I'm not surprised, as I'm sure neither are most of you, but still, amazing!! I think it's awesome what Dove is doing, holding these workshops for young girls. Here is a description:

The Dove Self-Esteem Fund’s Real Beauty Workshops for Girls are fun, educational and interactive sessions for young girls aged 8-12 and their adult female mentors: mothers, relatives, friends – anyone interested in starting a dialogue on beauty and self-image with a member of the next generation. A $5 donation per person is required to attend the workshop.

Wow!! Maybe I'm just a cheeseball, but when the "no wonder our perception of beauty is distorted" flashed across the screen, I got chills!

That's great. And the workshops sound fantastic. I've been striving to use more Dove ever since they've started this whole real beauty campaign. I have so much respect for it!!

Yes Jen, I totally agree with you. I just could not believe WHAT they were altering, or photo-shopping. I didn't know they even elongated necks! Amazing!

Great film, it actually gave me goose-bumps watching it! I love Dove Products. They have this new line of soap called "Dove Calming Night," smells like soft lavendar. Perfect for a hard day at work.

I love this advertising campaign from Dove. They have had alot of ads on television and I saw the girls from the commercial on Ellen.
Its a great idea for many reasons.

For some reason I couldn't view that Felice~ I'm gonna try again. I've been using dove sensitive skin soap pretty much my whole life.........funny how I get so bored with stuff so fast and usually give away most of my things or throw them away..........but I don't think I'll ever stop using dove soap, I don't like their shampoo's or conditioners too much though..

Love it. I would so love to be a coordinator one one of these programs. Ive taken many womens studies classes and know all about the effects media has on young girls and their perception of beauty and body image. It can be damaging. Id be surprised to find a woman who in some regard has not been molded in one way or another by the way media portrays women.
