Monumental mistake
There has been a rash of vandalism of historical landmarks in Europe by unruly tourists. On 23 August, the 460-year-old Vasari Corridor, a beautiful riverside passageway connected to the famous Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy, was sprayed with soccer-related graffiti. Local police used video surveillance footage to identify the vandals, two German students aged 20 and 21, who were staying with other students at a nearby Airbnb. The video footage showed the two spraying black paint on the arches of the elevated passageway running along the Arno River at 5:20 a.m. Italy’s Culture Ministry said the vandalism would require 10,000 euros worth of repairs, CNN reported. Police tracked the location of the two vandals and a search of their room yielded the evidence: two cans of black spray paint and paint-stained clothing. Uffizi Director Eike Schmidt called for the jailing of vandals defacing cultural heritage sites to deter similar violations in the future. In Brussels, Belgium, an Irish tourist visiting the local stock exchange known as The Bourse fancied the statues at the entrance of the building a day after it reopened on 9 September following three years of renovations that cost 90 million euros. A police officer caught on his camera the drunk Irishman climbing on the statue of a naked torch bearer beside a statue of a lion to have his picture taken. When the tourist was dismounting, he held onto the hand with the torch, breaking it with his weight. Police later arrested the Irishman in a nearby fast food restaurant, according to reports. The tourist was charged the cost of repairing the statue, a staggering 17,600 euros. The post Monumental mistake appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Escape from Maui
Tourists trapped in the burning seaside town of Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii said they were stuck in hotels without electricity for days, ran low on food and left a warzone when they evacuated. "We were stuck in our rooms for three days. It was very scary because there was no light. We couldn't use our phones. We couldn't call family," Lorraina Peterson, 46, said. "The elevator stopped running and some people were stuck inside the elevator," Peterson, who was honeymooning on the paradise island when the wildfire trapped her and hundreds of others in their hotel, added. Guests were finally evacuated to the airport when the hotel ran out of food, she said. Tourists were taken to the airport in school buses, where they were met by volunteers distributing sandwiches and water. Canadian Brandon Wilson, who had traveled to Hawaii with his wife to celebrate their 25th anniversary, recalled that fires cut the power to their AirBnB two days after they arrived in Maui. By Thursday morning, they were running low on food and had no cash to buy groceries, so they decided to try to leave. "As we drove through Lahaina it looked like a warzone," he told Agence France-Presse. "It really looks like somebody came along just bombed the whole town. It's completely devastated." The death toll from the disaster rose to 53, Maui County officials said Thursday. Brushfires on the west coast of Hawaii's Maui island — fueled by high winds from a nearby hurricane — broke out Tuesday and rapidly engulfed Lahaina. The flames moved so quickly that many were caught off-guard, trapped in the streets or jumping into the ocean in a desperate bid to escape. Governor Josh Green said 80 percent of the town was gone.

Pretty in pink: ‘Barbie’ marketing blitz hits fever pitch
Hollywood A-listers have been walking red carpets in hot pink, glitter is back, and companies from The Gap to Burger King are doing rose-colored collaborations: "Barbie" mania is everywhere as the hotly anticipated film hits theaters worldwide. Toy maker Mattel, who first unveiled the iconic doll in 1959, has reached about 100 licensing agreements for everything from roller skates to toothbrushes in connection to director Greta Gerwig's summer flick. Of course, Barbie is big in the beauty world too -- lipsticks, blushes and mirrors all bear the famous logo. "In the 30 years that I have been tracking and analyzing box offices and trends, I've never quite seen anything like this before," said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore. "Barbie is tailor-made for marketing," he said. "It's perfect because Barbie is a toy, it's already a product, and beyond that, it's a lifestyle and a color." The movie, which stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as boyfriend Ken, has been hyped as one of the biggest blockbusters of the season, with numerous premieres held around the globe ahead of Friday's debut in US theaters. Of course, that promotion blitz has been curtailed at the 11th hour, with Hollywood actors now on strike over pay and other conditions. But the list of corporate partners is sure to keep the buzz going. Microsoft, Forever 21, Ulta Beauty, Hot Wheels, Chevrolet and even Progressive insurance are among the companies looking to cash in on Barbie mania. The influential color company Pantone even has a shade to match the zeitgeist: 219C is officially Barbie Pink. Mattel has even reached a deal with rival toy giant Hasbro, which will release a Barbie version of the classic board game Monopoly in the fall. In exchange, Mattel will showcase "Transformers" on its Uno card game in connection with a Hasbro film release. 'Irresistible' Robbie has embraced Barbiecore fashion at premieres around the world, recreating some of the doll's most iconic looks, but the Barbie lifestyle trend is also full steam ahead Airbnb is offering up a stay at Barbie's "Malibu DreamHouse" for two nights in connection with the film's debut. "Placed perfectly above the beach with panoramic views, this life-size toy pink mansion is a dream come true!" reads the listing. Singer John Legend and his model wife Chrissy Teigen took the plunge, posting a series of pictures on Instagram of their stay at the hot pink property. The most ubiquitous shade of pink used on the Warner Bros film's set, a retro bubblegum hue made by Rosco, was used in such great quantities that the shoot has been blamed for a global shortage. "It's just become a very irresistible proposition," said Dergarabedian, crediting both Warner Bros and Mattel with ensuring the buzz had staying power. Dergarabedian expects a strong opening weekend for Barbie, with around $75 million in North American ticket sales. 'Barbenheimer' The film is opening in parallel with another big Hollywood entry, the Christopher Nolan-directed "Oppenheimer," a biopic about the father of the atomic bomb. The unlikely face-off between the dark historical thriller and a fuchsia-tinted romp about a doll has created online buzz about a phenomenon dubbed "Barbenheimer." Dergarabedian said the coincidental timing of the openings had contributed to "unprecedented" fodder about the films on social media and beyond. Both movies are opening on the heels of another big-screen blockbuster, "Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part One," which led the domestic box office last weekend. A starry soundtrack includes tracks from Dua Lipa (who also appears in the film), Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, who recorded a cover of "Barbie Girl," a 1997 hit by Danish-Norwegian band Aqua. The original recording actually prompted a lengthy but unsuccessful trademark lawsuit by Mattel. The company subsequently embraced the song. The movie's arrival has also not been without controversy. Barbie has been banned in Vietnam over a scene with a fictitious world map criticized for allegedly showing China's claims in the disputed South China Sea. The Philippines allowed the film to be shown -- but asked that the map be blurred. The post Pretty in pink: ‘Barbie’ marketing blitz hits fever pitch appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
