    1 WINNER ADEL AIDE FILM FESTIVAL FOXTEL MOVIES AUDIENCE AWARDS MOST POPULAR FEATURE Girl Asleep bags most popular feature at Adelaide Film Festival. IF MAGAZINE It’s in Myers’s commitment to eccentricity that Girl Asleep – an art-house film made firmly with a teenage audience in its sight – finds its heart. THE GUARDIAN AUSTRALIA Girl Asleep is the stylish, formally exuberant debut of theatre director Rosemary Myers. A funny and imaginative portrait of growing pains. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER With the endless production of superhero films and film remakes these days, it is refreshing to see a film with such raw acting and originality from start to finish. It’s hard not to fall in love with the characters in Girl Asleep, and be left with the warmth of the film long after the credits have stop rolling. THE UPSIDE NEWS Inventive and confidently executed... bright and occasionally subversive take on teen growing pains that gives fresh legs to a familiar genre. We’re lucky to call this one our own. RIP IT UP Profoundly funny. SCENESTR Wildly funny and deeply moving in equal measure, it is a work rich in larrikin character but universal in its themes and appeal. As Greta embraces her blossoming self, so to does Australian cinema welcome another memorable movie heroine. SCREEN SPACE A memorable, comic balance of poise and chaos. ADELAIDE REVIEW Colourful, eccentric... production about a girl navigating the pitfalls of puberty with a casual side of magical realism... one for fans of coming-of-age dramas and colourful Wes Anderson-style quirkfests.

  • The Creative Economy of Houston
    JULY 2012 THECREATIVE ECONOMY OF HOUSTON A comprehensive sTUDY OF creaTIVE-SECTor INDUStrieS and their IMPACT ON THE HOUSTON ECONOMY Commissioned by Houston Arts Alliance and University of Houston in partnership with Greater Houston Partnership Data and Analysis by EMSI Thank you to all of the many thoughtful participants in bringing this study to a reality. Nearly three years WELCOME LETTER ago, Houston Arts Alliance and University of Houston convened a group of creative, academic and policy leaders to discuss the broad creative sector in Houston. A few preliminary take-aways have informed the work since then. Among them is the sense that the delineation between the for-profit creative sectors and the non-profit arts is now highly porous. Artists and other creatives move fluidly between work in major arts institutions, community-based organizations, film, design and other creative endeavors. The “arts” today are about creative expression and creative experience, and don’t fall neatly within for-profit and non-profit parameters. We need to shift the perception from the arts as a quality of life attraction for a well-qualified workforce, to the creative sectors as a tremendously powerful component of the economy unto itself. I believe this study reflects these early ideas. This is a conservative study. By design, we asked our colleagues at EMSI to mirror the study as much as possible to successful studies in other major US cities, but to tailor it to Houston. The result are findings that are defendable, easy to grasp, and are presented within the context of Houston’s job sectors.

    The Burqa in Vogue: Fashioning Afghanistan Ellen McLarney Journal of Middle East Women's Studies, Volume 5, Number 1, Winter 2009, pp. 1-20 (Article) Published by Indiana University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/jmw/summary/v005/5.1.mclarney.html Access Provided by Duke University Libraries at 12/16/10 9:17PM GMT ELLEN McLARNEY 1 THE BURQA IN VOGUE: Fashioning Afghanistan Ellen McLarney ABSTRACT In the months leading up to 9/11 and in its immediate aft ermath, the media demonized the burqa as “Afghanistan’s veil of terror,” a tool of extremists and the epitome of political and sexual repression. Around the time of Afghanistan’s presidential and parliamentary elections in 2004 and 2005, there were noticeable shift s in apprehen- sions of the burqa in the Western media. In Fall 2006, burqa images even appeared on the Paris runways and in Vogue fashion spreads. Th is article charts the burqa’s evolution from “shock to chic” and the process of its commodifi cation in the Western media. Th e article specifi cally analyzes Vogue magazine’s appropriation of the burqa as haute couture. I’ve long believed that the content of fashion does not materialize spon- taneously but, in ways both mysterious and uncanny, emerges from the fabric of the times. Th at fabric has recently been darkly threaded by war and uncertainty. (Wintour 2004) n the months leading up to 9/11 and in its immediate aftermath, Amer- Iican and British media demonized the burqa as “Afghanistan’s veil of terror,” a tool of extremists and the epitome of political and sexual repres- sion (Shah 2001).

  • GTM Fashion Take the Challenge AK 02 03 11 FINAL
    Math in Fashion: Take the Challenge Answer Key Chloe Dao, Project Runway Season 2 winner, uses math in her work as a fashion designer. She uses algebraic reasoning to figure out the pricing of finished pieces. Chloe has designed a beaded top whose current retail cost is $40.65. Chloe needs to change the design so that it is less expensive and has a retail cost of $35 or less. Your challenge is to change the design in order to hit that price point. 1. The current retail price is $40.65, which includes materials, labor and a markup of 220%. • 220% of the wholesale cost should not exceed the target retail price of $35. • Calculate the maximum wholesale cost . Show your work. Strategies and Solutions: • Strategy 1: o Discuss the fact that more than $5 must be reduced from the retail price to reach the price point of $35. o Use a ratio to express the fact that every dollar of the wholesale price equals $2.20 in the retail price of the shirt: Retail = $2.20 Wholesale 1 o To find the wholesale cost needed for a $35 top, set up the following proportion: 35 = 2.20 w 1 35 = 2.20 w 35 = 2.20 w 2.20 2.20 $15.91 = w Chloe’s wholesale cost cannot exceed $15.91 to hit a retail price point of $35. • Strategy 2: ○ Discuss the fact that 220% of the costs of materials and labor, or wholesale, must come in under the QVC price point of $35. ○ Write a mathematical model in words: 220% of the wholesale cost (materials and labor) is less than thirty-five dollars.
