Real Simple Magazine
I usually don’t like lifestyle magazines because they’re all over the place. Real Simple has all the same information as those other magazines, and yet it’s very different.
I think it’s because all the information in this magazine is put together in such a simple, paired down to its essentials …
Article: “Here’s Lookin’ At You, Squid” Written by W. Hodding Carter
“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.

Coconut milk shampoo by Organix (magazine ad)

Fresh 102.7
Everyday at work I listen to the radio station Fresh 102.7 (Las Vegas, NV). I have come to appreciate the DJ’s sense of humor, especially Suzy. The traffic reports are accurate and timely. I drive to work during peak hours in the morning and I am rarely late due …
Life Takes Visa (magazine ad)
I have seen the television commercials where the Life Takes Visa slogan is punctuated by all sorts of gregarious activities. It makes people want the freedom that a credit card sometimes feel like it’s providing. In this magazine advertisement, a guitar with five necks and five sets …
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 …

Daily Variety

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. …

Practical Horseman Magazine is an excellent resource for all English riders.

KDAY 93.5
I am a huge fan of Old School Hip Hop and R&B music as back in the 80s and 90s, urban music had much more substance and did not emphasize too much about violence, cars, clothes, and materialism. Living in L.A., I found my perfect radio station which is …

Klipsch sound system (magazine ad)

TMZ staff
These people at TMZ just do nothing for me. They have a website, and they have a 30 minute syndicated TV show. What a complete waste. Worse, that our society supports it is just sad.
While I love the opportunity to see what my favorites are doing, …
Ramparts Magazine
Ramparts Magazine is a tough item to review because it ceased publication over 30 years ago! However, since it is still available via Ebay, I figured I would write a quick review on the magazine. Ramparts was a publication of the New left of the 1960’s and centered on …
