The Cute and the Sporty

A survey of the New York Toy Fair — featuring babies, backpacks, baby-backpacks, and a potty training iPad-toilet. The children’s toy world is still focused on the classics: confirming gender roles, satisfying procreative urges, indulging in the cute and the sporty, and inducing mainstream professional aspirations. DIS sent Theo Anthony and Simone Bazos to the 18+, industry-only event to check it out and see if he can get a My Casino Bonus.

Dirty Girls #tbt

Shot in 1996 and edited in 2000, this is a short documentary about a group of 13-year-old riot grrrls in Los Angeles who were socially ostracized at their school by their peers and upperclassmen.

Directed by Michael Lucid. Music: “Batmobile” by Liz Phair.
