MISS CALIFORNIA USA® & MISS CALIFORNIA TEEN USA® Independently produced by K2 Productions, Inc., Los Angeles, CA. under license from Miss Universe L.P., LLLP. June 10, 2009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: ROGER NEAL@ NEAL PR 714-883-0231- [email protected] The Miss California USA Organization, in conjunction with the Miss Universe Organization and with the blessing of its owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, announced today the termination of Carrie Prejean as MISS CALIFORNIA USA® 2009, citing continued breach of contract issues. “This was a decision based solely on contract violations including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization,” stated MISS CALIFORNIA USA® Executive Director, Keith Lewis. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.” “I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” said Mr. Trump. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision. Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests.” Effective immediately, First Runner-Up, Tami Farrell, will assume the role and responsibilities of MISS CALIFORNIA USA®. Additionally, the Miss Universe Organization will make reigning MISS USA®, Kristen Dalton, and MISS UNIVERSE®, Dayana Mendoza, available to fulfill appearance requests which were previously declined by Ms. Prejean. ### .

THESIS ANXIETIES and ARTIFICIAL WOMEN: DISASSEMBLING the POP CULTURE GYNOID Submitted by Carly Fabian Department of Communicati
THESIS ANXIETIES AND ARTIFICIAL WOMEN: DISASSEMBLING THE POP CULTURE GYNOID Submitted by Carly Fabian Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Katie L. Gibson Kit Hughes Kristina Quynn Copyright by Carly Leilani Fabian 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ANXIETIES AND ARTIFICIAL WOMEN: DISASSEMBLING THE POP CULTURE GYNOID This thesis analyzes the cultural meanings of the feminine-presenting robot, or gynoid, in three popular sci-fi texts: The Stepford Wives (1975), Ex Machina (2013), and Westworld (2017). Centralizing a critical feminist rhetorical approach, this thesis outlines the symbolic meaning of gynoids as representing cultural anxieties about women and technology historically and in each case study. This thesis draws from rhetorical analyses of media, sci-fi studies, and previously articulated meanings of the gynoid in order to discern how each text interacts with the gendered and technological concerns it presents. The author assesses how the text equips—or fails to equip—the public audience with motives for addressing those concerns. Prior to analysis, each chapter synthesizes popular and scholarly criticisms of the film or series and interacts with their temporal contexts. Each chapter unearths a unique interaction with the meanings of gynoid: The Stepford Wives performs necrophilic fetishism to alleviate anxieties about the Women’s Liberation Movement; Ex Machina redirects technological anxieties towards the surveilling practices of tech industries, simultaneously punishing exploitive masculine fantasies; Westworld utilizes fantasies and anxieties cyclically in order to maximize its serial potential and appeal to impulses of its viewership, ultimately prescribing a rhetorical placebo.

Controversial Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean Is Having a Baby Boy,Carrie Prejean Weds Raiders Quarterback
Controversial Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean is Having a Baby Boy After their July wedding, Carrie Prejean and Kyle Boller are proud to announce that they’re not only pregnant but are expecting a baby boy on May 9, 2011. Us Weekly reports that Prejean, the controversial Miss California USA 2009 who was stripped of her crown for alleged breaches in contract, is happy about having a boy and becoming a mother. But is the beauty queen concerned about the baby weight? Prejean’s husband, Oakland Raider’s quarterback Kyle Boller, made it clear that he has “the most beautiful pregnant wife ever.” What can you do to make your pregnant partner feel beautiful? Cupid’s Advice: As the months go by and the baby weight piles on, pregnancy can make a woman feel anything, but beautiful. Prove her wrong by borrowing a few of these ideas: 1. Book the spa: If your partner is feeling a little down, surprise her by mentioning that you booked her a prenatal massage at the spa. It’ll show her that she’s still on your mind. Plus, a little rest is always appreciated. 2. Romance her: Bring back date night, and make sure she dresses to the nines. A romantic dinner will help remind her just how much you love being in her company. 3. Spice it up: Being pregnant can make some women feel the farthest thing from sexy. Buy some maternity lingerie, and rekindle the romance. Show her that you still find her beautiful. Carrie Prejean Weds Raiders Quarterback Former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, married Oakland Raiders quarterback, Kyle Boller, last weekend, reported E! Online.
