Blog 3 - Image
I'm not sure if I copied the image in here correctly but it is the cover of Jane magazine(September issues) that features Hillary Duff on the front. She definitely looks much more grown up than what you see her as on the Lizzy Maguire show. I did a search for "Disney Girl pics" on google and this popped up. What I thought was interesting is that the front cover features her very skinny skinny body in a very adult dress next to the headlines/feature articles of "Hillary Duff - dating older men, her new teeth and what she does when mom isn't around." Below this there are a couple of articles featured in this same issue that say "party all night and go straight to work looking rested" and another one one about eating disorders. I was actually pretty shocked by the cover as most of her following probably is a younger crowd. I was definitely more bothered by this after our discussions in class about role models & Disney characters/shows. Normally, I probably wouldn't have looked at this twice but I thought it was interesting that this is one of the images that was displayed when typing in "Disney Girls." Especially a more negative message if a younger child was looking online for pictures featuring their favorite "Lizzy Maguire" actor - this is not a very good "role model" or positive message.
