parenthood services because they can get everything like breast exams and pap smears at Walmart. (Seriously). Colbert went on to relate his own colonoscopy experience in the photo department. He was trying valiantly to keep a straight face, but the audience, and I, were rolling. That was funny.

Grain alcohol, coconut oil, and salt rock all make great all natural deodorants. It's green people. Try it. Crunchybetty.com is a great site for making your own bath/beauty products.

I would have thought she was going to say she used to use it as a female cleansing product, and that is why she turned into one

Yeah, I was expecting to see "dou__che" instead of deodorant, too.

Maybe it's like Futurama and her head is really kept in a jar.

As nice as she (Jennifer Aniston) looks, I agree with Joan (ugh!) re: the choices that Jennifer makes as an actress, seems she has to act/star in X amount of movies to keep her SAG card current. She should be able to do much better, get with a guy who is not an actor or musician, so you can have a diversified life outside of Hollywood, and you might be able to keep some of what you do out of the gossip column.

There aren't enough JA stories on here, you have to make this one about her?

Dear HP Posters: In your zest to attack Ms.Rivers in whatever fashion strikes you at the moment, you've missed the point of the article. Vodka mixed with water (2/3 - 1/3) and sprayed ONTO CLOTHING (costumes) via mist, keeps the clothing from absorbing odors. This trick was and perhaps still is, used by the theatres as attempts were made to keep costumes fresh, as they are used so frequently, and excessive laundering weakens them. Some of the fancy gowns etc., cannot not be laundered.

I'm glad somebody is making sense here. And to all of you attacking her, just remember, if we're lucky we will all be her age one day. What will you do to make yourself look and feel better.

Joan Rivers beauty hints - right after I finish reading about them I'm going to get Sara Palin's thoughts on geography.

I use vodka for removing sweat stains.
