Campaign for Real Beauty

Modern advertising is coloring our sense of beauty: it's a tall, emaciated model with doe eyes and long straight hair, right? That's the message young girls are getting, and it's not just wrong, it's destructive. Sponsored by Dove soap (the beauty bar, don'tcha know!), the Campaign has a healthier message: beauty comes from within, and girls need to learn that they don't have to live up to an impossible ideal -- which frankly ain't all that ideal anyway. If this site has a weakness, it's that it needs to address boys, too. One step at a time, I guess.
