Jill mentioned it over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feministe.us\/blog\/archives\/2007\/03\/22\/just-when-you-think-fashion-couldnt-get-any-more-misogynist\/\">Feministe<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wimnonline.org\/WIMNsVoicesBlog\/?p=462\">Jennifer at WIMN&#8217;s Voices<\/a> has a much longer post, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zap2it.com\/news\/custom\/photogallery\/zap-photogallery-antm8-crimescenevictims,0,698280.photogallery?coll=zap-photogalleries\">this link to the actual pictures<\/a>. The pictures also include the comments of the judging panel, which adds another touch of misogyny to the photo shoot. I saw the episode last night and dropped my jaw in amazement.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago the NYT magazine featured another blatantly misogynistic fashion spread. This spread included women in nooses and bondage. I was able to find the blogger Musings of a Working Mom who posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/slideshow\/2007\/03\/09\/magazine\/20070311_STYLE_SLIDESHOW_1.html\">a few of the pictures on her site (You can see all of the photos here.).<\/a> The photo from above is one example from the NYT Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>I say we start a letter writing campaign. If you want to email the New York Times Magazine about their photo shoot. Here is the email: magazine@nytimes.com<\/p>\n<p>America&#8217;s Next Top Model is sponsored by a few companies. One such company is Sprint. I found the name and email of some folks at Sprint. I&#8217;m not really sure exactly who one is supposed to contact, but you could CC an email to each of these folks:<\/p>\n<p>Sprint Nextel Executive Services<br \/>\n866-398-4606<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:executive.offices@sprint.com\"><font color=\"#148ab2\">executive.offices@sprint.com<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Director of Consumer and Business Communications Laura Lisec<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:Laura.m.Lisec@sprint.com\"><font color=\"#148ab2\">Laura.m.Lisec@sprint.com<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had a hell of a time finding contacts for Cover Girl, but they also sponsor ANTM if you can find a contact. In fact, if anyone knows the right people to contact, feel free to tell me in the comments section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean Kilborne, I hope you&#8217;re reading (I know she probably isn&#8217;t, but I figured I would give her a shout out anyways.).
