The study attempted to determine if Vanity Fair’s covers have become more focused on celebrities over time. This study analyzed how Vanity Fair defines a celebrity. An additional aspect of this research was to determine the number of politically based cover images versus the number of celebrity- based cover images. Sammye Johnson (2007) wrote, “In 2005, when W. Mark Felt, who was assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the Nixon Administration (1969 to 1974), decided to reveal that he was Watergate’s ‘Deep Throat’ after keeping his identity a secret for more than thirty years, he turned to Vanity Fair.” The periodical has been a key player in the reporting and analysis of history-making events for decades. With writing that pushes the envelope, daring pictures, impressive cultural insight, thought-provoking articles, and memorable features of the most influential people in the world, Vanity Fair has become, by many estimates, magazine journalism’s acknowledged proprietor of modern society, power, and personality (Friend, 2009). Vanity Fair contributors have been talented from the beginning. In its early years of publication, Vanity Fair promoted the work of modern artists like Picasso and Brancusi. The magazine distinguished itself by using illustrators like Miguel Covarrubias and Paolo Garretto. Vanity Fair also published essays by new literary talents like Dorothy Parker and Gertrude Stein to D. H. Lawrence and Aldous Huxley. Annie Leibovitz and Herb Ritts are considered to be some of the best photographers of all time and have made significant contributions to Vanity Fair (Friend, 2009). On April 25, 2008, the televised entertainment program Entertainment Tonight reported that 15-year-old Miley Cyrus had posed topless for a photo shoot with Vanity Fair. The photos showed Cyrus without a top, her bare back exposed but her front covered with a bedsheet. The photo shoot was taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz. The full photograph was published with an accompanying story on The New York Times' Website on April 27, 2008. On April 29, 2008, The New York Times clarified that though the pictures left an impression that she was bare- breasted, Cyrus was wrapped in a bedsheet and was actually not topless. Some parents expressed outrage at the nature of the photograph, which a Disney spokesperson described as "a situation [that] was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines (Barnes, 2008). In 2008, Vanity Fair celebrated its 95th anniversary. The magazine celebrated its 25th as a re-launched publication. To showcase the photographic heritage of the magazine, London’s National Portrait Gallery mounted an exhibition, “Vanity Fair Portraits, 1913 to 2008,” which opened on February 14, 2008. The exhibition traveled to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, in Edinburgh, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the National Portrait Gallery of 2 Canberra, Australia. In the fall of 2008, the magazine produced a special anniversary issue and a hardcover book, Vanity Fair: The Portraits. 3 Chapter 2 LITERATURE REVIEW In order to produce understanding and analyze results on this topic, it is important to identify and describe applicable scholarly research. The academic literature covers a wide variety of topics. These include print media, magazine cover content, celebrities, advertising, and American culture. In addition, it is important to cite research and studies that support and challenge the aforementioned areas. Magazine Covers New York Magazine’s March 24th cover received The American Society of Magazine Editors highest honor when it won the 2008 Cover of the Year award. The cover featured former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer dressed in a navy suit and red tie. He was smiling with his hands clasped loosely. The cover appeared simple. What made the cover especially unique was “artist Barbara Kruger’s graphic interpretation [literally written] on Henry Leutwyler’s photograph.” The word “BRAIN” was written in a bright-red box with an arrow pointing to the area of Spitzer’s anatomy that seemed to have been thinking for him when he spent thousands of government dollars on high-priced call girls. There was no headline on the cover of that particular issue. It wasn’t needed. This particular cover had all the elements magazine editors strive to attain. To look back at the 3-pronged approach De Leon noted in his book Self-Exposure: Human-Interest Journalism and the Emergence of Celebrity in America (1890-1940), editors need the publication to be inexpensive, interesting and easy to read (Watson, 2005). It is important to acknowledge that the current state of the economy has played an important role in the magazine world and, as a result, magazine covers have to hit their target audience faster and harder than before. This cover was simple but delivered a concise message. If the magazine cover does not instantly connect with the consumer, it is unlikely the consumer will buy that particular magazine. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, U.S. magazine sales dropped more than six percent in the beginning of 2008. Advertising revenue for both newspapers and magazines was already at a decline. Now, add the current economic problems to this and it deepens the wound. Online publications are held accountable for both of these print media problems (Lee, 2008). Esquire magazine editor-in-chief David Granger thought a bold move was appropriate for the current situation. For Esquire’s seventy-fifth anniversary issue, Granger chose a cutting edge cover that featured an electronic link and a collage of illuminated images. The anniversary issue’s cover also had a ten-inch display that flashed the theme “The 21st Century Begins Now.” A two-page spread advertising the new Ford Flex Crossover featured on the inside cover. It had a second ten inch display with flashing colors to illustrate how the car would appear as it was 5 being driven at night. Esquire even had to design a battery (a "six-figure investment") that was small enough to fit into a magazine and keep things running until the magazine sold. The batteries lasted for 90 days (Lee, 2008). Anniversary issues, or special issues, can be a great help for magazines in terms of boosting sales. Advertisers and readers alike are receptive of the special issues. Readers enjoy them because they mark a particular moment in time. Some save the anniversary issues and look back at them from time to time—and some readers will look back at them years after the issue was released. Advertisers are aware of this and acknowledge that these issues have a longer shelf life than the standard weekly or monthly publications (Johnson, 2002). The Esquire anniversary issue is a great example of a successful anniversary issue. Chris Butler, the vice president and consumer marketing director for Hearst Magazines, reported that the updated issues of four iconic Esquire covers received lots of free media exposure. High- profile events featuring George Clooney, LeBron James and Marc Jacobs doing live demonstrations of their visions of the future contributed to the issue’s success. The anniversary issue was displayed at Borders on the best-seller book table, as well as in end-caps and window displays and it was featured in “The Short List” e-newsletter. Results included a 500 percent sales increase for the digital-cover copies, with a 50 percent price increase. Anniversary issue copies with traditional covers were priced at $4.99, while those with the digital cover were priced at $5.99. Overall, unit sales jumped 250 percent in retailers carrying the digital issues, and sell-through was 75 percent. Units for traditional-cover copies were flat, but with a $1 price increase. Overall newsstand revenue for the issue doubled (www.news.idpa.org). 6 The end result was that the October issue had the most advertising pages of any issue in Granger’s eleven years as editor-in-chief of Esquire (Lee, 2008). This cover was a monumental success. The average reader spends only three to five seconds scanning

  • Narcissism, Vanity, Personality and Mating Effort
    Personality and Individual Differences 43 (2007) 2105–2115 www.elsevier.com/locate/paid Narcissism, vanity, personality and mating effort Vincent Egan *, Cara McCorkindale Department of Psychology, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BA, Scotland, United Kingdom Received 10 November 2006; received in revised form 19 June 2007; accepted 27 June 2007 Available online 15 August 2007 Abstract The current study examined the relationship between narcissism and vanity, and the degree these are pre- dicted by the ‘Big Five’ personality traits and mating effort (ME) using a sample of 103 females recruited from a large beauty salon. Narcissism correlated with vanity at 0.72 (P < 0.001), and was associated pos- itively with extraversion (E), ME and the subscales of vanity; narcissism was associated negatively with neu- roticism (N) and agreeableness (A). Vanity correlated positively with E, conscientiousness, both subscales of narcissism, and ME, and negatively with N and A. A composite narcissism–vanity score was produced using principal components analysis, and used along with scores from the NEO-FFI-R to predict mating effort. The narcissism–vanity composite, low A and E significantly and independently predicted mating effort (adjusted R2 = 0.28, F(9.96) = 7.74, P < 0.001). These results show that mating effort is additionally predicted by narcissism as well as self-reported personality. Ó 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • I. Introduction A. When Kent Keller and I Wrote Our Modesty Book, We
    I. Introduction A. When Kent Keller and I wrote our modesty book, we originally entitled it A Gold Ring in a Pig’s Snout. I still like that title but the publisher had major objections, so we changed it. But what we were thinking was based on Proverbs 11:22 “As a ring of gold in a Swine’s snout so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion (moral perception).” B. For this session, I want to: 1) Define biblical modesty and immodesty. 2) What the Bible teaches about modesty. 3) Practical tips on how not to look like a beautiful gold ring all dressed up outwardly to go to a party but in your heart you look to God like you are an ugly pig. II. Definition of modesty and immodesty A. Modesty: An inner attitude of the heart motivated by a love for God that seeks His glory through purity and humility; it often reveals itself in words, actions, expressions, and clothes. B. Immodesty: An attitude of the heart that expresses itself with inappropriate words, actions, expressions and/or clothes that are flirtatious, manipulative, revealing, or suggestive of sensuality or pride. III. What the Bible Teaches About Modesty A. God created men and women to be different. Genesis 2:18, 21-25 B. Along came sin and everything became tainted by sin, not only for Adam and Eve but for all of their children including us. Genesis 3:7 C. When sin entered the picture so did sexual lust, vanity, sensuality, immorality, and all kinds of associated sins.

    WW | xxxxxxxx THIS STORY ALWAYS HAD everything, didn’t it? The blushing young innocent who transformed herself into the most adored – and most hunted – woman in the world. The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel. The romance, the adultery, the royal intrigue, the eternal, hopeless quest for love, the media’s crazed preoccupation and pursuit. TIn her lifetime, Diana was the People’s Princess who, in death, became the Sleeping Beauty and the Lady of the Lake. She was the stuff that myths are made of and, like her or not, believe it or not, hers was a tale of epic, monumental proportions, that mesmerised the world for 16 years – from the time she walked down the aisle in St Paul’s Cathedral to the time of her funeral in Westiminster Abbey, witnessed by, what was it, a quarter of the world’s population? permafrost and the duke’s Teutonic coldness Think of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, to Diana’s single-minded pursuit of Prince Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis, perhaps even Charles and her elder son, William’s, interest Mother Theresa, and roll them into one in becoming governor-general of Australia. iconic figure, and you might approach the The Diana Spencer that emerges from fame, the celebrity of Diana Spencer, the pages of Tina Brown’s The Diana Celebrated editor Tina Princess of Wales.

When it involves the female body it can also be erotic. 4 Erotic Ambiguities is a study of how contemporary women artists have recon- 5 ceptualised the figure of the female nude. Helen McDonald shows how, over 6 the past thirty years, artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle 7 the exclusive, classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they 8 have broadened the scope of the ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, 9 sexuality and disability as well as gender. 20111 McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including 1 Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Mary Duffy, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffatt, Pat 2 Brassington and Sally Smart. She traces the shift in feminist art practices from 3 the early challenge to patriarchal representations of the female nude to contem- 4 porary, ‘postfeminist’ practices, influenced by theories of performativity, queer 5 theory and postcoloniality. McDonald argues that feminist efforts to develop 6 a more positive representation of the female body need to be reconsidered, 7 in the face of the resistant ambiguities and hybrid complexities of visual art in 8 the late 1990s. 9 30111 Helen McDonald is an Honorary Fellow in the School of Fine Arts, Classical 1 Studies and Archaeology at the University of Melbourne. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 i RUNNING HEAD 1111 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 ii RUNNING HEAD

Admittedly, in my opinion, this would be a particularly wonderful story because it would certainly underscore the significance of your work as well as that of the women throughout the world who are truly making a significant impact as they gain rights and access to opportunities in every sector. Having said this, I don't have a clue what else is on your calendar nor what the variables are that go into these kinds of decisions. Hence, although I personally love the idea, I am, primarily, a messenger. I am so sorry I didn't get to the TED Women's conference in DC. Perhaps, if I had known you were on the agenda, I would have tried to crash!! ( remember that word from our high school days)? In reality, I did not have the time to go and thought it was rather pricey to attend. I am busy working on the book which is going so well.

  • Decision, and This Appeal Followed
    REPORTED IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 713 SEPTEMBER TERM, 2014 JOHN T. MITCHELL v. MARYLAND MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION Eyler, Deborah, S., Arthur, Kenney, James. A., III (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. Opinion by Eyler, Deborah, S., J. Filed: November 25, 2015 John T. Mitchell applied to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (“MVA”) for vanity plates bearing the letters MIERDA. The application was granted. Two years later, the MVA received a complaint from a member of the public about Mitchell’s vanity plates. It investigated and determined that “mierda” is the Spanish word for “shit.” Pursuant to a State regulation giving the MVA discretion to deny or rescind vanity plates that contain profanities, epithets, or obscenities, the MVA rescinded Mitchell’s vanity plates. Mitchell challenged the MVA’s action in a contested case hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”). The ALJ decided that the MVA properly exercised its discretion to rescind Mitchell’s vanity plates and that its action did not violate Mitchell’s First Amendment right to free speech. The Circuit Court for Prince George’s County upheld the decision, and this appeal followed. The novel issues before this Court are whether messages on vanity plates are government speech or private speech on government property; and if they are the latter, what degree of government restriction may be imposed on that private speech under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.1 We hold that Mitchell’s vanity plate message is private speech on government property, not government speech. Under prevailing United States Supreme Court jurisprudence, Maryland vanity plates are a “nonpublic forum,” in which government restrictions on private speech will pass muster 1 The First Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment.

  • The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin
    19 The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin The establishment of the nude as an independent and vital subject in post-antique western art occurred during the Renaissance and is, along with the use of perspective, one of the most important markers differentiating Renaissance art from medieval art. One factor driving these innovations was the desire to portray a world that conforms to visual reality, where objects decrease in size as they move away from the picture plane, and where human anatomy is rigorously understood. Just as Renaissance artists employed perspective to portray naturalistic spaces, so they also populated those spaces with proportional, anatomically accurate figures and, during the course of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the occasions when those figures were depicted nude occurred more and more frequently. Naturalism, however, was but one motive for the increased use of the nude, and by the first half of the 1500s, the naked body had achieved a wider and more varied presence in art than had been the case in the Middle Ages or even in antiquity where, with few exceptions, its use was confined to male athletes, heroes, and divinities. This essay will focus on two issues: where is the nude used – i.e., what are its locations – and what are the meanings of its uses? As it is today, the body in the Renaissance was multivalent. European Christian society believed that as a cause of lust and sin, the body was fearful and needed to be covered up. Yet at the same time it was the form the Savior, Jesus Christ, took during his lifetime, and the Catholic Church taught that it is in our very own earthly bodies that, after the last trumpet, we will spend eternity either in bliss in Heaven or in despair in Hell.
