I'm so glad you like the site! :) I can totally see how this video would be more surprising to men than to women. As women, we know what goes on behind the scenes when we get glam. Men, they think we either look like that all the time or wave some magic wand. They think the models actually look the way they are shown in ads and they hold "normal" women to the same standard as the photoshopped model. Glad to hear your brother is no longer part of that misconception! Thanks for your comment! :) Oh yay! I’m so glad you like the site! :)

Also, when the Dove video went viral a few years ago, the most interesting thing was that my younger brother (mid-20s) mentioned it to me and said "I'm never going to look at a model or celeb pic in the same way again. The women in the pics don't exist." I was surpised that the impact the video made on men could be just as big as the impact it made on women. Hi – First wanted to say that I love Couture Cult!

I recently read a study which stated that teenagers who read fashion magazines are around 70% more likely to become/already suffer from bulemia and/or anorexia. I completely agree with you; if only companies would redirect their focus towards the consumer and not what they believe the consumer should be, we'd all be better off. "Zero is not a size."

Schoolkids are the ones who need this type of information the most, as they are still developing their sense of self and basing what they feel on what they are seeing currently.
