165786: cool

165786: and the backlash
k
There's a good link to the shit Daily mil
*mail
and a biblical reference to her being godlike, commanding authorty!
*authority

me: just looking now, as an introduction on the panel, you could introduce the case study of susan boyled we could all comment on how we can read garden oden ideology, heteronormatviity into her treament and draw on the quotes from the essay

165786: good idea
yes, start off with her and then relate it to the garden of eden and vileness of makeovers in general
I'll find some good trinny stuff
Ieva's boyfriend knows Trinny!!

me: we should get her to come in and make one of us over...

165786: HA HA

i'm happy with my cellutite!
oops, funny freudian slip-cellutite instead of cellulite!

me: Ha ha

165786: i'm looking forward to this presentation

me: we should just have fun with it

165786: i hope the video gets dont b4 tmrw

165786: yes, always read not down

(I'm off)
notbadbye

me: We should def say something about how they are all critising her forhaving a makeover, its like they want to keep her as this objet of disgustion, keep her abjected, so we can all look at her and feel better about ourselves!!

165786: exactly
to 'preserve her unique looks'

me: which we have classified as ugly
and 'virgin' is batted about as a dirty word

165786: 'they' not us

me: we

165786: Ina hasnt' seen the trinny and susanna stuff so see if you can find any good short clips to send her

me: yeah

producing knowledge
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/we-wont-wear-it--pagans-furious-with-trinny-and-susannah-456019.html

me: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_03/longman2311_800x513.jpg

165786: Ha frickin ha-that's actually quite funny
aklthough the pagans don't think so!

me: The stunt was one of many in the series' campaign to "give the great British public a more stylish future". Others included kitting out every woman in an entire town with a properly fitted bra, going down the red carpet wearing a giant pair of fake breasts, and transforming Susannah into a 70-year-old woman.

165786: He's just said 'personally i think the wilmington man was female orriginally anyway'!!

165786: why do you think they put shape on the two big sticks?
I can see why they have shaped the ankles and hips but not why the sticks

Sent at 19:47 on Monday

me: i think they were always there

165786: no, look on the phot-the sticks seem to have had flowers or bells or something added to them
probably to make them less phallic and a bit girly
i've popped it on the blog

me: oh yeah, its probably a pole for her to dance around
shes wearing shin pads too

165786: ha-that's to make them look more shapely
to make her ankles look more slender

165786: funnliy enough, it seems even easier to organise this presentation remotely than when we are together!! not the talking bit but by using the blog and this chat thing we can almost see how each others mind is working

me: it digital infomation, much more efficient, don't have to worry about that social interaction business

165786: exactly
!
me: it dead at work now so ts a perfect time to do Critical theory stuff
165786: great

me: interestingly my colleague spends his evenings on facebook at

165786: i think i am starting to feel the structure coming on-do you?
he he
they should ban it

me: chat, so he's doing a similar thing

165786: should we leave this last sentence in when we paste this to the blog?!!

me: ha

165786: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-488236/Trinny-Susannah-reveal-12-womens-body-types--you.html

me: this essay is really very good

165786: OMG-read the description for the 'Brick'!

me: Al those women look the bloody same

165786: read the lollipop

me: ... youre masculine lines!!
essentailist bullshit

165786: such crap
anyway, my shape isn't there-how on earth am i going to know what to wear? How to fit in?

me: You dont, you should just kill yourself
sex on a stick

165786: or buy a new body

me: thts rank, i'm going t lift quotes out of this

165786: or really expensive clothes so the men dont notice my unfeminine body

me: or pad yourself out with toilet tissu

165786: in the computer room
