Reminisce magazine
I subscribe to the “Reminisce” magazine. It is full of information that brings back the “Good Old Times”.
Readers send in their nostalgic photos, stories and articles to share with other readers. There are various features including pictures of your last childhood, name that car, short memories, when TV was …
BCBG Generation (magazine ad)
Wow, what an image that is slathered across this page. A young (aren’t they all?)brunette/redhead model appears to be leaning against nothing. I imagine that this is just a position that the photographer was able to capture. She is standing with her back arched, with her …
DNA Daily News & Analysis
Times of India Newspaper famously known as TOI had a near monopoly run in Mumbai. No Newspaper could break its hold on Mumbai. It remained so, until DNA (Daily News & Analysis) arrived in picture three years back. Though Times of India still remains as the number one …
Old School Wrestling (OSW)
On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …
Doo Gro Mega Thick Hair (magazine ad)
This is perhaps the most aggressive yet generic ad I have ever seen for a hair care product. Doo Gro has been around for a little while. But I don’t think I have ever used it. Personally, I find the title of the product …
Two Forever Lenox Rings (magazine ad)
I have never seen a ring advertised in a magazine that is as tacky as this one. The gemstones representing the various months is not even enough to make these rings seem precious enough that I would want to buy one to commemorate a relationship. In any …
Fox 11 News/ Good Day LA
My favorite news to watch in the morning is Fox 11 News Good Day LA. Steve, Jillian, and Dorothy are the best and keep me tune into the television. They make it interesting to watch and it is not boring at all. I have been watching them for years …
4Ps magazine

Woman’s Day is one of many ‘women’s magazines’ that has been around for a long, long time. It’s full of recipes, diet suggestions, and ways to live healthier. It’s a publication that sometimes I enjoy and sometimes find very easy to just flip through the pages. The …
Mix96 - KYMX 96.1 - Christmas Season

National ENQUIRER magazine
This is one magazine that I buy even though I do know you can’t always believe every thing you read. Sometimes, they do have the “real” scoop and it makes some of these celebrities very mad.
This magazine has had a lot of law suits against it but continue to …

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.
