Watch and learn

Even I'm surprised by some of what I saw in another of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty videos. . . .




**Thanks, Erik, for sending it my way.

This just shows how absolutely ridiculous our standards for beauty are. I agree with the person who posted the video, it should be required viewing for all teens and young adults!

Wow. I have never seen the REAL before and after of an airbrush... they show a lot of the "before" faces of celebrities, with out any makeup (supposedly)- but never the neck stretching, face cutting and lifting. The pictures of the models with heads larger than pelvises are floating around, but that is amazing, and creepy. A woman (girl, teen) really doesn't even have a chance these days?!

Well said. We don't even have a chance to feel good about ourselves, because we're continually confronted with distorted idealized images like these.
