I always have a little routine before I board a plane for any trip. After checking the time I need to make sure I’m at the gate, I stock up and drinks and snacks for the flight and then squeeze in a visit to the airport newsagent to buy magazines. I usually always buy a couple as I know I’ll read a few on the flight and it might be hard to buy English magazines when I get to my destination. Well just like the transformation from booking a holiday in a travel agent to online, technological advances are now digitalising all aspects of the way we travel – including reading magazines designed to entertain us in holiday downtime moments.

Grosse Pointe Farms home was made for entertaining
Judy Rose Special to the Detroit Free Press Published 7:17 AM EDT Sep 8, 2018 On a secluded street with just a handful of neighbors, this 9,000-square-foot colonial home is one of the finer houses of the Grosse Pointes. It’s set behind a tall hedge on 2.4 landscaped acres with a pool, pool house, men’s and women’s dressing rooms, a brass door, a four-car garage, two koi ponds and a carriage house apartment. It has two first-floor bedroom suites, seven suites altogether. Upstairs, the owners’ suite has a 20-foot walk-in closet, an 8-foot walk in closet, a 16-foot dressing room or fitting room.

Taylor Swift turns her gloomy ‘Reputation’ into stadium-shaking grand entertainment
During most big concerts, when an artist shows up on a small second stage at the back of the floor, it’s to play an acoustic ballad or two, connect a bit with folks in the cheap seats and then head back up front. Friday night at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium, Taylor Swift took a decidedly Taylor Swift-ian approach to the satellite stage. She flew over the heads of the crowd in a cherry picker-style device while singing “Delicate.” One she landed at the first of two “small” stages, a 50-foot inflatable snake slithered far above her head and her openers, Charli XCX and Camila Cabello, joined her for a stadium-shaking take on her 2014 anthem “Shake it Off.” Swift then pulled out an acoustic guitar for “Dancing with Our Hands Tied,” a track from her sixth and most recent album “Reputation.” She followed it with “Begin Again” from 2012’s “Red,” her last (almost all) country record. Then … [Read more...] about Taylor Swift turns her gloomy ‘Reputation’ into stadium-shaking grand entertainment
