Hollywood Transformation

Today was rather bland .. mind you it’s only day #2. Yes, I’m complaining on the inside.. I just don’t know how people work 9-5 everyday. That’s pretty much what this is. 
Today was all about the Hollywood stars and the lifestyle and fashions they projected both on and off the screen. The big question is was what they presented just another ‘manufactured commodity’ or were they communicators of meaning. Regardless, these Hollywood stars would promote a certain ‘type’ which would feed consumption. This was not only limited to females by the 1980’s male stars now dominated and attracted a new target market 18- 24year olds. 
I place to watch A Street Car Named Desire tonight (1951). Get a head start on this essay
