Canada’s Soho Business Magazine
I picked up a copy of Canada’s Soho Business Magazine free of charge at my local Staples store. I am not usually a huge fan of business magazines as I often find their content dry, but this magazine is the exception.
This 64-page glossy magazine is rich in content, and …

Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine
I was in the mood for mystery stories, so I bought the latest edition of “Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine.” This was the January/February 2010 double issue. It featured a dozen stories and an interesting article about woman detective novel writers.

Packers Dope Sheet
Now that football season (well, pre-season) is starting again, I am once again making my weekly visit to Packers.com in order to read their weekly dope sheet.

Article : “Single-Handed Cooking” Written by JJ Goode
“Single-Handed Cooking” written by JJ Goode was the complete opposite of what I thought it would be. I thought it would be about a single parent or a single person in general working in the kitchen by themselves, but it turns out it’s about a guy overcoming the adversity …

Handyman Club of America Magazine
I just got my first issue of this magazine. My 17 year old brother and I are always talking about home improvement projects and when I saw this, I signed us up. I figured it’d have one or two easy projects. This magazine is more than I expected to …
Press Enterprise
Several weeks ago, I had to take a business trip to Bloomsburg, PA and found myself spending a few nights in that town (maybe I’ll take the time to write about that too). While at the hotel I made every effort to kill my boredom by reading the local …

Aqualumiere Gloss by Chanel (magazine ad)
Chanel is one of those brands that will always stand out because of its reputation. That reputation is one of distinction, extreme sophistication, luxury, and even excess. The lip gloss they’re marketing should be no exception. And to display that, they chose a very …
Mega Glo by Wet n Wild cosmetics (magazine ad)
They needed a mixed looking model to really set this ad off, and they got on one. I know that sounds a little prejudiced. But there are so many ways that this product could be marketed a bit more creatively. The Latina looking model has …
Lord of the Rings Fan Club Official Magazines
I’ve always been choosy in joining international fan clubs and being halfway across the globe, it was always a question whether it was worth it or not, and looking back now, it was. Since the release of the LOTR movies and now “The Hobbit” trilogy, I have been taking my …

“Here’s lookin’ At You, Squid” is an article written by W.Hodding Carter discussing fishing for squids, what they are, and how it has become popular to regular fisherman.

Old School Wrestling (OSW)
On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …

Canadian Living magazine
These magazines, Canadian Living, always look so appealing, so last year, I got a one year subscription. While I do occasionally enjoy the magazine, to be honest, I don’t think it was worth it to get a subscription. Part of my reason for feeling this is that you end …
Highlights For Kids magazine
When I was younger, I spent many hours devoting my complete attention to Highlights For Kids magazine. I loved just about every page in every issues, and especially enjoyed those infamously difficult find the picture pages! Now that I have children of my own, my pediatric doctor …
Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)
There is no better spokeswoman than Queen Latifah—to market the Queen Collection lipsticks. I imagine that this line of cosmetics was renamed specifically with this woman in mind. She is a great spokesmodel because she doesn’t exactly fit the traditional mold of someone who models for …
BBC World News (radio)
My family and I listen to the “British Broadcasting Corporation” or BBC a lot, and one of the things which I like about it is the BBC World News. Over the years that I have been listening to it, I have realised that both the one that is aired …

Anchor Blue clothing line (magazine ad)
Oh no it’s happening. There is another Hollywood blonde who is trying to nose in on the fashion world. Anchor Blue, I am assuming is the newest clothing line to hit the market. Headed by media whore Heidi Montag, this ad is everything you …
Resolve Carpet Stain Remover Commercial
I just watched this commercial on Resolve Carpet Stain Remover. The guy doing the demonstration pours read wine, gravy, and some kind of oil onto a white, plush carpet. Then he sprays Resolve Carpet Stain Remover on it, and removes the stain.
I have just a couple of …
Courier-Journal newspaper
The Courier-Journal is our city’s ultra left-leaning newspaper. When I was little, there was another newspaper that delivered in the afternoon. Now we just have the morning delivery of the Courier-Journal, and considering its poor quality, I am surprised we even have it now.
The Courier-Journal’s editorial page …
BCBG Generation (magazine ad)
Wow, what an image that is slathered across this page. A young (aren’t they all?)brunette/redhead model appears to be leaning against nothing. I imagine that this is just a position that the photographer was able to capture. She is standing with her back arched, with her …
Look: A Philippine Fashion Magazine
Whenever I have the time, I like to browse around magazine stores, especially second-hand magazine stores such as Filbars, to see what the market is offering in terms of magazines, both local and international magazines.

Active Naturals by Aveeno (magazine ad)
Boy oh boy, once one cosmetic company catches on to something, then it seems like all the rest follow suit. I think that either Cover Girl or Revlon has discovered a way to help the consumer find her perfect shade. Now Aveeno appears to be doing the …
Woman’s Day
Woman’s Day is one of many ‘women’s magazines’ that has been around for a long, long time. It’s full of recipes, diet suggestions, and ways to live healthier. It’s a publication that sometimes I enjoy and sometimes find very easy to just flip through the pages. The …

Bon Ton fragrance by Ed Hardy (magazine ad)
Ed Hardy is bad azz. I love the T-shirts, the caps, and all the accoutrement that celebs choose to wear when they are not on the red carpet. The designs are always very “brutal” looking but they have a really couture edge bordering on biker-wear. …
NBA 2K8 PS3 (magazine ad)
If the photograph displaying this Sony Playstation game is any indication of what the graphics will look like if I were to pull the game out of the box, then I might have to go and buy one of these gaming systems for myself. I am not …
