after 69 years Wonder Woman new look starting issue 600
Wonder Woman was 1st seen in December, 1941, as a DC Comics’ superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. After 69 years, she is changing her look to keep up with the times. Gone are the days of sexy legs and super bootie. Today she is wearing more sensible clothing. Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman on a TV series, loves the new look.
“I think it will take time for people to get over not seeing a lot of leg. I think it’s going to be very sexy and it’s new and I love the little cap sleeve. You know, she’s a hip girl,” said Lynda Carter. Lynda Carter
Unfortunately, fans are not liking this new outfit, but here is the new writer, Michael Straczynski, explaining why he dropped Wonder Woman’s old super bootie and opted for the new look.
“It’s a look designed to be taken seriously as a warrior, in partial answer to the many female fans over the years who’ve asked, “how does she fight in that thing without all her parts falling out?”) She can close it up to pass unnoticed…open it for the freedom to fight…lose the jacket or keep it on…it has pockets (the other fan question, “where does she carry anything in that outfit?”, it can be accessorized…it’s a Wonder Woman look designed for the 21st century. The bracelets are still there, but made more colorful, tied on the inside and over the hand, with a script W on each of them that form WW when she holds them side by side…and if you get hit by one of them, it leaves a W mark. This is a Wonder Woman who signs her work…letting her enemies know that she’s getting closer.
“This is Wonder Woman reborn, literally and metaphorically: fast, elegant, tough, smart…the savior of her people, their guardian and protector…avenging the fall of Paradise Island, searching to discover why Paradise Island was abandoned by the gods. In the end, what she discovers will change her life and the world forever…and she will come face to face with a decision that will mean life or death for the entire human race.” via DList

Are our children’s childhood experiences being stolen by making them into a miniature adults? This is not something new. We’ve seen old paintings from the Victorian era where children also dress up as a miniature adults. The question is: As a parent, what is our role in this? We can’t always control how or what other people see or say about them. But we can certainly educate our children as to what they can say or see in our homes, all through open communication…
Interesting doc from National Film Board (Sexy Inc. Our Children Under Influence 0:35:26min), talking about over sexploitation of kids for the sake of consumerism. Tween market is a transition from kid to adult, introducing lip-gloss that the young girls have no need for by adding enticing flavors that appeal to them (cherry, vanilla…)
Would an adult wear this? Iif not, what makes it ok for a kid to wear it?
“Shopping gives meaning to our life? We have replaced religion, and spirituality with the shopping God” Young girls of 5/6 years old see sexy as an image, not sex. One point in the doc, one of group of girls from a workshop realized that most of the images she sees in teen magazines are not much different from that of a porno magazine. Se then gets very upset about how she sees these things as so normalized.

“Sophie Bissonnette’s documentary analyzes the hypersexualization of our environment and its noxious effects on young people. Psychologists, teachers and school nurses criticize the unhealthy culture surrounding our children, where marketing and advertising are targeting younger and younger audiences and bombarding them with sexual and sexist images. Sexy Inc. suggests various ways of countering hypersexualization and the eroticization of childhood and invites us to rally against this worrying phenomenon.”

Chanel #5 wanted to change their image from being a mother’s or grandma’s perfume. They reached back to a hit song from a decade before, from a commercial that played at the 1979 super-bowl.
1941 Inkspots hit ”I don’t want to set the World on Fire” directed by Ridley Scott.
Tapping into your feelings of yearning and sensuality makes the commercial linger in your memory long after seeing it. And Chanel has kept this fomula over the years and invested $100s of millions of dollars towards each of their commercials.
