I am extremely honoured to announce that I will be granted an interview with Alice Schwarzer end of May. It is not at all that easy getting an interview with her. It will be very interesting because, while I do not agree with all her points and attitudes, I do highly appreciate what she and women like her have done for our generation. Now, it is our turn to find our bearings and continue working on making this world a better place. In one of her lectures, she said: “We offer the new generation our shoulders to stand upon and climb even higher.” We should say “Thank you” and resist moving backwards.
I have also been offered to write for her magazine Emma, which will be a big honour for me. Now let’s see if the offer will be withdrawn once Barbie is out in German – as I learned, the book (and I) can be seen as both feminist but also anti-feminist. Laudonplace claims that this depends on if I am having enough sex or not. Hmmm, interesting times ahead.
And here the second announcement: Von der Barbie zum Vibrator will be out in German on 26 May 2009.
I am one happy, happy, happy person!

P.S. My publisher proposed a Tajder brand – Tajder Home, Tajder Beauty, Tajder Style. How about “Pimp my Tajder”?
