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 …
Platinum by Montecristo Cigars (magazine ad)
I don’t smoke cigars, nor do I have a desire to. I am aware that there is a certain sophistication involved in cigar smoking. Creative teams responsible for this ad obviously thought that sex appeal needed to be incorporated into the ad. There is a …
Seer
I regularly read the columns of Swami Sukhabodhananda in newspapers and listen to his speeches telecast on Aastha international channel. He has a unique knack of telling issues in scriptures in a simple language. The seer’s teachings are simple but not simplistic. He talks are interspersed with humorous anecdotes …
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. …
The Sunday India
Once waiting for the train at station I came across the Sunday Indian (TSI). I bought to pass my time since it was too cheap and looks smart enough to attract the possible reader. This is a weekly magazine published from New Delhi, India.
After going through the first issue, …
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 …
The Cross Stitcher
I recently decided to subscribe to this magazine. I make different types of crafts and sell at craft shows and on-line and I am looking for different ideas. From time to time I will pick up a craft magazine in the book or grocery store to page …
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 …

Pandora is a great website and music player! I really enjoy using it! If you’ve never tried it, you’re really missing out. It allows you to listen to music for free in full quality. I like that it plays full-length songs for free! And …
Philippine Daily Inquirer
For me, Philippine Daily Inquirer is one of the leading newspapers in the Philippines. In fact last year, according to the research conducted by Neilsen Media Research, Philippine Daily Inquirer had once again ranked at the very top.

CaressBrazilian.com (magazine ad)
Nicole Scherzinger is the face on this ad. But I don’t think she’s actually Brazilian. Just because she has long dark hair and a fresh face, she is the new face for this product. The ad itself looks really really cheesy. And the palm …
KDAY 93.5
I am a huge fan of Old School Hip Hop and R&B music as back in the 80s and 90s, urban music had much more substance and did not emphasize too much about violence, cars, clothes, and materialism. Living in L.A., I found my perfect radio station which is …
Rush Limbaugh Radio Program
Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio host. He is certainly the most successful conservative radio host out there. I agree with a lot of his views on certain issues but I believe that he is way to controversial and divisive. He is a conservative but I …

We have been buying the Central Brittany Journal for the last three years. It is packed full of everything that could possibly be of interest to us since buying a house in Brittany. Before finding our house we had the Journal delivered to our home in England. For an …

Channel 67 The City
I have had my XM Radio since November 2006 and so far I enjoy listening to it. What caught my attention was commercial free music. “The City” channel 67 is a channel that suits my taste. It is an urban channel and the selection is good. There is however …
IKEA “Another Baby” (television commercial)

Pos Kota

Pie In the Sky (Wired article feature by Joe Brown)
This article was about the complexity of the New York pizza pie. There is something really interesting about New York pizza. It’s really interesting to see how many places try to duplicate the flavor. And this article attempts to explain why this is …
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 …
Nivea “Live and Be Loved” (body lotion magazine ad)
Singer Duffy has been chosen for this particular ad. In a close-up photo, she is shown with a little dab of the lotion on her nose. She is looking up and off into the distance. But you can see that she has a little of …
Wonderful magazine for women
I went to the store today to pick up a few things and came across this month’s issue of “Women’s Day” magazine. I admit it, I dont buy this magazine every month, I usually get it if there is something that interests me on the cover. This month featured …

The Jamaican radio personality Alan Magnus has worked on Real Jamaican Radio or RJR as it is most commonly known for a very long time. In fact, I think he might just be the radio personality working there the longest. One can listen to him on weekday mornings from …

Fox NASCAR Pre-Show Hosts
As a fan of NASCAR, for the first half of the racing season, I sit through the pre-race show that Fox does prior every week. The length varies, but it’s usually about an hour, and it’s held together by Chris Berman, along with Jeff Hammond and Darrell Waltrip.
Berman …
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 …

“Here’s lookin’ At You, Squid” is an article written by W.Hodding Carter discussing fishing for squids, what they are, and how it has become popular to regular fisherman.

Fox News
I watch Fox News sometimes but I don’t watch it a lot. I consider myself somewhat of an independent and most of the shows in my opinion do have a conservative bias. Some of the main anchors include Sean Hannity, Bill O’reilly and Greta Van …

Jane Velez (CNN)
