……….As I was going through my wardrobe in anticipation of the sitting with TW, an overwhelming feeling of anxiety came over me. I was born and raised in a catholic environment with fairly conservative parents. I wondered how my family would react to a compilation of eroticism and fashion. Modeling had only become a recent passion of mine. I have participated in shoots ranging from avant-garde to beauty, but I never agreed to the nudity genre. To this day, I have conformed to my far from liberal background. Ultimately, I was intimidated by Tony’s visions.

Don’t get me wrong, I have always admired TW’s work and his eye for beauty—I just could never envision myself in any of his models’ shoes. I knew one of the models he had previously collaborated with, who seemed so in tune with her body and sexuality. He reminded me of a fatherly figure who had an innate passion for art and enormous love for the female body. Both key traits I admire.

……….Gender discrimination is revealed through the transformation of a male to a female. Orlando is brought up in an aristocratic society and is exposed to famous philosophers and poets like Nicholas Greene. Orlando has the capability to choose a woman and ability to be an ambassador to Constantinople as well. Orlando has the capability to compose poems and express himself through writing. Orlando has the upper hand in society as a male in society, but even if he were of the middle class he would still be in the same position. Orlando’s transformation shocks, yet excites the town, especially with the trumpets blaring. In effect Woolf hypothesizes what would happen in society if she were to come out as well as demonstrates her own hesitations with her true nature. A critic named Toni A. H. McNaron focuses on Woolf’s homosexuality within her article A Lesbian Reading when she claims, “The whole question of identification became central to my evolving connection with Virginia about seventeen years ago” (McNaron 15). McNaron characterizes Woolf’s sexuality as a way of characterization. Woolf demonstrates the transformation of Orlando as her own attempt to express empowerment with women.

Orlando realizes once he is a woman that she does not have the advantages she once did. Orlando attempts to reconcile her writing ability and does so successively. She travels with a tribe of gypsies and Orlando recognizes the separation between the socio-economic classes. Men from the tribe observe her intellect and as a reaction plot her murder. In Woolf’s excerpt, she illustrated men’s disapproval of women’s discernment, when she clarifies, “…There was an enormous body of masculine opinion to the effect that nothing could be expected of women intellectually. Even if her father did not read out loud these opinions, any girl could read them for herself; and the reading, even in the nineteenth century, must have lowered her vitality, and told profoundly upon her work” (Woolf 54). Men’s opinion of women’s discernment was extreme disgust and denied women’s capability of intellectual expression. Woolf stresses the major disadvantage of women and subservience in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Orlando is a prime example of Woolf’s contempt with societal standards in the eighteenth century and difficulty with her own sexual desires.

Virginia Woolf is ambiguous with her definition of the genders. In the beginning of the novel, Orlando’s gender is skewed and she sets readers up for confusion. Woolf portrays Orlando to be partially feminine when she states, “But, alas, that these catalogues of youthful beauty cannot end without mentioning forehead and eyes” (Woolf 12). Rarely is a male described as being beautiful – a male is praised for her masculinity or for his chiseled jaw. Woolf though adds a sentiment of feminity to Orlando’s character. He is known for his shapely legs, another feminine attribute. Through Woolf’s female touch she better explains her sexuality and underlying hardships. She uses Orlando as a way of expressing her own difficulty with coming out. Woolf is affected by her own hidden sexuality, but she opts to set the novel in the Elizabethan time period, a time of limited expression for women.

……….During the Elizabethan time period women were unable to express themselves through writing or to hold their own opinions without criticism. Women had to depend on men, whether they had a choice or not. In the excerpt of Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, she exemplifies women’s lack of independence, “She had no chance of learning grammar and logic, let alone of reading Horace and Virgil. She picked up a book now and then, one of her brother’s perhaps, and read a few pages. But then her parents came in and told her to mend the stockings or mind the stew and not moon about with books and papers” (Woolf 47). Women were at a major disadvantage in comparison to men. Men were able to receive education and women were domesticated to house chores. Parents reinforced the inferiority of women by forcing them into the kitchen. In relation to Orlando, Woolf works backwards to demonstrate gender discrimination

How can women gain an upper hand with the eighteenth century limitations and man’s superiority in society? In the two texts, Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe and Fantomina by Eliza Haywood, one protagonist connives their way to fulfill empty vanity whereas the other manipulates for financial satisfaction. Moll, the protagonist from Moll Flanders discovers her independence from the exchange of sexual favors for monetary value and eventually begins a career in thieving when she reaches middle age. Moll is on the low end of the totem pole. Fantomina who is considered aristocratic is intrigued by the idea of prostitution in order to win over an unreliable suitor. Each protagonist views the manipulation of man as the starting point of feminism. Although both women seize control by the means if manipulation only Moll attains true satisfaction, whereas Fantomina does not.

Throughout the course of each novella and novel the usage of disguise is crucial to each character’s means of control. Fantomina is first intrigued by a prostitute, which spurs her many disguises. Fantomina can envision herself consuming attention that this particular prostitute receives. Ultimately she decides to dress down for acknowledgement.

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Tony Ward

……….I waited in anticipation for the Atomic arrival. I had worked with the bombshell before – but this time around I knew things were going to be a little bit different. We have been working on a pretty tight friendship over the last year or two – gaining more confidence in each other along the way and therefore more trust. Atomic enjoys comfort and this time around was planning to reveal more flesh. She didn’t disappoint and always has me calling back for more……

Atomic Bombshell: So, would you ever consider giving up sports to be a dating/sex advice columnist?

.

Steve: Well, it would be odd to have to choose between the two, but I have written dating advice columns mainly targeted at nerdy guys teaching them how to be men instead of piddling boys.

.
AB: If I was a nerd right now, what advice would you give to me to stop piddling, move out of my mom’s basement and give up my dungeons and dragon’s??

.

Steve: The first advice is to talk to girls like they’re actual people
Don’t worry about being agreeable or kissing her ass. Treat her like a person and she’ll be much more interested. I see guys struggle with that all the time.

.

AB: Did you date a lot before you settled down?

.

Steve: I made up for my awkwardness in high school, yes. I had my single idiot time on the road
I don’t like the term “settle down” because it wasn’t settling. This was reaching beyond my league.

.

AB: That’s a wonderful way of putting it!

.

AB: So let’s get back to your career for a minute, you do multiple things with comedy & writing. What would you like to do? What are some of your immediate goals?

.

Steve: I have a movie that is very close to being made. That would be wonderful
I’ve also gotten into the business side of things. I own pieces of a few clubs, and I’m expanding that.

.

AB: A movie! That’s exciting!! As a writer, that a major dream to have, come true!

.

AB: Congratulations on all your upcoming success! Good luck on your tour for PICK YOUR BATTLES which hit #1 on itunes comedy chart on February 15th!!

.

Steve: Thanks so much!

Atomic Bombshell: I saw that you became well known during your college years. Did it help you gain popularity with the ladies, as well?

.

Steve: I don’t think any lady has ever said, “Wow, you run that sports website? We should totally do it!”

.
AB: Obviously, you didn’t have a lot of cheerleaders at that college?

.

Steve: At Columbia? No…

.

AB: Still those were great accomplishments and that adds to a man’s sex appeal.

.

Steve: Our athletes didn’t even get laid, let alone the guys who wrote about them.

.

AB: That’s really sad.

.

Steve: Actually, it’s kind of awesome that people didn’t care about that shit.

.

AB: What was your first dating/bad sex experience like?

.

Steve: When I lost my virginity, she was allergic to the spermicide.
So we had to get new condoms and try again the next morning

.

AB: Allergic? Like what happened?

.

Steve: Burning? Crying?

.

AB: I can’t believe she would try again after that I don’t think I would.

.

Steve: Well, we were allegedly in love. It wasn’t her first time, it was mine.
Lets be fair, she was also a 19-year-old girl who hadn’t had sex in several months.
Maybe she loved me; maybe she wanted to have sex?
Your guess is as good as mine.

.

AB: Crying, burning, that definitely sounds like love to me!
At least how I remember it-

.

Steve: Well it was only bad for her briefly – we started, 2 seconds later we stopped, and she was okay within an hour.

.

AB: Do you think she tells people this story?

.

Steve: No, she’s a Rabbi now. I doubt she tells anyone.
