Thigh-high velvet boots yay!

Advantages: Chiwetel Ejiofor and Joel Edgerton steal the show!
Disadvantages: Slightly weak storyline but they just about pull it off

...Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton) and 'Lola' (Chiwetel Ejiofor) star in this very entertaining hit film. Okay so the story is a little weak - son gets left his father's shoe-making factory and decides that penny loafers are out, and thigh-high stiletto boots for transvestites are in. Surprsingly though, the directors have managed to squeeze a lot of entertainment out of the story. The opening scene is by far my favourite moment of the film. We see a little girl (?) sitting on a bench swinging her legs and staring forlornly at her boring, run of the mill school shoes. Next thing we know, she's only gone and strapped on a pair of very clunky, very funky stiletto heels. She then performs a little dance up and down a seaside promenade until she gets grabbed by the ear by her father whose gruff scolding revals that 'she' is actually a boy...

Review of Kinky Boots

Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...Everybody's favourite High Street chemist and beauty store! The Boots Company PLC is a chain of high street stores known for their pharmacy and beauty/health products. You can find a Boots on just about every high street in Britain. In fact Boots has approximately 1,500 stores in the UK and abroad. This is the thing I like most about it, you are always guaranteed to find a store wherever you are in the country which makes it easy when you need to buy a repeat brand or just need to pop into one quickly because you have left your toothbrush at home on a weekend away. Boots was founded in Nottingham in 1849 by a gentleman called John Boot, hence the name and turned into a chain by his son Jesse. Boots stores are very easy to spot and recognize on the high street. They include a big blue sign with Boots written on it in cursive white...

The Lateral Thigh Trainer is a MUST HAVE

Advantages: Needs very little space, targets thigh muscles and REALLY WORKS
Disadvantages: Some may find it very boring

...I happened to come across a T.V advert advertisting what seemed to be another very expensive, yet interesting peice of excercise equipment. So as usual in amazement I sat and watched the advert. It was for the Lateral Thigh Trainer. After having two children, my body never returned to its old self again, so I have been loooking around to try and find a cheap enough but effective excercise tool. So when the advert came on I was hooked and decided I had to get one and try it out. It was being advertised for 89.99 plus p&p, although it sounded goo, too good to be true infact i still thought it was very pricey. So I decided to go about getting one the "new fashion way as some would say" and look on the fabulous Ebay. Wow, there were so many, and I eventually brought myself a pink one for 19.99. Since buying the Lateral Thigh trainer I...

Remfry Thigh Pads

Advantages: Comfort
Disadvantages: Price

...MY REVIEW OF MY REMFRY CRICKET EQUIPMENT Got my new Remfry kit today and its lush. Anyway here is my review on my new Remfry kit - Ordering/Communication:I spoke over the phone to Steve about ordering an inner and outer thing guard on about the 3rd of June, and he is a top bloke (just watch the time difference when calling, as the only time English people can call is early in the morning). Had a good chat to him about the ordering process and his products (I was chasing a inner and outer thigh guard), which are obviously the best of its kind in the world (Ricky Ponting and pretty much the entire Aussie team to name just a few!) and Steve proudly admits this - when I asked if he was still doing Remfry products his response was "certainly am, the best protective equipment in the world" He sent a order form to me which I can...

Review of CA Thigh Pad Plus

Lateral Thigh Trainer

Advantages: Stick with it - it does work!!
Disadvantages: Squeaks

...This is my first review!! So here goes with a tentative (pedicured!) toe in the water! Bought an LTT online from UK Sports Imports for £44.95 including power cords who delivered within 2 days. Bought the dvd separately from ebay for £5. I think it's worth getting the dvd even though the LTT is really simple to set up and use, as it ensures you use it correctly. Also, watch out for "me too" LTT's - the most look-a-likey I've seen advertised is the 'Lateral Thigh Stepper' though I can't comment on its performance. Without the dvd, I was stepping for 30 minutes a day and my knees felt as though I'd been playing rugby or in a football match against Argentina (strange analogy considering I am female but how do you convey aching knees?!). So thank God when the dvd arrived and I stopped peddling like a mad woman! I use the LTT every...

Review of Tristar Lateral Thigh Trainer

Boots

Advantages: Convenient, loyalty points system, frequent special offers
Disadvantages: Some overpriced items

...Boots is a well-known chemist with stores up and down the country. If you don't have one near you, or find it inconvenient, you can buy products from the website at http://www.boots.com. Boots sell cosmetics, medicines, perfumes, haircare products, even sandwiches, and they are even branching out into areas like Botox, photo-processing, opticians, and laser-eye surgery! I have seen these advertised, but I have not used these services, so I can't comment on them. I have two stores near me, but I'm concentrating on the Trafford Centre branch for now. It is spread out into two floors - the ground floor deals with photo-processing and baby products, ie: nappies, bottles, etc. The upper floor is dedicated almost entirely to cosmetics, haircare products, etc, with a small section for the food (sandwiches, crisps, drinks, etc...

Review of Kinky Boots (DVD)

in the boot!

Advantages: Conveniently located and stocks the esentials
Disadvantages: a bit more expensive then other shops

...In almost every shopping centre and walkway you will find a Boots store. Quick history lesson: Boots was established in 1849 by a man named John Boot and his son jesse. The company was sold to an American drug company in the 20's and was sold back to British owners in the 30's. In 1991 Boots bought the company Halfords which sold bicycle, car and camping equipment. Boots later sold Halfords in 2002. The company manufactures its own brand of painkillers, vitamins and other such drugs. Another interesting fact found is that in 2005 Boots was looking into selling sex toys but later abandoned that idea. Would have been interesting popping into your local Boots for some face wash and a vibrator, (*immature giggle*). In general Boots is a convenient store selling many different items stuff from toothpaste to camera films. Some things can be...
