I really wanted to share this website on my blog. I found it while doing research for some activities that we can do with the girls. I really think it's important to remember who our audience is. This is about the girls, and we really need to focus on making this about them and not get lost in our "own" needs. Anyways, that was a little bit of a rant.

Every day, in so many ways, the beauty industry (and the media in general) tell women and girls that being admired, envied and desired based on their looks is a primary function of true womanhood. The beauty template women are expected to follow is extremely narrow, unrealistic and frequently hazardous to their health. The Love Your Body campaign challenges the message that a woman's value is best measured through her willingness and ability to embody current beauty standards. (taken from the above website)
This is a great campaign that is for EVERYONE!! I very much like their poster contest and feel that it would be a great project to share with the girls.
