Tina Turner Live at the Verizon Center

ASSI - Tina live is one concert that I have always wanted to see; however, the tickets are expensive if you want a decent seat, but when I learned she was going on tour one last time the decision was made to have an experience of a lifetime regardless of the price, and what an experience it was. It was extremely disappointing when I was unable to secure tickets for the first show, I was at a training trying to purchase tickets using my iphone, the seats were selected, and the only thing left was to purchase the tickets. I placed the iphone on my lap to retrieve my credit card when the connection was lost, and by the time the training was over the tickets were sold out.

Another show was added and this time nothing was going to prevent me from purchasing tickets. What a show! Tina is a class act, she has truly learned that you hire the best people to ensure you will have a show that is absolutely wonderful, she look good, sound good, and gave an outstanding performance. Everything was top notch from the sound to the musicians, the saxophone player was great, and I pleasantly surprised to see Lisa Fisher who is the former back up singer for the late Luther Vandross and the Rolling Stones, she sang one song while Tina did a wardrobe change. There were Ninja guys who performed during one of her costume changes and the dancers also did dance routine during one of the changes. As previously stated Tina hired the best in the business to go on the road with her and when you are legendary it is imperative that you give your fans what their paying for a show well worth their hard earned money.

The concert was well thought out and put together from the moment she stepped on stage until she said thank you and good night. As I see it if you have an opportunity to see Tina Turner in concert you must take advantage and go even if you have to go alone seeing Tina is worth the money honey. The only thing that I disliked was the floor seats never again will I purchase floor seats unless they are within the first five rows from the stage otherwise the view is obstructed and not worth it.

Danger in Bangkok

ASSI – Nicolas Cage plays an assassin in the movie Bangkok Dangerous that is a remake of the Pang Brothers’ film with the same name debuted in 1999. Cage’s production company, Saturn Films purchased the remake rights and production began August 2006 in Bangkok. In the original film that Hit-Man is a deaf-mute but for marketability purposes the Pangs give Cage speaking parts and transform another character into the deaf-mute. The film “Bangkok Dangerous” will be available on DVD, January 2009. It is a fast paced film that captured and held my attention. The foreshadowing caused me to stay attentive. Cage is an unattached man, who is methodical and lives by four basic rules until he travels to Bangkok where he diverts from his usual order of business. “Bangkok Dangerous” was the number one movie when it was released on, September 5, 2008, but one of the lowest-grossing films to reach number one. As I see it, if you like questionable characters with a penchant for murder, you will like “Bangkok Dangerous” it is high energy film with enough excitement to hold your attention. I give “Bangkok Dangerous” 3.5 blinks.

Moving or Storing with a POD

ASSI - Storage made easy with the delivery of a POD that can be reserved on-line or over the phone. We are renovating our unit to rid it of hazardous lead; therefore, we had to move all of our belongings out. What an arduous task but the POD help ease the pain. No truck and storage place to rent. PODS delivered a 16ft portable storage POD on the specified date, we designated a location on the street in front of our building, purchased a permit from our local Department of Transportation to place the POD on the street, and scheduled a date for the POD to be picked up. As I see it, if and when you need to store items or if your moving a POD is the most convenient way of transporting items from one location to another, and the POD is stored in a climate controlled storage facility. I give PODS 3.5 blinks

Twice Daily Facial Cleanser

ASSI – In an effort to find a facial cleanser that my face is pleased with has been an arduous task, a search I will continue until I find the right cleanser and moisturizer for my skin type. Currently I am using Jason Fragrance Free Twice Daily Facial Cleanser that has the consistency of lotion, which concerned me, I am still look at the bottle to ensure it does not say facial moisture rise. It is lighter, foam free, and a little goes a long way. My face looks good, feels fresh, and I am hopeful that it is actually clean. Facial cleansers that lather make me feel like I am getting a deep cleansing. My local Whole Foods store was out of the Facial Moisturize; therefore, I am unable to report on it. The facial cleanser sales for $7.20 and I was told the moisturizer is the same price.

According to Sprig.com:
This gentle cleanser sweeps away makeup, dirt and oil without stripping skin of its natural oils. It's great for anyone with sensitive skin, or those who are just aiming to avoid fragranced-products.

Sprigs also make the following claim:
Jason's fragrance-free products are sulfate, paraben, and phthalate-free and are never tested on animals. They're also made with plenty of botanical extracts. As I see it without make-up to remove it seems to be doing the job; however, I wonder if it will remove all the make-up in one wash. I really feel like am applying lotion all over my face and rinsing it off. I give Jason Fragrance Fee Twice Daily Facial Moisturizer 3 blinks.
