Rated 3 out of 5 by docdoc Just uncomfortable Great location for Waikiki, but this was the single most uncomfortable hotel room in memory for this frequent traveler. No desk, not one comfortable chair, and poor pillows, with an A/C system that could not keep the room cool in October in Hawaii--all just unacceptable. Food was good, but restaurant service, especially in Kai Market, was just really poor and inattentive. Great lobby--but rooms are not Starwood quality, so do not expect it! October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stef3791 First, but not last visit to the Sheraton Waikiki I recently returned from my first trip to Hawaii and the Sheraton Waikiki. I was in Hawaii for a conference, but was able to steal some time for fun. The Sheraton fulfilled my expectations and then some. My room was clean and spacious. 24-hour access to the gym was much appreciated for a working trip. The property was gorgeous. I loved the view leading to the infinity pool and beach. The convenience store had everything I needed to make my stay complete. Around the property were plenty of places to eat and shop. For a large hotel, it didn't feel overwhelming. When I come back to Hawaii, I'm definitely staying at the Sheraton Waikiki. August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MRSKKB fabulous,except for the smoking!! This hotel is FABULOUS!, expecially the views. Unfortunatley, we couldn't enjoy our balcony overlooking Waikiki beach due to a guest that constantly smoked next to us, even on our NON-SMOKING floor. We notified the lobby, but this guest just smoked the entire time. October 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by weddingbride service was not great I booked my room under Star Friends & Family which was over $200.00 per night. When I booked my room I included that purpose of our stay was for our wedding and honeymoon. When I checked into the room I found that the room comes with 2 double beds. A young Korean Bellman was kind enough to suggest us to call Front Desk to see if any rooms with 1 king is available so that he can bring us to another room. When my husband called F/D he was told that we need to follow up again next day to see availability since there was nothing available at that time. Since we needed to get a ticket for car parking we stopped by at the Front Desk. A middle aged oriental gentleman asked me how my stay was so I told him the situation. His response was " Since you are paying the employee rate which is lower than other guests you will get whatever we have" knowing that it was our honeymoon. He added that "We never guarantee our bed type anyway". Prior to my current position at non Starwood property I was a sales manager at one of the Starwood properties in Canada. I know the price difference between Star Hot Rate and Star F&F Rate. I was not paying for an employee rate but he referred me that I do not get what I want since I am paying an employee rate which should be half of what I paid per night. I did not like the way how he explained the situation. I stayed at Moana Surfrider prior to your hotel. Service at Moana was outstanding compare to your hotel. November 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Brook10 Bait and Switch We had confirmation of an "Ocean View Room" but upon arrival there were none available. We instead got a "City View" room on the 14th floor. Over looked the parking garage and a busy street. When we checked in the clerk said there were no ocean view rooms and I showed her my confirmation. She took it to discuss with someone else and came back in 15-20 minutes or so and said the same thing, no ocean view room and they would contact me when one became available. This didn't happen either and no one called to say what the problem was. Very disappointed. I would have chosen a different hotel had I know this when the reservations were being made in August. We were awoken each morning at 6:30 by the trash trucks making all kinds of noise even though we were on the 14th floor. Being a Starwood member meant nothing to the Hotel. The Confirmation meant nothing. Very disappointed by the experience and the facility. November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dan63 First Class.... Except For Rum Fire The hotel and the staff are first class, I would especially like to acknowledge the security staff on the night of 1.14.14, for bringing up to our room a lost pair of sunglasses. I would like to point out the rude staff at Rum Fire, to the staff at Rum Fire, here is a tip, cater to the 40 somethings when they are at the bar waiting for a drink, you might do yourself some economic good. Also drop the attitude when a customer is cashing in a free drink coupon, instead of throwing the "free" drink menu at the customer, take your complaints to management about offering the free drinks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGfollower A Great Place To Stay.. I have stayed at this hotel many times and love it!! Travelling as much as I do, I need to stay in a hotel with a 'home away from home' feel and this is it! The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The rooms are comfortable with great views and the Club Lounge is fantastic!! I stay for work and the Bar does play loud music on certain nights but you just need to 'go with it'..vacationers are just having fun! Ear Plugs would be good to take along! Thank You Sheraton for another great stay!! November 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SDTom Disappointing The property has a nice location, but the rooms are very spartan and tired looking. Certainly not the same as the pictures on the website. Also, I used Starwood points, which in theory "reward" frequent Starwood guests. Instead my "city view" room was overlooking their parking garage. One of the worst rooms and views I have ever had at a hotel. When I asked to be moved (I had a morning check in), the "friendly" staff insisted they had no other rooms available. Very disappointed in Starwood as well as this property. Next trip, I'll definitely be staying elsewhere. March 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimtraveller Another wonderful stay (Nay 16-18) I stayed at this hotel with my dad for our visit in Honolulu. We got upgraded to a wonderful ocean front king-bedroom. The view was breath-taking and very private on our balcony. We enjoyed the club lounge very much, Great food, wonderful staff, spacious, and with a amazing view at Waikiki Beach and the Diamond Head. The evening lounge hours were really good, 4-8pm, very considerate about potential time differences for the visiting guests. We got a 2pm late check out, which works out for us for our evening flight. Highly recommend! June 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Waikiki1 Great position, front desk assistance needs improvement 1. Front desk assistance poor during Hurricane Ana - no umbrellas or rain coats available and, the general lack of care and interest - poor attitude towards clients 2. Air conditioner in room poor 3. Room was tired 4. Expect more than just a buffet for the specialty evening dining facility at the hotel November 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Microsoft Trird favorite in WORLD Location, location, location.Great view and staff but HAVE to get to Hana Hana Lounge on 30th floor. . My 3rd choice in THE WORLD November 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BetsyPG1 Fabulous staff and service, amazing to Platinum guests! This is my favorite Starwood property because of the stellar staff, amazing service and how well I'm treated as a Platinum member. The Club Lounge is incredible, and the management and staff there is superb. They go above and beyond every day. I love being able to give an "award" to my favorite staff member, and I think the management is doing things right by recognizing and rewarding excellent service. I wish all Starwood properties did that! I pay more to stay at this property because it's worth it. February 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RafKam Great Stay We had a very good stay here overall, despite some initial aprehension. Check-in was a bit erratic as there was a line of guests waiting at 11pm but only 2 front desk agents, but that's probably my only complaint. Received a lovely upgrade to a Pualani Suite, which was massive and much appreciated. Location is probably the best in Waikiki, there's convenient parking, shopping mall and expensive stores, as well as convenient shops in the lobby area. The infinity pool is great, and you could always get a decent spot. The Club Lounge was great: without a doubt the best I've seen anywhere in the Americas, with a great breakfast spread, and great evening drinks and snacks. Dare I say, for a family it could even make sense to pay for Club Lounge access. Would stay again on a future trip to Oahu. June 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by VeryGoodPointsStacey View, view, view and then some more views I had a great experience at the Sheraton Waikiki. As a platinum member I was upgraded to a huge suite. I had window with views of diamond head and the ocean. Spectacular views. Was incredibly impressed with everything done for platinums. The welcome "gift" was amazing and probably the best welcome gift I've ever received. The wifi is the best wifi I've ever had at a hotel. It really spoiled. The hotel is clean, well maintained and in the heart of Waikiki. I would highly recommend it. December 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by dino95 Honolulu Escape The infinity pool is amazing, sipping cocktails on a pool beanbag soaking up the rays and relaxing is the hotels greatest attraction and with good reason. Everyday is a scramble to get the "good" banana chairs bu if you don't get the good chairs don't fret there are really no bad chairs in this area. Most tours we did started at this hotel and was a great advantage especially if you are only hear for a short time. The other pools are also great too and all the kids looked to have a spectacular time on the slide into the pools. The hotel has a great location away enough from the real hussle and bustle of the of the main strip and yet close enough to walk down enjoy the main strip and return to a relaxing evening away from the hustle and bustle. The great location allows you to enjoy the hotel pools and facilities or a short walk to enjoy the sands under your feet and take in the rays or enjoy beach sports on the sandy beach. The entrance to the hotel is grand and spectacular but as we went to our room the rest of the hotel looked at little out dated and not as spectacular as the entrance and foyer. Maybe my expectation was too high as we were on our honeymoon and having come from New York's Westin and the Belagio in Las Vegas I was a little dissapointed that the hotel room was not as good as my previous stays in hotels. The hotel staff were very helpful friendly and attended to our needs. Everytime we needed something they never hesitated to help. Booking all our tours for a 10 day stay in and effortless 20 minutes was great. October 23, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by AngnTroy12 Went for Paradise and found Heaven Truly an amazing hotel. My husband and I went to spend my birthday and our anniversary. We loved it. The pools, the room, the view, the food...everything was just amazing. We felt like we were at home. We came home wondering how long it would take us to financially afford bringing our kids back with us. :-) The activities at the hotel were awesome. I cant say enough great things. Centrally located with amazing views. Muhalo Sheraton Waikiki we love you!!! April 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jamalamy Outstanding service Today will be our last night of 11 at the Sheraton Waikiki and although we are not big fans of Honolulu, we will miss the exceptional service provided at this resort. Dayna at the front desk accommodated our request and even exceeded our expectations! Brett at the pool, took excellent care of my wife during our stay. The hostesses in the club lounge were also outstanding as was the view from there! Housekeeping was efficient and friendly. As an ambassador platinum member, I have stayed in a lot of Starwood properties worldwide and the staff at this Sheraton really set the standard for customer service! October 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by connie334 Clean and renovated hotel however customer service is lacking i was fairly happy with my stay here in late august 2011. The room was clean and newly renovated. However I cannot give five stars to this hotel. I stayed in a mountain view but wished for a partial ocean view. I wanted more of a breeze because all i smelled from my balcony was cigarette smoke. I Wouldn't allow my toddller on the balcony because of this. I was told that I could use my star points to upgrade my room upon checking in if available. I asked every day if a room was available and the answer was always no. My stay was for five nights. The front desk did not even look in the system or anything, just no and not nicely either. More like annoyed. I dont understand why no rooms were available because when I checked on the spg website there were plenty. When I asked about that she cut me off and repeated her no. Regardless, I am planning to stay here again in April 2012. February 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KristiG I Love The Sheraton Waikiki The Sheraton Waikiki is a fantastic resort with great amenities. The infinity pool is the best pool on the island. The pool staff is incredible, making sure you have everything you need. Thank you Logan, Fillipo and Cody. You guys are the best. The Beach Center at the Sheraton has everything you need for your day on the beach. Thank you Jeff for your hospitality and kindness. Can't wait till the next visit. June 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by History28 A Surprisingly Comfortable Stay After reading several reviews complaining about low platinum recognition, I was prepared to be downgraded in a large resort hotel. On the contrary, I found this hotel to be outstanding, and even the reception agent was able to find a room for an early check-in. Yes, it was on the 8th floor, but so what----this hotel is about doing everything you can to enjoy the benefits of the resort which means not staying in your room. With access to the Club Lounge which was absolutely delightful, there was a solid breakfast offering and afternoon snacks. The staff in the Lounge were also quite helpful and pleasant. Yes, there is a resort fee as with almost all resort hotels, yet I chose not to take the hotel points amenity and upgraded to complimentary valet parking. And that was a very wise choice as the valet attendants are also very efficient and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful week in Oahu. January 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by USC2012 Great location, rooms are bad This Sheraton has two things going for it. The location and the pool. I have been staying at this hotel for 40 years. It has always been my favorite in Waikiki, but my family has said no more. We had a leaking air conditioner that got the floor all wet and we had that musty wet carpet smell for a week. There is no chair in the room to sit down and even put your shoes on. No desk to work at. Not even a mirror other than in the bathroom. No drawers to put your clothes in. There are a few shelves in the closet. The bathrooms are basic. I have stayed at a lot of Sheraton's and this rates among the worst I am sorry to say. I will always remember being in the lobby of this hotel the day Elvis died. January 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Hiko Though the SPG APP Showed Availability I joined a tour from Japan and stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki. Although the SPG APP showed the availability of large ocean front rooms or suites and we fully recognize tour stay is not applicable for SPG Platinum benefit, the receptionist refused to upgrade with room charge difference payment. Also the building is too old so that the noise from isle or rooms next door sounds terrible. June 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by adamDW Paradise in Hawaii! When I was planning my trip to Honolulu for work, I was looking for a convenient location and a nice property at a good rate. The Sheraton Waikiki met and exceeded my expectations. The staff were so helpful (especially Alice at the concierge desk), the rooms had fabulous views and the property was immaculate. My client and I had wonderful cocktails, enjoyed laying out by the pool and just relaxing when we weren't working. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of everything and walking distance to everything we needed. A wonderful value for the price, highly recommend! November 24, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackson13 Good Waikiki Beach Location I have stayed at this hotel a number of times while visiting Waikiki mainly for the location and views of Waikiki Beach. The rooms are somewhat dated but have great views from the balconies, the higher the floor the better the view. The size of the hotel creates a somewhat chaotic arrival and check in process. Hotel highlights include the location on the beach, a great adult oriented edge pool and a very nice larger pool area for families. I also enjoyed relaxing in the rocking chairs by the koi pond. A complete variety of activities, shopping and dining options are within a short walk. February 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry22 Perfect location and outstanding service This is a very high traffic hotel and the lobby is always busy. However, customer service is excellent and staff are very friendly. The club lounge has a beautiful view with plenty of food and drinks for guests. Room is very clean but shows its age. I am very lucky to have an upgraded room with fantastic ocean view. Thank you for a perfect vacation. January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul81 Paradise in November The rest and relaxation is second to none at the Sheraton. The service and quality keeps us coming back. This trip was our 10th trip to Waikiki. My wife and I have been staying at the Sheraton for the last 7. Paul November 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by catherinemaxh Love the hotel, but needs a little improvement. I've spent 23 nights at this resort hotel in the past few months and I really love the location and the lobby is gorgeous! My big complaint is that the Valet parking staff are quite rude and are not very welcoming every time I've arrived. The other issue is that the laundry room seriously needs to be cleaned and updated, it is extremely dirty and appears neglected and unkept every time I've been in there to wash my laundry. I'm very fortunate that my family and I live in Hawaii and have the opportunity to stay at this hotel frequently for both leisure and business in the Honolulu area. We already have plans to stay there again next week and are curious to see if any improvements have been made since our last visit. We have now reached Gold SPG membership status and are curious to see what kind of room upgrade we will receive upon check-in as stated in the SPG Gold membership benefits. (I'll update my review after we complete our stay next week.) We always enjoy our stay at this beautiful resort and are looking forward to our upcoming visit! I would highly recommend you choose this beautiful hotel if you're planning a trip to Waikiki, you'll love the location and the gorgeous views! November 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by bagel is the worst sheraton we have ever stayed in from the moment we checked in till departure there were constant problems. original room did not have a beach view cleaner was inconsistent food was poor quality pool chairs were disgusting -no matresses and not have to pay an additional $60 per day for a chaise lounge with a mattress key card had to be re-coded three times in four days November 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JRKeb Exceeded Expectations This hotel has mastered the art of giving "the personal touch" even though it is a massive property. It has improved markedly since we stayed here two years ago - so much so that we wouldn't now think of staying anywhere else on Waikiki. Jarret, at check-in, was ready for us even though we came in late, and he explained everything we needed to know to make our time there as enjoyable as it could be. We asked him for a couple of items to be sent to our room - and they were delivered about 10 seconds after we arrived in the room! We are Starwood Platinum guests and the recognition received here is gratifying. (Love the idea of "The Bag" - you feel like a kid in a candy store!!) The Club now rivals the best - which was not the case two years ago. The manager, Jamie Fusco, is very gracious as are the staff who look after the guests there. We enjoyed dining in Kai Market and Rum Fire - especially their version of high tea, called "Spiked Tea". We simply enjoyed our stay from start to finish! January 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by djusmc03 Worst Starwood Experience Bottom Line: If you have older kids, it may be better suited for you but you still have to deal with smoking/drunk adults at the "family pool." Specifically request not to be above the loading dock. Don't expect a manager to actually call you back. Expect to wait even when you're the only guest in the line. We couldn't take it anymore switched to another hotel after 2 nights. We checked in at 630pm on Tues May 21, 2013. The problems began from the moment we arrived. Check in: I had to ask repeatedly for a Gold Preferred upgrade availability. Only time I have had to do this at a Starwood property. I was the only person in the Preferred line and it still took over 20min just to check in. Not very professional service nor expedient. Room: We were first given a room on the 31st floor. The A/C did not work and had to wait another 30min for a new room. There was also no crib as I had requested last month by directly calling the hotel and verifying during checkin. We were then given a room on the 12th floor. We had requested a quiet room and this new room on the 12th floor was above the loading dock. Infant son was startled and woke up at 330/4amam and 6am because of loud beeping sounds. We went to Ingredients for breakfast and half the items we tried to order were not available. Who runs out of bagels??? We take our ordered breakfast to sit by the Infinity pool. We were approached by the pool staff and rudely told "You cant be here." We ask why and he told us that this pool is for adults only and no one under the age of 16 is allowed. Seriously??? It's not even 8am, our 4.5month old son is sleeping in the stroller and there are less than 10 people sitting poolside. We go over to a table away from the pool and finish our breakfast. I go to the front desk and ask if there is a manager available as I wanted to ask if there were any quieter rooms. They tell me that they will call me in the next couple of hours. We decide to spend the day at the family pool where we are allowed. When we go to the family pool at 830am, we immediately notice there are no umbrellas. We ask at the pool desk if they were going to put our more than the 3 umbrellas. They tell us that for safety reasons they can't put out more umbrellas. Really? They tell us in the winter and in high-wind conditions that the umbrellas are unsafe. First of all, it's May 21st! Secondly, if it was unsafe, why are there over 20 umbrellas in the adult pool. Essentially, we are forced to rent a cabana to have any shade. We pay the $45 and ask for a quiet area with shade. As the cabanas are assigned, they tell us to go to the cabana at the far end by the ocean as the trees will provide shade and it's quiet. It was fine for about an hour until we notice they put us by the walkway that connects the hotel with the rest of Waikiki beach. We ask for another cabana and were told there weren't any more to rent. So not we have to deal with loud people walking 5 feet directly in front of our cabana for the rest of the day. That was real quiet. In addition, this was supposed to be the family pool but there are no restrictions on who can be at this pool. So then you have adults of all ages, some of whom are clearly drunk, at the same pool with kids and infants. These adults are also smoking AT THE FAMILY POOL and the family pool is downwind from the outdoor patio of the Rumfire restaurant where people are smoking. So we can't be at the Infinity pool with our infant but forced to go to the so called Family Pool with smoking and drunk idiots? The pool staff level of service is poor to say the least. We had one staff member start loudly stacking lounge chairs next to us. We kindly asked him if he could not bang the chairs as our son was getting startled. He just rolled his eyes and walked away. Another staff member came later and did the same thing. One person (don't know if he was staff, I assume since he was talking to other staff members) came to the cabana next to ours, moved our table with all our stuff on it, took out a socket wrench and proceeded to remove the cabana shade. He had headphones on and didn't even say a word, even as he was moving our stuff. By this point, it's early afternoon and no call from manager as expected. I go to the front desk again and finally an actual manager comes out to talk to me. He says that he is sorry for the room and the pool issues. He will see what he can do and will let me know by phone. I get a voicemail a couple of hours later and says that he has upgraded to a club level 30th floor room. All we have to do is proceed to the front desk and pick up our new keys. Although we really don't want to pack our stuff up again and move, we don't want our son waking up due to the loading dock noise at night. I go to the front desk where the girl tells me to wait. I wait 15-20min and she tells me that we are on the 18th floor. I tell her that the other manager left me a voicemail that we are on the 30th floor. She says that manager is gone for the day. At this point, wife is not happy, son is not happy=I'm definitely not happy. I call front desk again and speak with another guest services manager (shelly). We wait another 30min and told that a room on the 30th floor is available. Then we are told we have to wait until the room is cleaned. By now it's almost 6pm and we are finally able to move. By the time we pack and unpack and put our son to bed, it's almost 8pm already. Shelly calls back and asks how the room is. I say it's better but we still had to wait for a crib to be delivered and now we have to order room service because of all the waiting. She offers to comp our room service. I tell her about the horrible day at the pool with all the smoking and some drunk adults and poor interactions with pool staff. She says that she will talk to the pool manager first thing tomorrow morning and one of them will call me. No phone call again from a manager. We decide to switch hotels in the early afternoon of Thurs 23 May. During checkout, the representative ask me why I'm checking out early. I say the past two days have been horrible and no manager has called me back today. Response "oh, ok." We always try and stay at Starwood properties and never experienced something quite like these two days. I'm still waiting for my points to be refunded when reservations were canceled early. Yes, Sheraton Waikiki, you have to initiate this and SHOULD have been done when you canceled the remainder of my stay. Instead, I have to call and have corporate track you down to refund my points.

Throughout your whole marriage you thought you were first in their life and now it leave you vulnerable and frightened. For a few seconds I felt an urge to get out of the car and walk to the cottage so as to see exactly what they were doing through one ...

A prego slut pregnant wife sex pregnant fucked by doctor movie - A horrible click, but Sarah only rolled onto her back and sighed. Her tits gave in to gravity and spread slightly to either side. I crept back into bed and carefully covered her right nipple with my mouth, barely touching her flesh. Slowly I worked my tongue across the nipple and began to build up a suction. Just as milk began to flow, Sarah awoke in a haze and moaned aloud. I pulled my lips away for a second (getting sprayed with milk from the built-up pressure), and said: "Good morning." She didn't even try to ...

Was watching her fist compress the tiny orbs together until they turned blue and I swear I saw a smirk on her red cock sucking lips. Between bouts of severe pain, I was trying to remember back to when she would have taken me with her pretty mouth that way. I couldn't recall it ever happening. Spittle was starting to drip from the corners of her mouth as Brian sawed back and forth penetrating deeply with each stroke. I could hear her gag each time his cock entered her throat but she kept swallowing. She reacted to a very deep thrust by almost ...
Now or you can pack your things and leave. I want to see your cunt now, before you take a shower." Even as I watched, I saw the tears forming in her eyes as she opened and closed her mouth a few tune trying to say something but words wouldn't come out. The pressure she exerted on my hand became even more intense as I continue to stare in her ash-white face. I could tell that she was going to resist me. In the six year that we had been married she had never once tried to stop me from touching her cunt, I think her reaction ...
And then knelt down, easing my panties over my hips as he knelt. He took them down to the floor where I guess he expected me to step out of them, but I didn't. He waited a moment and then lifted my feet until he had freed my body from the protective cotton. "You are so wonderful, Hannah!" He whispered it in my ear like he was my true love as he reached around me and undid my bra. At that moment I decided that I would let hm do his thing but that I would not respond no matter what he did. He could have my body, but I would keep my heart! I didn't tell him that he was the first man to enjoy me naked. ...

Those of you who follow us on Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr, know that I was in New Mexico over the holidays. What resulted from this adventure was a love for the west and an understanding of why so many artists and creative types have settled to work there. I was deeply impacted by the beauty, spirit, and (perhaps mostly by) the clear, crisp air. The day my friend Jennifer and I landed we spotted four rainbows. Our friend Jeff wrote that such an unlikely experience is "possibly an indicator of good fortune to come."
My blog post at EcoSalon this Friday is about our trip and the inspiration I found in a woman – long dead – named Mabel Dodge Luhan.
Thanks to EcoSalon for the continuing bi-weekly collaboration – read all of my stories there and make sure you let them know what you like.
"I can't believe that I am doing this." Wait. Laugh. Repeat. These were the words I kept echoing over and over again as I sat at Gate B27 in the Atlanta Airport. My girlfriend, Jennifer Venditti, is sitting across from me, looking like a vision of New York City chic. I stare at her in amazement. We are waiting to board a flight to Albuquerque, New Mexico, with plans to catch up on the last six months of one another's lives.

That's right kids, the American version of the UK juggernaut will premier Sunday, November 21st on The History Channel. Replacing the British power-trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May will be Adam Ferrara, an actor/comedian that starred in Rescue Me, Rutledge Wood, a race analyst best known for reporting on NASCAR, and Tanner Foust, a professional stunt/race driver whose latest television work was on the Speed Channel's "Battle of the Super Cars".
To stir potential fans of the new show into a manic frenzy, two new trailers were just released to the Internet masses:
See them both in New Videos.
Will the Americanized version of Top Gear have the gusto to blossom in the massive shadow of its inspiration? We'll find out in less than a month.

It happens all the time. A cliff, a car, planned or not, a terrible wreck ensues. Monday, police say former Pro Bowler Junior Seau was asleep behind the wheel of his Cadillac Escalade when he drove it off a cliff in southern California, only several hours after being arrested for a domestic violence charge. From USA Today:
"Police told the L.A. Times there were no signs of alcohol or drug involvement. They told the North County Times that the tires tracks at the scene were consistent with Seau's statement that he had fallen asleep."
Seau survived the crash with only minor injuries; pictures show his Escalade was crushed. Rumors have been circulating that Seau may have been trying to kill himself, but his agent, Mike Kinkler, told ESPN the accident and his arrest were not related:
"One had nothing to do with the other," Kinkler said. "It's unfortunate the two events happened so close together, but what people are reporting is completely untrue." (1)
Reported right here on Brandon's Blog only several weeks ago:
"The last tweet of celebrity plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan allegedly came moments before he drove his Jeep off a cliff and died… "Blake's ex-girlfriend, Charmaine Blake summed up the events that led to the tragedy:
'He lived up in Malibu on a tiny street and he was texting while driving and he accidentally went over the cliff,' she said.
"The California Highway Patrol confirms Ryan was texting before the crash, but investigators have not officially determined the cause of the accident.
'It is one of the elements that we are investigating,' CHP Officer Steven Reid says." (2)
Who could forget AutoTrader's ingenious marketing competition, "Cliff My Ride"? The concept was as simple as it had to do with cliffs: Contestants from around the world submitted videos to autotrader.ca explaining why they desperately needed their car to be thrown from a cliff to a fiery demise.
On May 8th, the good folks at AutoTrader "cliffed" Felix Revelin-Couture's 1992 Volvo station wagon, meaning they fired it from a launch pad into what appeared to be a gravel quarry of sorts; a classic location for such an event if there ever was one.
Luckily, Felix wasn't asleep or texting in the car, nor was he suicidal, though he did actually pull the lever that launched his trusty Volvo brick to its untimely death while standing safely alongside it. His prize: $30,000 towards the purchase of a new car on AutoTrader. Watch the video: http://cliffyourride.autotrader.ca/
Our third example is a serious one. Not so much of its own accord, but for the ramifications that it had beyond the silver screen. We're speaking of course of Thelma & Louise's 1991 stare-down with the Grand Canyon. Behind the wheel of a 1966 Ford Thunderbird, both women had nothing to lose after Louise was forced to kill a man that threatened to rape Thelma. When the police eventually corner the duo on the Canyon's ridge, the ladies decide to cliff their ride in a much darker fashion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z88U915uq8
Disturbingly, the Grand Canyon very well may be the most popular location to drive a car off a cliff, quite possibly due to the famous end scene described above. The following excerpt from Book of Odds explains why, and also sheds light on the history of car-related suicides at the canyon dating back nearly forty years:
"People really do drive their cars, on purpose, into the Grand Canyon. In fact, they do it regularly. The first occurrence was in 1967, when Osan Kang, an out-of-work Korean con man, picked up a Hertz rental car and then scoped out a spot on the South Rim with a natural ramp at the edge. He then drove the car over the rim into 1,000 feet of empty air.
Kang had eight or nine seconds of free-fall to think about the trend he'd started—not destroying a rental car (although poor Hertz saw another of its cars take the plunge six years later), but using a car to end it all.
It was a trend that seriously ramped up in 1991, the year of Thelma & Louise. After that, the Grand Canyon had three auto suicides in as many years, including that of Patricia Astolfo in 1993.
After watching her Thelma & Louise tape 50 times, she took it upon herself to drive her Chevy Suburban into the pit. Just before the rim, its suspension got stuck on a rock outcropping. Still alive, Astolfo got out and simply jumped off the ledge—only to fall 20 feet onto another ledge. Still alive, and badly hurt, she crawled off the second ledge and finally jumped to her death."

As a result of the Susan G Komen 'Paint it Pink' campaign there are splashes of the signature color wherever a North Westerner's eye might wander. I have a slight astigmatism in my left eye, which may have contributed to the random glimpse I caught of a "Pink Warrior" Prius on my way past Toyota of Seattle.
Story time.
Several hours earlier, my roommate and I had departed from our villa in West Seattle on a mission to find a car dealership in the area willing to let us test drive one of their exciting new models. Downtown, the idle on my Civic decided to give out and the little engine's RPM's skyrocketed to a dangerous level just a block down from Toyota of Seattle.
We scrapped the excitement angle and swung into the back lot of the dealership. My googley eye wandered dangerously from the sudden stress and just so happen to fall on something… Pink?
Pink Gold. Toyota of Seattle's Pink Warrior Prius was positioned proudly in a stall near the front of the lot, set apart from the other rows of vehicles.
Out came the note pad, down went the questions, in we went to the dealership floor to find the man with the answers. Mr. Jason Perry, Used Car Manager of the dealership, greeted us.
I positioned my face next to MotorSpaceNW on one of his computer monitors and he matched my mug to the one on the screen.
(Note to self: Order business cards)
"I'm convinced," he said, and led us out to the Pink Warrior.
We stood in front of a 2007 Toyota Prius with a custom pink graphic package set against a white paint job, a rolling show of support for the Susan G Komen Foundation; Jason's brainchild. The Deal:
Toyota of Seattle will donate $500 to the foundation or a related cause in the name of whoever purchases the car.
When asked what inspired him to create such a bold vehicle, Jason was eager to respond:
"I wanted the person to feel good about driving it," he said, "I wanted the dealership to feel good about donating the money, when people see it I want them to say, 'hey, you know what? We see this on cereal boxes, we see it on Monday Night Football, we know what the pink ribbon stands for,' I want the person who's driving it to feel good and to know that they're making a statement."
It didn't take long for the Pink Warrior to begin catching the public's eye. Shortly after posting pictures of the car online at toyotaofseattle.com, Jason was contacted and asked if he would be willing lend the car to the recent Paint it Pink event at Qwest Field.
He agreed and the Pink Warrior was displayed for all to see. Despite the public success, Jason found the most profound effect of the car might have occurred in his own dealership:
"Probably the most powerful reaction that I got was when we first got the vehicle back on the lot. I took some pictures on my Iphone and sent them out company-wide. We have an employee, I didn't know anything about this person, they work in a different department, this person sent me an email and said, 'I just want to let you know what that means to me, to see that. My daughter is fighting the disease. I lost my wife to it and some other family members.' Here's somebody that I'm not in close contact with but I see everyday and I had no idea how close that person felt to this, and what they had gone through. That tells me that there are a lot of other people in that same situation."
Jason explained that Toyota of Seattle would outfit any car on their lot with the Pink Warrior package. Or, if a customer doesn't want the package, the dealership will remove it and still make the same donation.
Even though his dealership is not directly affiliated with the Susan G Komen Foundation, it was obvious Jason was excited about the prospect of seeing the Pink Warrior ensemble make its presence known in Seattle.
"I don't want it to get to the commercial type point," he said, "But the level of awareness for the Susan G Komen Foundation is probably at its all time high, as far as being accepted, being out in the open, people understanding it, becoming part of the mainstream, becoming part of our everyday lives."
"I want this car to be driven around Seattle and the thousands, millions of people that come downtown to see this car, to know that it was Toyota of Seattle that put it on the road and know the customer said, 'Hey, I'm a Pink Warrior and I'm driving this thing and I hope you know it."
It was only a matter of time before the gentlemen at Ford Racing got their hands on a Fiesta, and yes, they went so far as to milk 350hp from a 2.0L Ecoboost inline four. That's comparable power to the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO between the fenders of a 2,500lb compact…
How, why, Gremlin, you ask? From the press release:
"Ford Racing Performance Parts is putting its own spin on a Fiesta at SEMA, outfitting a concept Fiesta in a way that is sure to get the hearts of high-performance enthusiasts pumping. The Fiesta will have a production-based 2.0-liter EcoBoost™ engine, enlarged to 2.3 liters to pump out 350 horsepower.
"The goal of our 350-horsepower Fiesta is really twofold – first to reinforce Fiesta's fun-to-drive nature with an extreme version that captures the attention of the influential enthusiast, and second, to introduce the Ford Racing/EcoBoost connection in a way that's unexpected and outrageous," said Mickey Matus, Ford Racing Performance group marketing manager. "In both cases, we're targeting the discriminating performance enthusiast with our message. After all, they are the people others rely on for automotive expertise and recommendations."
But is it a Gremlin?
"The car comes equipped with several Ford Racing Performance Parts options that are currently available at www.fordracingparts.com. A short-throw shifter offers more precise shifting, while a Ford Racing exhaust gives off a deeper, throatier exhaust note. Also available are 17-inch wheels that are cast-aluminum and painted in charcoal gray.
Additionally, the car features Brembo brakes that offer the ultimate in stopping power, and
Ohlins dual-flow valve dampers that deliver comfort and agility."
Gremlins didn't' have those things. And were ugly.
To drive home the point that Fiestas are highly customizable both from the dealership floor and beyond, Ford will also be displaying versions of the car at SEMA built specially by some of the most respected names in the business. The list includes:
-Universal Technical Institute
-3D Carbon
-L&G Enterprises
-H&R Springs
-Steeda Autosports
Don't miss these dandies and many more at SEMA, November 2-5 in Las Vegas.
The U.S. Air Force has a new recruitment tool: Monster Trucks. Specifically, a Cadillac Escalade monstrosity designed to resemble an A10-C Thunderbolt Warthog, equipped with a Gatling gun that shoots t-shirts. You heard right, son. From Jalopnik:
"The U.S. Air Force outreach project launched earlier this year and, like the Army with its Hummers and climbing walls, involves outreach mostly at sporting events. And in case getting blasted by t-shirts out of the nose of a monster truck wasn't persuasive enough, they're handing out ringtones that sound like the the actual 30-mm gun on the A10. Epic." (1)
Some might say there are better ways to spend taxpayer money than to build a recruitment tool for the military that epitomizes excess (perhaps a teacher's union monster truck? ((A '96 Dodge Caravan?)).
Others would argue this is the U.S.****in'A. and it's only fitting our Air Force should blast T-Shirts from a 10,000 American-made SUV; that's just how we roll.
Whatever your opinion on the matter, the balls-out invitation to join up with the world's finest Military power has caused enough of a stir to catch the attention of the New York Times. Here's the in-depth scoop:
"…The A-10 Monster Truck, which we first spotted on Jalopnik, has been touring air shows, sporting events and, indeed, monster truck rallies all year long, engaging passersby with its supercharged, methanol-injected engine's stirring ruminations on post-Soviet multipolarity.
The pitch might appear unambiguous, but the A-10 also travels with enlisted recruiters who answer attendees' questions about the truck, as well as about the Air Force.
"Anywhere there's a crowd, it's a magnet," said Maj. Bobby Holland, an Air Force spokesman, in a telephone interview from Randolph Air Force Base, in San Antonio, where the military branch's motorsport-based recruiting initiatives are organized.
"People come check out the recruiting truck outside the Monster events or at the air shows, and we can offer digital rewards, ring tones, little ways to introduce people to the Air Force," Major Holland said. Though he could not provide actual numbers, Major Holland feels that the A-10 has served his recruitment targets well. "We have a data capture system where people register at the truck for more info about the Air Force, and that's definitely well into the hundreds," he said.
The A-10 was at the Wichita Flight Festival last weekend and will stump throughout the South and Southwest in coming weeks, traveling in its custom 85-foot trailer. Major Holland does not anticipate the truck will be decommissioned any time soon. "It has a really large promotional footprint," he said, without a hint of deadpan." (2)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

This will ensure that service levels are met and problems are quickly, reliably, and more cost effectively solved.

Is anyone else not surprised that Avon is back with yet another eye-area product claiming to "correct" dark circles? Although the formula for this lightweight lotion contains some intriguing and beneficial ingredients, the correction of undereye darkness comes from the cosmetic pigments present, not from some high-tech mix of superior ingredients only Avon is using. In other words, you'll get some brightening and, yes, a bit of lightening of dark circles—but once this is washed off, nothing has changed, just like when you use concealer to cover dark circles (only concealer covers better). In terms of this imparting color, it really doesn't; it's more of a soft-focus blur effect along with a very sheer shimmer. So, as Avon states, this would be suitable for different skin tones.
The reason to use this is if you have slightly dry skin around the eyes (this is not a creamy, moisture-rich formula) and want to apply a separate product to brighten and provide slight smoothing as it treats skin to several anti-aging ingredients (though none are unique for the eye area). We don't typically comment on our personal experience with skin-care products, but did happen to notice this eye treatment delivered a fleeting cooling sensation. Trouble is, we couldn't identify which ingredient was responsible, as there's a couple that have zero research on their ability to help or potentially harm skin.
Anew Clinical Absolute Even Dark Circle Corrector is best for normal to slightly dry skin.
Most eye-area products aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as being for skin around the eyes doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse.
There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream.
You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye treatments don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse!
Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.
Introducing ANEW CLINICAL Absolute Even Dark Circle Corrector with Avon's shadow erase complex and self-adjusting sheer optics, eyes look instantly brighter! Designed to match different skin tones. Custom flexible tip for comfortable precise application.
Water/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Silica, Thiodipropionic Acid, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Melicope Hayesii Leaf Extract, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract, Mesyloxybenzyl Isobutylbenzenesulfonamide, Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-10, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Fruit Extract, Pueraria Lobata Symbiosome Extract, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Dimethicone , Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Petrolatum, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, PEG-8, PEG-200, Polyester-1, Cholesterol, Lecithin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Steareth-20, Xanthan Gum, Urea, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Sodium Hydroxide, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Titanium Dioxide/Ci 7789, Iron Oxides, Mica/Ci 77019
The last few years have been an interesting time for the world's largest direct seller. Avon is sold in 120 countries and has an enormous range of products that goes beyond skin care and makeup, all sold by five million Avon representatives racking up annual sales of over $8 billion (Source: www.avoncompany.com). Yet due to several quarters of lackluster or poor financial performance, the company announced a multiyear restructuring plan in 2006. The anticipated cost of these changes is upwards of $500 million, which includes downsizing underperforming areas and focusing on remarketing their star products. In recent years, those key products have had "cosmeceutical" appeal, with claims that have gone beyond reality (but overexaggerated claims sell big in the cosmetics industry).
The Anew Clinical line ushered in several products claiming to work like (or, in some instances, better than) cosmetic corrective procedures. Whether you are considering laser treatments, Botox, Thermage, collagen injections, or even liposuction, the ads for Anew Clinical were designed to make you rethink that decision.
It is definitely impressive that Avon invested $100 million on a state-of-the-art research and product development facility in New York, but despite some innovative products that compete with the best of the best (typically for much less money), no cosmetics company has (or will) produce skin-care products that rival or beat the results obtainable from medical procedures. It's admittedly easier to slather on a cream or stroke a pad over your face than to make an office call and shoulder the expense for a cosmetic corrective procedure, but in this case convenience and savings don't equal—or even come close to—comparable results. And lest we forget, despite the onslaught of so-called cosmeceutical products claiming to mimic the results such procedures provide, the number of these procedures being performed increases each year. If any of these works-like-(insert cosmetic corrective procedure here) products did work, the number of procedures would be declining, not rising.
The National Advertising Division (NAD) took issue with several claims Avon made in ads for their Anew Clinical products (Source: www.nadreview.org/default.asp?SessionID=1149178&DocType=1&CaseType=1). In some cases, Avon reworded their claims in ad reprints, while in others they "respectfully disagreed" with the NAD conclusions but agreed to take their comments into consideration for future ads. We'll see how this turns out, but, based on their current ads, the message remains that Anew Clinical products are at the forefront of making cosmetic corrective procedure results as easy as calling your Avon representative and reciting your credit card number.
As a major international cosmetics company, Avon has several initiatives in place that prove its commitment to women and the environment. Whether donating to women's health concerns (most notably breast cancer), surpassing environmental regulations, or financially supporting alternative methods to animal testing, Avon's principles are responsible and admirable. If you pay attention to the best of what they have to offer, you will not only be supporting Avon's mission to improve the lives of women but also gaining some wonderful products, making it a win-win situation.
The bad news is that unless you know what you want and order from Avon's Web site, dealing with an Avon representative tends to be a frustrating experience. Try as they might, most of them are mere order-takers. They cannot keep up with the product assortment, sales, and changes that occur between Avon's "campaigns." One of the representatives we dealt with was quite frank about how much she didn't know, and mentioned that they are not kept as up-to-date as they should be, not to mention the haphazard assortment of testers or samples available. On the flipside, Avon is a wonderful mail-order company should you need to return or exchange products. Unlike companies with a similar business model (Arbonne comes to mind), Avon makes the process smooth and hassle-free, with a "if you're not happy, we're not" motto that epitomizes outstanding customer service.

Avon Makeup
If you've been noticing more magazine and television ads for Avon recently, it's no accident. According to an article in the November 21, 2005, issue of The Rose Sheet, Avon's ad spending through 2008 will reach "historical heights" due in part to the brand's flat performance the past couple of years. Avon's CEO Andrea Jung admitted that the company's makeup business has struggled due to increased competition, a point we wholeheartedly agree with. Avon may be viewed as a skin-care innovator, but when it comes to makeup they're more follow-the-leaders than trail blazers. Admittedly, their foundations, powders, blush, and lipsticks have smoother, more state-of-the-art textures than ever, but with few exceptions none of them are setting a precedent that other, more innovative companies are likely to follow.
You will find some outstanding Avon makeup products to consider, but perhaps due to the sheer size of the collection there are far too many mediocre products, especially among the eyeshadows, pencils, and mascaras. Given that Avon isn't as easy to obtain as comparable products at your local drug or department store, many of the makeup items end up being a tough sell. After all, who wants to go out of their way for average products? Turning to what Avon does really well, you'll find their loose and pressed powders have amazingly silky textures and natural finishes. Their blushes are wonderful, and a few of the lipsticks and foundations are definitely worth talking about with enthusiasm. Another positive point is that Avon regularly discounts their makeup, often upwards of 50% during any given campaign (Avon's campaigns run for two weeks and the specials change each time). If you shop at the right time, the best of Avon color can be yours for less than you'd pay for most low-cost drugstore makeup.
