Media Reviews
Family Circle
Family Circle is a publication that I’ve come to appreciate more over the years. I found myself looking at the issues and reading more of it than I do some other media in the same category. For example, the most recent issue is the March 2009 publication. …
Comcast Triple Play ad campaign
In my lifetime, I’ve seen more commercials than I care to think about. Some of them are classics, poignant ads that somehow warm your heart, and others are on the total opposite end of the spectrum — annoying things that just make you want to turn off the …
Coconut milk shampoo by Organix (magazine ad)

Prayer For Baby Obama (YouTube video)
You know, I didn’t really know what to make of this particular parody on YouTube. So many people have submitted some really great YouTube spoofs. And while this one was funny, it was a bit difficult to understand at first. Perhaps the sound quality is …
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 …

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, …

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. …
Glamour magazine
I was shocked to see that no one had written a review on Glamour magazine yet! Personally, I find this magazine to be one of the better magazines out there for women (it is my second favorite, after Cosmopolitan). Included in the magazine is just about everything …

Target Fresh Grocery mail publication
The Target chain has added groceries to its aisles in 2010, and apparently, that has made its way into my area as well. I can tell because in my mail today was a large pamphlet full of images and information designed to get me to shop there.
I had …
Entrepreneur Magazine
Entrepreneur magazine is published monthly in the Philippines by Summit Media. This magazine never seems to run out of sensible stories to tell each month to the entrepreneurial reader. Each column is worth a read and you will never find any column dull or hard to comprehend as the …

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 …
Biolage Styling products by Matrix (magazine ad)
Now here is a blonde that is really taking a hair ad to new heights. She’s not particular beautiful. But I absolutely love the fact that the texture in her hair and the haircut really defines what this product is all about. Strength in styling …
Good Housekeeping magazine
Whenever I am in a waiting room I have always bypassed Good Housekeeping magazine and instead reached for a celebrity gossip magazine, Glamour or Marie Claire. I always assumed that Good Housekeeping was for older women, maybe in their 40’s and 50’s with grandkids, spouses and a home grown …

The Daily Mail …

I have been enjoying AARP magazines for about five years now. The AARP March/April 2006 issue is one of my favorite issues. I love the picture of Goldie Hawn on the cover. In my opinion, Goldie Hawn is strikingly beautiful even at sixty years of age.

My brother and I take after my mother who loved to read magazines. When we were younger, magazines use to be a luxury because there were only a few local magazines in the Philippines. We were inundated with magazines from the US, and I grew up reading them. Free …
