I just love women standing up for other women and girls!A recent article (full link below) on how glossy magazines are quickly poisoning our girls is just great. It discusses how images are faked to make girls believe these are true images of real women - and some of the ways in which mothers and other women are fighting back. Of course we gals love fashion, makeup and jewellery - adorning ourselves is one of the great privileges we have as women - but let's keep it real!
Women's Forum Australia are staging a 'Get Real' forum in Melbourne this coming weekend on 18th August with parodying titles such as 'Of Course You're Not Hot'; 'The Stick Insect Diet' and
'Hate Your Body - We show you how'. WM's - get on down there with your daughters and show them some real women - and better yet, don't buy those magazines and don't let your daughters buy them either. You KNOW they don't make you feel good about yourself....
