Distorted Perception of Beauty

meghan171

Many of you may have seen this Dove commercial, but if not, I suggest you take a minute & a half to watch it. It will make you realize how 'models' are no better looking than any of us. I think some people strive too hard to be what they think is 'perfect'. Magazines can really mess with our heads; they're giving girls all the wrong ideas about what being 'beautiful' really is.

I'm so quick to jump and say that my beauty standards are my own. But, they're not.

I love when I see "plus size" models or "real women" in ads and campaigns.

Thanks for sharing. I kind of figured that they were just like us but had to sure. lol. It's amazing how far companies will go to "sell" the product.

Thanks for the reminder that what we see in magazines is a bunch of fantasy women who don't really exist!

Seen that one, thanks for reminding me of it. This is another great one (not an ad, but discusses advertising and how women are portrayed.)
