Many of you might be familiar with Dove’s Campaign For Real Beauty. It’s a favorite of ours here at Eat A Cheeseburger. This is a powerful reminder of the power that make-up, hair products and photoshop have on media images we see everyday. For those of you who aren’t familiar [...]

The infamous and coveted sizes 00-4. Oh how those numbers (btw, 0 is NOT a number) have taken on way more meaning than they ever should have.

Crazy Ads: Get skinny effortlessly with “The Skinny Patch”
Posted in Body Image, Culture, Health, tagged Crazy Ads on April 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
THE PINK PATCH AD. Excuse me, but I’m a little speechless and frankly mystified. To me, this is just the epitome of the cultural crisis we are facing right now. It’s amazing to think that just 50 short years ago ads were encouraging women to add five or ten more pounds to their bodies (See [...]
