Book Description
My first thought, and I swear to you I am not making this up, was she looked like a hooker. A hundred-year-old- hooker. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I was where I agreed to meet her. I walked towards her thinking, what do I do next. My next shock was almost too much to comprehend. The dress was cut low in the front. Way too low. She was not wearing a bra. Her breasts were, how can I best describe them, well they were long. Yes I said long. Somewhat flat but definitely long. I do not generally carry a ruler when I go on a date why would I but when I got home I actually held a one up to my chest and tried to estimate what I had seen. They had to be six inches long. Do they make bras in a 36L? They hung there for all the world to see. Or at least me and a now shocked twenty-something year old hostess who opened the front door for us. I was brought up to be a gentleman. Not to embarrass or humiliate. So I smiled and led her inside. Maybe I walked a tad too quickly. A table by the far wall please. Maybe on the other side of the wall. THIS BOOK WILL FALL ON MANY THIRTY GROUNDS, Elke, Berlin I INTEND TO RECOMMEND IT TO ALL MY GIRFRINDS, Judi, L.A. THIS STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD TO GUYS AND GIRLS, Sly, Miami DONT PICK UP THE PHONE WITHOUT READING IT FIRST, ROBERT, NYC

Combining Aesthetic and Psychological Approaches to TV Series Addiction
Author: Sébastien Lefait
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527514498
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This book establishes, and then analyses, the interrelation between series and dependence by focusing on two aspects of their connection: the overconsumption of TV series, and the production devices that lead to it. Due to its two-sided nature, the volume brings together specialists from different backgrounds. On the one hand, it involves people working with addiction, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, whose analytical tools and statistics are extremely useful in assessing the prevalence of TV series addiction, as well as its consequences, in order to make sense of its mechanics. For similar reasons, the authors also include professionals working with children and teenagers, since youths under 18 are largely affected by addictive tendencies. On the other hand, other contributions here are authored by TV series specialists, producers and scriptwriters, as well as academics in the fields of film and TV series studies, cultural studies, and narratology. Their specific perspectives on the topic help better understand what it is about the construction or reception of TV series that aims to create, maintain, amplify, or, on the contrary, curb their ingrained addictive effects.

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Advertising, materialism and consumption are central aspects of contemporary Western culture. We are bombarded with idealised images of the perfect body, desirable consumer goods, and affluent lifestyles, yet psychology is only just beginning to take account of the profound influence these consumer culture ideals have on individuals’ sense of identity and worth.

In particular, it focuses on: the purchasing of material goods as a means of expressing and seeking identity, and the negative consequences of this psychological buying motivations in conventional buying environments and on the Internet the unrealistic socio-cultural beauty ideals embodied by idealized models. Throughout, different approaches from social psychology are integrated, such as self-completion, self-discrepancy and value theory, to create a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding the impact of internalising core consumer culture ideals on how individuals see themselves and the implications this has for their psychological and physical health.
