Former Marketing Student Eva Mendes Is New Face For

CollegeOTR.com Who needs an education when you're smokin' hot? Eva Mendes certainly proves you don't have to earn a college degree to be a success (and a drug addict). Who would have thought a bucktoothed, Cal State Northridge (CSUN) dropout who once aspired to become a nun, would have turned out to be one of the most desirable women in the world? Eva Mendes certainly did not. For the past seven years, the actress has established her presence in Hollywood, having starred in Training Day (2001), Hitch (2005) and Ghost Rider (2007). Nowadays, you can find Ms. Mendes as the new face of steamy Calvin Klein ads. While growing up in Miami, Florida and later in Glendale, California, the Cuban American Latina never actively pursued acting until her boyfriend convinced her to drop out of her marketing studies at CSUN to train with an acting coach, Ivana Chubbuck, who has also worked with A-list celebrities Brad Pitt, Halle Berry and Charlize Theron. Mendes began her career by appearing in music videos, such as Will Smith's "Miami." She got her big break in film when she went nude for a scene in Training Day. Following that role as the girlfriend of Denzel Washington's character, Mendes has acted alongside Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Matt Damon in Stuck on You, Will Smith in Hitch, and Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider. Her upcoming movie, We Own the Night, caused some problems for the Catholic-raised star. Apparently, Mendes had to knock back a few drinks to let go of any moral inhibitions before performing a sex scene with Joaquin Phoenix. Despite this and her refusal to pose for Playboy, Mendes is not as shy as you think. She has been known to shed some skin for Vogue, Flaunt, and even PETA. Needless to say, Eva Mendes would not have been considered the #4 Most Desirable Woman if she had continued to pursue her bachelor's degree. She also would not have scored a deal with Calvin Klein, starred in so many hit films or landed in rehab for substance abuse. With a degree in marketing, Mendes could have still worked with CK or Revlon behind the camera, but what a loss that would have been for men worldwide. To all you males who lust over Eva Mendes, thank your lucky stars that she traded in books for the limelight. .

My Power Is in My Feet
Sketch Volume 80, Number 2 2017 Article 12 My Power is in My Feet Shelby Dill∗ ∗Iowa State University Copyright c 2017 by the authors. Sketch is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/sketch My Power is in My Feet By Shelby Dill Before I was even born, Michelle Pfeifer zipped up her black leather suit, put on her cat ears, and strutted the streets of Gotham in the movie Batman Returns. Catwoman wrestled on rooftops with Bruce Wayne before I was even a thought in my mother’s mind. My preexistent self had no notion the dangers of being born a girl, but as Pfeifer was fung out the window by Christopher Walken, she knew. She knew as she lifted her butt in the air while villain Oswald Cobblepot groaned at the sight of her. She slowly looked down at her curved body, exposing powdered on dark eye shadow. “The thought of busting Batman makes me feel all…dirty,” she said. “Maybe I’ll just give myself a bath right here.” As she licked her arm up and down, Oswald gazed on, knowing he’ll do just about anything she asks of him. But perhaps the most poignant of all was the kiss that killed the evil Max Shrek. Her literally electrifying kiss had sparks fying as it burned Christopher Walken to the bone. That would be the last time Catwoman was on screen for about twelve years. Two years after the electrifying kiss, I would be born. Eight years after that, I would be the one girl in my neighborhood, playing kickball against all the boys.

Hollywood Loving
HOLLYWOOD LOVING Kevin Noble Maillard* INTRODUCTION It is no coincidence that Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner1 was released the same year that Loving v. Virginia2 was decided: 1967. It was the first time in American history that interracial marriage was collectively recognized as a legitimate, intimate choice between two adults. This public exposition of racial intermixture exposed a collective memory of racial heterogeneity previously treated in law and popular culture as suspect. Collectively, there were few possibilities, expressions, or affirmative realizations of interracially intimate culture before 1967. Some cases, like McLaughlin v. Florida3 and Perez v. Sharp,4 successfully overturned discriminatory laws targeting interracial couples, but the vast majority, like Naim v. Naim,5 upheld them. * Professor of Law, Syracuse University. Thank you to the student editors of the Fordham Law Review and to the Fordham Professors Robin Lenhardt and Tanya Katerí Hernández for organizing the Symposium entitled Fifty Years of Loving v. Virginia and the Continued Pursuit of Racial Equality held at Fordham University School of Law on November 2–3, 2017. Additional thanks to my excellent Symposium panel for the discussion: Solangel Maldonado, Nancy Buirski, Leora Eisenstadt, and Regina Austin.

Holding up Half the Sky Global Narratives of Girls at Risk and Celebrity Philanthropy
Holding Up Half the Sky Global Narratives of Girls at Risk and Celebrity Philanthropy Angharad Valdivia a Abstract: In this article I explore the Half the Sky (HTS) phenomenon, including the documentary shown on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network in 2014. I explore how the girls in whose name the HTS movement exists are repre- sented in relation to Nicholas Kristoff and six celebrity advocates. This analysis foregrounds Global North philanthropy’s discursive use of Global South girls to advance a neoliberal approach that ignores structural forces that account for Global South poverty. The upbeat use of the concept of opportunities interpellates the audience into participating in individualized approaches to rescuing girls. Ulti- mately girls are spoken for while celebrities gain more exposure and therefore increase their brand recognition. Keywords: Global South, Media Studies, neoliberalism, philitainment, representation, white savior b Girls figure prominently as a symbol in global discourses of philanthropy. The use of girls from the Global South lends authority and legitimacy to Western savior neoliberal impulses, in which the logic of philanthropy shifts responsibility for social issues from governments to individuals and corpo- rations through the marketplace, therefore help and intervention are “encouraged through privatization and liberalization” (Shome 2014: 119). Foregrounding charitable activities becomes an essential component of celebrity branding and corporate public relations that seek representation of their actions as cosmopolitan morality and global citizenry. Focusing on the Half the Sky (HTS) phenomenon that culminated in a documentary by Maro Chermayeff (2012) shown on the PBS network in 2014, in this article I examine the agency and representation of six celebrity advocates in relation to the girls in whose name the HTS movement exists.

The focus of this paper is workplace sexual harassment of wom- en at the intersection of gender and ethnicity, specifically pertaining to Latin American women.6 Challenging the pervasive stereotype of the * Georgetown University Law Center, J.D.
