Mary Ann and the Gravediggers.

Advantages: A wide range of unique songs.
Disadvantages: Some songs are not so favourable to me, but they may be to you!

...Russian born, new york raised singer songwriter Regina Spektor never fails to bring a unique and interesting level to the music industry. The release Mary Ann and the Gravediggers, is by far her most inventive and most "out there" album, in my opinion. Track listing is as follows: Disc: 1 1. Oedipus 2. Love Affair 3. Poor Little Rich Boy 4. Sailor Song 5. Mary Ann 6. Prisoners 7. Consequence of Sound 8. Daniel Cowman 9. Lacrimosa 10. Pavlov?s Daughter 11. Chemo Limo 12. Us Disc: 2 1. Survival Guide to Soviet Kitsch 2. Us (Video) Most importantly, Regina's songs make the listener think, they are so widely varied, drawing on influences from greek mythology, with Oedipus, the myth of a boy who inadvertenly kills his father and sleeps with his mother, albeit unbeknown to him at the time...

Review of Marie Claire

MARIE CLAIRE

Advantages: HIGHLIGHTS ISSUES ABOUT WOMEN IN OTHER CULTURES
Disadvantages: FULL OF ADS, PATRONISING!!

...MARIE - CLAIRE I used to buy this magazine in my twenties, but then stopped. I now only read it at the hairdressers. This is why: ***WHAT DOES IT OFFER?*** Marie-Claire is a fashion magazine with special interest articles aimed at women. It's motto is "Fashion With Heart" and it is priced at £3.30. This month's issue (Jan) has 244 pages, plus a 32 page special about hair at the back (confusingly upside down). It has an expensive glossy feel to it with heavy quality pages. However a rough estimation tells me that over 50% of it's content is ads!!. In fact, I leaf through 8 pages of ads before I even get to the editorial. Many of the ads are for high end designer companies such as Prada, Gucci and Armani. The magazine aims to publish stories about inspirational women and takes an ethical stance (also having a 'green...

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...

ANNE BRONTE

Advantages: INTERESTING TO LEARN ABOUT SOMEONE'S LIFE
Disadvantages: NONE

...ANNE BRONTE I have been reading about the Bronte sisters and I have been reading about Anne and also some of her work so this is a very brief account of her life. Anne was born January 17th in 1820 at Thornton. She was sixth child and the last one to be born of Patrick and his wife Maria Branwell Bronte. Her father was the Curate of Thornton and he had to look for a better position because of the size of his family and then he was appointed curacy of Haworth and they moved there in the April of 1820 just a few months after Anne was born. Then very soon after they had moved Anne's mother became ill and died in the September of 1821 and was buried in Haworth Church. The children were up to when Maria Bronte died was look after by a nursemaid and her name was Sarah and her sister Nancy Gars while Patrick Bronte spent the time...

Empire of Ann Summers

Advantages: a great selection
Disadvantages: price

...Well, Ann summers shops, great aren't they? I've been to Ann summers shops before and have always found them to be very spacious, have plenty of stock and staff very helpful. Myself I know alot about Ann Summers, I used to be a party organiser. I done this for a year and only gave up because of my full time work commitments grew and couldn't spare my time anymore. Even though I am still in touch and order mostly through friends who are still party organisers I still like to have a look around the shop. The shop where i normally visit is glass fronted with dummys in the window normally 'dressed up' in the lastest new or popular Ann Summers range. Inside, there is plenty of room to move and garments are not too packed onto rails so they all get tangled up. They are nicely spread out and easy to find your size. Ann summers sell...

Review of Ann Summers (Shop)

There's Only One Mary J.

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Not as strong as her debut

...?My Life? was released in 1994 and came as the second album from the R&B and Soul singer Mary J. Blige as she, along with support from the Bad Boy label (which has Puffy Daddy as its owner, and who is also seen to produce much of this release) come to bring another heavily Hip Hop-influenced record. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Mary Jane? After an interesting introduction, you see that she guides us right into what would become a classic R&B track form the artist as you find that in this one she performs a re-worked version of the Mary Jane Girls? ?All Night Long?. She goes hard with the material and makes it her own, whilst not going too far from the original). It is a tune that I simply can?t see a single fault in and is bound to take you in immediately. **Five Stars** 3. ?You Bring Me Joy? Sampling a Barry White track that would eventually...

Ann Summers EXPOSED

Advantages: A great laugh
Disadvantages: Not for the easily embarrassed or offended

...Last week I attended my first ever Ann Summers party. I don’t know how I’ve managed to reach the age of 38 without going to one before, and I certainly won’t wait another 38 years before going to one again. It was hilarious, sexy, exciting, life-enhancing and absolutely filthy! Background ++++++++++ The Ann Summers phenomenon is headed by Jacqueline Gold. From working in her father’s business as a wages clerk, she moved up the ranks of the company and then became Chief Executive, transforming the company into a huge concern selling lingerie and sex toys to women the world over, usually through private parties in women’s own homes. The company now has an annual sales turnover of £53.5 million (gross), and is, according to Ms Gold’s own (incredibly egotistical and nauseating) website...
