Hairspray: Lensing Questions!


Hairspray has evoked senses of idealism, in which racial segregation is a thing of the past. It has also illuminated to us what large influences sponsors have over prizes.

Hence, my lensing questions are:

1. With reference to Macdonald, how might integrating both "Blacks" and "Whites" in The Corny Collins Show influence the homogenising of mass culture in Baltimore?


2. With reference to Street, how would the prediction of future sales and reputations influence the thoughts and decisions of the sponsor, Ultra Clutch Hairspray, on Miss Teenage Hairspray?

P.S. I love musicals!!! (:

Not My Swan Song

All credit goes to Zul for asking (begging actually) me to join this delightful class. Before class started, feelings of excitement and apprehension overwhelmed me because I did not know what to expect. After a meaningful conversation with Ms Coleen, my fears were unfounded. Thus, I look forward to a journey of academic writing this Semester!
