a fine yet underrated motion picture, May 20, 2013

Waterloo Bridge is a stunning motion picture with very convincing acting, quite a few elaborate sets, excellent choreography and very fine cinematography. It's interesting to note that even though Vivian Leigh had portrayed Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind just one year earlier, Waterloo Bridge is actually her favorite of all the films she ever did! Robert Taylor felt the same way; and this is probably the best reason why the two of them have such terrific, honest and believable chemistry onscreen.

a sampling of great music by Rose Royce, May 19, 2013

Rose Royce released some of the best soul, souk/funk and R&B music I've ever heard! They have a great sound and I love to hear their music.

I thought that maybe (especially as a guy) I simply don't know what shea butter cream soap is supposed to smell like but I can't imagine too many people liking the scent of this soap. True, the scent is not overpowering; but it's just not that pleasing, either.

Thus, while this soap gets me clean in the shower, I'm not so sure I can recommend this soap because the scent may not be to your liking, either!

In addition, as of the time I am writing this you may be able… Read more
