http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/girlcult/greenfield05.html Beth posted a comment on one of my blogs that i didn't see until recently (because my computer wasn't emailing me notices yet) This work is so interesting. The link has amazing interviews with these young girls and their struggles being young girls. Some of the thing these girls said was creepy. I love this image of these girls getting ready for a school dance. i remember those feelings, the excitement, getting ready with friends. i felt like that was wayyy more fun than actually going. the girl in the image on the far right has the most amazing expression on her face. she is different from the rest of the group. in many ways she seems so young in comparison to the other girls. i wonder how much this photograph captured the genuine nature of these girls. the two girls on the end seem like girls with their awkward stances. the two in the middle have traded in their girl-ness for sexiness. I think this piece would be great to use with students and bring up conversations about feminine identity, and cliques. i wonder what they would say.
People blog about fashion a lot, especially young people. I once stumbled upon one made by a middle school girl. She was concerned about looking cool because she was starting middle school. I think the only people that posted were other middle school girls. they talked about make up but looking natural was very important to them.
Fashion blogs remind me of fashion collages from magazine images without the physical cutting and pasting manipulation.
