MADONNA AND ROCCO IN THE SWISS ALPS

Who knew Madonna liked to ski? She gathered all her kids and her New York entourage to spend the holidays in a chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland, the land of winter sports. The proud mom documented her 9 year old twin daughters Estere and Stelle’s progress with their ski instructor, but we have yet to observe Madonna in action on the slopes. It’s always fun to see her son Rocco because he is so addicted to fashion and loves retro style…

THE DIVINE ORDER REVEALS SWITZERLAND’S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

Suddenly it turns out that Switzerland is not the superior progressive country we always thought it was! Screenwriter/director Petra Volpe has let us in on Switzerland’s dirty little secret in her new movie The Divine Order – women didn’t get the vote there until 1971! Impossible to believe, but TRUE. Switzerland’s patriarchal system kept women oppressed THAT long! Despite the timely subject matter, the movie, about small town women waking up to the desire for equality, is charming, sometimes funny, and quite likeable. The best part about it is it teaches men what they did and still do wrong. It’s a nice lesson to be learned.
