Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss
Representation (90 min; TV-14 DL) uncovers a glaring reality we live
with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer
Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the
under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in
America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often
disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for
women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to
feel powerful herself.
In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural
norms, the collective message that our young women and men
overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value and power lie in her
youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader.
While women have made great strides in leadership over the past few
decades, the United States is still 90th in the world for women in
national legislatures, women hold only 3% of clout positions in
mainstream media, and 65% of women and girls have disordered eating
behaviors.

Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with
politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, like
Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret
Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem build momentum as Miss
Representation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will
leave the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective.

Baby Beauty Queens
As the American phenomenon of the
children’s beauty pageant hits the UK, this documentary uncovers a
surreal new world where nine-year-olds get fake tans and seven-year-olds
wear contact lenses.
With the grand final of the first ever
Mini Miss UK beauty contest taking place at a leisure centre in Milton
Keynes, it soon becomes clear that tantrums and tiaras may prevail over
perfect poses and pouts. The mastermind behind the pageant is a
middle-aged ex-beauty queen, who plans the entire event from her
stairwell in Colchester.
The film follows three girls and their
mothers in the lead up to the big event, and as they prepare to dazzle
the judges the real reasons why they are all desperate to be crowned
Mini Miss UK become apparent.
From the evangelical Christians who are convinced that God will help
them win the pageant to the disadvantaged kid for whom the contest holds
the key to a better life, the film portrays an eccentric, and at times
disturbing, snapshot of modern Britain.Space Barbie
The world knows Valeria Lukyanova as the
girl who turned herself into a real-life Barbie doll. Controversy has
surrounded her every move since her computer-perfect visage went viral
last year.
However, what most of the world doesn't
know is that Valeria is not a real girl at all, but a time-traveling
spiritual guru whose purpose is to save the world from the clutches of
superficiality and negative energy.
Valeria, AKA Space Barbie, gives us
exclusive access to her world to show us how physical perfection truly
is the best medium through which to deliver life-changing philosophy to
the human race.
For more Space Barbie, take a look at our fashion shoot with her from this year's photo issue.

EXPOSED:
ANGELINA JOLIE PART of a clever CORPORATE SCHEME TO PROTECT BILLIONS In
BRCA Gene Patents, INFLUENCE SUPREME COURT Decision
(NaturalNews) Angelina Jolie’s
announcement of undergoing a double mastectomy (surgically removing both
breasts) even though she had no breast cancer is not the innocent,
spontaneous, “heroic choice” that has been portrayed in the mainstream
media. Natural News has learned it’s all part of well-timed for-profit corporate P.R. campaign that
has been planned for months and just happens to coincide with the
upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision on the viability of the BRCA1
patent.
This is the investigation the mainstream media refuses to touch. Here, I explain the corporate financial ties, investors, mergers, human gene patents, lawsuits, medical fear mongering and the trillions of dollars that are at stake here. If you pull back the curtain on this one, you find far more than an innocent looking woman exercising a “choice.” This is about protecting trillions in profits through the deployment of carefully-crafted public relations campaigns designed to manipulate the public opinion of women.

The signs were all there from the
beginning of the scheme: Angelina Jolie’s highly polished and obviously
corporate-written op-ed piece at the New York Times, the
carefully-crafted talking points invoking “choice” as a
politically-charged keyword, and the obvious coaching of even her
husband Brad Pitt who carefully describes the entire experience using
words like “stronger” and “pride” and “family.”
