A new idea! A hunch?

Watch this video and then give your opinion about it.

Hotels!

Let´s compare these hotels.

The Hotel of the famous

What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein. What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Marilyn Monroe? Or Madonna?

Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions and many more at the Fame Hotel in California. Ten miles outside Los Angeles, the Fame Hotel promises to answer the question "What if?". When you check into the hotel, you choose a room. Each room has a name. There's Clint Eastwood on the second floor and Elvis Presley on the third floor. In total, the Fame Hotel has 32 rooms, most of which are named after stars of Hollywood or music. But there are also famous writers (Mark Twain and Agatha Christie) and even some scientists and sports stars, such as Mike Tyson.

When you enter the room, you enter the life of that person. There are pictures everywhere. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Marilyn Monroe's wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses, Albert Einstein doesn't have any socks in his wardrobe because the real Einstein never wore them! If you choose Mike Tyson's room, you'll be able to practice boxing in one corner of the room. And there's even a skipping rope too!

I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. "I love this hotel," he said to me. "I wanted to know 'What would Elvis Presley eat for breakfast?' and now I know". That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table, the Einstein room's guest is eating cabbage soup!

The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

Life and images

Listen to this Visual Manifesto. Check this link: https://vimeo.com/113420504

Images, they create our world
They inhabit our space
They reflect what's in our mind's eye.
and are at the core of what we believe in
What we hope for
The beauty we see in others, in ourselves
The hope we find, even in difficult moments
Images are an intimate part of our world
and they are everywhere.
But how do we reflect on them now
with so many at once?
Are they losing their impact?
Do we really understand the message?
Or is it lost in the bombardment?
What do we need to do to make it STOP?
We can no longer be passive.
We have to be more discerning, more selective, more
collaborative.
We have to recognize the stories, on the surface and
underneath, and retell them in our own way or tell our own
stories.
We have to slow down, stop, reflect,
think about what we're seeing, why it's there,
how it affects us,
what it does to us emotionally and why.
When we are able to do this, we see beneath the surface to
what is really there.
And only then do become the real message makers, the
critical thinkers, the true problems solvers who manifest
the dreams of tomorrow.
Anna Whitcher and Kieran Donaghy
