Maybe Jamie Lee started something . . .

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?
