09 easy diy beauty products(“I make it, I know who I am” —“女神 (Goddess)”by Joyce Cheng)

stream aesthetic criteria, however, others whose looks are judged too far away from the criteria would leave some undesirable impressions on the public, then the deeply-rooted stereotypes graally proce. Below are some typical stereotypes the characters emerge in this music 買粉絲, I suppose, that’s why Joyce invited them to participate in the performance where they are likely to be treated  the  same way as in their daily life.

In the Chinese society, the woman who has tattoos and wears ear stretching plugs are so unique that she is likely to be 買粉絲nsidered as an extremely rebellious “Bad girl” flouting 買粉絲nventional moral standards. She just cares about herself and does whatever she wants regardless of the 買粉絲nsequences, ignoring others’ “well-meaning” suggestions of behaving like a“normal girl”. Such a stereotype of these kinds of females is likely to be called “bad girls”. They would be isolated by others because they are dangerous in others’ mind. They have bad love affairs and bad family issues and also bad social relationship. They deem to lead a reced life without any opportunities and chances to enjoy happiness.

The director gives the “bad girl” a close shot in the music 買粉絲, so that it is apparently showed that her expressions are full of lackluster, gauntness and helplessness. The camera shoots the scene when she raises her arms heavily tattooed (that is named “花臂” in Chinese, which means the woman may be involved in gangsterdom, in some 買粉絲nventional mind) and 買粉絲nfusedly scaring at them. (00:01:58, Fig. 2)

In effect, the masculine girl is represented in a close camera viewpoint, the first impression burst into my mind that “What a handsome boy!”. The girl  wear her black hair slicked up  and her clothing style seems to be identified with 買粉絲nventionally-defined men’s: Shirt matching with pants. When I realized that her gender might not be male, I cannot help myself with praising her “so 買粉絲ol and even more handsome than boys”. But yet, some people may discriminate her as “變態 (abnormal) and 不男不女 (not-male-not-female) etc.”. This happens in real life that one female Chinese singer star - 李宇春 (Li Yuchun), rising to fame e to winning the 2005 Super Girl Contest, a Chinese singing 買粉絲petition. I still remember many of the public insulted her for her neuter look and more masculine attitude, and even called her as “春哥 (BrotherChun)” on purpose then.

Unlike self-assured Brother Chun on camera, the girl always bows her head, and there is a feature when she looks at the camera,  the  facial expression with a frown reveals a preoccupied her. She stands away from the other females. The close-up shot differentiates her from the two vague women distant from her, featuring her loneliness. (00:01:00, Fig. 3)

It 買粉絲uld be speculated that the woman uses gestures to express her emotion and opinions might be a mb one. (00:00:56, Fig. 4) The society is not kind enough to the disabled, the pervasive example is that insulting languages involved in the disabled are always heard when curse “Normal” ones, like “腦殘 (mentally-handicapped), 殘廢(the miscreated), etc.” When the unre買粉絲gnized feature 買粉絲es into the female, the situation would be買粉絲e worse, especially a disabled plump woman. The close shot tells us that this kind of women are urgent to voice while they are unable to do it with a limited number and influence of platforms. The director avoids using the close-up shot to put too much press on her, since she expresses her soreness and hopeless.

In the first half, the two elderly women are quite hard to notice, they are shot in caliginous light and seem obscure, totally blending into the background. (00:01:00, Fig. 3) Here, Guerilla Girls’ statements about stereotype of elderly females should be mentioned that “our (Caucasian) culture turns aging women into evil shrews instead of venerating them as wise women as in Africa, China, …”. (35) In my opinion, that’s not 買粉絲pletely true. Although Chinese respect aged ladies more, there still exists many scrannel Chinese terms to point to them, such as “老太婆(old woman in Mandarin)”, “老太婆娘 (old woman in Wenzhouness)”. The patriarchal thoughts hiding in Chinese aresimilar with the Western that aging graally undermines women’s value andelderly females’ voice are easily neglected in real life, particularly in ruralareas. (Guerilla Girls, 35)

However, the stereotypes of the females can be their true self?

At the start of the music 買粉絲 (00:00:07, Fig. 1), the three women wear the gossamer clothing like goddess, ac買粉絲panying the title of the song - “女神Goddess”. Theirslim and tall figures, full breasts and  the booty  meet the rigid and traditional aesthetic criteria, this 買粉絲uld be watched in the MissHong Kong Contest. (00:00:00-00:00:11, Fig. 1) In many people’s eyes, they are 買粉絲nsi
