Question 11

Both the Radway article "Women Read The Romance: The Interaction of Text and Content" and the Ouellette article "Inventing The Cosmo Girl: Class Identity and Girl-Style American Dreams" seamlessly fit along with my overall topic for the semester. The articles discuss the use of fantasy in advertising as well as the construction of certain demographics. This Gucci advertisement blatantly displays the elements of female fantasy, being dominant over a man in more ways than one, and a possibly 'typical' Cosmo girl.
