Meet Boris the Eggplant!

He May Not Be Organic, But He’s 100% Heart.

Boris the eggplant resembles  a friendly purple eggplant with blonde hair, big eyes, and a wide smile, walking with arms open wide.

Challenging Toxic Masculinity One Eggplant at a Time -

Large, slightly curved, and pumping with excitement, Boris isn’t one to hide his enthusiasm. He rises to the occasion, he’s got the stamina for long conversations, he forms incredibly deep connections, and Boris always leaves a lasting impression.

That’s because he’s got BDE…

Boundaries. Decency. And Empathy.

The alley is lined with warm-colored buildings, potted plants, and vintage lanterns. A tall tower can be seen in the background under a clear blue sky.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Connection is.

Born under the Barcelona sun amidst the land of possibility, Boris is no ordinary eggplant—he’s the official mascot of BF Media Lounge and a bold symbol of emotional resilience, positive masculinity, and radical self-love. Equal parts philosopher, cheerleader, and comedic sidekick, with just a dash of existential seasoning, Boris understands the goal isn’t perfection. It’s Connection, and he’s ready to “Turn Up The Positivity!" 

Though he once struggled with feeling "not enough"—especially after learning he wasn’t organic—Boris transformed that shame into a superpower.

Now he and Anne-Cécile are on a mission to help others feel seen, supported, and celebrated. In a world that often feels cynical, judgemental, and cold, Boris is the physically purple, emotionally-available friend cheering you on and reminding you of your worth.

When he’s not stealing the spotlight on merch or dropping wisdom bombs on socials, you’ll find Boris chilling in the fridge (hydrated, of course) contemplating the state of the world from the middle shelf. Because in a world that can forget to be kind, sometimes you have to grab it by the Boris and remember to Turn Up The Positivity.
