Had to refresh my memory about Ellen’s style over the years. Hello from the depths of 3rd year PhD land! This week has been an exciting foray into the past 20 years of lesbian media representation, from k.d. lang to Ellen through to The L Word and contemporary coverage of Kristen Stewart’s ‘gal pals’. It’s noContinue reading “When it’s sunny, it’s heaps sunny!”

Read all about it!
Many moons have passed since I mentioned Canadian media but I present to you: Duguay, S. (2012). Review of the book The media gaze: Representations of diversities in Canada, by A. Fleras.

And now in waiting for my invitation, I think I’ve worn out the refresh button on my Gmail and frustrated my Facebook friends with all the contentContinue reading “P is for Pinterest… And Pink”
