“beautiful”. In the early 1900’s, women began to bind their breasts to obtain a “washboard” figure. Over time, “slender and long-legged” became the new definition of beauty. It began to take a turn for the better in the 1970’s when stars like Farrah Fawcett began to flaunt her toned, muscular body and minimal makeup. This trend continued up until the 1990’s when models like Kate Moss appeared with her “pale skin, angular bone structure and extremely thin limbs” (Geography of Beauty."). In America
FASHION IN THE 1970S Television, film and music in the 1970s exerted a powerful force over fashion. The television program Charlie 's Angels spurred the demand for flared trousers and the rough, flicked-back hairstyle worn by the show 's star, Farrah Fawcett. The Wonder Woman series popularized knee-high boots, sometimes paired with daringly short hotpants. Later in the decade, movies like Saturday Night Fever popularized the showy 'disco ' style of dress. Music stars like David Bowie and the
stores like a modern day human. The majority of the Native Americans do not fit into those stereotypes. “I’m a flop, an embarrassment to my racial stereotype. My hair is shoulder-length, and I don’t feather it, unless you count my unfortunate Farrah Fawcett period in junior high” (Pyrilli... ... middle of paper ... ...our spiritually” (Hall).

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical centered on a confused individual named Hedwig. Her plight grows out of a botched sex change operation. She ended up with neither the working penis she had to begin with, nor the working vagina she had been attempting to gain.

John Cameron Mitchell, by writing a character that
Educating Rita by Willy Russell “ How do the characters of Frank and Rita change throughout the play and what is Russell’s purpose of using the technique?” Educating Rita is a play written by Willy Russell who was born in Liverpool, Whiston. “I really don’t want to write plays which are resigned, menopausal, despairing and whining.

“Fifi.” Had I had a special affinity for French poodles or been considering a career in prostitution, I would’ve gone with that one. My mom suggested, “Farah,” a name easier than “Firoozeh” yet still Iranian. Her reasoning made sense, except that Farrah Fawcett was at the height of her popularity and I didn’t want to be associated with somebody whose poster hung in every post pubescent boy’s bedroom.” This is ironic because even though her name is unique and hardly anyone can pronounce it when she is
Firoozeh Dumas’s essay “The "F” Word” is not what people think it would be about. When people hear the someone mention the “F” word all sorts of things pop into their head. Yet, Firoozeh Dumas twist the meaning of her title to something people wouldn't think when they heard the title. Dumas takes a stereotype in the title to grab our attention.

femininity. Society and the media are the sole reasoning that women have such high standards and perfection to look up to. Bartky mentioned the article that when society viewed even the most perfect women like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Farrah Fawcett, as “sex objects” but they wanted to be more than that.

A large portion of contemporary film and theatre has been lacking in substance. More often than not, we are presented with a “been there, seen that” scenario. One such exception to this rule is Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a film by John Cameron Mitchell that was released in 2001. Set primarily in post-Cold War America, Hedwig is a film that characteristically breaks convention. Our story follows Hedwig, a forgotten and confused homo…trans…well, human being.
