DIY and female bodies from different angles

Considering the original characteristics of DIY culture: from amateur home improvement over subculture towards political resistance and community activities, I wonder how we identify Tupperware home parties, that are organized as social gatherings most often by housewives 40 plus. Meeting like-minded women, eating and talking together, exchanging information about everyday life and lifestyle on the one hand; an event driven by corporate-commercial interest to sell particular goods via a sales agent who, in succeeding (selling $250 plus), gains a certain percentage (10% plus) off the regular Tupperware price to, in turn, acquire these products
herself on the other hand: “Spend time with friends and family. Share and exchange smart tips for healthy cooking, organizing your home and saving money.”
One can also host online parties now.


Breaking “into a strange boys-only subculture”: woman! stop shaving, waxing, threading, plucking, laser treatments – here come the new beards for you too.
Combining commercial, artistic, nerdy and feminist ambitions, she can have her beard from $10 dollars upwards (up to $75).




We see a hand drawing female breasts in different shapes, perspectives and postures on youtube, while we listen to the instructor's male voice. Interestingly he addresses the viewer to leave comments about what they want him to draw next.
As it turns out the calm voice has a website too where he provides free video lessons of how to digitally paint a woman (in photoshop). The self-described "artist" charges for in-person-lessons though.


DIY-baby: women and couples who wish to receive sperm donation can gather information about self-insemination and other pregnancy related topics and products. The sperm is free, but one has to subscribe to the website and repay for the membership every 30days of continuing usage.
