Hands over a womans boobs?
Hands over a womans boobs?
I love the image of the girls in the field! its really provocative and the kinda thing you might try and hide if your reading it on the train! I even like how she is relaxed and even looking into the distance, not scared!!
And the Beth Ditto image where she is just in some grubby field but because gay women love her.......she is cool whatever!
Crit Feedback
From the crit i got the feeling I was on the right track.....
the magazine is going to be a young queer magazine
challenging gender roles, sexuality and going to be quite satarical and funny rather than all political and serious."gay pride" sorta thing....its not the sorta magazine where pople write in about what they found offensive that week.....more about celebrating people in the community and events and inspirations etc.

HAhaHAha!!
Genuine laughter is easy to spot.....the eyes are the key! When someones eyes are smiling you can see if its real. Also if someone smiles and it fades very quickly this may just be a polite smile or a schnidey smirk.....a real smile stays on your face for longer :)
IF YOU NOTICE!! the eyes of all these people are squashed up and small becasue they are being forced into tat position by the cheeks.
Definitions of laughter
"rhythmic, vocalized, expiratory and involuntary actions"
What Is Laughter?
First of all, laughter is not the same as humor. Laughter is the physiological response to humor. Laughter consists of two parts -- a set of gestures and the production of a sound. When we laugh, the brain pressures us to conduct both those activities simultaneously. When we laugh heartily, changes occur in many parts of the body, even the arm, leg and trunk muscles.
Under certain conditions, our bodies perform what the Encyclopedia Britannica describes as "rhythmic, vocalized, expiratory and involuntary actions" -- better known as laughter. Fifteen facial muscles contract and stimulation of the zygomatic major muscle (the main lifting mechanism of your upper lip) occurs. Meanwhile, the respiratory system is upset by the epiglottis half-closing the larynx, so that air intake occurs irregularly, making you gasp. In extreme circumstances, the tear ducts are activated, so that while the mouth is opening and closing and the struggle for oxygen intake continues, the face becomes moist and often red (or purple). The noises that usually accompany this bizarre behavior range from sedate giggles to boisterous guffaws.

Behavioral neurobiologist and pioneering laughter researcher Robert Provine jokes that he has encountered one major problem in his study of laughter. The problem is that laughter disappears just when he is ready to observe it -- especially in the laboratory. One of his studies looked at the sonic structure of laughter. He discovered that all human laughter consists of variations on a basic form that consists of short, vowel-like notes repeated every 210 milliseconds. Laughter can be of the "ha-ha-ha" variety or the "ho-ho-ho" type but not a mixture of both, he says. Provine also suggests that humans have a "detector" that responds to laughter by triggering other neural circuits in the brain, which, in turn, generates more laughter. This explains why laughter is contagious.
Humor researcher Peter Derks describes laughter response as "a really quick, automatic type of behavior." "In fact, how quickly our brain recognizes the incongruity that lies at the heart of most humor and attaches an abstract meaning to it determines whether we laugh," he says.
