Hyperfemininty is the overexaggeration of stereotypical female behaviors. Such examples include a female who has heels, a lot of make-up, loves to shop, and long hair. This is why the ad to the left with Paris Hilton is a perfect example of hyperfemininity. Paris Hilton is surrounded by pink stuff which is typically associated with "girly" stuff. Paris Hilton also has a lot of make-up on which also applies to the concept of hyperfemininty. This ad also helps give an example of hyperfemininity because for those who know about Paris Hilton would know that she is the stereotypical female that likes to shop and look pretty. Paris Hilton even went to the point to do a show about living in an average lifestyle. Even in the show she could not help but be "girly" in some situations.
In this other version of hyperfemininity we have, Madonna. Madonna is washing the dishes which is very stereotypical of a house mother to do; clean the house, take care of the kids, go out for groceries and etc. The ad of Madonna really shows a different side of hyperfemininity. It displays a more domestic side of hyperfemininty.
