How can you not see this woman’s beauty?
I was doing some surfing just now and came across a journal entry at Chris…of Course!. Titled “Pop!“, it detailed the author’s disappointment that a recent Dove campaign called “Campaign for Real Beauty” (mentioned here) was going over poorly among some co-workers.
“Oh my GOD!,” he said. “What is this? Oh, I don’t want to see this.”
The consultant who sits in the office across the hall heard him and explained that it was part of a new Dove campaign for real beauty.
“I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder,” he said, ” And I don’t want to be the one beholding! These make me want to go buy [our competitor’s] products.”

It’s easy to see how one could be upset that such a positive campaign would reveal superficial feelings in someone once respected. As the campaign website states:
“For too long, beauty has been defined by narrow, stifling stereotypes. You’ve told us it’s time to change all that. We agree. Because we believe real beauty comes in many shapes, sizes and ages.”

well, i love it. i hadn’t heard of/seen it until i saw this. i think she is absolutely beautiful and her freckles or “spots” make her even more unique. <3<3 yay for dove's new campaign.
just checked out the site, too. jeez, that rocks.
That woman really is quite beautiful, as are the other women featured in the campaign.
I used to love the emails I’d get about the campaign. They’re pictures were just great. And the ads that used to be on the sides of buses were awesome also.
I didn’t know the campaign was that long running. I thought it was rather new. It’s a great campaign with some truly beautiful people involved.
I think she’s very pretty as well. Some people are just too narrow-minded. Too many, sadly enough.
Indeed. It’s a shame people deprive themselves of beauty because it doesn’t fit their conditioning.
She is beautiful!
Absolutely.
Yay for freckles! =D
Yay indeed!
