1. Redablo,Christian. “What Happens If I Use Steriods But Don’t Exercise?”. Maxim Magazine(Special Issue Young Hollywood)(January 2009) page 23.Print

In the article Christian Rebaldo asks Maxim Magazine what the side effects of taking steroids are if he does not work out. The answer that was given to him were the following:horrific acne, liver damage, teensy testicles, and “roid rage” and it is highly recommended throughout the article for him not to take steroids.
As being a part of Maxim magazine this article is a relevant source for this project. It shows my thesis on how Maxim magazine supports traditional masculinity. One reason for it being relevant is because the article shows the reasons for Christian to not only be steroid free but encourages him if he wants to have a nice body that he should work out and get it the old fashion way.

2. Satoshi. “The Drinking Man’s Guide To Beer: The 99 Best Bottles(and Cans on Earth). Maxim Magazine(Special Issue Young Hollywood)(January 2009)pages 58-62. Print/Photography

In the article Satoshi uses a lot of photography along with informative details of drinks to shows what the best 99 drinks that men should drink. The article goes through all 99 drinks and also uses opinions from other people.
The article fully supports my thesis because of the title alone. It states the drinks that traditional men should drink. For example none of the beverages have weird exotice names like margarita or mimosa.

3. Nuget, Ted. ”Kill Your Way To Happiness”. Maxim Magazine(Special Issue Young Hollywood)(January 2009) page 67.Print

In this article Nuget talks about a hunting experience that he had and how being a former U.S. Marine helped him hunt and cope with weather conditions. He goes on to explaining how hunting for his own food makes him feel good and being a former marine helps him out while being in nature.
The article goes well with my thesis on traditional masculinity because it shows how a man goes hunting for his own food and provides for his family. Traditional masculinity shows how men are hard workers and how they are seen as the provider of the family.

4. Holiday Entertaining Guru. “You’ve Been Served”. Maxim Magazine.141. (December 2009).Website(http://www.maxim.com/stuff/hhe/85461/youve-been-served.html)

In this article it shows how drinking from a keg is manlier because men enjoy drinking. This goes along with my thesis because its giving off this traditional masculinity stereo type that men love to drink.

  1. Overall, this is a good annotated bibliography and your sources sound interesting. But add your preliminary thesis in the beginning of this post. Also, review the MLA documentation, as your entries need some minor corrections. Last but not least, work on your assessments and develop your reflections. This will help you in writing your first draft.
