Former Page 3 star Rhian stuns in bunny ears for her saucy new calendar
Source: The Sun
Warning: Slightly NSFW article, so I'm purposefully not going to include any images.
The reason I picked this article is because it's from the Sun, who were previously famous for their page 3, in which models often posed nude. It was recently abolished and it was considered a huge step in the right direction feminine equality in terms of media representation, since the infamous page had been such an undisputed thing for so long. However, I believe this is the Sun's way of still getting in their fair share of 'page 3'. By putting this story on the front page, open to anyone, they're still pushing their old agenda, but spinning it in a way that's tongue-in-cheek about it's intentions. It's just ensuring they have deniability, while still doing the same thing. This is obviously a representation of gender, and can easily be compared to many other news stories recently about Hollywood's sudden intervention about perverted white, middle-aged men. Perhaps The Sun believes that it can sneak this in among the chaos.
