Big Tits 69 Info Packet This is an info packet I made for Big Tits 69, a one-person show written by and starring force of nature Dean Grosbard. Grosbard and I met to discuss our collaboration in January of 2019, with plans for the show to be submitted to the Son of Semele Solo Creation Festival that May. Grosbard wanted their show to be “equal parts one-person show and TED Talk,” so oodles of in- depth research on a wide array of topics was vital. Despite being just a year older than me, Dean Grosbard’s life has run circles around my own. Big Tits 69 discusses their discomfort in their size H breasts and their journey to getting top surgery - a journey which included growing up in the elite Pasadena, CA private school system, working as a cam girl to earn money, addiction to marijuana, contracting herpes, and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Hope came to Grosbard when they studied Theatre of the Oppressed, and the influence of Augosto Boal is prevalent in their work today. At the time of this writing, Big Tits 69 is currently performing at the Asheville Fringe Festival in North Carolina.

Our ancestors worshipped fertility goddesses, motherhood goddesses, and nursing goddesses. The breast was often emphasized in statuettes, with the goddesses’ hands placed on their bosoms or their bellies as if to say that “the womanly powers of procreation and lactation were worthy of veneration.” (Yalom, 1997). During the 8th-6th centuries, B.C.E., in what is now Israel, almost all clay idols from the biblical period were females. When the biblical Israelites came to Canaan, they tried to eliminate these idols so that Jahweh, the (male) god of war, would be the only god. It is likely that many Israelites continued to worship these goddesses in secrecy. At the same time, Egyptians were worshipping the goddess Isis. Isis was associated with the milk-giving cow, the Tree of Life, and the throne of the Pharaohs. Those who were to ascend the throne sat on her lap as infants - “to suckle from her breast was to receive divine nourishment that would give the king qualities of kinship.” (Yalom, 1997). Astarte, the Phoenician goddess of love and fertility. Pharaohs were nursed by Isis at birth, at their coronation, or at death - key moments in life that required smooth transitions. The suckling at Isis’s breast was assumed to give them immortality. In 1500 B.C.E. Greece, there was a strong association between the female body and Nature. Since women had breasts and the ability to provide milk for their young, they were seen as being closer to nature than men. Greek goddesses were the most powerful deities imaginable - until they were knocked out of that spot by younger Hellenic deities. Zeus took over Mt. Olympus from Gaia Olympia (the oldest Greek deity who was known as “the Deep-Breasted one”). The goddesses became “Olympianized,” and were reduced to less-powerful deities with specified, limited abilities. During the Olympianization, Amazon warriors were still holding strong. Amazons cut off their right breast for greater ease in drawing a bow. The Greeks HATED the Amazons, seeing them as what happened when women abandoned their role as nurturers. Men were afraid of Amazons, but other genders admired them. They saw Amazons as being able to engage in socially unacceptable behavior that we often repress; “by a willful act of breast removal, women became transformed into powerful creatures commanding fear and respect.” (Yalom, 1997). We have early Christian theology to thank for breasts becoming signs of Jean Fouquet’s The Melun Diptych corruption and lewdness. Flesh - particularly flesh on a feminine body - was seen as a threat to spirituality because it lured human beings to engage in sinful behaviors and distracted them from God. In a lot of early Christian art, male devils can be seen sporting long, pendulous breasts, symbolizing their tainted nature. But while the breast was seen as an unclean thing, breast milk was heralded as being almost holy. During the Middle Ages, both breast milk and blood were believed to carry mystical connotations. Mary’s milk was 2nd in holiness only to Christ’s blood, with vials of “Mary’s milk” being displayed in churches as relics. Supposedly, this milk could cure blindness, cancer, and other maladies. 15th Century: The Breast Becomes Sexual The breast changed artistic form in 15th century Europe with Jean Fouquet’s painting The Melun Diptych. The painting is of Agnés Sorel, the mistress to the King of France. Her breast is shaped not unlike a globe and is bursting out of her bodice, served up like a piece of fruit for the observer and not for the baby sitting in her lap. According to historian Anne Hollander, this was the moment where the breast became sexual: “Stripped of its relation to the sacred, the breast became the uncontested playground for male desire.” (Yalom, 1997). From this point on, the breast began to belong less and less to the baby, and more to artists, poets, and eventually consumers. Lots of men in the Middle Ages and continuing into the Renaissance wrote about their ideal breasts. The general consensus was that breasts should be small, firm, wide apart, pale, and “round like apples.” (The comparing of breasts to fruit begins here and continues into present day). To the disgrace of the church, bodices became highlighted in medieval fashion. As laced- up bodices came in style, Bishop Jean Jouven de Ursins called them symbols of “whoredom and ribaldry and all other sins.” During the Italian Renaissance, people grew more comfortable revealing their bodies (with sex workers walking around more or less uncovered), and the nude bust was frequently depicted in art. Toplessness was not uncommon; showing legs and ankles was far more scandalous. Lots of poets (almost all of them men) were fantasizing about, writing about, or generally having opinions on breasts. Jean Cousin’s Eva prima Pandora. A telling painting from this era is Jean Cousin’s Eva prima Pandora. The subject has the ideal female form of the time - long body, small head, round breasts. She’s a passive figure, a woman simply meant to be consumed. The name gives the message of the painting away - Eve brought the first act of disobedience towards God, and Pandora let both good and evil into the world. Art only continued to get more erotic. According to Marilyn Yalom, author of A History of the Breast (1997): “The breast became yet one more object to be conquered by enterprising men, one more object to be wrestled from the hands of priests and preachers, not to mention women and babies. Kings, courtiers, painters, poets, explorers, and photographers - all believed they had a claim to the breast. Each thought of himself, in some way, as its owner. Women’s breasts, shorn of their religious associations, became blatant emblems of male desire.” Breasts Become Political 1858 saw the first breast revealed in public for a political purpose. Sojourner Truth, a former slave and antislavery advocate, was speaking in front of a mostly-white audience when a proslavery advocate began to heckle Truth and challenge whether or not she was actually a woman. As printed in the October 15, 1858 issue of The Liberator: “Sojourner told them that her breasts had suckled many a white babe to the exclusion of her own offspring; that some of those white babies had grow to man’s estate; that, although they had suckled her colored breasts, they were, in her estimation, far more manly than [her persecutors] appeared to be; and she quietly asked them as she disrobed her bosom if they, too, wished to suck! In vindication of her truthfulness, she told them that she would show her whole breast to the congregation; that it was not to her shame that she uncovered her breast before them, but to their shame.” In America during the first World War, uncovered breasts were used in propaganda, with ads and posters showing women being victimized by the enemy or protected by American men. WWII saw the rise of pin-up models: busty women in skimpy, curve- highlighting attire. Cutouts and postcards of pin-up models gave soldiers a token to hold close to them while fighting, a reminder of what they were fighting for, a nurturing bosom to counteract what the enemy wanted to take away from them. Pin-up modeling boosted the careers of many prolific Hollywood actresses, including Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. When pin-up clippings began to die out, banknotes with busty women filled the void. Since banknotes are seen all over the world, a country’s icon is carefully selected. The Bank of England chose the goddess Britannia (image circa 1694) while France chose Delacroix Liberty. When France was a colonial power in Indonesia, West Africa, and New Caledonia, the banknotes of these regions showed dark-skinned, topless women. These notes have been found to be racist and exploitive, suggesting a primitive way of life. The Pop Culture Breast The post-WWII era reinforced the soldiers’ love for the pin-up by showing busty actresses onscreen A banknote from New Caledonia.

  • Enhancing the In-Store Experience
    Enhancing the in-store experience for female customers of Tommy Hilfiger Achieving more together Foreword The ‘Anton Dreesmann Leerstoel voor Retailmarketing’ Foundation - supported by a group of leading retailers in the Netherlands - has chosen Rabobank as its partner to host and co-organise its annual congress. The partnership started in 2011 and we have prolonged this successful collaboration until at least 2020. We appreciate the opportunity to share our knowledge and views on retail with key players and other stakeholders in the sector. The January 2017 congress, ‘Retailing Beyond Borders – Working on Transition’ took place in the Duisenberg Auditorium in Utrecht. During this congress the ‘Rabobank Anton Dreesmann Thesis Award´ was granted to Samira Darkaoui for her thesis entitled ‘Enhancing the in-store experience for female customers of Tommy Hilfiger´. Part of this award is the publication of the thesis as a book. The result of which is now in front of you. Capturing and embedding knowledge is important, both for Rabobank as a knowledge-driven financial organisation and for retailers. We therefore support the initiatives of the Foundation to combine scholarly knowledge with retail practice. The ´Rabobank Anton Dreesmann Thesis Award´ is one of these initiatives. The thesis of Samira Darkaoui, who graduated from the Delft University of Technology, discusses an actual and interesting case at Tommy Hilfiger, the well-known fashion player. The problem for Tommy Hilfiger is the lack of connection that women have with the brand. In order to address this issue, a systematic approach is followed. A wide number of topics is taken into account including brand identity, store interior and (female) consumer behaviour in order to understand the complete shopping experience.

  • The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles
    The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles – c. 1790-1900 1790-1809 – Neoclassicism In the late 18th century, the latest fashions were influenced by the Rococo and Neo-classical tastes of the French royal courts. Elaborate striped silk gowns gave way to plain white ones made from printed cotton, calico or muslin. The dresses were typically high-waisted (empire line) narrow tubular shifts, unboned and unfitted, but their minimalist style and tight silhouette would have made them extremely unforgiving! Underneath these dresses, the wearer would have worn a cotton shift, under-slip and half-stays (similar to a corset) stiffened with strips of whalebone to support the bust, but it would have been impossible for them to have worn the multiple layers of foundation garments that they had done previously. (Left) Fashion plate showing the neoclassical style of dresses popular in the late 18th century (Right) a similar style ball- gown in the museum’s collections, reputedly worn at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball (1815) There was public outcry about these “naked fashions,” but by modern standards, the quantity of underclothes worn was far from alarming. What was so shocking to the Regency sense of prudery was the novelty of a dress made of such transparent material as to allow a “liberal revelation of the human shape” compared to what had gone before, when the aim had been to conceal the figure. Women adopted split-leg drawers, which had previously been the preserve of men, and subsequently pantalettes (pantaloons), where the lower section of the leg was intended to be seen, which was deemed even more shocking! On a practical note, wearing a short sleeved thin muslin shift dress in the cold British climate would have been far from ideal, which gave way to a growing trend for wearing stoles, capes and pelisses to provide additional warmth.

  • 1916 at a Glance – Events in America
    What was happening at the time that Harvey Browne Presbyterian was chartered? 1916 AT A GLANCE – EVENTS IN AMERICA Woodrow Wilson was re-elected as President. Wilson was the only president with a Ph. D., and one of 10 Presbyterian presidents. Montana suffragist Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress – before women had the vote in national elections. Her first vote was against the U.S. entering World War I. In a later, non-consecutive, term, she voted against participating in World War II. The National Park Service was created by an act of Congress “to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein ...” At the time, 35 existing parks, including Yellowstone, came under its management. Lincoln's birthplace in Hodgenville Kentucky became a national park site in 1916, but was not managed by the NPS until 1933. A Jim Crow law regarding segregated neighborhoods in Louisville was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. America's first birth control clinic opened in Brooklyn, New York. Nine days after it opened, its director, nurse and activist Margaret Sanger, was subsequently arrested for distributing written instructions on contraception. Emma Goldman (above) was arrested for giving public lessons on birth control. Louis Brandeis, born in Louisville, became the first Jew to be appointed to the Supreme Court. His nomination was hotly contested because, as Justice William O. Douglas wrote, “Brandeis was a militant crusader for social justice … He was dangerous … because of his brilliance … his courage …. because he was incorruptible.” The Statue of Liberty was damaged by shrapnel from a munitions depot explosion in the New York Harbor, attributed to German saboteurs.

  • Harry Crosby - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Harry Crosby - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Harry Crosby(4 June 1898 - 10 December 1929) Harry Crosby was an American heir, a bon vivant, poet, publisher, and for some, epitomized the Lost Generation in American literature. He was the son of one of the richest banking families in New England, a member of the Boston Brahmin, and the nephew of Jane Norton Grew, the wife of financier J. P. Morgan, Jr.. As such, he was heir to a portion of a substantial family fortune. He was a volunteer in the American Field Service during World War I, and later served in the U.S. Ambulance Corps. He narrowly escaped with his life. Profoundly affected by his experience in World War I, Crosby vowed to live life on his own terms and abandoned all pretense of living the expected life of a privileged Bostonian. He had his father's eye for women, and in 1920 met Mrs. Richard Peabody (née Mary Phelps Jacob), six years his senior. They had sex within two weeks, and their open affair was the source of scandal and gossip among blue-blood Boston. Mary (or Polly as she was called) divorced her alcoholic husband and to her family's dismay married Crosby. Two days later they left for Europe, where they devoted themselves to art and poetry. Both enjoyed a decadent lifestyle, drinking, smoking opium regularly, traveling frequently, and having an open marriage. Crosby maintained a coterie of young ladies that he frequently bedded, and wrote and published poetry that dwelled on the symbolism of the sun and explored themes of death and suicide.

And it was Catherine Medici who was fussy about waist sizes at the court of her husband Henri II of France in the sixteenth century. And it was the Paris couturier, Christian Dior who made the last statement about his post war collection in the 1950s.
