FW in the News--Fergie and Josh Duhamel

“It’s funny, because at work I have to be a very strong, tough woman. But when I’m with him, I just turn on this baby girl voice because… he’s my big tall man,” Fergie told the August 2009 issue of Marie Clare magazine. “I’ve been in a lot of relationships that were exciting but unhealthy, very Sid-and-Nancy-esque. I wanted somebody I could count on,” she said. “With all the craziness of this business, I know I can count on my man — and he knows he can count on me.
Not so much the Pamphlets of 1922, but Helen Andelin’s 1960s version of FW instructed women to adapt the mannerisms, voice, accessories like ribbons and lace, demeanor of a little girl to accentuate the contract between herself and her man’s masculinity. Submitting to your husband’s leadership and protection is perhaps the most difficult challenge for women of the twenty-first century. Yet, self-made millionaire and entertainer Fergie realizes that she must be sweet and dependent when she is with her husband. As a celebrity, Fergie has a platform—magazine articles and other interviews—where she can praise her husband. She is smart to praise her husband, Josh Duhamel, in articles. It gives him glowing publicity to live up to. It also is a manifestation that while she may be a successful woman, he is still the alpha male, her leader at home.
