I missed last week by a day -- oops. Here's one of my favorite links in my "Blog Me" folder by way of apology. It's part of Dove's Real Beauty Campaign. Imagine describing yourself to a sketch artist. How accurate do you think the picture would be? How much would it vary from a picture he would draw based on someone else's description? That's what Dove did.
I love the idea, and I know the message hits a lot of young women in a place they need some comfort. However, the rational, skeptical side of me wants to try it with men. Do men see themselves differently than other people do? We focus a lot of attention on women and body image. I would love to see some evidence that (if) the gender-bias reflects a reality.
