Wanderlust Diaries, The - Mary Karlzen

Likable despite some 'filler'

Advantages: Distinctive vocals, not the usual run-of-the-mill female vocalist
Disadvantages: Some bonus tracks aren't necessary

no lyrics on the inlay (which is only two sheets). Karlzen has a second album out called "Wanderlust Diaries" which, on the evidence of this offering, is probably worth a listen too, if not as an exercise in seeing whether she can pull off the same trick twice. I hope so. The album gets a 'satisfactory' rating due to the slightly lacklustre bonus tracks, although I'd really pitch it between that and 'good'. I've placed it as 'recommended' since there's still a half dozen or so good tracks on the album which I think are worth repeating listening. ...

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 ...
