Whitney's further Reflections on Bedroom Culture

"Boys are thought to occupy the public world for their leisure and subcultural activities, while girls are thought to resort to the private sanctuary of the bedroom where they read teeny bopper magazines and indulge in fantasies with their girlfriends about rock stars and Jackie pin-ups" (McRobbie 1991: 72).

I love this Erin! I remember you saying how you created your first blog because you were tired of reading fashion blogs. What we are doing is resisting the reality portrayed in the above quote. This technological shift in bedroom culture is uniting the private and public spheres so girls can create alternatives for other girls to be inspired to live out who they truly are instead of subscribing to and reproducing heteronormative cultural clichés!!
