sounds that'll make you surrender to the beat. Released as their first major label outing,Elegant Slummingcombines lusty syncopations with liquid-techno vibes that ooze over the top. Throughout the mix, disco grooves, funky bass cuts, piano and bass melodies, wah-wah guitar, and sweet soul vocals ride like a convertible in the neon night. The extravagance is appropriate considering that the British trio was shaking the early-'90s foundation years before ubiquitous house releases were duplicating such soulful jams. For a little history lesson, get ready to jive from the waist down.--Lucas Hilbert

Advantages: fashion tips for the lay-deeez Disadvantages: slow introduction to the main character
Louise Canova is an American living in London. She's 32, childless and already feels as if her marriage has reached crisis point. The last thing she feels is 'elegant'.
By chance she discovers a gem of a book in a second hand bookshop. It's entitled 'Elegance' and is an A-Z of style written by Madame Antoine Dariaux, a French fashion expert. This book is the beginning of a new Louise as she reads Madame's advice on everything from ideal wardrobes to husbands. She decides it's time for a life change.
* What I thought *
To start off, this was a little cliched. Louise is frumpy - so naturellement her mother in law is an ex-model. Her hubby is more interested in gardening than noticing what Louise is wearing. As soon as Louise starts reading 'Elegance' she gives herself the Trinny and Susannah treatment and throws out ...
Advantages: Enjoyable, leisurely and well written Disadvantages: A sudden ending
I picked up this book in Waterstones a couple of months ago. I had chosen two other books in their 3 for 2 section, and was browsing for another one when this title caught my eye. Of course I had to pick it up and read the blurb on the back, and luckily, in addition to the fantastic title, it sounded like an interesting read.
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery tells the story of Renee, a concierge in a fancy Parisian apartment block, and Paloma, a 12 year old girl who lives in that apartment block. On the surface, Renee appears to be a typical concierge, who is simple, uncultured and eats bland and funny smelling food. However, she is very intelligent, much more so than most of the inhabitants, but hides it as a concierge should not be cleverer than her rich employers. Paloma is also incredibly intelligent, but, in order ...
Advantages: Reliable, sturdy hair dryer with a good length guarantee Disadvantages: Mine's about to pass its guarantee
Byliss Elegance is well worth the money, comparing admirably to dryers of twice the cost.
The 2000w dryer has three heat settings and two speeds. I find that I prefer the middle heat setting as the lower is quite cool and the higher can burn my scalp if pointed at the same place for too long! As with many dryers this one comes with a cool shot button. I've never really found a use for such a thing in my day to day life, but nice to know it is available if I'm ever in the mood. My hair is currently about chin length but around the time of our wedding was over half way down my back. The dryer coped with the long hair beautifully. I spend a lot less time drying my hair when I have my dryer than when I've been borrowing my mother-in-law or mother's hair dryers on trips to their respective homes.
This dryer is also proud of ionic technology which I ...

Additional personnel: Mark Bell (vocals); Jim Williams, Giovanni Parricelli (guitar); Snake Davis (flute, saxophone); Roddy Lorimer (trumpet); Chris Kibble, Alister Gavin (piano); Gareth Tasker (bass); Andy Gangadeen (drums); Shovel, Robin Jones (percussion); Juliet Roberts, Carrol Thompson, Beverly Skeet, Nu Colours, Paul "Tubbs" Williams (background vocals). Recorded at The Strongroom, Milo and The Roundhouse, London, England. All songs written by Mike Pickering and/or Paul Heard except "Don't Look Any Further" (D. Lambert/F. Golde/D. Hutchins). Respected DJ Mike Pickering formed M People in 1993 with vocalist Heather Small and former Orange Juice member Paul Heard. ELEGANT SLUMMING was a very popular album, and won a BRIT award for Best U.K. Dance Act. The hit "Moving on Up" was a track that propelled the group to new levels of popularity. The opening cut on the album, "One Night in Heaven," is a good example of what the band is about. Small adds cool rhythms and sultry vocals to ELEGANT SLUMMING. Some of the other remarkable tracks include "Colour My Life," "Exicted," and "You Just Have to Be There." M People is one of the best songwriting units in the genre.
