Using a methodology based on Judith Butler’s gender theory, it examines how femininity is perceived and presented and argues that clothes are essential to female characterisation and both the perpetuation and breakdown of gender stereotypes. -

Rock Is Life
Rock Is Life http://www.rock-is-life.com/reviewsinbrief.htm Reviews In Brief (2007) (2006) (2005) (2004) 2007 STARZ Greatest Hits Live MVD Entertainment Group 2007 "The live collection of the 70’s rockers greatest hits seems to capture the band in fine form. The CD is compiled from at least 3 different performances and while I found the sound to be adequate to mediocre, the quality of their material does seem to shine through. While I wouldn’t put the band in my own personal Top 10 of 1970’s rockers, they are pretty good. I think it is a shame I wasn’t musically aware in the 70’s because I probably would have liked the band. They’ve got a lively and energetic sound tied to that particular era and it does keep the ears engaged, even during the first half of the disc where the quality of the recording isn’t even as good as some bootlegs I’ve listened to over the years. The audio quality is the biggest problem I had with the entire disc. I think if you are going to reissue this type of album, you really need to make the sound more Official Site presentable than what a typical bootlegger could accomplish. You want to check out tracks like “Detroit Girls”, “Any Way That You Want It”, and “Cherry Baby” in particular, but surprisingly at least to me, each song is pretty good. Search Amazon: If you like the 70’s rock era, you probably know of the band. You’ll definitely like this release. -

Retro House Dress Apron
MS. DIOR’S Retro House Dress Apron by Trish Vernazza 1952 was the year of “double-duty” fashion. !is was a reflection of the economy, the drab aftermath of the deprivations of World War II, and the need for practically. Women desired fashionable, flirty, and sophisticated styles in their wardrobe. !ere was a need for a combination of sweaters, skirts, and blouses to create a larger wardrobe along with a staple of day dresses. !e housedress served both as a cover-up and a dressing gown. Worn in the day and removed before early evening, they were a necessary staple for household chores or running out to do daily errands. Made out of simple, washable fabrics, they still needed to be feminine, stylish, and easy to put on and remove. Some housedresses even came with a matching oven glove! Ultra-feminine designs abounded that showcased tiny waists, huge skirts, and rounded shoulders. Christian Dior was, at the time, the most famous couturier that established Paris as the leader of world fashion. On a Paris street, a well-dressed young woman in a copy of Dior’s New Look had the clothes nearly torn off her body by enraged housewives. When it was time to create a new collection, Christian Dior had a ritual: He would retreat to his garden and sit among the flowers. !is is where he would sketch out his designs, inspired by what was blooming. As Dior once said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.” Other designers wanted to shock, to impress, to dress the working woman, or to pursue an artistic ideal. -

Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999
Paul McCartney from Wings through the 90's McCartney II Columbia FC‐36511 May 21, 1980 About ten years after recording McCartney by himself, Paul got several songs together and recorded them‐‐again alone‐‐on somewhat of a lark. Then Paul embarked on his ill‐fated 1980 tour of Japan (which resulted in his being jailed for drug possession). After returning to the safety of his own home, he was urged to release the album, and he did. The album contrasts well with McCartney, for this second production contains numerous instruments and electronic tricks that were not present on the 1970 release. Side One is particularly interesting. The solo version of "Coming Up" is followed by the fun track, "Temporary Secretary" (released as a single in England). The almost‐lament, "On the Way," is then succeeded by "Waterfalls," Paul's second (US) single from the album. "Bogey Music," from Side Two, is also a standout. John Lennon heard a song from McCartney II and thought that Paul sounded sad. When the album was released in the US, a bonus one‐sided single ‐‐ the hit version of "Coming Up"‐‐was included with the LP. This hit was enough to propel the album to the #3 position on the charts, during a time when disco was now on the wane. "Waterfalls" Columbia 1‐11335 Jul. 22, 1980 The lovely ballad about protectiveness was one of the standouts from McCartney II. After "Coming Up," it received the most airplay and the most positive response from Paul's friends. As a single, though, the song fared poorly, only reaching #83...one of Paul's worst showings to date. -
Nelly Don's 1916 Pink Gingham Apron Frock: an Illustration of the Middle
Whang and Haar Fashion and Textiles 2014, 1:18 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40691-014-0018-1 RESEARCH Open Access Nelly Don’s 1916 pink gingham apron frock: an illustration of the middle-class American housewife’s shifting role from producer to consumer Mikyoung Whang1* and Sherry Haar2 * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract 1Communication and Fine Arts, Centenary College, 400 Jefferson St., Nelly Don created a stylish, practical, affordable pink gingham housedress in 1916, Hackettstown, NJ 07840, USA quickly selling out her first order of 216 dresses at Peck’s Dry Goods Company in Full list of author information is Kansas City. This study investigated the reasons behind the success of her dress, available at the end of the article and found that during the early 20th century, women’s roles shifted from that of producer to consumer, and that clothing was a visible reflection of this shift. Specific design attributes and social appeal contributed to the success of the housedress. Integrating trendy design elements into an affordable housedress along with the growing demand for a stylish, yet practical housedress induced by consumption culture in the early 20th century facilitated the success of Nelly Don’s pink gingham housedress. As such, Nelly Don’s 1916 housedress reflected social and cultural change in this transitional period, and exemplified the shifting role of the middle-class American housewife by offering an alternative to the traditional Mother Hubbard housedress as well as a lifestyle free of long hours spent sewing. Keywords: Nelly Don; Housedress; Consumerism; Housewife; Women’sroles Introduction Nell Donnelly Reed (maiden name, Ellen Quinlan) (1889–1991) (Figure 1), often called “The grand lady of the garment industry,” established the Donnelly Garment Company (DGC) in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri, with her first husband, Paul Donnelly (Snider 1991). -
Accompanying Label Information for Respect the Dress Exhibit
Accompanying Label Content for Virtual Tour of Respect the Dress: Clothing and Activism In U.S. Women’s History Section I: Introduction R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Dress: Clothing and Activism in U.S. Women’s History The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. It took many decades for advocates to reach the successful passage of federal-level suffrage for women in the United States. In the century that followed, challenges toward women’s right to vote, to hold office, and to participate fully and completely in American society remain. Advocates for and against women’s expanded rights have used clothing to define or support their mission. From bloomer costumes to bra burning, the story of women’s rights activism in the United States is filled with references to how women dress. Radical fashion choices are often given as examples revealing the equally radical behaviors of activists. Yet few women adopted the dress reform style known as bloomers in the 1850s or burned their bras during the women’s liberation movement protests in the 1970s. The 19th Amendment legally prohibited voter discrimination based on sex. Suffragists, the name U.S. activists advocating for women’s voting rights called themselves, played on and influenced the 1910s fashion for white lacy dresses, allowing them to express affiliation with women’s rights advocacy while also maintaining a less radical choice in dress. Suffragists used the three colors of white, purple, and yellow for sashes, buttons, and flags. Feminists in the 1970s and in the new millennium continue to wear these colors as a signal of support to earlier activists. -
