Accepting our beautiful daughters precisely as they are

Accepting our beautiful daughters precisely as they are is the first step in allowing them to accept and love themselves.

If you know any thing about me, it's that I am pretty skeptical about advertising claims. I am pretty turned off by corporate America (especially under the BushCo regime) and I am offended by how women are portrayed in media and film.

With that said, I've been consistently impressed by Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty. I believe it was a risky move, and I appreciate bravery. The films and commercials have been real eye openers, because women and men alike are negatively impacted by media's never ending lie about the real beauty of women.

In honor of Dove, I am posting two of my favorite impact pieces, please view them. Also, support Dove and their products. Let's show them how much we support reality in media (god knows it been missing too long...)

Michael Moore and Bill Moyers: Please Make A Documentary Targeting Mainstream Media

It would be my dream to one day see a film collaboration between Michael Moore and Bill Moyers documenting how mainstream media utterly failed to provide impartial and credible reporting during the Bush Administration and the harm it has caused to Americans and around the world.

I maintain my belief that had America had a functioning and free media Bu$hCo and the neocons would NEVER have taken over. It's media's profit motive and media consolidation at work in betraying us all.

Michael: You could change the world and protect its citizens forever more if one of your documentaries resulted in transforming mainstream media in the United States.
