Queering Barbie with Mary Rogers led us to Barbie's website...then the Bratz...which became rather funny

We made a Barbie magazine cover at Barbie's website...we made sure she looked as much like RuPaul as possible :o)

The Bratz "MASH Quiz" illuminated an interesting future!

Whats Cheaper, Women or Beer?

0 comments

Name of author- Lisa

Nice job on:

1. Your collage looks great. It really illustrated the point you were trying to get across about women using their bodies to sell products.
2. You did a nice job with your thesis. It was very concise and corresponded with the paragraphs that followed.

Areas for potential improvement:
1. The second and third paragraphs could use some improvement as far as the flow of the blog goes.
2. The post was overall great but the transition for paragraphs felt a bit forced.

The Real Hegemonies of New York City

0 comments

Name of author- Sarah

Nice job on:
1. Your analysis of Bethenny. As a fan of the show, I found your depiction of her to be dead on and very interesting. By noting that the underlying factor to Bethenny’s happiness is her boyfriend Jason, you did a nice job portraying the conflicting messages being sent.
2. Your thesis is well written. Through out your post you stay on topic and continue to back up your thesis in your conclusion as well. The body paragraphs flow well from one to another rather than just ending abruptly.

Areas for potential improvement:

1. There are some videos on BravoTV’s website that are hilarious and allow the viewer to get a taste of these five women. I would have like to see a video or more pictures included in your blog to further grab my attention.
2. The paragraphs are not separated from one another so at times it was hard to follow. Perhaps by spacing paragraphs by a line, the blog would be easier to read.

Sex Sells: Femininity Depictions in Advertising

0 comments

Name of Author - Melissa

Nice job on:
1. Strong and relevant thesis statement. Your second paragraph did an especially good job of backing up the latter part of your thesis. Also very nice collage.
2. Very nice in-text citations and works cited list. Good job on citing the images, although why did you cite only 5 when there are 9 images?

Areas for potential improvement:
1. Watch your quote length, a paper this short should not contain a quote more than 3 lines.
2. Be careful with the cohesiveness of your paragraphs. For instance in your first paragraph, you transistion from arguing how sex is used to sell products to arguing that soceity's view of the ideal body is depicted in the ads.

Blog Post #2-- What's Cheaper? WOMEN OR BEER?!?

0 comments

Name of author - Lisa

Nice job on:
1. The collage is great. The pictures work really well in supporting your thesis.
2. Your analysis on cologne advertisements and the degradation of women is very well written and evaluated.

Areas for potential improvement:
1. The quotes you used are very good but I think if you use only one quote in each paragraph it will help to focus your arguments a little better.
2. There are one or two minor grammatical errors but they do not take away from the comprehension of the writing or analysis.

The Real Girls Next Door

0 comments

Name of author - Jillian

Nice job on:
1. Your arguments, especially in the second and third paragraphs, support your thesis very well. The specific examples from the show and the pictures really help stress your point.
2. You used a lot of quotes from the readings that further develop your analysis.

Areas for potential improvement:
1. I thought the paragraphs on Hugh Hefner and masculine behavior and norms was very interesting but it kind of strays away from your thesis.
2. If you add a little more to the conclusion, restating and thus reinforcing the points you made previously, it would help to sum everything up nicely.
