Wonderful magazine for women

The Foundation for Better Life TV Ad Campaign
I am commercial’d out. I’ve been around a long time, and I just hate gimmicks, be it for charity or soap. Sometimes, though, something comes along and just captures my interest. That’s the case with The Foundation for Better Life TV Ad Campaign.
These are short spots, …

V05 Extreme Style Hair Products commercial
Now THIS is a commercial I really like. It’s a two-page spread that I found in Blender magazine. On the first page, you see a woman and man in an elevator. First and foremost, I must say that whatever building they’re in looks incredibly classy. …
Fox News Channel
You know, Fox News gets a lot of flak for being “biased and skewing the facts”. People act like this is some travesty. Yeah, because no media outlet has ever been biased or skewed data before. I mean, to quote ESPN, C’mon Man!
Yes, I know, Fox …
Article : “The Last Chinese BBQ” Written by Francis Lam
“The Last Chinese BBQ” is a very fervent article written by Francis Lam about memories: Past, present, and future. I actually had to read it three times: The first time I kept getting distracted; the second time I just read through it without taking in what I was reading–distracted …
In Style magazine
When In Style magazine began several years ago, it was a much thinner publication than it is today. The articles were awesome. With a focus on the celebrity and their homes, it brought a unique perspective to the public. The first two issues pictured Barbra Streisand …
Flavors (A Food Magazine)
Whenever we do our grocery at any SM supermarket, I see the magazine Flavors featured prominently on their shelves. Their marketing strategy worked on me, and I finally relented and bought one to help me navigate our kitchen. I like this food magazine than Foodie because the font and …

Time Magazine
A few months ago, I got an offer from Time Magazine I couldn’t refuse; a year’s subscription for $15. I can see now why it was so cheap.
In the past, I could get Time Magazine and read it front to back; being entertained by everything in it. Now, I …
Cosmopolitan Magazine
My favorite magazine is Cosmopolitan. I’m not sure why, but it beats out all the others by a mile and a half. Cosmo (as it’s known by most people who’ve heard of it), has everything that a woman in her early 20’s could want to read about. …
Entertainment Weekly
My favorite news magazine is Entertainment Weekly. I understand this is not a source for news going around the world, but news of the multi-media venture. I don’t mind. I am tired of turning on my tv, seeing items that do affect me, but depress me. …

Fine Gardening Magazine
I’m not good at gardening by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps that’s why gardening magazines fascinate me. A lot of times I just look at gardening mags for the pretty pictures and that’s about it. I love gardens, but in general I’m used to designing interiors. Designing for …

Kohl’s Clothing Love Revolution (TV commercial)

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 …
Oprah Magazine
I received two issues of Oprah magazine in the mail. I expected it to be filled with stories and exciting news. It was nothing like I expected. It was filled with advertisements. I bet you if you took out half of the advertisements in the magazine it would be …

Fabulosity by Baby Phat (magazine ad)
Kimora Lee Simmons is not a favorite personality of mine. She is a little bit on the ghetto side. In this ad, Kimora is airbrushed looking a bit thinner, more svelte, and seated on a diamond in perfect model stance. She is wearing a purple slinky …

Why Things Suck (article by Sarah Silverman)

Bushmills Irish Whiskey (magazine ad)
I like this ad. There is something earthy and old about it. I know it’s probably the fact that whoever thought of this wanted to ensure that the person perusing the magazine stopped here and realized how old and classy this alcohol is. Seeing barrels of …
