Please Pass This Along to Your Daughters

As a father of three daughters, I have always tried to encouraged them to have a healthy attitude regarding their own physical appearance. Of course, as their father, I think they are all beautiful. But, in reality, they are simply ordinary girls with their attractive points, like every other "normal" girl.

About 2 years ago I became aware of Dove Soap's "Campaign for Real Beauty." I realise it is sponsored by Dove, so of course they have a commercial interest in selling their soap products. However, I think that their message is very healthy.

Please view this 60 second video of how a model is transformed from her "coming to work" look to her "billboard" look, and if you think it is appropriate, share it with your daughters. The photoshopping is particularly telling.

There are other articles, videos, and "how to" lessons on their main page HERE.

I bring this to your attention because I happened to see this article in todays news, about an unbelievably stick-thin model in a Ralph Lauren advertisement. I hope that your daughters all understand that being this thin is incredibly unhealthy.

Here is the article about the Ralph Lauren models ---> LINK

Of course, please use your parental judgement in sharing any of this with your daughters.
