Question 7- Re/appropriation

The video appropriates sexual signifiers from pornographic films. The video quality has that orange hue and the clothing suggests pornography of the 1970s. A common element in pornographic films has a manly man of some labor intensive profession arriving in the home to do something, and spontaneously engages in sexual activity with the female homeowner. The setup appears in the beginning but the video obviously twists that theme around.

The woman in the film re appropriates the ideas of what it means to be sexually attractive to men. It is assumed in this video that you have to have massive breasts to capture a mans attention. Most people in the beginning of the video would notice her breasts, but the important thing is how she embodies the issue many woman think about. The ending is interesting because all the signifiers implicate the woman desires sexual activity, but in reality she still just wants her appliance fixed. She re appropriates signifiers of sexuality from everyday life regarding how women want to represent themselves.
