So what’s Steph been up to in the last year? According to [this interview](https://thechive.com/entertainment/celebrity/fart-jar-aficionado-steph-matto-sells-boob-sweat-and-grave-plots-for-pretty-penny/), she’s expanded beyond selling her farts. In the last year, she’s sold: Her boob sweat (for one hundred dollars) Her old mattress (for ten thousand dollars) The cemetery plot next to hers (for one hundred thousand dollars) And took some time to give back to society by judging a butthole contest. > It was a pretty even split between men and women, and it was based on several factors: Shade of butthole, the amount of spokes on the butthole, and then personality, because every single butthole has a different kind of personality. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Is there some reason she has to get out of the business entirely? It may be unhealthy for her to produce 50 jars per week, but there must be some level that is sustainable and doesn’t put her at risk. If she only sells 5 per week, that’s still not bad. this - quite logical proposal - would not have made the news-circle … you see???
