Lizzie: So, if you stretch that part a little bit, make my legs longer, you’ll get a real Barbie look. Dan: OK … like this? Hannah: Yes, this looks really cool now. Now do the opposite with the other copy, make the legs really short and fat. Dan: Hm, I’m not so sure, that might be more difficult. Let me see … Lizzie: ( laughs ) Oh no, that looks really gross now. Hannah: Oh dear, Lizzie, I hope you’re not too upset by this. Dan: We can always use your picture, Hannah, … Hannah: … or yours, that might be even better. Dan in a see-through T-shirt with a real sixpack. Dan: Oh, come on. Mark: Hey, what are you three doing? Lizzie: Hey yourself. Actually, we’re working on our social studies project. Mark: Oh, OK. Hannah: Here, just take a look at these pictures. Mark, would you recognise her? Mark: That’s Lizzie, isn’t it? Gorgeous? And who’s the other girl? Lizzie: ( laughs ) That’s also me! We’ve changed just about everything, hair colour, waist size, leg length, you name it, we’ve changed it. Mark: Wow, now that’s something. Why? Hannah: What why? Mark: Why did you change everything? Hannah: Well, we’re doing this project in social studies about ideas of beauty and how all these ads of wonderful people make you feel quite small if you’re not six feet tall and weigh just about one stone or whatever, so we’ve decided to show how you can turn a normal- looking person like Lizzie … Lizzie: Thank you, normal-looking person! Hannah: Oops, sorry, Lizzie, but that was the idea. Anyway, a pretty-looking person like Lizzie into a complete star or into a complete – erm, well, someone you don’t recognise. Dan: It’s a bit like that ad campaign by DOVE, you know, the one we watched in social studies, where they try to show that all the beautiful ladies we see in ads are not real. And there are lots of parodies of this campaign that you can watch on the net. There’s one where they turn a quite nice-looking boy into a slob by photoshopping his face. They stuff him with burgers and cigarettes and drinks and then they change his face to make him look really ugly, that’s funny. Hannah: That’s what you are going to look like, Dan, if you keep eating all those burgers. Dan: Oh, come off it! Mark: Actually, I mean, you girls must be really stressed by all this beauty in ads and on posters, and it’s all artificial anyway, like you make somebody’s neck longer – Lizzie: – guess what he did with my neck in that ‘gorgeous’ picture … Mark: Really? I – er – I didn’t actually notice it. Hannah: There you are … Many famous people took part in the challenge, such as Michelle Obama and Adele. Announcer: Three. Speaker: You have probably seen a colourful Rubik’s cube as they’ve been around since the 1970s. The Rubik’s cube was invented by a Hungarian professor of architecture and it was originally called the Magic Cube. It became the world’s best-selling toy with over 350 million cubes sold. The cube was so popular that a sport called ‘speed cubing’ was invented, where people raced against each other to solve the puzzle first. Coursebook, Unit 06, exercise 10b (BBC Ö 02) Interviewer: What sort of person would wear Levi’s? Vox pops: I think everyone wears Levi’s./Yeah, everyone. UK designer: I think Levi’s is absolutely a reflection of youth rebellion. Vox pops: You can’t see a construction person without a pair of Levi’s on. Interviewer: What sort of things pop into your mind when you think about Levi’s? Vox pops: Usually cowboys./It’s just spread through to every corner of the culture. V/O: Levi’s have been the world’s biggest-selling jeans brand for over a hundred years, but how did they get there? Levi Strauss was running a shop in San Francisco during the gold rush of the late 1800s when he had the idea of using some fabric he’d imported for making tents to make hard-wearing trousers for the miners. He’d brought it in from Nîmes in France. De Nîmes, Denim, get it? He put rivets in the pockets to stop them tearing and jeans were born. That was pretty much it for seventy years until, just after the Second World War, teenagers were invented. UK designer: The western world was coming out of this massive slump and all of a sudden there was this exciting new era of people that weren’t wearing suits. They were wearing workwear, dating girls and riding motorbikes and all of a sudden, denim was actually a really cool look. US designer: They were incorporating into their message the workwear of the common honest salt of the earth people. UK designer: It was really kind of ruffling feathers. It’s, you know, similar to me going round my granny’s house in paint-spattered overalls with kind of paint on my face, you know, all that kind of thing. It would be like I don’t care, I’m here. V/O: So now as well as meaning work, jeans and Levi’s with them meant rebellion. Once rock and roll came along in the 60s, jeans meant peace, skinheads and loads of things. You can tell a lot about somebody just from looking at their jeans. US designer: Throughout most of human history, people used their dress to signal their success in life. In the 20th and the 21st centuries, what people started craving and needing was to be able to assert their authenticity. In an ever-more marketed and advertised and fake world, what mattered was to say I’m real, and nothing says I’m real as much as the total history of jeans and denim.
