  • How Do I Get the Best from My Trash the Dress Session?
    How do I get the best from my Trash the Dress session? This is a photo shoot with a bride or a couple after their wedding where the bride can rock her wedding gown again and the groom can pretty much rock what he wants. The s hoot can be days after the wedding or years after the wedding. This kind of shoot just oozes with creativity and fabulousness! The key to these shoots is that there can be control over more variables then on a wedding day like waiting until it's a sunny da y, choosing the time of day with perfect light, and selecting a variety of locations without worrying about time or access. For brides this is a great opportunity to make a beautiful/sexy portrait as an anniversary gift. What do I wear to this sort of shoot? It's your chance to wear your wedding dress again! Your partner can where a suit, button down and jeans...really whatever you guys want depending on the look of the shoot you are going for. Sometimes a groom will purchase an inexpensive suit for the shoot so that they won't worry about ruining one of their own! However grooms, if your bride is cool with you rocking jeans for a more casual look, I am down. You may have accessories you would like to wear with the outfits that you wouldn’t on your wedding day ie: gumboots, high stilettos, leather jacket. Once you are ready we head out for a creative, fun, and (most importantly) relaxed shoot.

  • Rethinking Feminism in Early Modern Studies
    RETHINKING FEMINISM IN EARLY MODERN STUDIES Rethinking Feminism in Early Modern Studies is a volume of essays by leading scholars in the field of early modern studies on the history, present state, and future possibilities of feminist criticism and theory. It responds to current anxieties that feminist criticism is in a state of decline by attending to debates and differences that have emerged in light of ongoing scholarly discussions of race, affect, sexuality, and transnationalism-work that compels us continually to reassess our definitions of ‘women’ and gender. Rethinking Feminism demonstrates how studies of early modern literature, history, and culture can contribute to a reimagination of feminist aims, methods, and objects of study at this historical juncture. While the scholars contributing to Rethinking Feminism have very different interests and methods, they are united in their conviction that early modern studies must be in dialogue with, and indeed contribute to, larger theoretical and political debates about gender, race, and sexuality, and to the relationship between these areas. To this end, the essays not only analyze literary texts and cultural practices to shed light on early modern ideology and politics, but also address metacritical questions of methodology and theory. Taken together, they show how a consciousness of the complexity of the past allows us to rethink the genealogies and historical stakes of current scholarly norms and debates. Ania Loomba is Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. Melissa E. Sanchez is Associate Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. Women and Gender in the Early Modern World Series Editors: Allyson Poska and Abby Zanger The study of women and gender offers some of the most vital and innovative challenges to current scholarship on the early modern period.

  • Concerns About Being Visible and Expressions of Pleasure: Women's
    INTERSTITIAL JOURNAL WHITE· BOUDOIR Concerns about Being Visible and Expressions of Pleasure: Women’s Internet Wedding Forum Considerations of Boudoir Photography Sessions Michele White, Tulane University Western heterosexual women usually work with photographers when producing erotic boudoir images as gifts for future husbands. These women wear lingerie, lounge in beds, bend over to reveal breasts or emphasize buttocks, and recline with legs stretched in the air pinup-style. They also script scenes, compose costumes, and select and arrange photographs. The resultant images and experiences are regularly considered in female-focused Internet wedding forums. Self-identifying heterosexual women use these forums to collaboratively conceptualize boudoir photography. They communicate with other women about this practice, search for photographers, imagine how pleased male partners will be with these gifts, worry about being intimately depicted, identify boudoir sessions as a means of self-empowerment and personal documentation, provide examples of boudoir pictures, and compliment and flirt with the women who post photographs. Through these sessions and Internet wedding forum engagements, women pleasurably experience their visual accessibility, especially their openness to other female participants, and some of them express concern about how male partners will react to their being seen by photographers. Their negotiation of visibility and invisibility, especially their control of the means through which men will see their boudoir photography, are different than society’s more usual positioning of women as visual and objects of the “male gaze.” Women’s participation in boudoir sessions is an expression of their desire to be erotically evident. At the same time, a large number of participants are nervous about how partners will react to their being seen by male photographers, and society more broadly.
