Harry Styles

Harry Styles challenges social norms by wearing clothes like dresses, skirts, and jewelry that are usually labeled as "just for women." By doing this, he shows his fans that clothes don't have a gender and that anyone can have fun with fashion. He also rejects the "tough guy" stereotype by being very open about his emotions and kindness in his music and interviews. His style encourages people to stop worrying about what is "normal" and to just be themselves. Ultimately, he uses his fame to prove that being masculine can include being soft, colorful, and expressive. I really look up to Harry Styles because he shows his viewers that there can be different types of people all throughout the world and no one has to fit one type of mold.

    I LOVE HARRY STYLES. He is our pop king, and his style is absolutely everything and just might be better than his music. This post is chef's kiss.

    Yes! Harry Styles receives so much criticism for the fact that he refuses to confine to gender norms and I love the fact that he continues to not back down. He continues to dress and act the way he wants to, which is so powerful!

    I have LOVED Harry Styles since the early One Direction days, and it honestly makes me proud of little me for choosing someone to look up to that has continued to make an effort to make changes for the better in society, and continues to push the boundaries of societal norms.

    I have loved Harry since his One Direction days!! I remember when this photoshoot came out and I was so happy and confused why people were actually mad about it. I think Harry has done a great job of pushing back gender norms as this is not the only time we have seen him wearing a dress. He continues to wear and act however he wants and I think it's really inspiring for his fans to see. I was lucky enough to win the Ticketmaster war so I cannot wait to see him in October!!

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
