Vintage Style : Buying and Wearing Classic Vintage Clothes
I pre-ordered this book after eagerly anticipating it for months, and I wasn't disappointed -- it's fabulous. The photographs are beautiful, and the text clear and informative. The "real women" models had a nice mix of styles, from classic to funky, and I picked up some great, practical ideas on how to wear my Bonnie Cashin leather trench. I wish that it were twice as long, or that I had a sequel to look forward to, because there are precious few books devoted to high-end vintage clothing -- or any kind of vintage clothing, for that matter.
Vintage Style : Buying and Wearing Classic Vintage Clothes
This book is hysterical!1. The pictures: Tragic, to say the least. I found the photo of HAmish BOwles on a Zebra-skin rug to be utterly appalling. This book really does a disservice to the fashion industry as a whole. Not only that, the tips are verbatum from another book that I purchased 6 years ago. I think Miss Dubin should find a new study, for this is not her forte. I feel that this book was a big waste of money. If you are truly a collector or you love vintage this book is not for you.The only good thing; it makes a great coaster.

Finally a book that takes real women into consideration and helps us use what we already have in our wardrobe to make ourselves look stylish. I love the photo's of the different model's and loved the styling. I never new I could do so many things with so few objects. An absolute must have for any fashion lover or aspiring fashion plate. Great Christmas gift and definately a timeless gift.

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force Special Edition Graphic Novel (Wildstorm Star Trek Comics, Special Edition Prestige format)
This issue contains two parts and is reviewed as such...STAR TREK: ELITE FORCEWritten by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force follows the action packed story of Voyager's elite Hazard Team as they battle the Borg and an unknown common enemy. Penciled by Jeffery Moy the scenes and character are some of the best drawings within the Wildstorm Comic series. The coloring has an almost fluid like feel that give the characters extreme depth that conveys emotion and suspense very well. The characters attitudes are spot on with the actors performances in the TV series and the story itself is very compelling.Full of suspense and action the story tells the tale of how Voyager's elite struggle against the Borg and losing members of the crew to assimilation. Packed with unending danger the characters are forced to reach deep and come up with the courage to battle a new evil enemy that threatens the entire galaxy.Anyone who is a fan of either the Borg or the Voyager team would do well to pick up this issue.STAR TREK: FALSE COLORSWritten by Nathan Archer Star Trek: False Colors attempts to build upon the conflict between the USS Voyager and the Borg. Many fans of the TV series are well aware of the history between the two enemies and the gains and loses by both sides. Seven of Nine is a gain for the Voyager family and as in the show this comic tries to expand on her torn feelings for her human family and that of the Borg collective. Although the penciling and inking done by Jeffery Moy and W.C. Carani respectively is good but not great the true faults with this issue lie in the story. The tale itself is inline with many told within the Voyager franchise but it doesn't really add anything to the Voyager Vs. Borg story arch and there is little in the way of depth that compels the reader to get emotionally involved.The scenes are very well done although there isn't much that makes the scene's pop from the pages. The characters are well drawn even if Tuvok's forehead is larger than the actors. Seven of Nine carries much of the story and the action is good but the story is pretty short. It would have been nice to get some history and more depth from the enemies. But all-in-all this issue is just OK, I say skip it.ALL FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED. THANKS AND GOOD READING.
