Advantages: smells fantastic, great bottle design Disadvantages: may not be everyones cuppa tea
Like every other Christmas; this year I received lots of different perfumes from family and friends as gifts. As most people know I love my perfumes and have a very large collection of them which is forever growing. My favourite perfumes are those by Jean Paul Gaultier as they all have very sweet and feminine scents which seem to linger on my skin for hours upon end. One of the best things about the Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes is the packaging and bottle designs as they are really decorative and sometimes quite unusual compared to some of the other scents on the market. Knowing my love for Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes especially Classique; my husband treated me to a large bottle of my ultimate favourite Jean Paul Gaultier Classique as well as a large bottle of the newer fragrance which is Madame. Having never smelt Madame before I ...
Advantages: A great French classic Disadvantages: An unappealing heroine from my male viewpoint
Madame Bovary ? Gustave Flaubert
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Emma Bovary is bored. She?s bored with her humdrum life; married to a boring and mediocre doctor she lives under the burden that people judge her only relative to her husband and she struggles to find her own identity.

Madame Bovary was the first novel published by Gustave Flaubert and to say it caused something ...
Advantages: Great exhibitions/models Disadvantages: Expensive, Too crowded, Food prices
If you have read any of my other reviews you will understand that I have a great deal of affection for Merlin Entertainments (the company which owns Tussauds which owns Madame Tussauds, Alton Towers etc) and that on any given occasion I would much rather praise them then boot them into Oblivion (no pun intended.) Whilst Merlin is ownership to some of the most impressive tourist hot spots in the UK (the London Eye being one and Warwick Castle being another) some of their attractions are unfortunately a hit and miss affair. Whilst some (such as Alton Towers and Thorpe Park) take off like a sparrowhawk others (such as the lacklustre Legoland and Madame Tussauds) bomb and leave you feeling perhaps as cold as the weather in Blighty.
At £25 for adults and £21 for children (£85 for a family of 4) Madame Tussauds is pretty expensive, and so ...
Allegedly based on the true story of Madame Claude, the head of a high-priced French brothel, this is an international tale of erotica and intrigue.
