		<description><![CDATA[Colombiamoda, Colombia’s Fashion Week, is held in Medellín every year. What seems to most shock foreign fashion reporters is the culture of “narco-beauty” -- basically, big fake boobs and bums, paid for by drug traffickers, a trend that has permeated most of Medellín. With the the free trade agreement now in effect between Colombia and the U.S., expect to see more of Colombia’s fine denim, lingerie and textiles.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingaboutcolombia.com&#038;blog=13516551&#038;post=1811&#038;subd=pkling&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The “motollevo” -- planks of wood dragged by old motorcycles over abandoned railroad tracks -- is considered “mass” transportation in the isolated hamlets of Quinchía in Risaralda department in coffee country. Its residents complain they have been abandoned by the State. The “motollevo” is an example of how badly Colombia is lacking infrastructure.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingaboutcolombia.com&#038;blog=13516551&#038;post=1792&#038;subd=pkling&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It will be funded by an arm of the U.S. Department of Defense, which produces propaganda to influence foreign audiences. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingaboutcolombia.com&#038;blog=13516551&#038;post=1781&#038;subd=pkling&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The FARC proposed giving land to the poor and limiting how much property big landowners can have. Meanwhile, the government has insisted no land will be taken from private landowners, but acknowledged that rural development and distribution of land are key to achieving peace. The FARC reject the idea of legal prosecution for their war crimes -- but Colombia is a State party to the International Criminal Court. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingaboutcolombia.com&#038;blog=13516551&#038;post=1773&#038;subd=pkling&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been more than two years since inmate privileges at the military prison were first reported. But the inmates -- some convicted of 40 years in prison for committing grave human rights crimes -- continue to enjoy the same privileges. They visit family and stay away from prison for two weeks at a time. They vacation at beaches and pool resorts. They shop in Bogota. They frequent brothels. Some even live in luxury condominiums. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingaboutcolombia.com&#038;blog=13516551&#038;post=1770&#038;subd=pkling&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
