HOW WOMEN ARE BEING PACKAGED
AND SOLD IN ADVERTISING TODAY
On Saturday, May 9, at 3:00pm at Pasadena City College’s Vosloh Forum, an entertaining, educational and empowering forum examines how women are being portrayed in commercial media today. Entitled “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby?” this special program will survey mainstream television and print ads and will look at how female body images are being thinned, stretched, tweaked, distorted, sexualized, and objectified while older women are being erased before our very eyes. What are the trends? And what does it all mean for men as well as women? And what can be done to return a little reality to reality tv?
A New Media production, “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby?” is part of a public affairs program produced at Pasadena City College. This will be the first production with a “live” audience. Using history to frame headlines, listeners travel through time in a quest for context.
“You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby?” starts its examination with a brief stop in 1969, before returning to present-day images and commentary by a panel of experts followed by questions and answers exchanged with the audience. While normally a radio show, this particular program of the “A Figure of Speech” series will be made available as a Mother’s Day video podcast via the Internet. The special 90-minute program concludes with a coffee and tea mixer outside on the Vosloh Patio to encourage further discussion and interaction with audience members.
This event is free and open to the public. All are welcome. As this program was inspired by Mother’s Day, a special invitation is extended to anyone, male or female, who has or had a mother. Reservations are recommended and may be made by calling 626-607-7457 or online via comment on the RSVP page of http://afigureofspeech.podbean.com/
Pasadena City College is located at 1570 E. Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. On-campus parking is $2.
