Hollywood Barbie
I think now more than ever many girls of all ages are under the pressures of Hollywood and the strive to be thin... almost to the point of malnourishment. I take pride in the fact that there are still women in Hollywood that don't conform to the "should be's" of that lifestyle. Two women I view as great role models are Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles. Both of them aren't afraid to have curvy bodies instead of becoming scarily skinny and thin. I believe America's view on what true beauty is is so overly distorted. A friend of mine showed me this video. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U. It's a video made by Dove showing how much models appearances are tampered with in order to make a "suitable" billboard advertisement. No wonder so many girls are being affected by trying to be this "beautiful" that hollywood defines itself as. But the thing is, this "beauty" doesn't exist.

I have seen that video and all of the Dove ads, I cannot agree with you more. I love how Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez are and that theyre are not like most of Hollywood in the extreme thin aspect.
I've seen the dove video too and I think that every girl/woman in America should see it. I have to admit I was one of those girls who wanted to be thin and got to an unhealthy weight, but I'm still learning that thin is not the next best thing! I hope that others can realize that too! There are way too many health problems associated with being too thin. To go along with that there are too many beautiful women in the world to let their bodies go to waste because of hollywood images!
