  • Facilitator Fact Sheet
    The Body Project: Facilitator Fact Sheet 1. Fashion Magazines (According to former fashion magazine editor; International Conference on Eating Disorders) Function of a fashion magazine: To convince women that something is wrong with them (e.g., hair, body, sex life, etc.) so that they can sell their product (i.e., the content of the magazine) to fix it. The more anxious they make you, the more likely you will buy the magazine and the larger their readership, which increases advertising sales. How they convince you something is wrong o Lead articles: Pulitzer Prize winning article on eating disorders or cancer not going to win author a big bonus. However, writing an article which produces the following title will: “You never knew what your butt looked like from the rear! Strategies for a better behind.” o Idealized images: Digital enhancement, make-up, clothes pinning etc. At this editor’s magazine, many of the key staff had eating disorders due to a culture of disordered eating and weight/shape attitudes. o Couldn’t bring food onto the floor, because it was too upsetting for some staff o One woman brought scale to work and moved scale around bathroom floor until she got an acceptable weight. 2. Advertising Strategies A. Physical Tactics Bras are stuffed with pads to fill out the front of a dress that is too loose. Padded underwear is also used to fill out the back of a dress. Duct-tape is often used to tape breasts together to create cleavage. Girdles are used to squeeze the flesh of models into a dress sample size that is too small.

  • Resident and a Former James Bond, Lent a Touch of Secret Agent Glamour
    Monaco Royal Wedding: Prince Albert & Charlene Wittstock Marry In Religious Ceremony (PHOTOS) 6/26/12 4:23 PM Throughout the ceremony, which lasted an hour and a half, both bride and groom wore demure expressions, their eyes mostly downcast. Only as they took their vows and exchanged rings did the solemn facade crack: As they slipped on the 18 carat white gold Cartier rings onto each other's fingers, Albert – in a white military uniform – shot her a wink, and Charlene cracked a broad, sincere smile. BACK TO ARTICLE SHARE 6 / 64 THIS TheSLIDE tears flowed freely down the new princess' face after the ceremony, as she left her bouquet of lilies ADVERTISEMENTof the valley and other white blossoms at the Sainte Devote church – a tradition in Monaco. With photographers shouting for the attention of the A-list guests as they streamed into the palace, the wedding had something of the flavor of a star-studded red carpet at the film festival in neighboring Cannes. British actor Roger Moore, a longtime Monaco resident and a former James Bond, lent a touch of secret agent glamour. The carpet might as well have been a catwalk for British model Naomi Campbell and Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova – or for Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, who cut a mean figure in his skintight suit. Royal guests included the kings of Sweden and Belgium and Denmark's crown princess. Prince Karim Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of the world's Ismaili Muslims, and Empress Farah Pahlavi, wife of Iran's deposed shah, chatted with former French first CURRENT TOP 5 SLIDES lady Bernadette Chirac inside the palace.

    Madeline Stuart “Through modelling I am changing society’s view of people with Disabilities. Exposure is creating awareness, acceptance, and inclusion” Madeline’s Story Madeline is a unique 20-year-old model from Brisbane, Australia. Madeline notably, has been dubbed by the press as not only a Super Model, but “the world’s most famous model with Down syndrome”. This incredibly courageous, beautiful, and talented young woman has had astonishing success in the short time she has been modelling, and has captured media attention both in Australia and internationally. As with many people with Down syndrome, Madeline struggled with her weight for a long time, and in early 2015 she decided to get healthy and chase after her dreams which included dance. She lost over 20kg, and is now chang- ing society’s perception of people with disabilities, one photo shoot at a time. Madeline’s career started when Maddy attended a Fashion Parade late 2015 with her mum and said to her mum “mum me model”. Rosanne knew it would take a lot of work and dedication, and told Madeline if she wanted to commit to the journey, she would fully support her. After Madeline lost a few more kilos of weight, Rosanne (Madeline's Mum) created social media accounts and posted a ‘before and after’ photo online to show the results and to encourage others. Rosanne was very confident that the story Madeline had to share with the world would travel around the globe, long before it actually hit the internet. Just as predicted, the photo went viral.

  • A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Beauty Advertisemnets by Maybelline: the 80’S and the Present
    A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE BEAUTY ADVERTISEMNETS BY MAYBELLINE: THE 80’S AND THE PRESENT Faranak Modaresi a thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts (MA) in General Linguistics at University of Amsterdam JUNE 2016 Supervisor: Ineke Vedder Co-Supervisor: Petra Sleeman 1 Acknowledgment I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the people who helped me through my studies. Foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Ineke Vedder for her continuous assistance and guidance. I would also like to thank my mother and my brother for all their love and support. 2 Abstract The research at hand employed a critical approach towards the discourse of advertising in order to ascertain the linguistic and visual features of the persuasive language in the beauty ads of the well-known cosmetics brand of Maybelline, during the 80’s and the time period of 2015-2016. The three-dimensional analytical model of Fairclough (1992) was used for the purpose of this research. The findings suggest that the beauty advertisements of both time periods employ different grammatical cohesive devices and lexical cohesive devices. However, there are a number of differences in the type of the features they employed in the advertisements. The advertising texts in the past were more cohesive with the use of a lot of lexical and grammatical cohesive devices. The sentences were longer and had a more complex structure in the past. The visual elements of the ads have also showed a slight change.
