Why or why do magazines / ads do this? Another triumph for Dove and its real women. Hadn’t seen it. Why or why do magazines / ads do this? Another triumph for Dove and its real women.

I seem to forget that, too, skipping through magazines and feeling somewhat inadequate. @TheMadHouse: I think it is great that they have really stuck to their guns. @Alison: I'd be for banning airbrushing altogether. We have become so used to see perfect images, it's rather scary. @Iota: You are right, these spots are very well executed. Maybe that's why the campaign works so well, too. @Rosie: That reminded me of the perfectly beautiful and thin model that got airbrushed by some weirdo at Ralph Lauren – she ended up looking like those lollipop girls, a complete freak.

She was just a normal, pleasant looking girl to begin with. Isn't it sad that young girls have such a distorted view of their image. Hopefully they'll see this. God it really shows just what they do.
