(I'm not thankful, either...) 『I must agree with Mr. Casey's review. I paid IMPORT (>$20.00) for this CD and was bitterly disappointed that the song "Be Thankful for what you got" was a remix - not the original product. Fortunately, I already had a copy of the original on a Various Artists' greatest hits CD. But still, I'm out $20+. So, beware and read this before you buy!!!! Three stars...』
(Be Thankful - but not for this remix) 『Bought for the wonderful "Be Thankful...." but I am not thankful for what I got. Didn't want a remix by someone called David Todd - I thought I was buying the original mix. No mention on the listing that this wasn't the orig. David, stick to the day job (unless that's remixing classics). Grrrrrrrrrrrr』
(Truly a classic!) 『This album is simply superb. William de Vaughn is a very underrated singer and deserves much more commercial success.
I'm still looking for a copy of his great 'Creme de Creme' track - WHEN will that be available on CD?!?』

I love the way the bass lines intermingle with the guitar and the drums pull you in, creating a sound that envelopes your entire being. The lyrics are thought provoking and sung in a kind whimsical tone with occasional eruptions of feeling. I love track 3 the smallest world in the world, the sounds that come out of the gutiar are unlike anything I have ever heard before, creating a beautiful image in your head. Track 6 starts off like a wave of sound. By chance I happened to see them play in Richmond, VA and I was instantly hooked. I bought the CD and have not stopped playing it yet. If you are looking for a new sound to carry you into the next level this is definatly it. Try it out I am sure you will love it just as much as I do.』

It's a great look at baseball past....however, I'm not old enough to know who a lot of the players are and it would have more enoyable had the producers added the names of the players.』
(Baseball history) 『This is the best of the thre series. It has great footage and insightful perspective on the early game. A must have!』
(baseball very very good to me) 『It's a must. great piece of work. Home videos are the worlds best as for true americana』
(What a marvelous way...) 『to make money off of 8mm home movie films!
You know, back in the day people used to laugh at how bad home movies were. And they really were pretty bad. Well, these home movies really aren't much better. And the total package is really raunchy.
It's sorta neat to see some of the old ballparks and players. For about five minutes. Then the narrator starts to become mega-annoying, and you're wondering just where the heck this stuff is happening and who these people dressed in uniforms are and just why am I being shown poorly-framed movies of a paunchy guy on a fishing boat?
It's a surreal experience. If you can accept its surreality and just go with the flow, you might manage to find some sort of enjoyment here. Otherwise... don't bother.』
(Wow. Color film footage of Lou Gehrig and much, much more) 『"When It Was a Game"is composed entirely of 8mm and 16mm home movie footage that was taken by players and fans between 1934 and 1957. What this means for every baseball fan who has seen nothing but black&white newsreel footage of the good old days is the opportunity to see great players and the old ballparks where they played in living color. As soon as your see Lou Gehrig in color your heart just about skips a beat. Every spring right before Opening Day I watch the Ken Burns 9-inning documentary on"Baseball,"and once it gets up to the Sixties and we start seeing things in color, the whole thing loses some of its charm for me because I am so used to seeing old footage and photographs in black&white. That makes the nostalgic images in"What It Was a Game"so astounding.
The only thing I can come up with to compare this documentary to wuld be the 1953 Bowman baseball cards. That was the year Bowman went to photographs, with 64 black&white 2 1/2"x 3 3/4"cards and 160 in color. These remain some of the most beautiful baseball cards ever made, particularly card #32 of the St. Louis Cardinals' Stan"The Man"Musial. When we see footage of Musial in this documentary, his uniform a beautiful combination of black and red, this is just something transcendent about that image. Even when these are just home movies taken before a game, seeing Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, Bill Dickey, Carl Hubbell, Robin Roberts, and Jackie Robinson in color is just so captivating. Even shadowy footage of Satchel Paige in the major leagues at last is memorable. Then there are the shots of some of the living Hall of Famers such as Honus Wagner and Cy Young, including film of the greatest outfielders of the first half century: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and Tris Speaker. I have seen black&white photographs of their joint appearance, Ruth ill and not wearing a uniform, but this is in color and the pictures are in motion.
The producers have to come up with something for somebody to say while we watch these fascinating images, and there is a mixture of recollections from former players, poetic observations from sportswriters, and some actual commentary on what we are seeing (I have reason to suspect that some of this is leftover audio from Burns's "Baseball" since they are the same voices). But you will probably have to watch this 57-minute documentary a couple of times to catch everything that is being said because a real baseball fan is just going to lose themselves in these pictures. Players are often identified, which is good because since they are not in black&white some of them are actually hard to recognize. But in terms of the most shocking images that would have to be reserved for the section on the old ballparks where we see Chicago's Wrigley Field when the outfield wall was not covered with ivy and there were no bleachers for the fans. If that does not give you a sense they we have gone back into the distant past when baseball was a game, nothing will.』
『The HBO documentaryWhen It Was a Game(slightly shortened on DVD from the two-part VHS release) is based on a highly original idea: tell the story of baseball from the Great Depression era through the late 1950s using footage from home-movie cameras shot by fans and players. The result is a marvelous retelling of baseball in America as seen from the ground--the culture of stadiums, the ritual of afternoon games, the spiritually sustaining rivalries. Somewhat enthralled by the images at its disposal, the film has a way of almost stepping back from itself, waxing poetic at a sighting of the St. Louis Cardinals' "Gashouse Gang," or a glimpse of Bogart and Bacall in the stands, or the legendary contests between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Among the truly unexpected sights is color footage of the 1938 World Series (Cubs versus Yanks), not only from inside the stadium walls but from the street as traffic cops, crowds, and vehicles amassed. Of course, there are the heroes, too, often caught in relaxed, unselfconscious moments through the lens of a teammate or a true believer in the bleachers. A great experience all around.
Arguably more defined and even more lyrical than its predecessor, the second installment ofWhen It Was a Gamemoves from a general celebration of baseball culture in America to a specific focus on various facets of the game's history. Once again using footage compiled from the 8mm and 16mm collections that players and fans shot over decades, this sequel follows, among other things, the special relationship between game announcers and fans and takes a fascinating trip through the story of the farm-team system during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s (particularly the near-alternate world of the Coast League). The working-class commonality of players and fans is examined, too. Imagine taking the subway home from Ebbets Field and finding yourself looking back on the day's game with a Dodger outfielder. (It could, and often did, happen.) Brooklyn's assimilation of the Dodgers into their community identity, a story often told, is covered quite winningly here, as is the heartbreak of the team's desertion to sunny California. Closing in on its final minutes, the film takes us on a tour of some of the game's legends and presents a touching tribute to the extraordinary Babe Ruth.--Tom Keogh』
『These are the greats of baseball history, legends in their lifetime legends today. It's baseball as you've never seen it before the way you always imagined the way it was. When It Was a Game is composed entirely of 8 and 16 mm home movie footage taken by fans and the players themselves between 1934 and 1957. For the first time, star players and their stadiums step out of the black and white newsreel footage, and appear in living, breathing color. Players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio. Ballparks like Ebbets Field, Briggs Stadium, Crosley Field and Griffith Stadium. As time passed, baseball changed, some of the clubs, the parks, the players are no longer with us. But their memory is and the magic of those memories is brought vividly to life, in When It Was a Game.』

The time frame for these collected home movies from players and fans on 8mm and 16mm film is a bit broader this time around, going back to 1925 and forward to 1961, which means the oldest shots are actually in black&white and seem rather out of place, because once again the thrill here is seeing players and ballparks in glorious color. There is Hank Aaron wearing the great looking uniform of the Boston Braves, old Crosley Field in its green splendor, and Babe Ruth making his final appearance in a Yankee uniform at the Stadium. There is a bit more effort this time to have the disembodied voices talking about subjects that sort of match up to the images on the screen, such as Joe Garagiola talking about graffiti on an outfield billboard, Enos Slaughter explaining why he always ran on and off the field, and the story of catcher Moe Berg being a government spy while barnstorming with Connie Mack in Japan. There is a nice section on what lfie was like the Pacific Coast League when major league baseball did not exist west of St. Louis.
But whether you actually listen to what is being said or tune it out will not affect your enjoyment of these nostalgic images. At the end of these hour-long HBO documentaries, when they simply show shots of various ballplayers and superimpose their names, that is the essence of what makes "When It Was a Game" so special. There is Jackie Robinson in color, Hank Greenberg in color, Mel Ott in color, and so on and so forth. Even when it is someone we are used to see in color, such as Yogi Berra or Willie Mays, we are still talking a young Yogi and a young "Say Hey" Kid. A lot of the action is off field-baseball players in Spring Training wearing bathing suits and cleats, Yogi and some other Yankees sticking out their tongues for the camera, the Chicago Cubs in a parade before the start of a World Series game-but that does not detract from our enjoyment of these simple film clips spliced together.』
(moving documentary) 『All 3 WIWAG are excellent. This is more than just a well put together documentary. Its very moving because of the footage, narration and music. You don't feel like you are watching a DVD about baseball. It feels like you are watching a snapshot of Americana from the 50's and 60's. After watching this, you wish that things today were as they were back in those days. Not just baseball or sports, but life in general as it was protrayed in the DVDs.』
(The best baseball movie of all time.) 『This is no Hollywood baseball movie. This is the real deal. Exquisite colors and poetic comments from those who played baseball the way it should be played- as a game.』 『Arguably more defined and even more lyrical than its predecessor (When It Was a Game), this HBO documentary moves from a general celebration of baseball culture in America to a specific focus on various facets of the game's history. Once again using footage compiled from the 8mm and 16mm collections that players and fans shot over decades, this sequel follows, among other things, the special relationship between game announcers and fans and takes a fascinating trip through the story of the farm-team system during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s (particularly the near-alternate world of the Coast League). There's also an enlightening sidebar about the old disparity of capital and profits among major-league teams (as opposed to the contemporary disparity), and about how each season's funding shortages took a toll on such lowly outfits as the Boston Braves and the St. Louis Browns. The working-class commonality of players and fans is examined, too: imagine taking the subway home from Ebbets Field and finding yourself looking back on the day's game with a Dodger outfielder. (It could, and often did, happen.)

See Joe DiMaggio and Ty Cobb, Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron and Satchel Paige, Willie Mays and unique footage of the great Babe Ruth, along with rare scenes of the young Chuck Conners and Tommy Lasorda in the Minor Leagues. These are the players - theirs is the game - that won the hearts of America. Now you can see them as never before in original film footage that will transport you to a time gone by.

(Fun to watch our hometown movie) 『'Twas fun watching my hometown movie. Didn't know a movie was ever shot in Cass City, Michigan, how come we weren't told about this before? Very cool.』 『In 1964 two high school friends, Brice (Bruce Campbell) and Cleveland (Christopher Howe) leave their suburban neighborhood in Michigan to spend the summer in the countryside before going off to college. They are befriended by a lonely farmer, Jack Bodell (Perry Mallette), who offers them a place to stay. As days pass, Cleveland helps Jack around the farm and finds in him the father figure he lacks, while Brice falls in love with a local girl named Cindy. The unforgettable summer ends too soon, but the memories linger. Four years later Brice and Cleveland drive up to Jack's farm and learn that there is no going back.....
In this, his dramatic debut, Bruce Campbell, who is well-known for his horror and comedy roles, shows a depth and sensitivity that compliments his wry wit.』

(Interesting perspective) 『I actually didn't think this was really a book about the artist's method, despite what he might say - I think he was trying to show that to accurately portray the OUTSIDE of the human body, or ANY living thing, we've got to know what's going on INSIDE, and this was his way of learning the human body from the inside out. I'm more inclined to think that he uses fills like many of us do, because if he tries to fire that sucker, it's going to blow up in the kiln. If he's going to do a mold, he's got the undercut issue to deal with. What he probably does with THESE clay sculptures is what artists do so often that the rest of the world can't imagine - he puts it back in the slip bucket and recycles it!』
(Two lessons in one) 『This excellent book teaches you accurate anatomy at the same time as providing quality instruction on figure sculpting.』
(Good learning material, full with details) 『I am an artist who love to make detailed art work in my drawing and sculpture. I love art, but it cannot become my life career. While unable to attend any art class but despreately want to learn I look in to books for answers. And I found this book. I find my answers to the detail I'm looking for in this book. The book shows you how the artist create a female body sculpture starting from bone to muscle, and from muscle to skin. This book is a good resource to me. As my own Christmas presents I bought it.』
(Pretty darn good) 『This book is more helpful than Lucchesi's other guides. There is a lot of practicle info here which will help you get familiar with figure sculpting. I would say that this book as actually about as helpful as taking a beginning figure sculpture class, and the techniques are very solid. I am actually a pretty tough critic, and a 4 star review for an art instruction book coming from me is pretty rare (check out my other reviews for art books if you don't believe me).』 『Master sculptor Bruno Lucchesi invites you on a guided tour of the human form.

It is not going to deliver step-by-step instructions for duplicating a certain image. It is, essentially, a gallery of line work alongside a commentary to help break down the artist's vision into a procedure you will be able to apply in your own work and your own style, whatever that may be. You don't have to draw like Hogarth or even care for his style to find value in his thought process, which is really what this book is intended to teach.
And yes, clothes really are that wrinkly. Here, Hogarth works with line weight and crosshatching, which doesn't lend itself to subtlety. If you traced every wrinkle from a photograph, you'd end up with about the same effect. Most line drawings deliberately leave out the finer details, but here they are included to instruct.
Hogarth presents a process and examples of its use. It's up to you to turn it into art.』
(Not so good) 『I have owned this book for years. . .not sure why I have kept it because every time I pull it out I am disappointed. The wrinkles are over exaggerated as are the figures themselves. Perhaps that is the point, but I don't get it. Not a good book for me.』
(Great Book by Hogarth, Just Not Great for Art Instruction) 『I'd long realized I needed some help with wrinkles. If you've got a model then everything's easy, but if you're doing a bunch of drawings and can't spare time to research each figure, as when doing comics, or when doing an action figure it helps to know what you're doing. I'd always felt this was a personal weakness, and had been looking for a book on this topic for a long time. Then this book appeared. As far as I know, this is still pretty much it. I'm a big fan of Hogarth's contributions to popular culture, so I'm happy just to have a book of his work (I think I have them all). But this book is minimally useful for its stated purpose. I confess I haven't read it in much detail, so I can't blame it on Hogarth's writing. But this book seems to me to be more theoretical than practical. I hope some one will someday produce a book with series of figures in a variety of actions. Such books exist, though usually the model is nude. In the one exception I've found some genius has decided to "improve" the black and white photos by colorizing them, almost completely obscuring the wrinkles.
So, I can't recommend this book solely for its art instruction. I WILL recommend as being the work of one of this country's great comics pioneers.
~ John Mayer』
(Classic reference source for depicting the Clothed Figure) 『Although Burne Hogarth's drawing style is very mid-20th Century, his basic "rules of the wrinkles" are absolutely timeless. I recommend it as an excellent source for developing a mastery of how fabric reacts to the movement and form of the human body. As a professional artist-illustrator-writer, I have found this book to be a matchless reference in developing drawing skills. I recommend it to figurative and narrative painters, as it has been an enormous help to me in my creative work.』
(Great resource for artists, illustrator, sculptors) 『I purchased this book to get an idea of how to sculpt realistic wrinkles on 3D clothing using software like Mudbox and ZBrush. Some of the illustrations show rather exaggerated wrinkling to get the point across, but I think that if you use this book along with photo reference of actual wrinkling, you can achieve very realistic effects. Copiously illustrated, great tips, high quality paper and reproduction. Often available at a reasonable price on the used market, a valuable addition to to the library of any artist who has to portray realistic clothing on the human figure.』 『Understanding how the body moves is the key to rendering clothing, as world-renowned artist Hogarth demonstrates in this unique book.』

If you fancy yourself a writer, you need this. Get it. Now. The book is well-organized, easily acccessible, loaded with great quotes, and a treasure trove of unique terms and devices. Some of these you've no doubt used and will be happy to hear these labeled and defined. Others will be new to you but will certainly be of use to you in the future. Chiasmus, anyone? This was assigned as a textbook for Jerome Shea's classical tropes class at the University of New Mexico, but I would never even consider selling this back at the end of the year. Having been introduced to this, I can no more imagine my writing den without it than I can imagine it without a dictionary or a thesaurus or a hidden drawer full of treats.』
(It's Just Fun!) 『Over the Christmas holidays, I traveled back east to visit my parents. I carried Lanham's"A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms."One night my mom and I sat up talking about everything from Picasso to metaphysics and at some point we got to talking about Shakespeare. I tried to explain to her why Shakespeare is rhetorically reveered, and at one point I climbed downstairs to the guest room and retrieved Lanham's book. She -- like most of us -- hears the word"rhetoric"and thinks of politicians and empty promises, or phrasing so complicated as to render simple fact obscure.
I think the first word in"Handlist"we got a chuckle over was"chiasmus"and some of the examples like"It's not whether grapenuts are good enough for you, but whether you're good enough for grapenuts!"And the famous"When the going gets tough, the tough get going."The one that gave her the best chuckle though was an editor's advice to a young writer"You're writing is both original and interesting; unfortunately the part that's original is not interesting and the part that is interesting is not original."
The great thing about this book is that it gives name to a great many devices we already use in everyday speech, and for a writer this information is invaluable. The better facility a writer has with these devices the better he or she can express our endless human emotions.
A good many of the examples give the Latin or Greek root word, but the definitions are in English. Many of them have example usage along with the definition.
E.g.,"Insultatio": derisive, ironical abuse of a person to his face. As Hamlet says to his mother: Look on this picture, and on this, The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. See what a grace was seated on this brow: Hyperion's curls, the front of Jove himself... This was your husband. Look you now what follows. Here is your husband, like a mildewed ear Blasting the wholesome brother. Have you eyes? Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, And batten on this moor? Ha! Have you eyes? (Hamlett, III, iv)
All in all, I think this handlist -- as much a dictionary as a"handlist"of rhetorical devices -- is a rich resource for writers, law students, political science majors, and young English scholars. Indeed, with this handlist, you could begin your own"Progymnasmata"!
Stacey』
(A Wordsmith's Wonderland) 『Samuel Butler once wrote that"All a rhetorician's rules teach nothing but to name his tools."Classical and Medieval rhetoricians named, renamed, parsed, and cataloged all these tools with a bewildering sesquipedalian nomenclature."Handlist"almost succeeds in its attempt to make sense of this thorny thicket of jargon.
Chapter 1 of"Handlist"is a dictionary style listing of all the various names of the rhetorical devices. Each name is individually entered, but only the main name is defined. Each of the lesser names simply has cross references. The merely-cross-referenced names outnumber the actually-defined names by about 3 to 1. The actually-defined names should have been set in a bolder type than the merely-cross-referenced names.
Chapter 2 consists of an excellent review of the divisions of rhetoric. Read Chapter 2 first.
Chapter 3 takes the more common rhetorical devices and catalogs them by type, giving brief definitions. It catalogs only one name for each device, and is much more user friendly than Chapter 1. Read Chapter 3 second.
My suggestion for the third edition: Reorder the chapters. Put Chapter 2 first and Chapter 1 last.』
(poorly organized) 『The problem that I have with this book is that often the words that it defines tells me to go look up another fine. That would be fine, except that I go to the word it said to look up and discover that I either have to look up another word. This book is not helpful in that respect, and given that a lot of PCs run Windows, it doesn't really make sense to release a hypertext version for the Mac but not one for Windows. So the Windows users are stuck with a book that really isn't that good.』
(Enquire Within Upon Everything) 『It's hard to describe how valuable this book is. Simply put, it changed my life. The title is both perfect and a little misleading: yes, it's a handlist, but that gives little sense of the breadth and scholarship of Lanham's work. Yes, you'll find incredibly useful definitions of the most recondite, as well as the most everyday, tropes and schemes. But embedded within his exposition Lanham gives us an argument for rhetoric: its complexity, historical richness, and value. Lanham's touch is very personal, offering a collection of definitions that are at once eclectic and definitive. If you need to buy one book on rhetoric, this should be it. If it intrigues you as much as it did me, follow up with Lanham's _The Electronic Word: Democracy, Technology, and the Arts_. There you'll see the very practical implications of the study of rhetoric framed through historical and theoretical debates. Two thumbs up.』 『The first edition of this widely used work has been reprinted many times over two decades. With a unique combination of alphabetical and descriptive lists, it provides in one convenient, accessible volume all the rhetorical termsmostly Greek and Latinthat students of Western literature and rhetoric are likely to come across in their reading or to find useful in their writing. Now the Second Edition offers new features that will make it still more useful:A completely revised alphabetical listing that defines nearly 1,000 terms used by scholars of formal rhetoric from classical Greece to the present day.A revised system of cross-references between terms.Many new examples and new, extended entries for central terms.A revised Terms-by-Type listing to identify unknown terms.A new typographical design for easier access.』

Tying a knot is less hassle and immeasurably more reliable. Comes with a nice piece of rope though.』
(It works!) 『I bought this with some trepidation. I have a 60lbs hang glider that I need to secure to the roof of my car to tow up the side of a mountain. The thought of losing thousands of dollars due to one bad bounce had me scared but these things work and save a lot of time previously spent tying and untying knots.』
(Best Idea Since The Paper Clip) 『When used the way it is intended this is great. A flopping tarp in the wind may not be the best test. I use them to tie down items in my truck that don't flop like bikes, lumber, coolers and just about everything else that goes in my truck. They are fast, easy to tighten and something I will buy more of.』
(JUNK. Comes loose anytime the line goes slack in puffy wind.) 『We used these to secure and adjust a light tarp for shade on a windy day. Pretty nifty until the wind started puffing. Whenever the wind made the tarp flop, the line went slack (of course), and the loop came off the device. Whoever thought this idea up never used it in windy conditions.
I am going to go back to using Taut-Ties or the old-fashioned metal or wood strip with three holes. This is overpriced junk.
They are rated with a limit of 50 lbs. This is way less than the strength of the 3/16 braided line that we used.』 『Easy to use safe. No knots, pull it tight and keep it tight. Excellent alternative to stretch cords and cam tensioning devices. Quickly secure most loads. Works 2 ways loop system and or fixed end. Made of strong aluminum. Sold individually and with』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Careful....) 『The figure is highly detailed. My only caution to buyers is when moving the arms. The way that Jack's jacket is designed, moving the figure's arms places pressure on the plastic joints and care must be used or the arms will break off. The plastic joints are not very strong. I say this from experience, both of Jack's arms broke within the day and I've since superglued them in place......』
(breaks) 『the day i got it both arms fell off』
(Arrrrr Matey...it be Jack Sparrow!) 『This figure does resemble Johnny Depp quite a lot! That Jack Sparrow "look" we all love from the movies is all here in this delightful figurine from Neca. He comes with a base you can stand him on (or stick his feet into, rather, which will make it easier to stand him up) and that base then becomes a piece of a "puzzle" which fits together with other character figure's bases. I do not own any of the other figurines from the movie, but the picture on the back of box illustrates how it all fits together and its really a nice display.
He does come with a hat, a pistol, a rum bottle, and a sword. Please note that these small items are removable and may not be suitable for very small children since they could present a choking hazard. That aside, you could put those loose items away and simply have a nice figure of Jack Sparrow to put up on the shelf or reenact battle scenes with. He stands about 6 inches (or so) tall and has movable arms, legs, and head. His hands are shaped to fit either the pistol or sword...and the rum bottle as well. The tri-cornered hat also fits nicely on his head and does not fall off. Its really quite cute.
I collect movie figurines and find this one to be pretty much top of the line in detail, color, and realism. There are plenty of "Pirates" movie figures out there on the market, but after some research I found this one to be the most practical and best-looking. 』 『POTC Dead Man's Chest Jack Sparrow Can you really trust a wanted man?

My daughter loves it and loves that it is a Cardinals toy. This is the smaller potato, like the mini Mr. Potatohead toys, and the other mini pieces fit this one. However, the pieces to this one are much harder to get out, so little kids need help from adults when they want to change them. Other than that, it's a fun toy and definitely cute!』
(Many generational Cardinal fans) 『I purchased several of these to give to my 77 year old mother who is an avid Cardinal fan, my two year old twin granddaughters, and of course one for myself. The girls loved the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads, and played with them for a long time for a two year old. The body doesn't open up like regular potato head play people, so the body parts can't be stored inside the "spud".
The seller was very punctual and informative with the transaction.』 『This fun toy can be dressed up to be a fan or mascot of your favorite team. Comes complete with multiple pieces to change his look regularly.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (pretty good) 『These are fairly warm, but not as warm as the really thick tights I used to be able to find many years ago. They ARE very durable.』 『Heavyweight microfiber skating tights. Best suited for ice figure skating. Danskin tights are softer and more durable than other brands, and very well priced.Final sale.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (best shapewear i have ever owned) 『This firm control thong is fantastic! I have owned one for over five years and I still wear it. Its design creates the best result for an improved female form that I have ever worn. Because it's a high waist thong and the waist band sits above the hip bones, there is a two way stretch that performs two jobs for you. 1. The high waist band lifts your stomach in and up, and 2. the weight of your stomach pulls the waist in and makes it smaller. Equally fantastic is that because of the thong back, it does not flatten your butt like a whole girdle. This shapewear piece gives a woman what she desires most...a flatter stomach, a smaller waist and a full butt. It rocks!』
(Great Waist Shaper) 『I like this girdle. I instantly got a waist! It's firm and holds my tummy and back fat leaving no visible rolls. It doesn't show underneath clothes either. The only drawback for me is it's a little uncomfortable after an hour. It's stiff.』
(product review) 『product fine; size should have been one larger as item is uncomfortable when used or worn for any length of time』
(Durable and Flattering) 『Great product. It sucks it in for you and flatters in all the right places. A must buy!』 『Rago's Waist cincher with thong back provides minimal coverage but great control by shaping the waist with a powerful side bands. The design offers an easy, slip-on fit.』
