1) This series is about the way girls believe that they need to act or dress or look like in order to be considered beautiful by our culture. It’s called Girl Culture because the need to be beautiful has been morphed into an all consuming thought that is in the back of every girls mind.
2) This series came about by the author , Lauren Greenfield, digressing her photo style and remembering her teenage years as the girl culture had really swallowed her. She remembered how it was important to be thin, sexually appealing, and fashionable.
3) This series is more journalistic as it documents the culture that is still at large and controlling girls everywhere.
4) A lot of this series makes me uncomfortable. I’m a girl and I’ve fallen into the trap of girl culture. I’m still in that trap as I constantly obsess over being pretty and what’s wrong with my body.
5) I would have probably have shown more picture on how younger girls are obsessing over it and becoming moms at such a young age.
6) As I read the authors thoughts on her series I’m reminded of memories of my own experiences with girl culture. I can remember the first time I thought my self ugly, the first time a boy showed interest in me, the first time I wore make up, and so on so forth.
