A world of fashion at your fingertips

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I have big boobs, a big bum, and a big belly - which can make shopping for clothes on the high street a little difficult , not just because of the low availability of plus sized clothes in some stores, but also the indignity of waddling out of a changing room in too-tight jeans to ask for a larger size . So, when I saw an advert for Fashion World telling me that their clothes went up to a size 32, I figured that this might be just the place to get some funky new kit to cover my size 22 body . The company are part of the J D Williams group, a large range of online/home shopping companies - and once you have an account with one, you can use that account to order from any of their websites - something I found pretty useful - more on that later . The site is fairly simple and uncluttered - The sites logo in a nice got pink colour in...

Review of Fashion World

A girls' game that can appeal to anyone

Advantages: Great fun, especially in the later stages
Disadvantages: Melts your time like the sun melts snow.

...When I first downloaded Jojo's Fashon Show (Jojo's from here), I thought it would be just another time management game like Cake Mania, which involved putting together outfits rather than cakes, pizzas, or whatever. Apparently, that's what the developers thought as well, but it ended up actually being a very different game. The story of the game revolves aroudn Jojo Cruz, who was at one point a fast rising star in the fashion world, but retired suddenly from the runway to raise her daughter, Rosalinde, and run her own boutique. Now she's back as a mother-daughter team to take the runway back and show up her old assistant, Claude Maximo. The story is well told and actually quite interesting, which came as a suprise. This does have its disadvantages, as I found several times when it got to half past midnight and I wanted to stay...

Review of Jojo's Fashion Show (PC)

Creativity and logic combined!

Advantages: Creative, challenging, free play on iwin.com
Disadvantages: Addictive, high spec requirements

...Although the sequel was recently released, this first installment of Jojo's Fashion Show is still a top game worth playing if you haven't already! As far as casual games go this definitely stands above the rest, it combines the usual aspects of logic and time management but with a much higher degree of creativity. What makes this game more playable is that although it is easy to pass a level it is still challenging to get a high score and get bonuses. The basic objective is to dress up models in outfits that match their style and then send them to the runway to be rated. For example one of the styles is 'hippy', so if in the selection of clothes and accessories you have say, a flowery tshirt and jeans, rainbow sneakers and a peace sign necklace then you're going to get 5 stars. You don't have to know a particular style to get...

Dedicated followers of fashion?

Advantages: lovely magnetic dolls to dress in many different outfits.
Disadvantages: small and fiddly

...My youngest daughter was recently four and this magnetic dress up doll set was the present that I got for her older sister to give her. Both girls really love dressing up dolls in different clothes so I knew that this was likely to be a big hit. They are like the old fashioned cut out dolls that I loved so much when I was a child but, these are much more clever and easier to play with than those. The first thing to mention is that these are flat dolls who live in a tin. This is very clever because it keeps everything safely in the one place and also because the clothes are magnetic and the tin is metal they all attach to the tin so again making it harder to lose all the bits. At any one time there are four dolls that can be dressed. There are also four changeable scenes which show different times of day and different times of year...

On With the Show

Advantages: Some appeal for everyone
Disadvantages: Not real enough to replace reality TV

...It's funny how sometimes the smallest things stick in your memory. I can still, all these years on, remember the first time I saw "The Truman Show". It was with my mother and we were at the cinema at Lakeside in West Thurrock. I don't remember the date, or even why we'd gone to Lakeside in the first place, but I remember we decided to see a film on a whim, and this was our eventual choice. I suspect part of the reason I remember is because in all my (nearly) thirty years, I have only seen two films at the cinema with only my mother for company. The other was "E. T.", and I remember that we were alone for that one as my brother had come down with tonsillitis and my dad had to stay home with him. Truman Burbank is the star of "The Truman Show", which is essentially a larger scale version of "Big Brother". When the film was...

The Eminem Show

Advantages: Fantastically produced album, some amazing songs
Disadvantages: Some people will not enjoy his style of music

...I like such a wide variety of different types of music, from trance, to cheesy pop to R n B. My all time favourite R n B / Hip Hop artist is Eminem. About Eminem Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers and before he made his face famous all over the world as the biggest selling white rapper, he used to be in a band called D12. It was while he was in this band, that he, along with the other band members created alter ego's for themselves. This is how Eminem was born, it actually comes from the fact that initials are MM. He also sometimes refers to himself as Slim Shady. Eminem is now the classed as one of the highest selling rap artists of all time, having sold 70 million albums worldwide. He has also won Academy Awards as well as Grammy Awards. The Eminem Show The Eminem Show is Eminem's third album and it was released in...

The World's Greatest Dog Show

Advantages: Dogs dogs dogs
Disadvantages: None

...***** Crufts ***** It was only a matter of time before I commented on the "World's Greatest Dog Show" and here it is. Indeed, it does exactly what it says on the tin - dog's and people from around the world, it's the greatest as there's no substitute for the luxurious green carpet, it has dogs and it's a show. Well, that's it then. Review finished. Actually, I think not. It's incomprehensible how much is crammed into the NEC in the four days that Crufts runs. Having been last year, mother and I decided that this would be our holiday this year - we're not the saddest people in the world - it's just not that cheap, especially with the overpriced bacon-baps and necessary dog toys, treats, blankets, collars, piccies - all for the girls that are a compulsory purchase! Unfortunately, because the NEC is in Birmingham and not...
