Jaguar XF (magazine ad)
If ever there was a magazine ad that captured sleekness, power, and luxury this is it. The XF looks like one powerful machine. Shown in sleek silver, it covers two whole pages. The first page gives the customer a view of the front of the …
Magazine Cook’s Illustrated
Cook’s Illustrated is a cooking magazine I just discovered and I’m sad to say it took me so long to find such an amazing cooking magazine. Even though it just appeared on my radar, Cook’s Illustrated has been in print since September 1992.
One of the great things about Cook’s …

PBS - Programming/Pledge Drives
PBS is an awesome network that brings many shows to television that otherwise wouldn’t be there. There’s no doubt it’s the leader in children’s programming. Sesame Street still educates and entertains. Senior citizens can watch reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show. Music and science shows from …
Blender Magazine
This magazine is one of the best pop culture references to date. I am really amazed that I have found such an interest in a magazine that offers so much information about musical groups that I’m not really fond of. In addition to the really interesting …
Kohl’s Clothing Love Revolution (TV commercial)
I have never shopped at Kohl’s. But I understand that they have good bargains. When I think of Kohl’s, I think about the things that you would see at Target or Wal-Mart. And I think that the quality would be perhaps a little better, …
Euphoria perfume (Calvin Klein fragrance ad)
Facing you is a young woman, about 18 - 22 years in age. You can never tell because models these days are so young, and made to look so mature, that you could actually be looking at a 14 year old girl and would never know. …

Shape Magazine
There are more fitness magazines for men than there are for women. Since starting my weight training program, I was always hard-pressed to look for books and magazines dedicated to women weight trainers. I found Shape Magazine in the magazine section of the library of my school. I enjoy …
OK! Magazine
I always used to be an avid reader of OK! Magazine and i would rush to the shops to get it the day it came out. This however, has changed a few months back when i realised that it was a rip off-simple as that.

Dana & David “Only Gold” (magazine ad)
Here is yet another multi-page commercial for the marketing of jewelry by a company called Dana & David. Personally, I have never heard of this particular jewelry company. But the first page, showing only a bar of pure gold, is incredibly arresting. It …
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 …
Zoning
“Zoning” by an unknown author at Entrepreneur.com is an important piece of information for home based business owners. Not only does it advise a home based business owner where to find information about their city’s zoning ordinance, but what you can do if you business is considered “illegal”.
Since I …

If you had a gift card for Best Buy, would you feel like it was burning a hole in your pocket? Well that’s what this ad wants to make you believe. Now, I know that Best Buy offers many more products than movies and music. In …
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 …

Grazia Womens Magazine
Grazia is one of my favourite magazines as it is mostly about fashion, but not in the glossy, very arty way that Vogue does it. Grazia seems to make fashion more accessible an down to earth by featuring a lot of candid, paparazzi photos of stylish celebrities, not …
Breast enhancements by Natrelle (magazine ad)
Ok, so you’re supposed to want to get breast implants when you can’t even see the breasts of the model who supposedly has them? I have heard of Natrelle before. But I don’t really know what the difference is between getting implants according to the selection your …

Taste of Home Magazine

Delicious perfume by DKNY (magazine ad)
The apple is one of the most luscious, most fragrant fruits of all time. Yet it is very rarely used in perfume imagery or in fragrance. I like that fact that DKNY has chosen this particular fruit to market their perfume named Delicious. Named after …

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 …
National Enquirer
The National Enquirer is my favourite magazine. I love celebrity gossip, and the Enquirer happily provides it.
My husband jokingly refers to the Enquirer my “Bible”.
I used to love the column that Anna Nicole Smith wrote, it was very funny and yes, very wacky!!
I am not crzy about the issues …
