Atomic Ranch Magazine
This is only a quarterly magazine. But, I’m glad it exists all the same. It’s a fun magazine for mid century design enthusiasts like me.
A lot of it seems to be about showing me peoples’ midcentury interiors. I guess the idea is to inspire others to try to …
The New Yorker Conference (magazine ad)

A helpful and interesting read.

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 …
Cosmopolitan Philippines
I take after my mother who absolutely loves magazines. I have a lot of subscriptions, and one of them happens to be Cosmopolitan Magazine. At first glance, Cosmo is a radical magazine for Filipinas, who are known around the world as conservative women. Although Cosmo has the requisite discussion …

The newspaper it self consist of a 20 …
Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …

Luxury Reborn Belvedere Vodka (magazine ad)
I know that magazines are supposed to be progressive in order to sell copies. But I am really surprised that the sexual overtones would be this explicit. In this ad for Vodka, a bright green-eyed woman is seen applying lipstick. Her wide eyes imply …

Rouge is a brand new …
Kenneth Cole Reaction Cologne (magazine ad)
This magazine advertisement for Kenneth Cole Reaction cologne really really reminds me of a Calvin Klein ad. There is shown, a close-up of a man and woman who’se faces are almost touching. From the way they are photographed, and from the background, I would imagine that they …
Myles of Style HGTV design show (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have actually seen this show. But I am a huge fan of shows which transform living spaces into little wonderlands. This show is hosted by a black woman named Myles. I have never heard of her. But I think …
IKEA “Another Baby” (television commercial)

I just read an article in the August 14,2006 Time Magazine. It details the life of a Time Magazine writer in Baghdad. It is an important thing to read. It is sad, it is tragic, it should and will affect people’s opinion of the war in Iraq. If you …
Fresh Takes by Dove (magazine ad)
It seems that all sorts of products are associating themselves with musical artists these days. I have no idea how this phenomenon spread so quickly, or why. But Dove is now one of those product makers who has joined the bandwagon in hoping that attaching big names …
Love Letters Radio Program on DXMS, Cotabato City
Last December 2, following a visit to my mother’s grave in the province for her death anniversary, I got the greatest shock of my life. While I was still in the bus, my cellphone began beeping and ringing like crazy. For a moment, I thought my employer needed me …
Total Girl Magazine
I was scanning for women’s magazines when I found this Total Girl Magazine. It was a popular teen star that’s on the cover. So I purchased it. When I got home, I was so surprised because I thought this magazine is for older girls, but it’s for tweens! I …
Greatest Christian Hymns of All Time radio programme

Never have I heard of a product that corrects hair color mistakes. But with all the horror stories I have heard of people messing their hair up with dyes and rinses, I would imagine that this would be a very helpful product. A model is shown …
Family Circle Magazine
Family Circle has always been my favorite magazine. I remember as a child staying the night with my grandmother and always looking through the piles of them she had on the coffee table. Back then I liked looking at the pictures of clothes and then seeing the food and …

Tide With Dawn Stain Scrubbers (magazine ad)
Tide is one of the longest-running, best-selling laundry cleaning products on the market. I have always loved Tide, and would probably believe that it could remove any stain. Plus, the product has a distinctive smell that I love. Anyway, anyone who watches the CW network …

Nick Jr. Magazine
We didn’t subscribe to Nick Jr. Magazine but our daughter got a year’s subscription from a family friend for her birthday. And, after her getting a few issues of it, I have to say it’s pretty good.
The magazine takes her favorite cartoons and shows and puts them in a …
IMAN luxury eye shadow (magazine ad)
Again Target has done it again with a wonderful ad. I had no idea that they even sold IMAN products. I shouldn’t be surprised since they sell all sorts of wonderful items for women of color. But in this ad, the eye shadow …

National ENQUIRER magazine
This is one magazine that I buy even though I do know you can’t always believe every thing you read. Sometimes, they do have the “real” scoop and it makes some of these celebrities very mad.
This magazine has had a lot of law suits against it but continue to …
ABC Family: The 25 Days of Christmas
Every December, the ABC Family Network presents The 25 Days of Christmas for its viewers, featuring holiday shows from December 1-25. I watch the ABC Family Network year-round, but never as often as I do in December. There really is nowhere else that you can get such …
