Detroit, Rock City

Sun, 21 Nov 1999 04:22:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - I have to adamantly disagree with Will3 on this Detroit thing. Honestly, I'm not even sure you were there. While Detroit does have some places that are merely shells of their former selves, there's much to recommend it. As for the failed greed comment,...

My Apartment: Comfortable, homey, clean

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 03:56:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - Weary travelers the world over whisper my name in one another's ears.

"If you're going to be in New York, call Leslie, stay with her."

I like to think it's my pleasant company and devil may care hostessing that does it,...

1-800-FLOWERS.com: Marginal at Best

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 03:09:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - First let me admit that a few months ago - far too long really, someone sent me flowers via 800FLOWERS. they were fresh, lovely and a day late, but they never told the sender, so the sender just thought i was a lazy ingrate. After they went through all...

Dare to Dream

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 04:09:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - You never will be as glamorous, well decorated, up to the minute, de rigeur, well shod, scantily clad, lavishly appointed, luxe, groovlicious, stylishly bored, death defyingly thin, meticulously groomed, or as well lighted as anything you will see in...

Funny and Human

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 12:31:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - For a lot of reasons, mostly socioeconomic, the last ten years of fiction, especially fiction aimed at women has been extremely serious. Think "Bastard out of Carolina" Finally, it's okay to be both poignant and laugh through the lessons...

YourGrocer Online Store: Great Prices, Poor Selection

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 02:07:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - I can live with their quirky delivery schedule, I can live with their prices, but the selection is far too limited. For a service driven industry in a service dependent town, YourGrocer just isn't showing me what it takes to succeed in Manhattan. I'm...

E-Stamp: What about me?

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 01:27:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - Once a month, I get a phone call from Pitney Bowes asking me if I want a metered postage scale. They quote their rates, I recoil in horror, then I ask them to not call me anymore. They will, of course, but now that we use eStamp, there's no turning...

Worldspan: Last Minute Lifesaver

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 00:50:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - When I fly, it tends to be at the last minute. I usually check a few sites, and I always end up buying from Wolrdspan because the fares are lower and they have more flights to choose from. The flight plans are well laid out,the conditions are clearly...

Sony DHC-MD515 MiniDisc Mini System: Quelle Dommage!

Sat, 6 Nov 1999 19:24:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - Tempted by features and tested in a poor environment, I spent nine days with this system before hauling it back to the store. Thinking that maybe Sony had corrected the problem inherent to Asian engineered systems (especially those sold in both Asian...

Canon ELPH 490Z: Take it Everywhere You Go

Sat, 6 Nov 1999 01:35:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - At some point the person who is semi serious about photography -- sitting comfortably in between those who pull out the camera solely for Holidays and the guy who puts a Polaroid back on their Hasselblad for party candids, most people either become Canon...

Slumber Party!

Sat, 30 Oct 1999 07:17:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - If this movie came out twenty years ago, my review would go like this:

Imagine me in a floor length flannel nightgown, singing into a hairbrush, smelling vaguely of strawberry lip gloss as I write this. You are sleeping over at my house,...

Proflowers.com: Pretty is as Pretty Does

Sat, 30 Oct 1999 06:04:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - It makes me mad that when I'm buying flowers for someone from a service like 800 flowers, 10-15 dollars goes right to the service and weakens my flower buying purchasing power. I mean, really should a few buds in a cup be a forty dollar undertaking? No...

Redconnect Red Res: Red is My New Favorite Color

Sat, 30 Oct 1999 05:34:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - I am guilty of all the usual sins of the urban pseudo hipster. 4" chunky heeled boots, a propensity for lattes, a pack a day habit, an over zealous collection of noise rock records and an entirely black wardrobe. I relish Sunday afternoons with the...

New York: OmniPoint Catches up

Fri, 29 Oct 1999 23:27:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - For $29.95/month I get 250 minutes of talk time (M-F, weekends are free) and unlimited receiving of email messages via my phone. I can send 10 for free and after that they're a dime a piece. After three months, I haven't had a bill over $31.00 For an...

Too Dreamy and useful for words

Fri, 24 Sep 1999 11:34:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vanity - I gave up a 7 pound Fujitsu for this and my life has gotten better every single day. Designed through and through, using clever small touches like folding power source (so the power source lays flat and the prongs don't poke out) I feared it might be...
