  • Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film
    Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film By Kendra Marston A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Arts in Film Victoria University of Wellington 2010 Abstract This thesis proposes to analyse the representation of female adolescence in the contemporary teen makeover film. The study will situate this body of films within the context of the current postfeminist age, which I will argue has bred specific fears both of and for the female adolescent. This thesis will examine the construction of the initial wayward makeover protagonist, paying attention to why she needs to be trained in an idealised gender performance that has as its urgent goal the assurance of heteronormativity and ‘healthy’ sex role power relations. I will also analyse the representation of deviant adolescent female characters in terms of how their particular brand of postfeminist female masquerade masks a power and status-oriented agenda. The behaviour of these characters is shown to impact negatively on the peer group within the film, and is particularly dangerous as it threatens to negate the need for romance. 1 Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One 23 Chapter Two 62 Chapter Three 86 Chapter Four 112 Conclusion 132 Bibliography 143 Filmography 153 Television Sources 155 Internet Sources 157 2 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Sean Redmond for the time he put in to helping me with this thesis, as well as for the encouragement, support and advice offered. 3 Introduction My Moment of Awakening in the Makeover Moment While watching The Princess Diaries (Garry Marshall, 2001) for the purpose of this research, I became fascinated by the particular tone of its makeover scene.

Most significantly, our fourth quarter was very strong, with more than double the earnings of Q4 in 2002, underscoring our confidence in generating growth in the new year. Equally important, we delivered free cash flow for the year that was up more than 50 percent over last year and continued to bolster our balance sheet.

The awards ceremony will be held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites on Sunday, May 1st. The Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards will also be held at the Bonaventure on Friday, April 29th, 2016. The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award Nominations were revealed today on the Emmy-winning show, “The Talk,” on CBS. “After last year’s critically successful Daytime telecast, it is with great disappointment that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announces that there will not be a broadcast of the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy ® Awards,” said Bob Mauro, President. “After months of negotiations to find show sponsorship, the NATAS Executive Board has decided that the current climate for awards shows prohibits the possibility of a telecast this year. With that said, we will be putting on a world-class awards celebration honoring the best and brightest of Daytime television and look forward to an exciting show. All efforts regarding returning the annual gala to television in 2017 are underway.” “We are especially grateful for our passionate Daytime fans and are looking forward to producing a grand gala that honors the talents and artistries of all the professionals that represent Daytime television,” said David Michaels, SVP, Daytime Emmy Awards.

  • Food Network Shifts Toward Gastro-Entertainment -- Newsday.Com
    Newsday.com Food Network shifts toward gastro-entertainment By Erica Marcus [email protected] February 11, 2008 At 6 a.m. on Nov. 22, 1993, a handful of early risers turned on their TVs and were greeted by Donna Hanover and David Rosengarten, co-hosts of a show called "Food News & Views" on a cable channel called the TV Food Network. At 7 a.m., Robin Leach, formerly of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," anchored the call-in show "Talking Food." For the next 22 hours, the two programs alternated with each other, along with two airings of "Getting Healthy" with former sportscaster Gayle Gardner. Now, almost 15 years later, Hanover is famous for being the publicly spurned wife of then-mayor, now- presidential flameout Rudy Giuliani. Rosengarten edits the Rosengarten Report, a high-end gastronomic newsletter. Leach was last seen hosting VH1's "The Surreal Life: Fame Games." And the Food Network is going strong. In 2007, it had 90 million subscribers, which, according to Derek Baine, cable analyst with SNL Kagan, puts it on a par with such cable stalwarts as ESPN, Nickelodeon and MTV. "It's a mature network, it's got almost-complete penetration in multichannel homes." Although 24-hour ratings fell a bit from 2006 to 2007, he said, the drop was not dramatic, and the prime- time numbers increased. "It's still growing," Baine said, "and cash flow is up about 10 percent since last year." Since its inception, Food Network has spawned such larger-than-life personalities as Emeril Lagasse, Iron Chef's Chairman Kaga and Rachael Ray; it has introduced new exclamations ("Bam!," "Allez Cuisine!" and "Yum-O!" respectively), and taken cooking shows from the rarefied world of public television into the very heart of Middle America.
