As this couple transitions from room to room they give each other a look and begin to dance, but in this particular transition the female character (P!nk) is coming into the master room with a basket full of laundry ready to be put away. As a surprise she opens up the closet and finds Channing dressed up in what is considered a feminine style. He has a dress on with a little hat, earnings, gloves, and makeup. Instead of being shocked P!nk was very supportive and helped him come out of the closet (lol a very clever pun she did there) and puts pink lipstick on him as they both enjoy looking at Channing in the mirror. This scene is making gender a performance because they are both enjoying themselves and in reality Channing is a straight male, but gives no F*** about dressing up.

This is unnecessary, as when Karen is on the bed earlier in the scene, the audience can already tell she is nude. Later, when she is awaiting the arrival of Frank to the room, the camera slowly moves closer to her to command full attention of the audience, before revealing her breasts as she sits and smokes in the bath. As said by Laura Mulvey, “What counts is what the heroine provokes, or rather what she represents”.

Beyoncé constantly does this, in her song “Video Phone” there are always numerous men around her however the difference from most other videos is that the men are all in suits and Beyoncé is the one sexualizing herself. From what she is wearing to the lyrics of her video. Also throughout the video most of the men’s faces are covered somehow implying that it doesn’t matter who they are. There are also numerous other women in the video who are in some cases wearing scandalous clothing, dancing provocatively and singing explicit lyrics, but the big difference is that they are not being sexualized by the other gender and they are not using the other gender to make themselves look a certain way.

She demonstrates the “traditional exhibitionist role women are simultaneously looked at and displayed, with their appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact” (Mulvey 19). Her appearance, body language and costume suggest an internalized male gaze or idealized male spectator, displaying herself as an innocent and sexy girl rather than a mature woman. She is no longer an authentic individual, but an object for male visual pleasure. The model’s slightly disheveled and messy hairstyle conveys a sense of wildness and recklessness, together with the body-exposing bra, creating a sensual pleasure for male spectators and implying that she is sexually available. She is puckering her red lips, which can be seen as a way to flirt or seduce male spectators by self-infantilizing, acting like a surprising and innocent girl.
