Converse.com (magazine ad)
This page is full of celebrities who are all wearing Converse sneakers. However, I can only recognize two of them: Santogold and Pharrell. The others are most definitely musicians, as this a mic stand positioned behind one of the other “models.” The ad itself is in …
Men’s Health Magazine
Now this is one magazine that is like a Bible to me and I find myself buying it month after month I think it wouldn’t be too much of a bad idea to subscribe to it.
This, for me, is one of the best magazines to hit the …
Raleigh News and Observer
The news and observer is one of the best local papers I have ever seen. Ive lived in a great deal of different places, most of which have had a sub par local newspper. The news and observer does a good job of letting people in the area know …
Look-Alike (TV Guide channel program)
There is something really whimsical about wanting to look like your favorite star, and then getting the opportunity to be completely made over by a panel of professionals. I have seen a few episodes of this show, and the most recent one I saw was the one in …
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 …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 4 (DVD)
I had volunteered to help teach Vacation Bible School this summer and signed up for Chadder’s Cinema Science. We watched a video each day entitled Chadder’s Science Adventure and also did a small experiment to go along with the theme being taught on that particular day.
Chadder’s Science Adventure DVD …
Daily Variety
Daily Variety is one of the trade papers for the show business industry. It’s published every weekday, except for holidays, so it’s quite expensive. I’ve subscribed to it often over the years, back in the days when my salary was actually decent and the economy wasn’t such …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 1 (DVD)
Chadder is a chipmunk and I first encountered Chadder the chipmunk and his fun DVD on the first day of my volunteer work at a local Vacation Bible School one of the churches in our area was having.

Klipsch sound system (magazine ad)
Again with all the technology, and the merging of it with music. Here we have a young man seated at his notebook with an electric guitar in the background. I guess you get the impression that he’s interfacing his music with some sort of software. The …
Star Magazine
If you like to read about celebrities you will like this magazine. That is all it’s about. It’s also not filled with advertisements like a lot of the magazines are. It has pictures of celebrities, stories about them. It is a lot more entertaining than a lot of them. …
Aflac Duck campaign featuring Carl Edwards
Probably my favorite commercial creation since the Energizer Bunny is the Aflac Duck. This quacking creature really amuses me, but more so now that Aflac is sponsoring NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards. As a result of the sponsorship, Edwards has been doing a series of ads for TV …
Candy April 2009 Issue
I feel bad for missing Candy’s March issue because it has a free Bestfriend Forever (BFF) bracelet. So when I went to a bookstore, I grabbed an April Issue hoping that the freebie is still there. No luck. It has one dangling pendant or accessory that you can attach …
A helpful and interesting read.
Last night I purchased an Allure magazine from a local book store. I paid about $2.99 for it. On the cover of this month’s mag is a picture of Mariah Carey. Some of the headlines on the cover include, “Easy Sexy Hair”, “The Best Fall Makeup”, and “10 Hidden …
Why Things Suck (article by Sarah Silverman)
I picked up the February 2008 issue of Wired magazine and was awe-struck by seeing a picture of Sarah Silverman. Not a huge fan of hers, I wondered what in the world she could be doing on the cover of an electronics magazine. In any event, …
KYMX 96.1 Morning Show
One of the stations I like to listen to for music content is KYMX, 96.1. This station plays a mix of music (hence, the call letters) from a variety of genres. You hear music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, as well as music of today. …
Mega: Philippines’ Fashion Magazine
Mega is the more expensive (just a tad) counterpart of Preview Magazine, both local fashion magazines in the Philippines. It is published by the Mega Publishing Group, and is exclusively about fashion in the Philippines and fashion relevant to the Filipinos. I patronize this magazine, buying their monthly issues …
The Nation , Thailand’s Daily Newspaper
I am to some extent a newspaper addict. I must read a daily newspaper of the place wherever I am and wherever I get to. That ofcourse also is work related. I need to keep myself updated with all the developments in the business world in the country …
Rolling Stone magazine
As with any publication, there are no doubt many different types of readers in the audience of the most ubiquitous music magazine, “Rolling Stone.” Some feel the writing and coverage in “Rolling Stone” is generally of a high standard and choose to subscribe, others only grab a copy when …
Boating Life magazine
Boating Life magazine is a magazine that I never ordered but has been coming to me for several months. I think I may have signed up for something like this when I attended a boat show several months ago. This magazine first and foremost is a magazine for boaters. …
The Complete New Yorker Hard Drive
The New Yorker has just released a hard drive with every single issue of their magazine from 1925 to the present on it. I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea. This 80GB hard rive holds all of the editions of the magazines, so all you have to do …
Reader’s Digest Magazine
This is everyone’s favorite, and certainly mine, as well. Without fail, will I subscribe to Reader’s Digest Magazine for each time its edition comes in.

METRO Magazine
METRO magazine is perfect for successful women but you’ll end up scanning the pages and just looking at the pictures if you’re a teenager and still studying. Last week, I’ve got a copy of it for the first time. It features successful independent women of today and their fabulous …
Bain de Terre Sugar & Fig Scalp massage scrub (magazine ad)
Now this is really a strange product. A scalp massage scrub? I have never heard of this before. But I won’t knock it until I’ve tried it. In reading this ad, I see that the caption indicates that the product exfoliates the scalp, leaving it …
Lucky Magazine
This was the free replacement subscription offered to me when Domino magazine went out of business. This magazine I would not have chosen to subscribe to or even purchase an issue of. But as that decision has been made for me I continue to receive it every month.
I have …
Asian Dragon (Publication)
At first glace, Asian Dragon could well be another magazine occupying shelf space in magazine stand but upon closer examination, it has every right to do so.
Asian Dragon is a new addition to the growing titles of magazines in Metro Manila. It is a business and lifestyle magazine …
VisitOrlando.com (magazine ad)
If I wanted to advertise a website for Orlando, Florida, I would certainly not do it in this way. I might have some imagery of the golf courses, the swimming pools, or perhaps even Mickey Mouse. But what I wouldn’t do is have a close-up shot of …
CNN’s coverage of Chilean Miners Rescue
Like thousands in America and I’m sure around the world, I was tuned into the coverage of CNN when the miners in Chile were rescued. This event captivated the globe for the last couple of months. These 33 men were trapped below ground, and no one even …
Lionsgate (magazine ad)
I have never ever seen an ad for a movie house before. Furthermore, I have never seen a production house use a line of films by a specific director, to market the production company. Lionsgate is actually one of my favorite production companies because they tend …
Coconut milk shampoo by Organix (magazine ad)
Here we are again with the ads for cosmetics and other beauty products that have food in them. However, doesn’t this sound really lovely? Coconut milk sounds refreshing. I understand that it is good for you in terms of nutrients. But from the looks of …
Ryan Porter (MSN.com Journalist)
I usually enjoy reading the news that is linked on MSN.com, and mostly find the articles informative, entertaining, interesting and the perfect length to stimulate the mind on those hum-drum days at work. HOWEVER, this particular reporter never ceases to amaze me.
Ryan Porter writes the “dramarama” articles you find …

Nintendo DS “Play For Me” marketing campaign
I really like the ads where celebrities are shown playing hand-held video games against their friends. In this commercial, America Ferrera is shown having a good old time supposedly by herself, in a nondescript location. Her device has her name emblazoned on the front of the Nintendo …
The Awful Show : A comedy podcast
I work overnights and spend a lot of time listening to podcast. At one point I was subscribed to over 30, and The Awful Show was my favorite.

American Baby Magazine
Shortly after finding out I was expecting my first child, I began to look for magaizine subscriptions on parenting. I found American Baby very pleasing to read in the doctors office, so I went to their website. There I found many resources, including how to get a …
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 …
Outside Magazine Travel Issue
I am very fond of magazines. I have a large collection of them, and my mother is always after me to dispose of them. She says I collect trash while I say I keep information. I have magazines on different topics that I am interested in. Travel magazines are …
Bio-Oil Scar Treatment (magazine ad)
Now this is a new one for me. I had no idea that this product even existed. I have some scar damage and am always looking for products that reveal the great skin that I have underneath. (How is that for a commercial?) Anyway, …
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 …
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 …
In Style Fashion Magazine
This magazine is priced at $13 and my first thought was ouch, it was really expensive, but I had rarely splurged on these kind of magazines in a long time and I wanted to see the red carpet’s fashion ups and downs so I bought this magazine and wasn’t …
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 …
