Deodorant feels like a natural place to start.What is everyone using these days?
DOMINIQUE PARISO: People need to wear deodorant with aluminum in the summer. I understand how people feel about antiperspirants, but when you're on the subway and people are not wearing aluminum deodorant, there's a smell situation that happens. Natural deodorant just doesn't work as well for absorbing moisture or preventing sweat in the first place.
TEMBE DENTON-HURST: I personally cannot wear aluminum because I have hidradenitis suppurativa and aluminum clogs my pores and creates lesions, so I do wear Native deodorant, which is natural. I think because it has a powdery texture, it helps with drying ever so slightly. The scents are also good. Cotton and Lily ($15) is pretty neutral.
AMELIA JERDEN: I also wear Native, and I would co-sign that-it's not an antiperspirant, but the scents are good and it keeps you slightly dry.
TDH: Whatever you use, I say reapply and keep your arms down. There's no reason you should be participating in any hand-raising activities if you know you stink.
DP: There is an important distinction between sweat and smell.
I don't think my sweat has much of a smell, but I sweat a lot, so we're talking just a lot of ... wet.
Okay, so how are you staying dry?

Art Fall Preview - World in Motion - An Alvin Ailey retrospective sets the tone for an array of eclectic offerings from the art world this fall.
An Alvin Ailey retrospective sets the tone for an array of eclectic offerings from the art world this fall. A gust of fresh air is blowing through the art world. A brand-new outfit called Ruby/Dakota has opened on the supercool strip of East 2nd Street. A whole new scene has formed around 56 Henry's two gallery spaces in Chinatown, and solo shows there by Laurie Simmons and Richard Tinkler promise to scintillate. Just north of the Whitney, Fort Gansevoort Gallery regularly showcases undiscovered artists, including, in September, 84-year-old quilt-maker extraordinaire Yvonne Wells. A gaggle of established artists are also exhibiting-Kara Walker, Simone Leigh, Nick Cave, and the still under-known Denzil Forrester among them. And the museums will have their fair share of thrilling exhibitions, too: The Whitney will feature American national treasure Alvin Ailey, MoMA will peer deep into its own brilliant bellybutton in a show about the woman who helped make the museum, and the Brooklyn Museum will give us an enormous show of artists based in its borough.
