Meet me in St Louis

Advantages: Magnificent skyline. Lots to do and see. Wonderful music heritage.
Disadvantages: A number of attractions not wheelchair accessible

...We first approached St Louis at twilight and were immediately charmed by the unusual skylight dominated by The Gateway Arch which was bathed in a warm amber glow. We had driven down from Chicago along Route 66 and were pretty tired so we has little time or energy to explore ? St Louis would have to wait until daylight. ~~What?s in a name~~ First faux-pas of our trip! My pronunciation of St Louis was as in the title of the Judy Garland film and song. Wrong! A local born and bred in St Louis soon corrected me. The English pronunciation is lu-is. Lu-ee is the French pronunciation little used within the city. St Louis is named after King Louis IX of France ? the only French king that was made into a saint. The city was founded by French explorers, Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673. Saint Louis is often known as the Gateway City...

ST Tropez Autobronzant

Advantages: Nice even colour, can see where it has been applied already
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

...*Introduction* The St Tropez autobronzant is a thick lotion which you apply on your face and body, and then leave to absorb for 4 hours before washing off to reveal your tan. It promises to be 'non-greasy' and 'quick drying' with a 'relaxing aromatic scent'. It comes in one shade only, but you can reapply two nights in a row to deepen the tan. I have really pale skin that doesn't tan at all naturally, so I have to be careful what fake tan I use as I can be left with orange coloured skin! *Packaging and Price* The packaging is quite simple and whereas most fake tanning products come in a brown or orange bottle, it is distinctive as it comes in a white bottle with black writing. When buying, look carefully at the bottle to check you have the right product though as the St Tropez body polish comes in a very similar bottle...

St Annes NOT Lytham

Advantages: lovely
Disadvantages: rubbish when it rains

...Before I start there is one thing I need to get straight Lytham and St Annes are two different places with 2 different town centres and I am reviewing St Annes and not Lytham. (ok it is now a single borough but the people that live in these places see them as separate towns) If you put either St Annes or Lytham into google etc you will get information on both Lytham and St Annes The full name is St Annes-On-the-Sea which is shortened to St Annes . A Bit of History Colonal Clifton the squire of Lytham wanted to develop the area known as 'West End' (That part is now St Annes) All there was in 1870 was Dunes, a railway from Blackpool to Lytham and some farms and cottages that paid rent to the Clifton's. They had seen the good of Lytham as a resort so saw the dunes as somewhere they...

St Brides the Wedding Cake Church

Advantages: free, interesting crypt, peaceful
Disadvantages: not so many memorials to look at

...Have you ever wondered how the tiered wedding cake came about? Look no further than the distinctive spire of St Brides just off Fleet Street. An 18th century baker William rich used the three tired spire as inspiration in a range of wedding cakes and it has became the standard ever since. However there is so much more to this delightful little church which I often visit to get away from it all. Saint Bride's has a long and interesting history. Named after Saint Bridget, a 5th century Irish saint who turned well water into beer (a nice party trick me thinks and always a welcome guest) there has been at least been seven church buildings on the site since Saxon times. Being on Fleet Street it is known as the Journalist's church and it is associated with a number of literary figures such as Boswell, Dryden, Lovelace, the diarist Evelyn...

A St Tropez Tan

Advantages: Excellent colour, easy to see where applying as it is coloured
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This product has got to be one of the most convincing fake tans I have ever found. Last year, being a very pale shade with the task of being a bridesmaid for one of my mates, I decided that I didn't want my pale skin to clash with the pale dress I had to wear!! So off to a salon to have the St Tropez professional tanning treatment. I was amazed! I emerged from the salon with a decent tan (as it is coloured you can see the effects immediately). The tan developed and I was left looking as though I had been on holiday. It lasted for nearly 2 weeks. A real confidence boost for the vain people amongst us!! After seeing how the professionals do it, I now do it myself!!! It is much better to mix half and half with moisturiser. If you go wrong you just apply another thin coat. You wash the excess off about 4-5 hours later and you...

St Trinians: The remake

Advantages: A good range of well known actors.
Disadvantages: Not such a good storyline!

...St Trinians was brought out on 2007, and is a typically teenage-y film, its currently playing on Sky Movies, and I thought I would give it a watch, a friend told me it was good, and so I thought I would give it a try. St Trinians is an English "ladies" private school, located in the South of England, the school is renowned for its girls' attitudes and bad behaviour and the Head Mistress Mrs Fritton doesn't seem to give a care in world. When Annabelle Fritton is taken from her expensive private school Cheltenham Ladies College and taken to the cheaper St Trinians on a "family discount" basis, and is thrown in at the deep end with her clsss mates. The Chavs, The Emo's, The Geeks, The Posh Totty and The First Years. When it becomes apparent the school is to be closed down if Mrs Fritton doesn't raise £500,000 for the bank. So...

St. Elmo's Fire - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Excellent Movie Sountrack.
Disadvantages: None!

...REASONS FOR PURCHASING: St Elmo?s' Fire is one of my all time favourite movies that I really had great pleasure in watching in 1986. I really was thrilled when I first saw this excellent, star studded movie and was highly impressed with the soundtrack and all of the great songs that where played throughout it. I purchased this soundtrack a few years later after watching St Elmo's Fire, as I really thought all the songs chosen for the movie really helped it to be the big success it was. The Theme tune to St Elmo?s Fire was an excellent choice by producer David Foster. It is called "Man In Motion" and was performed by John Parr. The theme tune to St Elmo's Fire is played in little stages, instrumentally in this movie and it gradually builds up to an excellent song that?s performed by "The Great" John Parr near the end of the final...

The Belles of St Trinians?

Advantages: Entertaining, some good performances
Disadvantages: Too much going on

...When Annabelle Fritton's father forces her to attend the school at which his sister is headmistress, she doesn't realise quite what he has let her in for - St Trinian's is seemingly governed by total anarchy, with the schoolgirls allowed to do exactly what they please. Headmistress, Miss Fritton, apparently has no control over them, yet she has their undying devotion. Annabelle slowly begins to realise exactly why this is. When the girls find out that St Trinian's is facing bankruptcy and may be shut down, they get together, with the help of Flash Harry, to ensure that this doesn't happen. Will they win the day? Or will the Minister of Education manage to get the school closed down? Rupert Everett, who plays both Miss Fritton and her brother, Carnaby, clearly had a total ball when he made this film. I really enjoyed watching him...

Lifestyle and Party in St. Gallen?

Advantages: nice old part of town | nice coffees and restaurants | safe
Disadvantages: not that special for sightseeing and going out...

...Some of you possibly know me a little bit and have heard that I was born in Switzerland. I still live there and I suppose, most of you have never been to "my" country. I'm not really patriotic but I think it's not bad to grow up in Switzerland. Today, I'd like to present you a little part of this country. I've planned to write about St. Gallen, the town next to that village I live in. *** Generally about Switzerland *** I hope, all of you have heard of Switzerland before. It's a neutral country situated in the middle of Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy and France. It's a little country, famous for it's chocolates, cheeses and watches. The population is about 7 million people, quite similar to London. Special for this country is that here are spoken 4 languages. These are (Swiss-)German, Italian, French and Rhaeto...
