Lipstick and Leather, Hot, Hot, Hot!!

Lipstick Leather Rough Ready ebook

Lipstick Leather Rough Ready ebook

I wasn't really sure I would enjoy this book as I was nervous about the character of Danny, as I am not much into make-up wearing, feminine men. I shouldn't have worried, Danny was a fabulous character! I loved his flamboyant nature and his honesty. Lance, on the other hand, took a while to grow on me due to his behaviour when he first met Danny.

The story is a wonderful evolution of feelings, one man coming to terms with his sexuality and the other realising his sexual attraction to the other is actually more. However love isn't enough, as each man realises that the other doesn't really fit into their view of what they want their life to be like. Danny wants to be out and proud. Lance wants to protect his chances at an NFL career.

I should have realised from the blurb but I got a shock at the 78% mark when something (not saying what as it's a bit of a spoiler) happened. Thank goodness they had their happy ever after with true romantic gestures!

Brilliant shine; easy to apply; great packaging

Meguiars G6207 Black Wax

Meguiars G6207 Black Wax

Meguiar's is the only car wax we have ever used since the 1970's. Meguiar's has been around since 1901, and they not only know what they are doing when it comes to making the best wax for cars, but they make the longest lasting wax that will literally keep water beading up on your car for a full year. I know this for a fact, as we wax our cars at the end of every summer and the water is still beading up on the car a year later when we give it a new waxing.

We usually use Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Paste Wax which costs around $11.00, and if we have more money to spend, we on occasion buy Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax which costs around $21.00. They are both superb paste waxes, very easy to put on with the enclosed sponge pads on a cool day, out of direct sunlight and very easy to rub off when dry with a clean white terry cloth towel. Liquid waxes are not nearly as good as paste waxes, as we find the paste waxes last way longer, are shinier and are easier to apply.

Trying this new Meguiar's Black Wax on our two black cars, I was skeptical if it would be as good, as it is not a paste wax in a can. I found it is also not a liquid wax either, as it is in a tube with a consistency of a thick gray toothpaste- not as thick as wax, but definitely not liquid. It does not dry as quickly as a paste wax, so you have to wax the entire car before wiping the wax off. We did use the same type of sponge pad to put the wax on, also on a cool day, out of direct sunlight, and wiped it off with a clean white terry cloth towel- exactly the same way we use a paste wax.

When we were finished, we had the same great shine that Meguiar's Paste Wax gives our car, with one main difference- there is a definite super reflective mirror finish- exactly like you see in a Car Showroom- so super high gloss- you can see yourself in it! Since we tried it on black cars, my brother asked if he could try it on a navy and dark green car. He did and he got the same super high gloss Showroom Shine- so we know any dark color car will get the same gorgeous mirror shine that our black cars get from this Black Wax. We found out, there are no dyes or colorants in this wax, so it is safe for any dark colored cars. Just make certain your car is a glossy color and not a flat or matte color, as this wax only works on glossy cars. For dark colored cars, this wax simply makes your car look as good as the day it came off the Showroom Floor and it will stay this gorgeous for a full year, making it a GREAT 5 STAR WAX!

A la recherche du temps perdu

Summer France prequel Bunny ebook

Summer France prequel Bunny ebook

I am such a huge fan of this author having already read the sequel to this book the hilarious memoir Bunny on a Bike and her fabulous psychological thriller My Grandfather's Eyes.
In this prequel to Bunny on a Bike we read the memoir of Bev as she and her best friend Carol manage to wrangle a grant from their university to take an educational (errm!) trip to France one summer.
I simply galloped through this book it was so engaging, hilarious and nostalgic, all in perfect measure. Bev has such a skill for writing and recounting the many things that those of us of a certain age will certainly relate to. It harps back to the days when sun protection was a bottle of vegetable oil with patchouli oil in it and a balanced diet meant adding jam to your ambrosia rice pudding. It reminds me of my youth, although I'm not over the hill just yet! When naivety, charm and in Carol's case outright honesty were all forgiven when you flashed a goofy smile.
I can't recommend this book highly enough for a feel good, funny read written by a very talented writer.

A Courageous Reporter Looks Back at the Early Days in Vietnam

Death Zones Darling Spies Reporting

Death Zones Darling Spies Reporting

After reading "News Zero" by Beverly Deepe Keever, I knew her second book would be just as good, if not better. I wasn't disappointed. As a former reporter, my mundane beat nowhere near Keever's in any respect, I was immediately enthralled by her courageous leap from Columbia Journalism School in NYC into a battleground that was oceans and continents away from her parents' small farm in rural Nebraska. Her depth of "Death Zones" descriptions placed me there by her side as she sat squeezed between Marines in a helicopter loaded with TNT or on a cyclo pedaler as she skirted through Saigon's "hurly-burly traffic." Her more than 300 published articles were read in the pages of Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, newspapers worldwide, and even in the Congressional Record when Senator Mike Mansfield introduced her series of articles to "Mr. President." From coups and murders and assassinations, this determined and brave young woman was armed with only her trusty "Olivetti" and relenting that "it was always more important to wear lipstick than a pistol." Expertly documented with 35 pages of endnotes, readers are afforded an accurate account of what actually happened in one of the most controversial wars ever fought. The "Darling Spies" surprise ending was shocking--to the author and this reader. I highly recommend this book--especially to any and all movie-makers!

I love this little thing

Vera Bradley Zip Case Bloom

Vera Bradley Zip Case Bloom

I did not buy this product off of Amazon, I bought it off of the VB website. I would suggest doing this because they have sale patterns and you can get these for much cheaper! Anyways, I have had a zip i.d. case for about 4 years now and I JUST replaced it. I didn't even have to really, I just wanted a new one that didn't look as worn as mine did. But I can attest to the durability of these handy things! It is so convienient to have on my keychain so I don't have to go through my wallet searching for my license or credit cards. One big reason I looked into buying an ID case was because when I was in high school, I had my wallet stolen. Not only was money taken, but my license was gone as well! Being in high school at the time, when you have to get your license renewed more often, I was not pleased about losing my license when I just got it done. I had to go through the entire process of going to the DPS, paying more money, etc. So, the point of my sob story was that if I had had one of these in the first place, I wouldn't of had to replace my license! Having my license in here is great as well if I just need to make a quick errand run and I don't want to lug around my purse. I haven't tried to fill this to full capacity but you could definitely get a good amount of cards in here, I'd probably say 15 or so. I usually have my license, student I.D., a few other random cards, and a Burt's Bee's chapstick in here; zips up perfectly. It is also made very well and I like the "industrial" type ring that goes onto your keychain.
