Little Philanthrop: Zach Bonner´s charity march

To continue with charity a bit more, we want to tell you about a little redhead named Zach Bonner. The boy from Florida has founded the ‘Little Red Waggon Foundation’, a non-profit organization to help underprivileged kids and those ones who are in distressed situations. He was only six years old then. His aim is since then to help children in the USA. For his latest project he is marching across the country from Florida to Los Angeles with selected projects to help homeless kids. The little philantrop wants to keep his actions simple but effective. We think, this little boy is incredibly committed and a good example to show, how easy and most of all, how satisfiying it can be to help other people. Visit his site, it´s inspiring! We will waiting for the movie, that documents Zach´s journey and let you know when its out!

The Seattle Gum Wall

At first it might be a little bit disgusting but with no doubt this is a real piece of urban streetart. The Seattle Gum Wall is one of the most visited tourist spots in the world. It all began when people who were waiting to buy tickets to the theater, stuck their chewing gums on the wall to stick small coins on it. Later, of course the coins disappeared, but the chewing gums remained together with a new born tradition. The attendants of the theater cleaned the wall twice, then they gave it up in 1999 when this became a local tourist attraction. By now you don’t only find gum, but real creative pieces, names and messages, symbols and signs. You will find the wall in Post Alley under the Park Market Place in Seattle.

“High Glitz- The Extravagant World Of Child Beauty Pageants” by Susan Anderson

Susan Anderson has captured the documentary portrait series, High Glitz: The extravagant world of Child Beauty Pageants.  The artifical beauty of the American girls are captured at the height of their performance- hours of preparation, tons of make-up, and somewhat empty children’s eyes are looking into the honest camera. The strange microcosm was held in pictures and was published in a book, giving a close-up and intimate look on the subject and showing the turn of society’s obsession with youth, beauty, fame and fortune.  Each Year more than 100,000 children under the age of 12 participate in U.S. child beauty pageants, which are becoming a billion-dollar industry. Susan Anderson has greatly managed to show the facades of the glossy perfect barbie dolls, respecting them as adults, for which they feel to be. eVe in every form and figure- we are fascinated about this!

OK Go “This Too Shall Pass”

It all started with some good old exercise on some treadmills. Not! The Chicago born band, OK Go, actually choreographed one of the best music video’s ever.

Yesterday, the visionary foursome released a new remake video to their single “This Too Shall Pass”. Using a Rube Goldberg Machine designed by Synn Labs, they take you on an amazing chain reaction journey. There is a bit of *nerd* inside all of us and OK Go proves yet once again, that everything is possible when it comes to creativity! We likey likey!
