“Scalpels, Straighteners, & Skin Bleachers” will take place during this coming “Love Your Body Week”, in an effort to promote a positive attitude towards body image and to elaborate on individual beauty. This event will feature a gallery of different images depicting the extreme measures Asian and Asian American women takes to obtain the “ideal” essence of beauty.
“Bobby Pins Up Your Nose” is a short theatrical performance featuring two women, Christina Chan and Judy Tso. It is a humorous rendition of the real life stories of Asian American women who try to manipulate their bodies to fit western culture’s idea of beauty. Wrestling with nose shape, breast size and their short stature, performers Chan and Tso take you on their adventures with body image in this funny and poignant performance piece. Their performance two years ago was well received, and BC SEASA would like to have them perform once more for a new student body.
