Hotel Astor Roof 1942 - Harry James

Let me tell you about Katrina

Advantages: Fact and Fiction horrifically weaved together by a master
Disadvantages: It makes for tragic reading

The Tin Roof Blowdown - James Lee Burke I never had any intention of reviewing another James Lee Burke / Detective Robicheaux novel. He is a writer I have long admired and I continue to draw much enjoyment from all the Robicheaux books, but in all honesty they are not hugely different from each other and having articulated the reasons I?d enjoyed one I would have been largely repeating myself to review any others. However, that was until I read The Tin Roof Blowdown. In many ways this is the book that Burke has been waiting to write or, to put it another way, the book I?ve been waiting for him to write. You see, Burke builds his Dave Robicheaux stories on the colourful backdrop of Louisiana, the Deep South and New Orleans and these are invested with as much narrative care and attention as the leading characters. Burke has such ...

Review of The Tin Roof Blowdown - James Lee Burke

1942 A Love Story - Love or Patriotism? Or Both?

Advantages: Good acting, fabulous songs
Disadvantages: Story a bit far-fetched in places

1942 A Love Story is a Hindi language film aka Bollywood film and as its title depicts it is set in 1942. This was a time of a lot of freedom fighting taking place in India against the British who had been in rule for quite some time. PLOT SUMMARY Naren is the rather spoilt son of the rich Diwan Hari Singh who is famous for sucking up to the British who are ruling over India. Naren doesn?t seem to do much with his life aside from ride horses and gallivant around being self-indulgent. That is, until he meets Rajeshwari, or Rajjo, as he calls her. It?s love at first sight for him and she very soon returns his feelings. Unknown to Naren Rajjo?s father Raghuvir is a freedom fighter who?s been building bombs to kill General Douglas who?s a bit of a tyrant to say the least. Naren?s dad finds out his son wants to marry ...

Review of 1942 A Love Story (Hindi Language) (DVD)

Astounding Astor

Advantages: No clumping, lovely lashes
Disadvantages: I can't find any online

Considering my tube of Margaret Astor mascara was free with a magazine, it is one of the best items of make up I have ever used. I might not still have the magazine, let alone remember which one it was, but 7 months later I am still faithfully using my Margaret Astor Magic Style mascara. I have very sensitive eyes - anything remotely perfumed is out, and Maybelline Great Lash is a big no-no. Margaret Astor however is just right. Packaging In a nice, sleek silver tube, this is a simple yet attractive tube of mascara. It doesn't look cheap but nor is it snobbish. The top/wand has a clear plastic rounded end with a cute little flower on it. This logo adorns all of the Margaret Astor range. At approximately 4 inches long, the tube fits in any small makeup bag or you can pop it in your handbag to use after work or on a night out ...
