campaign for real beauty

I love the new Dove commercials & ads. The ones with normal women with zits and rolls. Still probably only size 14 & 16's, but more closely resembling the women you see in passing these days. And ironically, I stubmled onto the Dove website the other day and watched the most compelling short film... http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com I guarentee it will change the way you look at every billboard and magazine cover from now on. Watch it. Send it to friends.

If you've got young girls in your family or circle of influence... remind them today what real beauty is all about. I know beyond a shadow of doubt that the body images I battle today started when I was 14 or 15, because of myperception of what was beautiful and what I should be ashamed of.

As smart women in the year 2006, shame on us if we don't interrupt the damage that we see girls doing to their self-esteem.
