Thank you for seeking my advice in regards to offering Taylor Swift a 1-year contract to be the spokesperson for Starbucks. I think this is an exceptional idea considering Taylor Swift has always displayed herself in a respectful manner in the media.

It garnered 6,700 views before it was removed from the web. The clip showed that Swift was holding something near her nose while she was at the backstage of the MTV Video Music Awards. After the video garnered its momentum, many viewers presumed that the 'Shake It Off' singer is possibly using drugs.

Taylor Swift’s “Mean” To me, Taylor Swift is a very rare celebrity. Not only does she write her own music, but she also performs it for her fans. However, to be this kind of celebrity, you must have some pretty good inspiration. For Taylor, her musical influences come from people she has in her everyday life. Whether it’s a boyfriend, family member, an enemy, or even just a friend, all of her artistic choices come from those things. Her music mainly has to deal with situations she’s going through
In Kate Bolick’s article “All the Single Ladies” she writes about how women are beginning to climb higher as the men are falling behind.

Bolick starts off her article talking about a past relationship she had in her late 20’s that didn’t
depicted as the ingénue character of this novel. This is of course a satire of the ideal Victorian man. The classic Victorian man was socially confident, had a personal presence, and was almost certainly the dominating voice in a conversation with a lady. However, Oscar Wilde creates Jack as the ingénue by letting him be easily dominated, by putting him in the shoes of the innocent, unsophisticated and naïve when talking to the knowledgeable, sophisticated and worldly Gwendolen, and by being slow witted
decided to follow Louis and brought three hundred of the closest ladies with her. They were even fashionably dressed in battle attire, but none of them actually fought. The Church frowned upon her idea of joining the Crusade and at a time when no women if any status would challenge the Church or would even think about joining a battle on any kind, Eleanor showed the world how powerful and rich she was by bringing not only a few on her ladies with her but three hundred of them, and neither her husband

the behavior of office ladies. She starts out by saying that women are the ones that are working under the men and that they have to be subordinate. She also talks about how men have more power and room to grow in their careers while the office ladies are stuck in their positions as they are and aren’t expected to try hard and do well since there is no room to be promoted. It seems as if the article is going in the direction of talking about the hardships of office ladies at this point. However,

With their similarities in singing talent, appearance, and love life, the comparison is remarkable. One way the Squire and Enrique Iglesias both try to get the ladies is by singing and using their dance moves. The Squire is described as "singing.in hope to win the ladies grace." (Chaucer 107), It seems, as all he does is spend

to a hard and unsuccessful life. Updike uses the characterization of Sammy to illustrate that animalistic sexual appetite objectifies women. Sammy describes Queenie in a sexual manner when he described (try to avoid using the same word twice in a single sentence; try a synonym--to find synonyms there's a cool thesaurus webcite by Merrium Webster at www.m-w.com; also note that you have shifted from present to past tense here; when writing on art you normally stay in the present tense throughout) Queenie's
In Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and in Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid, two ladies are presented, that are not necessarily the leading protagonist, but they help unravel the plays’ plots into something amazing.
