Everyday at work I listen to the radio station Fresh 102.7 (Las Vegas, NV). I have come to appreciate the DJ’s sense of humor, especially Suzy. The traffic reports are accurate and timely. I drive to work during peak hours in the morning and I am rarely late due …

Better Homes and Gardens is a magazine that I agreed to try on trial basis. I received an issue the other day. It is the October issue so needless to say it has many fall ideas in it. It includes Halloween cupcakes among others. I like Better Homes …

I had a subscription to DogFancy magazine many years ago, when I was in middle school and students got special incentives to sell magazine subscriptions at fund raisers. I ended up buying myself a subscription to the magazine to keep up with all things dog-related. I remember …

I would love to love this ad for the wonderful fashions therein. But I just can’t. I write a lot of reviews about things that I see in Essence magazine. I am sure that must make me seem like a hater. But I am just …

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. …

Let’s take a trip back to the 1980’s, more specifically to The Bronx, where Puma sneakers (with the fat laces), Gazelle glasses and asymmetrical haircuts were all the rage. Upon perusing Blender magazine, I was delighted to see an ad for The Puma Store. First of all, …

I am a huge fan of R&B, Hip Hop, and Old School Music. Living in Los Angeles, I have found the perfect radio station that best suits my needs and that is 102.3 KJLH. With KJLH, they value the community much more than other radio stations. They care about …

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 …

This is one concept I give a lot of credit for to the pioneers that identified a need to fill the gaping hole in this market. A weekly newspaper published especially for the listing of classified advertisements.
I find it to be a bit limited however, in the sense that …

American Photo Magazine is a magazine of pictures that I like. I am a reader, an avid one at that, but there are times when I just want to look at pictures, stare and study them, not just to read. And that is the exact abstract from …

I’m not an African American, but one of my favourite African American magazines is a magazine by the name of Essence. I usually see them being sold in stores, but when I usually get the chance to look on them is when I’m either in a waiting area, or …

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 …

When it came out last year (2005), GIANT magazine was the coolest. It touted itself as being men’s interest, but I had such fun with it. Its book and movie reviews were sharp, plentiful and on the mark, the interviews were punchy and fascinating, and even the layout …

I first started reading the Daily Mail about five or six years ago after reading my Dad’s copy a couple of times.
One of the main things I like about the papaer is that it doesn’t really deal with celebrity ‘news’ instead, it deals with real news.
The Daily Mail …

I have been using Netflix for about 3 months now.
It seemed like the perfect service for me and my partner. We are both great movie and tv-show lovers, but as we are both tough and only just starting on the career ladder we cannot afford renting or buying movies …

I have been very interested in the fitness industry since I bought my lifetime membership to a gym. Part of my collection of magazines is fitness magazines. I use to make do with fitness magazines targeted for men because I found that there was a dearth of books and …

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 …

I just got my first issue of this magazine. My 17 year old brother and I are always talking about home improvement projects and when I saw this, I signed us up. I figured it’d have one or two easy projects. This magazine is more than I expected to …

People magazine debuted in 1974, …

Being that I’m no spring chicken anymore, I’ve seen more commercials in my lifetime than I’d care to admit. That’s why when a fun group of ads come along, it’s worth mentioning, especially since I use that wonderful remote control to avoid most commercials these days.
Being commercialed-out, it’s …

At first look The Writer seems like an unimpressive and overpriced magazine. It does not have any flashy or attractive design; it is quite thin and it is printed on a thin paper. But once you actually look inside, riches can be found. As an aspiring writer, I have …

This was supposedly the pink issue. Im not a pink girl and honestly buy the time I got through the magazine I thought I’d be a little sick of pink. With pink as a potentially very predictable theme, I thought they’d be more creative. Pink can be very edgy …

I know that magazines are supposed to be progressive in order to sell copies. But I am really surprised that the sexual overtones would be this explicit. In this ad for Vodka, a bright green-eyed woman is seen applying lipstick. Her wide eyes imply …

Comedy sketches using action figures is not a new concept. I remember in the early 1990’s, Jon Stewart (later the host of The Daily Show) made a short using Barbie dolls to parody the survival film, Alive. Probably the most well known example of this comedy style …

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 …
