rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Trinity31 - Miz Trin, being the Intergalactic Space Diva she is, definitely flies her share of airlines. And recently, I tried Delta's new airline, called "Song." Now, first of all, Miz Trin has to confess that it's more than a bit silly for these airlines to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Trinity31 - Miz Trin admits it -- living in our nation's capitol would be so much nicer if it wasn't . . .well, Our Nation's Capitol. The overabundance of tourists, Congressmen and Congressional bootlickers tends to breed an atmosphere in the high-end fine dining...

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 17:29:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Trinity31 - Come winter, Miz Trin gets that awful scaly feeling that comes from dry skin. So every winter, I like to buy a moisturizer for my body that I can smooth on after a shower, so that my skin doesn't get too dry.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Trinity31 - I decided to try this on my quest for the perfect lip gloss. Miz Trin was aware of the reputation of Bobbi Brown for having very natural, anyone-can-wear 'em products. I tried some of this on, and was instantly impressed with the brush applicator, and...
