Research Paper: Models

     My research paper is going to consist of both a research paper and a
album containing pictures that was collected. My research paper is going to
provide information on what two guys imagine and think about when they think of
women. These two guys are Mike, my friend and Timmy, my cousin. These guys are
basically the guinea pigs in my experiment and their findings will be collected
in the album. The other half of the research project is the paper that will not
only explain the project but give information on the pressure that has been put
on so many women to look like perfect and in many ways models.
     With the experiment, I handed both Mike and Timmy four magazines: two
Mademoiselles and two Allures. I then asked them to go through them and rip out
the pictures that they would want "their women" to look like. The collection of
their ideal women is in the first half of the album. Notice that the pictures
are mostly of models that are half dressed, thin and in provactedly positioned
posies. The makeup on these women are all perfect and their hair is obviously
not out of place. The selection of pictures not surprisingly were of women who
not only were half dressed but also in their undergarments. The second half of
the experiment was basically done in the same way; but this time I asked for
them to tear out pictures that they would want their wives to look like. With
four different magazines they tore out pictures of more conservetly dressed
women. Their selection still consisted of beautiful women, only this time
they were wearing clothes that the average person would be able to wear
on the streets and not be called a dirty name. The women were still
beautifully made up the a hair and makeup but this time it wasn't so dramatic;
their poises were also "innocent"; I'm not surprised. But what did surprise me
though was that their style in pajamas totally changed. In the first part of the
experiment the two guys picked out the pictures of the women wearing what I
would consider "tacky" nightgowns, but for their wives they picked out the
pictures where "softer" and a lot less "showy" I guess at that point they did
take into consideration that comfort is more important then what it looks like.
These two guys, the guinea pigs, is a very small of a large majority of men with
these expectations. From the information that I gathered from the guys, Mike and
Timmy, the expectations that they have for women is "to always look their best,
and to do whatever that is possible to make them (men) happy."(I personally
think that they are still living in their dream world.) Men, for some unknown
reason, feel and want "their women" to always look perfect. They show their
desire for these perfect creatures but also in real everyday life. For example
in the movie "Pretty Women" Julia Roberts portrayed a prostitute who was dressed
up transformed into the "perfect women" by Richard Gere. He not only bought all
name brand clothes to dress her up in but also was taught how to act like
a "proper women" with all the lessons in etiquette. The movie not only gave
the message that women should be "transformed" into what the men desire; but
also sent the message that some women are willing to change in order to live
up to the man's expectations.
     The men's expectations has also developed into really big problems for
us, the everyday women. The problem that many women have is the problem with our
weight: we are either underweight or overweight. In an article of the
Mademoiselle magazine, a writer wrote in that, "My friend won't stop talking
about her new diet plan. She's absolutely obsessed with food. I want...
