The Dove Campaign

Aug 10, 2005 13:40

So apparently there is a new controversy over this new Dove Ad Campaign where they use, get this, NORMAL SIZED WOMEN instead of models to sell cellulite cream. Sounds like a good plan, right? I mean, why would you use a size 2 model to sell cellulite firming cream ( Read more... )

"I'm so f---in' beautiful...esp. when I take my clothes off!"

Bah to those who were against the ad!!!

I am content to be whatever size I am, as long as I am happy and healthy!

I just read this article in Slate Magazine about the same campaign. I had no idea that women over 120 lbs. in their underwear were so controversial.

I thought those women were hot. I was glad to see that billboard on my way to work. It was up less than a week. I was hoping it would start a trend and get all those stick figures off of magazines everywhere. Make them eat a sammich before they can get another job. Keep women from thinking just because they can finish a whole hamburger they need to go on a diet. I dont wanna fell no ribs grating against me when I give a woman a hug. BRING BACK THE DOVE ADS!

i added you!

As for the Dove ad, I don't like it. And the reason is, those women ARE hot. But I'm skrawny and skinny and I have a feeling that's on it's way out, and being bigger is on it's way in. Like back in the 20s when bigger girls were hot and skinny girls were just silly looking. I most definately do NOT diet or starve myself. I'm a complete pig. But I have a feeling the next couple of years, skinny girls will be out, and bigger girls will be in, and...well... that just sucks for me. heh.

Yay for being added! mica_rene August 11 2005, 15:13:58 UTC

Thanks for adding me.

You are not scrawny. You are thin, but but you are GORGEOUS, and hot, and I wouldn't worry about skinny being out.

I think it is important for women of every body type to feel good about how they look. That's hard for me, because I'm gaining weight. And it just made me so damn mad that the signs were called an eyesore and that stupid guys think bigger means "average."

And it was very nice to meet you, by the way.
