Toxic Shock: Go, Susan, Go!
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/go-susan-go.html
Examining how women appear in advertising and motion media: deconstructing gender roles and meaning. Friday, March 27, 2009. Go, Susan, Go! Ok, I haven't seen this flick yet, and I'll admit I wanted to see it before even reading any reviews. But Slate's review. Today pretty much cemented my excitement. DreamWork's Monsters vs. Aliens. Looks like a tremendous amount of fun. Why did the Slate article catch my eye over the NYT? An excerpt from the first paragraph:. Monsters vs. Aliens. Go, Susan, Go!

Toxic Shock: Oscars, cont.
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/2008/02/oscars-cont.html
Examining how women appear in advertising and motion media: deconstructing gender roles and meaning. Sunday, February 24, 2008. So I began thinking about the commercials we've seen tonight so far, and how this is the second most expensive ad-buy of the year. If the Superbowl is all about beer, guys, and talking animals. Then the Oscars are about the women. American Express, Mastercard, Dove, L'Oreal, Cadillac, and Venus have been the big advertisers of the night. Cadillac has even aired a spot.

Toxic Shock: An Axe Campaign I Like?
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/axe-campaign-i-like.html
Examining how women appear in advertising and motion media: deconstructing gender roles and meaning. Thursday, March 12, 2009. An Axe Campaign I Like? Believe it or not, I really dig the new Axe campaign that's been airing for the last week or so. Rather than the tired and offensive depictions of women fawning over guys who use the soap/gels, unable to control themselves, these new spots are, pardon the pun, spot-on. You and your over-gelled spikes are gonna be lonely. My biggest beef with the campaign?

Toxic Shock: The Woman I Want to Become
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/2008/02/woman-i-want-to-become.html
Examining how women appear in advertising and motion media: deconstructing gender roles and meaning. Sunday, February 24, 2008. The Woman I Want to Become. So I'm watching the Oscars (only having seen two of the films: Michael Clayton and Ratatouille), and there was an incredible American Express commercial on just now. It wasn't flashy- just a celebrity voiceover and a glimpse into her life. I was rummaging in the fridge looking for a snack when it came on. View my complete profile. Ads of the World.

Toxic Shock: Triple Chocolate Love
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/2008/08/triple-chocolate-love.html
Examining how women appear in advertising and motion media: deconstructing gender roles and meaning. Monday, August 18, 2008. It's been awhile, I know. I've been out in the wilderness, foraging. Ok, perhaps that's not true since I live in Brooklyn, but I saw a commercial tonight that couldn't be ignored. The product itself looks delicious as hell: Triple Chocolate M&Ms, a combination of dark, milk, and white chocolate. If these photos. Or maybe these really should. Thanks for posting this commercial.

Toxic Shock: April 2007
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Examining how women appear in advertising and motion media: deconstructing gender roles and meaning. Friday, April 27, 2007. Good news and a disappointing fact. Good news: Jodi Piccoult is writing a short run of Wonder Woman for DC comics. Thursday, April 26, 2007. A six is a six, a ten is a ten- in Spain, at least. Why does this have to be such a head ache? My waist doesn't change size in between stores- mall pretzels aren't that fattening. So, you can imagine that this is great news. Have said that eve...
