It Girls

Since this weeks topic was on media materialism, I would like to talk to you about the new show coming out on MTV Style called ‘It Girls’. It is a new mini series presented by a few of Australia’s fashion icons Mimi Elashiry, Alexandra Spencer and Kate Peck. The show will take viewers behind the scenes to a world unseen by most – the fashion and social media world. The three new age supermodel hosts have nearly one million social connections in combination, giving the show a lot of background. It looks very interesting indeed, as I have never really seen or heard of a show like it. Sure, you have you Next Top Model and Project Runways, whatever, but never something that is like this. I am looking forward to it. Especially with the gorgeous hosts!!

WOOHOO EVEN CLOSER NOW

So today was our last tutorial for semester one!!! OMG THOSE FEELS. Anyway, it was so good to finally come together all as a group and talk about our final drafts and see some of the amazing ideas that other members of the class have produced/are still producing. It was also a chance for my group to come together for nearly a final time to discuss our final project. It felt really good to have made it this far. If I have made it through the first hurdle, I’m sure I can make it through the rest. Now only to finalise the website. Wooooo!

(sorry for my over enthusiasm)

We are nearly there

Is it bad that I was very pleased about our last lectorial for the semester, well year…. Ooh I was so happy for it to all be over (sorry not sorry) but very surprised at how quickly it all flew past! I am glad I survived the first semester of university, well almost. Anyway, in our last lectorial for the semester we looked at Media Materialism. I didn’t listen very much (oops) but here is what I did take some notes on:

One thing in particular surrounding the topic that interested me was social constructivism and social determinism, which are two conflicting ideas attempting to explain the past, present and future – both including factors of technology and humanity. You have to ask if humanity is in charge of its own future? The question that stands in front among the topic of social constructivism. This represents a theory that suggest technology is something which is created and progressed by the actions and decisions of humanity. Therefore humanity should be in charge of its own fate.

Ugh it all bored me a tad. But you know what… That is all. We are done. We have survived the lectorials for semester one. Hoorah!!!!
