Fashionistas Could offer Starbucks A Sexy Leg Up In Italy

 The Shockwaves have emanated from announcement that Howard Shultz’s coffee giant Starbucks SBUX +3.16% plans to expand into Italy. That's not exactly like McDonald’s opening in the Italian capital – an event that launched the Slow Food Movement. So also not exactly like McDonald’s selling French fries (which are really from Belgium) in Paris, But it’s a very important big deal.

Spokes folk for a Starbucks have announced that the move will be done with great care and most respect. Some ways that will be easy. These plan to add the sort of standup bars common in Italian coffee bars and a selection of alcoholic libations too – another Euro staple. Those expect to offer smaller portions of their signature drinks, be competitively priced and pay attention to other local customs. So there will be experiments with food offerings. But may be special events and listening tours. Will be enough?

The Staffer Katie Sola has deftly covered some of the basics, So one powerful force of commerce and culture Starbuckians may be able to harness is the world of fashion. A first store is slated for Milan where, during more a few weeks a year, fashion is everything.

Fashion is a most particular tribe with tribletts and minions and attendants and publicists and bloggers and starlets and more. So may be a huge business and have broad impact but it sometimes acts like a tight, and somewhat predictable family. Mostly when it comes to food and drink.

That is a say, cut and cuff, pattern and hew, padding and cutout may change from season to season but fashion folk get to the table those want their props neatly set. Those frequent the same restaurants where they will recognize and recognized and where a lighting and a crowd are set just right.

The Grilled chicken and poached salmon have a given way quinoa and kale ( joined on Craft Services table), that's are trail mix, fresh fruit, crunchy things that seems like they might be healthy, maybe water, Diet Coke (lots of Diet Coke) and sparkling water. So we won’t even discuss cigarettes or vape paraphernalia.

Maybe be a espresso machine in the studio but if not, someone always gets sent out to Starbucks. But if it isn’t really Starbucks, alike Kleenex isn’t always the actual brand of tissue. aLike coke in New Mexico can sometimes mean orange soda.

There's are larger sized, highly sugared or artificially sweetened signature and there are custom American style drinks hold their hot and provide a zip needed to get through long fittings and endless shoots. Those powerful habits travel wel, from New York to Miami, LA to London, Paris and, soon, to Milan.

My three dads – my first loves

Most of us have one father but Sophie Ellis had three, who were life-giving and life-affirming in different ways. She pays tribute to the wonderful men who made her I turn 30 in June. Among the list of things I feel I can boast about – running a marathon, raising a healthy, happy baby girl, mastering shorthand – the fact that I’ve had three dads feels like a particular privilege. The fact that I’ve lost three dads, less so. Let me explain. My biological father, Derek, had ginger hair and drank cherry cola. He liked British pubs and American baseball. I’m not so sure he wanted children, but he got one anyway and I’m told he liked me very much. Continue.......

Dilma Rousseff in New York declares no grounds for impeachment

Embattled Brazilian president tells foreign media she is the innocent victim of a ‘coup’ and will only leave office if voted out by the electorate The Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff , has told journalists in New York there is “no legal foundation” for her impeachment as she took her fight for political survival into the international ring. After losing a lower house vote that puts her just weeks away from being ejected from office, on Friday Rousseff repeated claims that she was the innocent victim of a “coup” and said she would only give up the fight if the electorate voted against her. Rousseff’s appeal to the Guardian and a handful of other foreign news organisations appears to be a last-ditch attempt to win away after losing catastrophically at home. As a result of recession, political upheaval and a huge corruption scandal, her government is deeply unpopular with the Brazilian media, the country’s Congress and in public opinion. But Rousseff has not been charged with an...

Sally Faulkner's former husband claims he took children to Lebanon due to her 'relationships'

Ali al-Amin’s claim comes as Channel Nine defends involvement in ‘story profoundly in public interest’ The estranged husband of Brisbane woman Sally Faulkner says he took their two children to  Lebanon  because he “just wasn’t OK” with her new partner being prominent in their lives. Ali al-Amin has been speaking to  Australian media  as Channel Nine explicitly defended its involvement in “a story that not only is profoundly in the public interest but also one the public is interested in”. Nine also announced it would fully investigate how four of its staff came to be arrested in Beirut, charged with kidnapping and finally released on Wednesday,  apparently in exchange for compensation . Amin claimed on the Kyle and Jackie O Kiis radio show on Thursday that he decided to take the former couple’s two children, 5-year-old Lahela and Noah, 3, after he “saw a few things happening in regards to Sal’s parenting or relationships”.
