I noticed a Dove ad in this month's More magazine that featured women of different sizes and types in their underwear. I thought, "Huh. Interesting. Wonder where else this natural-woman thing will run/air?" Well, it seems more and more companies are ditching the anorexic-waif model for women of substance - real women, with real bodies. According to this article, Madison Avenue is - for the moment - enamored with us. And Baby Boom women aren't the only ones driving this. According to the article, younger women are sick of the unrealistic icons, as well.I think Jamie Lee Curtis might've started the trend when she came out a couple of years ago in More au natural (shown here). Now, doesn't this look more like us?
Wish the moisturizer/hair color folks would get the message. Isn't it a riot how all those 24-year-olds on television have to smooth out their wrinkles and cover their grey?
