Story / Additional InfoThe woman depicted in Coca Cola Girl holds a direct stare at the viewer. The subject’s stare gives her great autonomy within the scene. It is important to note that the subject, while holding the viewer’s attention, is a laboring body. Hyper-sexualization and the maintenance of beauty standards is a demanding and constant form of women’s labor. The subject in this has clearly put labor into her appearance: Her hair is neatly fashioned, she is wearing a good deal of make-up, and she is physically fit. In addition to the labor of maintaining beauty standards, the subject is also putting in the labor of performance. This is true both of the traditional performance of modeling and of the labor of constant male gaze. This along with directly addressing the viewer allows us to see the hidden labor of the subject in this historically questionable piece.
