Island romance with a world-class, world-famous cad
As the basis of her second novel, Margaret Cezair-Thompson makes use of a little-known bit of 20th-century popular history as a fulcrum to jimmy her way into the intricate themes of race, color, politics, fame and class in her native Jamaica.
As a bonus, she also tells an entertaining and somewhat sudsy family romance without embarrassing herself as a semi-serious writer with semi-literary ambitions.
In a stage-setting author's note, Cezair-Thompson relates the true story of Errol Flynn, dashing bad-boy matinee idol, and his arrival in Jamaica in 1946 when his schooner, the Zaca, washed ashore during a hurricane. Beguiled by the beauty of the country's north coast, he bought a small island near Port Antonio and built a house there. No small part of Jamaica's allure for Flynn, however, came from his need to lie low while a scandal involving improprieties with an underage girl ran its course in the United States.
KROMA Makeup Founder - Lee Tillett is Making a Splash Around the Country
There is a newly discovered gem located in Florida and her name is Lee Tillett, makeup artist and founder of KROMA MAKEUP. Women have all kinds of skin, yet we all want our makeup to make us look as beautiful as the celebrities. I do admit I often frequent the department stores seeking out the latest colors and trends, but then when I bring the overpriced makeup home, I am disappointed with the results. One must realize that the sales women are simply trained to sell product, not a person who has devoted their adult life to skincare.
Then I read about Lee Tillett, located in the Orlando region of Florida. Her makeup seemed different than the mass produced commercial products I was using and spending lots of hard earned dollars to purchase. I wanted quality makeup that was good to my skin yet brought out the best I can look.
FIRST-PERSON (Phil Boatwright): Thanksgiving movie stuffing
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (BP)--Thanksgiving brings us a cornucopia of films aimed to occupy the time of bored kids out of school and parents who don't know how to fill vacation time. Here's what you can look forward to.
-- "Enchanted" (Rated PG for some scary images and mild innuendo). This newest release from Disney Studios puts a delightful spin on the happily-ever-after story, with the mean old queen casting the lovely princess into a portal that takes her to a decidedly non-fairytale world �- New York City. There she learns that life can be a bit messier than in Cartoonland. But she dispenses some lessons of her own, reminding her new acquaintances of the glories of whistling while you work and true love.
Disney's past glories are constantly being saluted with cameos and tips-of-the-hat, such as the appearances of Jodi Benson, the voice of "The Little Mermaid," appearing as the character Robert's assistant, Sam; and Paige O'Hara -- Belle of "Beauty and the Beast" -� portraying an actress on a soap opera.

A textbook case -- revisions in mainland literary selections cause a stir
Opening one of his four new Chinese literature textbooks, Gao Tian, 15, is feeling underwhelmed. The Grade One student from Beijing 156 Middle School is focused on his College Entrance Examination (CEE), and he quickly skims through it.
The first text is a prose piece in memory of an old friend by Lu Xun, arguably the most famous writer in modern Chinese literature. "It seems a little different from my older cousin's book," Tian said and put the books aside.
He is blissfully unaware, however, that the "little" difference he has noticed has triggered heated debate in mainland media. Critics were quick to fire off letters to the editor and post comments on the internet when changes in seven-year-old Chinese textbooks for Beijing Grade One senior middle schoolchildren were first reported.
