The Four Faces of Eve Magnet Set

I made these magnets with True Story paper, as a play on the film/book the Three Faces of Eve. Have you seen it? I found it a bit schmaltzy, but still worth the watch, especially if you like crazy lady movies (I do!)

They're a one of a kind set, and you can find them here.

Sexual Indiscretions and Digital Monsters

Brock. Does anyone outside of the soap opera, romance novel, candy, and didactic, post war, women's magazines, world have that name? He'd have to be an oily bohunk.

Are you out there, Brock?

I haven't read the story yet, but ten bucks says she goes a little too far (heavy petting? all the way?) with Brocky-Boy, and learns a valuable lesson on the naughtiness of sauciness.

What a shame.

If these ladies were encouraged to shop around a bit, perhaps there would have been less fifties ennui - fewer unhappy marriages, and less vagina fear. True Story magazine is rife with tame the vagina** propaganda. There's more to come, my pretties.

**Honest to Pete, I googled "tame the vagina" & that Digimon with boob sidebar link is what I got. What the huh? Poor Digi!

I'm mostly ignorant about Digimon. They're Digital Monsters. I just learned that. Something new everyday.

Wow!

Right? I think I'll have to try this.

She used marmite as glue. Extra Awesome!

Twilight: The Abridged Script | The Editing Room

I have a cranky soft spot for the Twilight film (soon to be films). It's a campy, Lifetime for Women meets vampires, silly fest - and an easy way to escape for 2 hours. The bad make-up, the sparkles, the one-note performances... I just wish Bella would grow a pair.

I do, however, take issue with the books, and the sad message they send out to girls: love him- even if he's violent, abusive, withholds his affection, plays games, makes you so depressed you can't leave your room for 6 months, because eventually, if you hold on, the asshole you're in love with will change for you.

I won't even start on the poor quality of the writing. Bella has about as much personality as a cold pancake.

That's the romantic dream? A sad teenager "finds herself" only through the "love" of her controlling, monster boyfriend? Isn't that message a little old, a lot sexist, and incredibly depressing?

GROSS.

I might feel differently if there weren't 8 gazillion other messages out there in the world telling girls to be submissive. It pisses me off.

I understand, if you think I'm taking this too seriously. It's just a book! You might be thinking. I don't agree with you. It's taken on a life of its' own.

This is spot on, & made me laugh:

I Was a Teenage Hussy

Hooray for this find! -- 5 vintage magazines from the late 50's and early 60's.

I want to know more (taken from cover stories) ::

Are my husband's demands immoral?
Tramp Wife : he married me on a dare
I lived it up, now I can't live it down

I'm almost positive that among the didactic trash in these 5 issues, there's a story of a lesbian who was "fixed" and is now free to love men again. What a wonderful message!

If you think the mainstream women's glossy magazines of today inspire homogenized conformity, try their predecessor's. The longstanding history of making women feel inadequate by pretending to bond with them, is a tricky, icky concept.

By the way, what the heck is Ellen doing advertising Maybelline/Cover Girl? She's a vegan! Those companies test on animals. (Patty? I need to write a letter, and quit mouthing off.)

The doll magazine was 10 cents, and is damaged, but there are a few amazing doll images just waiting to be turned into a pin-back or magnet. Fun - and a bit weird for me.

Dolls freak me out. The little soul suckers! There's a reason they make scary movies about them, but the magazine was too delicious at the price.

This looks silly, sure, but if I had seen this as a child, I would have been terrified.

Happy Tuesday! :)
