Iconic Fashionistas: Is It The Clothes or The Way They Wore Them?

Iconic Fashionistas: Is It The Clothes or The Way They Wore Them? | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.avintagenerd.com - May 9, 2014 4:34 PM

But now that we know many of these starlets were dressed to impressed by professionals (and taught by these said professionals ie Givenchy, Chanel, and Edith Head to name a few-what looked best on them) have you wondered if they became the icons of fashion because of the clothes they wore or how they wore them?

Sexual Objectification: What It Is, Why It's Damaging, And How We Change It

Sexual Objectification: What It Is, Why It's Damaging, And How We Change It | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.upworthy.com - January 30, 2014 4:36 PM
Sexual objectification is not only deeply (and bizarrely) rooted in our cultural subconscious, but it's also something that has to change if we want a truly happy, sex-healthy society.

It's very hard for men to see women as people versus sexual objects. They have been trained by media/ TV, their peers, their family and etc for all the years of their lives.

Beauty Is In The Lies Of The Beholder: What You Didn't Know About The Modeling Industry

Beauty Is In The Lies Of The Beholder: What You Didn't Know About The Modeling Industry | Herstory | Scoop.it

Women are often worried about how they look and that's not superficial. We know that our appearance has nothing to do with how smart, creative, or hardworking we are, but it plays powerfully into what society decides we are worth.

Body Image In Art, Porn & Media - Sex~Kitten.net

Body Image In Art, Porn & Media - Sex~Kitten.net | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.sex-kitten.net - February 23, 2013 7:24 PM

Much is written on the effects of porn and female body image. Some complain fearfully of men who will, upon viewing porn, expect all women to have those bodies; others that women themselves fall into this trap and try to emulate such unrealistic things with their own bodies. Of course, these accusations and reservations aren't only reserved for pornographic materials, but magazines, television, any media.

 

And while you may think that I'm going to rant about how stupid this is, how silly it is to believe that people will be so affected by these images that they'd let ~ no force ~ them to be their realities, I'm not.

Re-Touching the Consequences of Extreme Thinness

Re-Touching the Consequences of Extreme Thinness | Herstory | Scoop.it
From thesocietypages.org - June 13, 2012 5:46 AM

"This isn’t, then, about shaming naturally thin women, it’s about (1) calling out an industry that requires women to be unhealthy and then hides the harmful consequences and (2) acknowledging that even people who are a part of that industry don’t necessarily have the power to change it."

An opinionated woman obsessed with objects, entertained by ephemera, intrigued by researching, fascinated by culture & addicted to writing. The wind says my name; doesn't put an @ in front of it, so maybe you don't notice. http://www.kitsch-slapped.com
