Landscape poster, which is one of a series of nine in the Some Girls Poster Project. The poster has a dark blue background, and features black and white photographs of women in the bottom two corners, who look out at the viewer. Across the top and centre of the poster is the question 'what you staring at' in large, bold, red font. Alongside the photographs of the women are quotations, saying 'It makes me sick... when girls think they've got to look their best, just for the boys' and 'I don't see why girls should be made to be something they're not, just for the boys,' respectively, both in yellow font.
