    Advanced Sculpture Students “De-Disneyfy” Fairy Tales Through Couture Costume Millinery

    Advanced Sculpture Students “De-Disneyfy” Fairy Tales through Couture Costume Millinery Liz Terlecki Introduction I am often aghast when students exhibit baffled looks at the mention of what I consider to be Blockbuster movies like Edward Scissorhands or Ghostbusters. Typically, the movies we all assume that everyone has seen are films that conjure only a few raised student hands verifying a one-time screening, or at least familiarity, with the movie. However, it rarely fails that Disney movies are those with which most students are not only familiar, but also well versed. This past year, Disney’s hit Frozen has all but taken over the world of animated films (and all merchandise born thereto) and now seems to dominate pop culture categories of “most watched” and “most referenced.” The fact that my students are teenagers in high school is certainly no exception to the rule, especially since cartoons like Adventure Time, Spongebob Squarepants, and even My Little Pony have begun to invade older age groups. Unfortunately, just as my students are mystified by references to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, so are they to the real stories that inspired many Disney classics. Just when I begin thinking that I do not have much in common with this generation of teenagers, I find myself admitting that prior to writing this unit, I, too, was unfamiliar with many of the real fairy tales that influence Disney films. I was surprised by the unexpected components of death and even gore—elements with which my students are all too familiar (and attracted to) considering the recent rising popularity of zombie and vampire television shows and teenagers’ inevitable natural draw to cheesy horror flicks.

    While lots of pundits claim to know (and care) what's in the hearts and minds of America's youth, Ben Ferguson IS America's youth. At 25 years old, Ben is the Ben Ferguson youngest nationally syndicated talk show host in the country. Ben blends a mix of pop culture, politics and current events in an entertaining and Speech Topics informative way, debating the news of the week from a college-age perspective, while incorporating prominent guests from the political, entertainment, and business worlds. Leadership Generations This caller driven program provides a forum for the vastly under served younger audience of 20 and 30 somethings who care about politics and current events as well as music, movies and sports. Ben's good humored but conservative approach separates this program from the pack of shows aimed at driving ratings through "locker room" humor and stupid stunts. The market of young men and women is not being effectively reached on talk radio today. The Ben Ferguson Show provides a forum for traditional talk stations to reach those listeners and creates a venue for its advertisers that are trying to reach an educated younger audience. The War on Terror and in Iraq have increased demand among young listeners for substantive, news based programming. The Ben Ferguson Show offers an opportunity to reach those young men and women that are hungry for talk radio that speaks directly to them. Ben has hosted talk radio programs since he was 13 years old and he has been interviewed by the New York Times, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and The Chicago Tribune, in addition to appearances on numerous television programs including CNN's Talk Back Live, Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor.

However, many reporters, editors and producers continue to face challenges covering these issues in a complex, often rhetorically charged, climate. Media coverage of LGBT people has become increasingly multi-dimensional, reflecting both the diversity of our community and the growing visibility of our families and our relationships. As a result, reporting that remains mired in simplistic, predictable “pro-gay”/”anti-gay” dualisms does a disservice to readers seeking information on the diversity of opinion and experience within our community. Misinformation and misconceptions about our lives can be corrected when journalists diligently research the facts and expose the myths (such as pernicious claims that gay people are more likely to sexually abuse children) that often are used against us.

Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

    'Project Runway's' New Catwalk Page 1 of 3

    'Project Runway's' new catwalk Page 1 of 3 Tuesday, August 18, 2009 'Project Runway's' new catwalk Hit reality show moves over to Lifetime, L.A. for its sixth season Mekeisha Madden Toby / Detroit News Television Writer For far too long, Lifetime has been viewed as the victimized women's network. That should change Thursday when Lifetime fights back with its biggest acquisition ever -- "Project Runway" -- which will strut out with a highly buzzed-about sixth season packed with location and production changes. Lifetime bought the rights more than a year ago, but NBC, which owns Bravo, fought the purchase in court until a resolution was reached this past spring. While some fans are grumbling about the network switch, critics are hailing it as a long-overdue move. "I think it's a perfect fit," says Elayne Rapping, a pop culture expert, author and professor who teaches television and society courses at the University at Buffalo-SUNY. "Lifetime is known as a women's channel -- Bravo still seems arty. Women watch these kinds of shows, and Lifetime has a brand name connotation, especially for older women who have watched Lifetime for years." A new basic-cable home isn't the only change of note. The sixth season will take place in Los Angeles instead of New York for the first time in the show's history, a move made to accommodate the familial needs of co-host and supermodel Heidi Klum. Like the switch from Bravo to Lifetime, fans have bemoaned the relocation in countless blogs all over the Internet.
