This is protest through play - a pleasurable misbehaviour that reflects a feminism for the twenty-first century. Jacki Willson discusses how, whether through pastiche, parody, or pure pleasure, artists, artistes and indeed the spectators themselves can operate in excess of the restrictive images which saturate our visual culture. By referring to a wide spectrum of examples, including Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, Matthew Barney, Dr Sketchy's, Audacity Chutzpah, Burly Q and Carnesky's Ghost Train, Being Gorgeous demonstrates how contemporary female performers embody, critique and thoroughly relish their own representation by inappropriately re-appropriating femininity. 410 0$aInternational library of cultural studies ;$v27. 606 $aFeminine beauty (Aesthetics) 606 $aFemininity 606 $aSex role 606 $2Feminism & feminist theory 615 0$aFeminine beauty (Aesthetics). 615 0$aFemininity. 615 0$aSex role. 676 $a305.42 700 $aWillson$b Jacki$01658450 801 0$bIDEBK 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813426603321 996 $aBeing gorgeous$94012463 997 $aUNINA
