  • Body Positivity “I Could Have Never Imagined How Much It Would Cost Me to Attempt to Reach the Standard of Today’S Beauty
    Body Positivity “I could have never imagined how much it would cost me to attempt to reach the standard of today’s beauty. —Sadie Roberston, “I Woke Up Like This” Beyoncé Was Right: When It Comes to Beauty, “It’s the Soul That Needs the Surgery” Katrina (not her real name) struggled through middle school and high school. It was a difficult time for her, not simply because she was socially awkward, but also because of how she looked. She rarely felt pretty: She struggled on and off with acne, had braces for a while, and had no idea what to do with her crazy hair. To add insult to injury, she didn’t know how to dress stylishly and would often feel embarrassed about her clothes. Our society puts a heavy burden on people, women in particular, to measure up to certain standards of physical beauty. The body positivity movement has arisen in response to these unattainable ideals. It attempts to redefine beauty and human worth and has made its way from social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter into our mainstream marketing. But is it the answer that all teenagers who struggle to accept themselves desperately long for? Despite the necessity of this movement, or at least something like it, body positivity is complicated and nuanced—and very worth talking about with your teens. How do teens feel about their bodies? In her book, Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame, Heather Davis Nelson writes, “Shame commonly masquerades as embarrassment, or the nagging sense of ‘not quite good enough.’” This is how Katrina felt, and it’s a feeling that many teens can relate to, especially when it comes to their bodies.

  • Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Magazine Pdf Free Download
    Sports illustrated swimsuit magazine pdf free download Continue The most beautiful models in the world, hundreds of bikinis, and private tropical places, what can go wrong? More than you think, says make-up artist Tracy Murphy, who has been working on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for 11 years. Something has always happened, says Murphy, who now carries everything from lip balm to Pepto-Bismol (we don't want to know). We talked to her about her must-have groceries on set and were surprised to learn that it's not always holiday-welcome news for the rest of us, mortals headed to the beach next weekend. They get tanned: Murphy slathers models in the highest SPF there, but it's still happening. If someone gets too red and has a sunburn, you should cover it with makeup, says Murphy. She loves the Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation for its lined-up reach and compelling hues. They don't sleep in: Models arrive on set at 2 a.m., and Murphy covers them in Johnson's Baby Oil Gel. It's incredibly moisturizing and super-ish, she says. Then they sit in hair and makeup gowns and start shooting at dawn (when the light is beautiful). They sweat: Murphy holds the M.A.C. Prep and Prime Translucent Finishing Powder to control the oil around his lips and chin. It can go from sexy and wet to greasy and sloppy looking quickly, she says. They don't have perfect skin: Because of the frequent flyer models, they often come with dry skin and acne.

  • Präsentation Des Kalenders 2020 “Looking for Juliet” Von Paolo Roversi in Verona
    PRESSEMITTEILUNG PIRELLI: PRÄSENTATION DES KALENDERS 2020 “LOOKING FOR JULIET” VON PAOLO ROVERSI IN VERONA In Kombination mit einem Kurzfilm sucht Paolo Roversi nach dem Wesen der Julia Verona, 3. Dezember 2019 — “Looking for Juliet”, der von Paolo Roversi realisierte Pirelli Kalender für das Jahr 2020, wurde heute im Opernhaus von Verona präsentiert. Paolo Roversi hat sich dabei von William Shakespeares zeitlosem Drama inspirieren lassen. In der 47. Ausgabe des The Cal™ spricht er mit Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Rosalía, Stella Roversi, Yara Shahidi, Kristen Stewart und Emma Watson als Protagonistinnen die „Julia, die in jeder Frau lebt“ an. In diesem Jahr verschmilzt der Kalender erstmals Fotografie und Film, da er von einem Kurzfilm begleitet wird. In dem 18-minütigen Kurzfilm spielt Paolo Roversi sich selbst als Filmregisseur und interviewt Kandidatinnen für die Rolle der Julia. Nacheinander treten sie vor die Kamera des Regisseurs, um die facettenreiche Julia durch ein breites Spektrum an Emotionen und Ausdrucksformen darzustellen. Die Story gliedert sich in zwei Abschnitte. Im ersten Abschnitt werden die Darstellerinnen ohne Schminke und ohne Kostüme abgelichtet, während sie das Set betreten. Sie werden aufgenommen, während sie mit Roversi über das Projekt reden, in der Hoffnung, dafür ausgewählt zu werden. Sie sprechen über ihre eigenen Erfahrungen und ihre Vorstellung von Julia. Die Darstellerinnen öffnen sich einer intimen und ganz vertrauten Erzählung. Im zweiten Abschnitt tragen sie die Kostüme der Darstellerinnen in Shakespeares Tragödie. Der Effekt, der erzeugt wird, ist eine Story, in der Wirklichkeit und Fiktion ineinander übergehen, und die Grenzen, wie auf einigen Bildern, verschwimmen. „Ich war auf der Suche nach einer reinen Seele, geprägt von Unschuld, Willensstärke, Schönheit, Zärtlichkeit und Mut.

  • Masterarbeit / Master Thesis
    MASTERARBEIT / MASTER THESIS Titel der Masterarbeit /Title of the master thesis Exoticism and Non-White Fashion Models – A Thematic Approach Verfasser /Author Kang, Chia-Ching angestrebter akademischer Grad / acadamic degree aspired Master (MA) Wien, 2011 Studienkennzahl : A 067 805 Studienrichtung:: Individuelles Masterstudium: Global Studies – a European Perspective Betreuer/Supervisor: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Monika Seidl I dedicate my Master’s thesis to my parents, 康正山 陳月鶯 and my three sisters, 康美俐 康湘屏 康彥君 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyze how models of color on the fashion runway are dressed by synthesizing the concept of fashion with cultural hegemony. It is assumed in this paper that fashion, through its dominant leadership, produces a certain image of different cultures, namely non-Western cultures, and assimilates them into the same categories by promoting the exoticization of the Other. Exoticizing the Other is associated with the rise of Western culture; in turn, the proffered image of these non-Western cultures as opposite or inferior is a result of Western cultural hegemony. Hence, the numbers of non-white models used on the runway in four Fashion Weeks –Paris, Milan, London and New York – will be examined by using a thematic approach in order to determine if the West exoticizes non-Western cultures by tending to use non-white models to fit certain themes. Diese Masterarbeit untersucht auf der Grundlage der Analyse farbiger Models auf den Laufstegen, inwieweit heutige Mode mit kultureller Hegemonie verbunden ist. Die Forschungshypothese geht davon aus, dass Mode durch ihre bedeutende Stellung in der Gesellschaft, ein bestimmtes Bild einer anderen, nicht westlichen Kultur darstellt, das zentral durch das westliche Stereotyp des Exotischen geprägt ist.
