We still have our same great contests, but we redesigned SugarLoot and added brand new features.

On this brand-spankin' new homepage, you'll be able to find out all the new things happening on SugarLoot such as upcoming contests, featured members, cool discussions, and some high-profile entries. You'll have no need to click that mouse more than you need to!

We've also added poll questions for you to express your thoughts and opinions and see how other 'Looters feel when it comes to variety of topics.

We know you'll love the new SugarLoot. Take a look around and have fun! Leave comments and let us know what you think.

If you have a picture of yourself with a noteworthy person, then enter Brush with Fame! From the A-List to the Z-List, as long as you have a picture with someone recognizable, your photo will qualify. The contest is about to be launched. The winner will receive a portable DVD player and 1 year of Netflix.

Also, we're about to launch Best Shades. Upload a picture of yourself wearing a hot pair of sunglasses and you can win a $200 PacSun gift card.

Finally, for the lovers of the great outdoors, enter Best Nature Photo. The winner will receive a Fuji Finepix Digital Camera and a $50 donation to the environmental charity of their choice.

I can't wait to see your entries for all of these new contests!

In our last CandyGram, we asked you what you thought the worst summer movie is so far.

• 40% of you thought The Love Guru was pretty bad.
• 15% of you thought The Happening was certainly not happenin'.
• 24% of you did NOT want to Mess with the Zohan.
• 21% of you thought Indiana Jones was not what it was hyped up to be.

Sorry for the disappointment in your summer movies, 'Looters, but we have a new contest that will give you those much needed laughs. Enter the Best Yo Momma Joke to win a $200 gift card to the store of your choice!

Also, if you haven't checked your inboxes yet, we have a brand new Picture Bulletin to keep you in the know about buzzworthy entries and contests. Check it out.

We would love to know what you think about this week's CandyGram, so post your feedback below.

Hey Everybody.

Welcome to the community section. It's time to start some unmoderated conversations. It's going to be wild.

Don't forget to take a look at the next issue of the CandyGram.

Tony, Jenn, and I were so excited about SugarLoot Awards that we just wanted to let you know about them now! We plan to make more videos to let you know about the latest cool stuff on SugarLoot as well as to answer questions you have.

Do you have a unique question you'd like answered by us? Leave a comment in this post and if we like your question we will include it in one of our upcoming videos.

Coming soon, the SugarLoot staff is making some changes to make your SugarLoot experience more worthwhile (as if that is even possible, right?)

On this page, we're making it easier to comment (no more waiting for approval), participate, and make yourself heard loud enough for all of SugarLoot to hear. So to mark this change, we're renaming this section Community.

Now, I know a lot of you may be thinking, "What about Nugz?" Believe me, I thought that, too. In fact, I was actually filling out an application for DeVry University when I was informed that I will still be here! Yes, I will still be posting and being the same old Nugz. So within a few days, you can come here to hang out with your SugarLoot friends, join in discussions, and be the first to know about anything exciting on the 'Loot. It's bound to be a fun time for all.

You may not know this, but the staff at SugarLoot are avid shoppers of Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and Crate and Barrel.

That being said, if you enter a catalogue pic for Best Room, chances are we will recognize and deactivate it because it is probably decoupaged in our "wish list" scrapbook, like Kathleen's entry.





Also, I know 2001 Maniacs is the creme de la creme of modern cinema, but in the real world slavery has been abolished and you cannot own a person. Therefore, entries of you with your loved one in Most Prized Possession will be deactivated. Furthermore, I would suggest you end that unhealthy relationship because chances are that person feels like you own them. Not cool.

Don't enter fake pics. We will deactivate them and you'll feel defeated, which will lead to long-term depression. SugarLoot does not want to be the cause of your depression. So, cheer up and play by the rules.

Bottom Line: Fake pics = deactivated account. Not worth it!

Not all of us are allowed to get tattoos, but you can adorn that profile of yours in any way you see fit. Plus you can always remove those Jonas Brothers pics once they become as cool as Hanson.
