1. Dangerous Curves
This piece is a retrospective look at cinema’s infamous femme fatales, from the sultry and sexy Rita Hayward to today’s Angelina Jolie. A glance on how the femme fatale persona has evolved but still manages to hold on to the true characteristics of the dangerous female. From high heel wearing career woman to gun packing vixens, what makes them memorable and worthy of the title Femme Fatale.
2. American Consumerism
This a piece that sociologically and psychologically analyzes how and if the mainstream population is influenced and encouraged to consume name brand clothing among other materialistic objects endorsed by our Celebrity Culture. The overall question that I will attempt to answer is whether or not our Celebrity Culture (Musical Artists, Models, Actors, etc.) influence the buying habits of the average American Citizen.
3. Vanishing Celebrities
Has the pressure of stardom created a vanishing breed of stars. How many of today’s stars are physically wasting away. How many have succumbed to the silent predator of anorexia and/or bulimia, and why are these disorders becoming more prominent at an alarming rate. Is it a coping mechanism or is it in reality the pressures of stardom.
4. Presumed Innocent - due to Celebrity Status
Why are celebrities more apt to be forgiven for criminal activity due to their celebrity status. Can it be that their Stardom / Money buys justice. If justice is truly blind why is that celebrities are given special treatment when they presumably commit a crime?
5. Crime proves Thug Status
Does a hip/hop artist - Rapper have more credibility if they have a known criminal history. Does a wrap sheet secure instantaneous success in the hip/hop game. Does it lend credibility and notoriety for a rising star.
