Campaign for Real Beauty

My friend Jael told me about a short film called "Evolution" on the Dove website that shows how a normal looking woman can go from looking simply average to having her face on a billboard through the magic of hair and make-up artists and computer brushing up. The short clip is worth sharing with the young women--actually, with any man or woman--in your life. Even once we know about the way images are manipulated before we see them in post-production, with the ever-present stream of unattainable figures presented to us, it can be easy to forget that our standards of beauty have become seriously skewed.
