rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Admarginate - The Flash player is free.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Admarginate - Before I forever fall in with the spendthrift crowd, allow me to explain that I did not realize I had bought 40 dollar face cream until after I got home from the store...such is the way of crafty cosmetics sales ladies.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Admarginate - At 9 bucks a pop, Neutrogena Rainbath stands out on drugstore shelves. I thought it was ridiculous, 9 dollars was more than specialty shower gel stores, like Bath and Body Works or even H2O+, charge. It smells nice...but not thatnice. There was...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Admarginate - Whoever named this magazine needs to be shot in the foot to remind him of what he already did to the figurative foot of his magazine. It is a natural history magazine...but it's MORE than that, and more interesting than that. This magazine is...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Admarginate - If I had to choose one class of liquors that I most prefer, it would be gin. The gin and tonic is, in fact, the only drink I can produce in my home on request at any time. I have a bottle of Tangueray...but its purpose is more sinister.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Admarginate - I almost start to start to believe recording industry conspiracy theory when I reflex on the fact that no one has ever heard of the Trash Can Sinatras.
