HW II: responding to reading

Reading magazines is something I believe every woman does monthly if not weekly, whether in the check out line, doctor’s office, at home or at work. A woman feels compelled to read about what is in a magazine. There is so much information not mentioned on the news or in the news papers that is interesting to so many…celebrity life, gossip, burning questions, sex, the typical Cosmopolitan magazine cover stories and much more not dared by most. Bloggers dare. They put themselves out there and write about sex, they write about the everyday burning questions and they write to the women standing in the check out lines when they are at home. Kline and Burstein project the possibilities that say its okay to write or blog about the topics less talked about but constantly thought of. In “From Cave Painting to Wonkette” they state that it will become the celebrities themselves telling those interested about their personal lives, answering questions and promoting the way they want to be promoted. It will become the celebrities. It will become the viewers. They will become one on line together blogging and reading. I myself am addicted to trash magazines, the ones that only come out once a month…if they were to be blogged about, or blogged by those I am reading about it would be more real, more raw, uncut gossip “straight from the horses mouth” so to speak twenty four seven! No waiting in check out lines just to read how Britney’s doing or going to the doctor’s office to see what’s new from Vogue, it is on-line, all the time just for us trash readers!! It is the new wave of blogging, the new wave of media, the new way for us to “coexist” as celebrity and everyday Joe.
