The Power of Body+Appearance

Helen Keller was less than two years old when she came down with a fever. It struck dramatically and left her unconscious. The fever went just as suddenly. But she was blinded and, very soon after, deaf. She struggled to master language but later she could finally grasp Braille, and proved she could communicate in the world of sight and sound. But her dream was big, she wanted to be a German Chancellor. She said, "We have the freedom to be as extraordinary as the sighted."

Being rejected by the audience/citizens of Germany because of she was handicapped, she said, "My sympathies are with all who struggle for justice." Thus she tried some ways to impress the audience. Keller loved the audience and wrote that she adored "the warm tide of human life pulsing round and round me." That's why the stage appealed to her, why she learned to speak and to deliver speeches.

She created another tactic to impress the citizens. She created daily menus, and these are her daily meals. For her breakfast every morning, she drinks water with lemon and vinegar to detox her system. For breakfast, she'll have green tea, fresh fruit salad with yoghurt and muesli or two pieces of rye toast with avocado and boiled eggs. For lunch, she stocks up on protein at lunchtime. Fresh tuna salad with spelt crispbread, plus more water and dandelion tea keep her going even on long shoots. For dinner, she steers clear of potatoes, but says that she indulges in roasted vegetables like sweet potato, pumpkin and greens with her dinner. She also runs, boxes and does strength training with a personal trainer. She also practises yoga daily.

A few months later, came up Posters showing the ample decolletage of German chancellor that have been distributed ahead of the country's general election next month. She appears in a lowcut dress alongside Vera Lengsfeld, a parliamentary candidate and member of the chancellor's Christian Democratic Union party, whose CLEAVAGE is also on display. Below the poster is the slogan: 'We have more to offer.' The 57-year-old candidate has hung 750 posters in her district and local media have reported a few stolen as souvenirs. Her look on the poster makes men go weak at the knees. It has been claimed to be very effective to attract the citizens, as it is also said over 17,000 people had visited her election blog since she shot into the public eye.
Thus the power of appearance actually exists! :)
