Congratulations Germany!

Posted on November 9, 2009 by | Leave a comment

Today, November 9th is the 20th Anniversary of the end of The Wall in Germany.

Much like the election of our new American president, it proves that change can happen, it’ s possible and it all depends on the people. Change is not about money, it’s not about great leaders, it’s about regular folks – like you!

If it’s true that all politics are local, what do you want to happen locally?

We love this story….

Die Mode hat sich geändert.
Die Frauen haben sich verändert.
Unsere Welt ist eine andere.

No, you’re not reading about a new platform bed sale at IKEA – these are the words announcing a breakthrough modeling initiative at Brigitte, Germany’s most popular women’s magazine. Translated, they say:

The fashion has changed.
The women have changed.
Our world is another.

Here’s what has happened: On the heels of real women love stories like model Lizzie Miller, who posed with her naked belly in last month’s Glamour, or their feature this month of 12 plus-sized models in the buff,

Brigitte has announced they will no longer use professional models, instead choosing “real women” because, says after editor-in-chief Andreas Lebert said he was sick and tired of having to fatten stick figures up via Photoshop.  Instead, photo spreads from 2010-on will feature a mix of prominent and unknown women (students, businesswomen, athletes) who “have an identity” instead of those with “protruding bones.”

From Liquid Smoke

From Germany with love. Coincidence or not, these “juicy, tender fingers” hit the German shelves as President Obama arrived overseas for the international conference last week.

In an article by Charles Hawley, a German frozen food manufacturer stated they did not know that this juicy, tasty curry sauce product was “racists”.

I’m still waiting for my Hitler Hamburger.

Ryan Leslie Has A Web Dream

Posted on February 20, 2009 by | Leave a comment

For a musician who measures his worth in YouTube views, Ryan Leslie shouldn’t care about a promotional poster wheat-pasted to a plywood fence in Harlem.

But he does. So much so that the irrepressible pop singer has parked his silver SUV in the middle of the street so he can hop out and capture this moment for his blog, camera-wielding intern in tow. Continue reading →

Barack’s Brandenburg Speech

Obama In Berlin

Obama In Berlin

After much anticipation, Barack Obama’s Berlin speech is upon us. Adoring Germans are expected to turn up by the thousands, tens of thousands, or perhaps billions to see their new favorite American politician. Obama had originally considered giving the speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate, but after critics contended the site was inappropriate for someone who hasn’t even won the election yet, Obama decided to deliver the same exact speech in front of a different, less presumptuous symbolic landmark … the Victory Column. Though the theme of the address is European-American relations, the precise details are unknown. Will he say something in German, like JFK? Will he tell Mr. Gorbachev to tear down this wall, like Ronald Reagan? We’ll live-blog the event and let you know. Continue reading →
