Vanessa Williams Satire

Improved Essays
Vanessa Williams is in the fifth decade of her life. Yet, she still knows how to rock a bikini like someone 30 years her junior. Ironically, the former Miss America pageant winner bemoaned wearing two-piece swimwear on the first day of her new television chat show.

Vanessa Williams has the lead role in a new VH1 production that's set to debut next week. The 54-year-old former model-turned-actress stars alongside Chloe Bridges, Camille Guaty, Tichina Arnold and Fiona Gubelmann in "Daytime Divas."

The upcoming show is an adaptation of Star Jones' bestselling book, "Satan's Sisters," which is inspired by the real-life TV daytime talk show, "The View." Jones, 55, is one of the original co-hosts of the show (997 to 2006).

She and the panel of women appear in "The Lunch Hour" and chat about "bravely taking back the beach" with a gutsy move: flaunting their beach bodies in sexy bikinis, as told by TooFab.

During the action sequence, Vanessa Williams' character is confident in her curves and boldly showcases her curvy figure in a floral two-piece bikini. However, during a chat in between takes, Vanessa let on that she was rather uncomfortable putting her body on display.

    Satire is an important element in writing. It’s a way for writers to take a step back and comment on something; to show how ridiculous it is without just flat out saying it. Satire is usually used as a fun way of pointing out the faults in society and current events. The Other Paris by Mavis Gallant was written in 1956, barely a decade after World War 2 finished, the world was rebuilding and marriage was seen as a safe option, a way to move forward and start a life together. The main character of The Other Paris, Carol thinks of marriage as a security blanket rather than a lifelong commitment to the one you love, she accepts a proposal from a man named Howard, a man she hadn’t even known for three weeks…simply because she assumes that nobody…

    An action/crime series such as Narcos or Metastasis seemed to always be the easiest genre to attract both United States and Latin America. The attraction from the series comes from the action and thriller rather than the script and chemistry. However, in order to attract the Latino community with series that are comedy, romance or drama, the show needs to bring somewhat of a resemblance to a Telenovela and familiarity. Telenovelas are the reflection to what Latinos are currently interested in.…

    Satire In Brave New World

    • 982 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…

    Satire On Drugs

    In the United States something as simple as a drug possession charge can get you into serious trouble, with some offenses even marked as felonies. (Controlled Substances Act, 2014) This is a ludicrous idea, drug crimes are usually victimless, restricting drug usage violates basic human rights, and even tobacco and alcohol are legal. In addition to these things, putting drug charges on a person’s criminal record, or sending someone to jail on drug charges pushes more people to a life of crime. For these reasons, I believe that people should not be punished for using drugs.…

    She appeals to the emotions of her audience by displaying the drastic measures the contestants in the video took to look “perfect”. She states, “Blonder hair, flat chest, TV says bigger is better” and “South beach, sugar free, Vogue says thinner is better”, she shows that media is contradicting itself. Clips of girls dieting, throwing up their meals, taking diet pills, not eating, dyeing their hair to make it lighter in color, and having plastic surgery were flashed throughout the video. Adding this in her video proves that the effect of media is unpredictable, and that media is unsuitable to define the beauty of females. Instead of making society beautiful, media is making society ugly.…
