"Only nine people out of the thousands of New Orleans residents are covered in this deeply moving book.

The Awakening and Other Stories : Kate Chopin
1 recommendation
"Another relatively unknown author, Kate Chopin was a pinnacle of the local color movement. The Awakening takes place in Victorian New Orleans among the Creole culture. It's a great story of a woman who does not embrace her role as wife, mother, or her place in society, and wishes to be free. This novel was not received well and even banned when it was written because women were not allowed to t..."

Amazon: The Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington (book by John Grisham)
1 recommendation
"Okay, so I read the book AFTER I saw the movie, but one gave me a greater appreciation for the other, so I highly recommend both. As for the movie, Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts are paired so beautifully and convincingly as reporter and law student respectively that their mutual respect for one another adds tremendous dramatic tension to this already fast-paced drama. And now that our pla..."

"Seems as though the Mardi Gras is not simply "Mardi" Gras . . . it is also Lundi Gras and Dimanche Gras and perhaps several other Gras I have yet to discover. If you would like more of the inside scoop without the airfare, try the official Mardi Gras website. Videos, photo albums, history and scandals included."

Socialite Classic Fit
1 recommendation
"Was St. Joe's named after the founder of Joe's Jeans? If not, it should have been. This is my all time favorite pair of jeans - the "Socialite" by Joe's Jeans. As the website says, "what is a girl to do when she finds the perfect pair of jeans?" Wear them all the time, everywhere - class, Casual Friday at work (or everyday if you work in a laid back office like mine), out to a fancier bar/cl..."

The only rum a true New Orleanian will ever have to buy again, made right here in the heart of the Big Easy."

"Excellent and easy way to set up a bar in a small New Orleans condo. These shelves can be easily and securely hung on all types of walls and look expensive but are realsonably priced. I got them in black."

"Most of the time the music of Tom Waits is like a slide that takes me into another time and place, "Orphans" feels more like sitting on the passenger seat of a cool old American automobile that happens to be possessed by ghosts. Noteworthy tracks: Lie to Me Lord I've Been Changed Road to Peace King Kong"
