<BR>I totally agree!!
<BR>The whole "female DJ" phenomenon is blowing up, and definitely being
<BR>marketed.
<BR>I see "jiggy" music videos were all the DJ's at their party's are females.
<BR>I
<BR>drive by bus stops with adds for clothing lines using a picture of a female
<BR>DJ to market it. I open up one of my girly magazines, and theirs a picture
<BR>of a female with fake, long, shiny red nails cueing up the new mushroom
<BR>jazz
<BR>record endorsed by Maybeline.
<BR>I find this offensive, and quite pathetic. Showcasing a DJ based on their
<BR>sex
<BR>is sad!
<BR>As a Graffiti Artist I can relate to this, nothing bugs me out more then
<BR>someone giving me props for being a female, or other female artist's asking
<BR>me to join their "girl crew".
<BR>I do not find this empowering as a woman, it feels more like were taking a
<BR>step back and killing more hard work women have striven for since the days
<BR>of
<BR>liberation.
<BR>
<BR>book DJ's for their skills, not their gender. (although this party does
<BR>have
<BR>a phat line up, your idea is demeaning)
