Add this to the work that also inspired Shepard Fairey. There is something to be said about the art that a Presidency inspires. Reagan, for example, created a fertile breeding ground for Aaron Spelling's Dynasty. (posted to Singing the Song of Obama)
Love Betty White. My favorite part of the SAG Awards, after Betty stealing the show, was when George Clooney took the stage and thanked her for being "discrete" about mentioning her sexual conquests on her way to getting that Lifetime (posted to Betty White is Still Golden)
Love this post. Lindsay's triumph -- the most compelling of the Olympics thus far -- will hopefully spark a renewed interest in women's sports (particularly among young future athletes). (posted to Women Olympians Face Unique Challenges)
KC productions has been on top of the crisis from Haiti since Kenneth Cole's first tweet on the subject as the events were unfolding on the ground. Way to promote social awearness. (posted to Kenneth Cole Supports Haiti Relief Efforts)

It's very good that Edwards want to build a hosoital. It's very good intention. There are not much people today who want to make such step. ShaynaS said that What started as an effort to get shoes to underprivileged communities (posted to Help Anthony Edwards Build A Hospital)

I would differentiate between government and private ownership of clean drinking water. You don't, but I do not think they are the same thing with regards to municipal water systems. Also, I did not say that free utilities should be (posted to Robert Kennedy Jr: "Don't Privatize Water")

Women also weren't allowed to run marathons for the same reason -- too fragile -- until Kathrine Switzer registered under her initials only to compete in the 1967 Boston Marathon. Race officials tried dragging her off the course, but her (posted to Women Olympians Face Unique Challenges)

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.

Hard Times

Poverty. Unemployment. Homelessness. Social insecurity. For issues like these we really need to spare some change. Give us your two cents to help put a hot meal of content on this table for others to consume, and give those less fortunate than ourselves some credit.

Political Landscape

This terrain can be highly treacherous. Watch your step as you navigate the sifting sands of political agendas and government policies. Hopefully we can wipe away the slinging mud and scroll around for the truth that rarely dares to surface.

Social Rights

Equality. Remember that? It's a mythical utopia most of us are still searching for. Let's stand up for the minorities and the moral injustices that many have to face every day. Let's discriminate against discrimination. Does that sound fair to you?

Well-Being

Without our health, we have nothing. There are many things out there trying to harm us: AIDS; Pollution; Global Warming; Bird Flu; Medical bills. Some are natural, some are man-made, and unfortunately for us the list is endless. More posts here might be just the medicine we need.

Join me in raising social
awareness. Together we
can take steps towards
making a difference.
