"No wonder our perception of beauty is distorded..."
Is this one again from the Dove-soapy-stuff? In Holland, Dove brings out ordinary girls (not skinny etc.) for their commercials. I love them, because that's just how we all are. This video proofs it.
Dove ran some great ads during last year's Superbowl along these lines. Very "against the grain" for typical superbowl ads, but very refreshing in their message - pointing out the distortion of body images and values that drives a lot of pathology in our society.
this was a great video! I think the beauty workshops look like a great idea as well. It's for girls age 8-12 and their mentors but I think something like this should start even younger! I wish they had 'self-esteem' workshop/classes for kids (boys and girls) when they're younger...I think it could do wonders.
It is strange isn't it? How we view beauty when we were young and how it changes as we grow older and see things differently.

Thanks Terje!
When I was in Japan this past Spring they also had billboards with ordinary women. The ads in the U.S. were very popular too.
And what they're not saying is that they offered that woman a free makeover in exchange for taking some shots of her. They made hundreds of thousands of dollars from the advertising campaign that she was the model for and she didn't get a penny of it.
