In my first picture, the explicit thing that is being portrayed in the picture is that they got the female laying on the ground to where you can see her breast very clear. The advertisement is for some alcohol and it was really not appropriate. The creaters of this ad might thought this would attract more men to the product. The second picture shows an explicit picture of a woman with her panties half way down to the point you can almost see her vagina. This also is not appropriate for this advertisement. In the first picture, the implicit message might be that the man standing over her might wants more than just a drink. The same thing goes for the second picture. Its like he is encouraging her to pull her panties down.


In this two pictures, there was not a whole lot of beauty myths but the two girls in these pictures seems to be under the men's control. It seems as if they are giving them men what they want. It seem like in every classical tell, a woman's job is to make then men happy and they seems like what the girls are doing in these pictures.


In the first picture, its seems like the man was showing that he was dominant over the woman by how he was standing over her. He had her layin on the ground under him like he had made her do it. In the second picture, the man in the picture was showing dominance by looking like he was taking advantage of the woman.

My third picture shows a picture of Condoleezza Rice. This works against the dominant myth by showing that a woman can reach positions of great power. Another things is not only is Condoleezza a woman, but she is also a black woman of power. So this picture goes against the dominant myth two ways and that is gender and race. If I was to make an advertisement, I would have the woman and the man laying together on a beach with appropriate clothing on a beach holding hands. That way neither one of them are doing no more than the other.

  1. I really like that you chose a picture of Condolezza Rice, who has been my biggest role model since I can remember. She shows that color is not only beautiful but you can be a woman of color who is beautiful, powerful and smart too!

  2. your third picture that is very revealing stands out alot to viewers. it makes it look like the men have the power and the girls are supposed to obey; the stereotype most pretty women get today
