The Woman on Page 194

Magazines are often criticized for their unrealistic standards of beauty (who invented airbrushing, anyway? Can we outlaw it?) Check out this blog from Glamour magazine's editor - it seems that there was a tiny picture of a beautiful, sexy, and realistic woman that appeared on page 194, and the emails from appreciative women everywhere started flooding the editor's inbox.

These are the images and inspiration our daughters deserve - fit women can and do have curves, sexy is an attitude, and life is worth enjoying. Good for you, Glamour!

Friends Don't Let Friends Fat Talk

I've stumbled across this powerful video, which was produced as part of a "Fat Talk Free" Week that actually happened last fall - the idea was promoted by Delta Delta Delta in coordination with Seventeen magazine and some other interest groups to promote body image in women - check out the video by clicking here.

After the video, sign up to receive email blasts on the issue of ending fat talk - and, just for today, don't let the "f" word cross your pretty lips!
