I wholesomely agree with this article and i love the angle that she took with it. I agree that women in the industry are pitted against men and it is a women jobs to look as they state; "Girls are allowed to be sexy, but not too sexy. Pure, but not a prude." In addition women or girls are only portrayed as long as they look 'pretty' or from the industries point of view perfect! That is why this article compares the treatment of men against the mistreatment of women in the industry and why there is a unbalance of expectations.

Katy Perry says she wants to hang up her sexy and revealing costumes so the audience will be focused on her music

Since we touched up on it a little in class, I wanted to share with you all this article about the Bratz dolls and how some parents think they're too sexy for their children. There is an argument from the company saying that it's only the adults that see "sex" but the children do not, what do you guys think?

I used to have loads of Bratz dolls when I was younger and I loved playing with them and dressing them up. I totally aggree with the statement in the article that 'Adults see sex in everything, but kids don't' as someone who had these dolls as a child it never crossed my mind these were oversexulaized, I wouldn't have even known what that meant!. I would make the comparisson to Barbies and comment that the parents who critize these dolls may have had Barbies when they were children.

1990s grunge/rock/punk singer Courtney Love calls Katy Perry boring, but is excited by Miley Cyrus, calling her a sexy hillbilly. She also provides a dig toward Robin Thicke.

This tumblr blog post contains images of various female artists who have appeared nude in their videos, noting the reaction to Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" has been different than to other artists' nudity, who have been called "artistic," "beautiful," "cute," and "sexy," while Cyrus gets shamed as "slutty."

I found this article with a picture of Nicki Minaj in her halloween costume which is basically next to nothing. I think it would be interesting to compare her halloween costume to Miley's as "Lil Kim" and how the media portrays these two performers based on their reputation.

This was a really good read! I totally agree with the person who wrote this article, I feel like girls are pressured to look "sexy" or it's ok for them to look that way ONLY on halloween and they can get away with it. I'm going to go look up Miley's costume now!

Rihanna continues to update her Instagram with scandalous pictures of herself.
