A Block- Post Lady Gaga

Ms. Stuart, I really really enjoy theorizing on modern day advertisements, trends, and common sense. Even though some people dread talking about theory (John Michael, HAHA), I think its truly interesting and somewhat important to exploring where all of these ideas come from.

So I know that we discussed Lady Gaga's impacts on society and theorized on her image, but what other modern day things could we theorize about?

An idea that I'd love to theorize about is how celebrities create this image about what it means to be beautiful. Society sees the typical beauty as a skinny figure, so where did this come from? I, however, think the super skinny figure to some girls makes them unattractive. Who created this specific image to beauty? Who is to judge what is beautiful and what is not? This all leads to the question of 'What is beauty'?

What do you guys think?
