I spent my last $11 buying this before leaving for Russia

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 15:50:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - Origins Liquid Lip Color (sort of a stupid name) was a stocking-stuffer last Christmas from my stepmother. The color was Pink Dawn (also a stupid name) and I resolved to return it to the Origins store and get another color or something else...

Sacré-Coeur: the sacred heart of Paris

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 01:14:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I have to confess I came here at 9am after spending the past 7 hours dancing mezmerized at the Club Loco, an establishment contiguous to the infamous Moulin Rouge in the Village of Montmartre. Finally exiting the party, when it was "F**KING...

she's not a girl who misses much. . .

Thu, 23 Aug 2001 13:09:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - Strange Little Girls, Tori Amos' sixth major album is just coming out. (Or fifth, if you count To Venus and Back as an album, which it doesn't really feel like.) If you're a Tori fan, you know that she refers to all her songs as girls,...

not exactly Brilliant

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 00:39:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - When I got my hair straightened in an Aveda salon, they suggested this product as well as the Brilliant Gel. I have both and I don't find either to be all that helpful for my hair.

What you do with Brilliant Universal Styling Creme (weird...

hard on the wallet, easy on the olfactory, light on the truth

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 15:00:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - For as long as Aveda has been Aveda my mother has either been shampooing with Shampure or coveting that basic Aveda shampoo. Funny thing is, well, not really, she is my mom, but the number one best thing she has to say about Shampure and why she...

Le Pot: perfect for tea parties

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 23:43:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I bought this tea pot in Amsterdam two summers ago for 32 guilders, which is about the retail price here in the US. I'd been coveting one of these ever since I bought one for my best friend Justin two years prior. I have this pot in a subdued aqua color,...

Garnet Hill Online Store: "the clearance section!" is all i have to say

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 19:18:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I super-super love Garnet Hill. I love their sheet and bedding designs, their simple clothes for women and children, and their elegant shoes. The best thing about their online store is always being able to see their clearance items, which appear only...

Sephora.com: noooo, pamper me!!

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 18:18:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I love Sephora.com and I do have reasons.

First, the site is pretty well-designed. You can get what you want in a few steps, unlike drugstore.com, which is difficult to navigate and has (what I think are) bad prices. I like the brand boutique...

Freiburg, the Euphrat, and Fiesta

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 22:33:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - In Germany the fridgerators are the only slightly bigger than American kitchen cabinets. They have cake and coffee every afternoon at 4. And don't think about not finishing your plate ever. I thought they were going to deport me for not finishing every...

Gluklich zu sehen, Je suis enchante,

Happy to see you, bliebe, reste, stay

Vergangenheitsbwältigung AND Ichiban Telekom

Thu, 12 Jul 2001 16:59:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - Ah, the Brandenburg Tor, the jewel marking the end of Unter den Linden and framing the stunning Siegessaule.

By some stroke of luck, when I made the haj to the end of Under den Linden, approaching the Tor, I noticed the columns were not in...

no room, but soup, organic tomato juice, and seitan stroganoff!!

Tue, 10 Jul 2001 16:17:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I am so impressed with Swissair. Favorably impressed, that is.

My boyfriend and I flew to Zurich from Miami this summer, and five weeks later, from Rome to Zurich on Crossair, Swissair's main charter airline, and then from Zurich back to...

your nightly guide to the galaxy

Tue, 15 May 2001 20:10:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I must confess that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy always saves my life. And I'm not exaggerating...

for mascara addicts OR dilettantes

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 15:43:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - This product has just not gotten enough attention.

Maybe that's a good thing, so that the rest of the population can have inelegant and clumpy eyelashes, so, fine. But this mascara is awesome! It really could not be any better, unless, like,...

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 17:45:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I did not want to go to the University of Florida. My father went here, my mother went here, both of my (biological) grandfathers have been employed here, one of my aunts was Miss University of Florida, and some of my aunts couldn't get into the...

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 13:29:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I've lived in Florida, from Gainesville to Miami to Orlando back to Gainesville, all but 4 years of my life. Ergo, I know what's good! And I also know what's hype. So I'm going to divide my best and worst Florida experiences here, so you can be informed...

and i get what i want

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 20:26:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I can't believe no one's written about this EP. Especially if there are Hole fans here. This EP came out in 1995 and is definitely worth paying

This EP starts with one of the best Hole songs ever -the raw and smooth (if something...

and every breath we drew was hallelujah

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 19:49:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I was listening to this soundtrack when I decided to check if there were a review on it. Because it's a really great soundtrack. I got it used, and it's definitely a solid $8 value.

Directed by the painter-cum-filmmaker Julian Schnabel, the...

jazz in japan: cultural hybridity in 1936 fascist japan

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 00:17:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I thought this film was Tokyo Story when I was watching it and until my next film class two days later because I had the dates all wrong. Stupid me.

Anyway, this film, Sisters of the Gion, is interesting for a few reasons...

the best food in orlando

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 16:50:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - Orlando, if lacking soul, has some really great food. I'm going to tell you about it.

Houston's: this is a chain, though not a franchise, so the quality does not vary so much. Me, my family, and friends adore Houston's. It's totally...

skip Orlando and take two exits North into Winter Park

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 16:03:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - Orlando sort of sucks, but there's a lot to do there.

I spent 5 years living in Winter Park, which is a nicer town contiguous to Orlando proper. Winter Park is very nice: the people are pretty educated, there are charming historic districts,...

Kennedy Space Center Sucks of Shameless Tourism and Propaganda

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 20:30:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - I cannot begin to say how unimpressed I was with Kennedy Space Center. Actually, no, I can.

My Dad and I drove over here one special quality-time day, after we were already halfway to Merritt Island because we had taken an airboat ride in...

wake up, crippled Americans

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 15:21:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - This film should be required viewing for those who believe we really inhabit a civilized society.

Set in what appears to be 1970's Glasgow housing projects, the trash workers have gone on strike and the area is seething with disease. The...

a film for the thoughtful and engaged

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 17:01:59 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - It's kind of insipid to talk of pros and cons of a film, like its just any kind of product. A film really isn't the same thing as a cosmetic, or a game, or a car. But, nevertheless I will go on with my thoughts on Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story.

it really doesn't get much better than this

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 20:15:45 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianne - When you check into the Mauna Lani each member of your family gets two glasses of juice, both fresh-squeezed, one guava and one orange, and the most exquisite leis you will see anywhere in the Hawaiian chain. We came in at about 11pm that night,...
