Reviews CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 Lauren Weisberger’s debut tale also draws its inspiration from ac tual experiences. The author worked as an assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Supposedly, the book’s fictional editor, Miranda Priestly, exhibits an un canny number of Wintour’s habits and character traits. Amazed by the wealth of the world she works in, narrator Andrea Sachs gawks at the money spent on clothes, the famous-name company kept and the perfect appearances of those that surround her. Editor Miranda Priestly’s out rageous demands and fickle “needs” spawn a variety of comic moments, yet the novel is overtly cynical in its depiction of the fash ion elite. Unlike “The Nanny Diaries,” “The Devil Wears Prada” has no endearing Grayer type characters to warm its some times sardonic tone. Yet it is still an entertaining look into the lives of those who have the world’s top designers on speed dial. Neither novel will endure as a modem classic, and in their quest for light-hearted satire, neither as pires to. But both books provide a welcome diversion to the every day world of school, work and mass retail shopping. Prepare to literarily experience life with an uptown address and indulge.

Somebody needs it. TAURUS You can make your environment even more comfortable. Add a little bit here, take a little from there. With some tweaking, you’ll achieve perfection. GEMINI It’s good to be enthusiastic, but don’t overlook the details. If you take time to keep your area clean, you’ll learn the material faster. CANCER If you find yourself in the spotlight, fall back on familiar habits. Something you’ve relied on a thousand times will get you through once again. ! LEO It’s hard to apply J limitations, especially to | yourself. If you can manage to do it, though, your money will go a lot further. VIRGO It’s time to make an improvement that you’ve been thinking about. Don’t wait for somebody else to decide. You’re the one who’s in control. LIBRA It’s a good time to make decisions after reviewing all the facts. Even trying out a brand new idea or procedure should go very well. SCORPIO There will be a test, and you could win a raise or promotion. Prove that you know what you’re doing and, even better, that you love doing it. SAGITTARIUS If you can get out for a while, great! You’ll enjoy the fresh air, even if you’re on business. You’re on a rather short leash, but have the best time you can possibly have. CAPRICORN You’re a natural negotiator, but you can do even better. Have your lowest and highest offers worked out in your mind ahead of time. AQUARIUS It’s sometimes nice to lean back and let someone take care of you. Don’t struggle to maintain control. Let it go. This time, anyway.
