Where did the ancient Egyptians get their ideas to line kohl around their eyes? Does she explain that? I think we just inherintely crave beauty.<br /><br />And as a side note, I find many of women's magazines a little artificially interested these days in "championing the causes" of the every woman. Sure, health comes in all shapes and sizes, but I don't necessarily want to look at a size 18. There's nothing aspirational about that.GingerLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429166306512785212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377847798438896761.post-11878513344984139052011-04-26T19:27:32.487-04:002011-04-26T19:27:32.487-04:00I'm definitely adding this book to my list as ...I'm definitely adding this book to my list as well.

I'm ...This sounds like a very interesting book. I'm going to need to add it to my reading list. Based on the summary you give, I have to agree somewhat with her assessment of women's magazines and their perpetuation of unrealistic standards. I think it's important that women have access to all sorts of opinions and role models, which is why i really like the style blogging community as a compliment to fashion magazines. The blog community is filled to the brim with intelligent, beautiful women of all shapes who all have different opinions on beauty and style. Almost makes it sound like fashion blogs should be required reading when you put it this way!!Becca [Free Honey]https://www.blogger.com/profile/05702757062423348331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377847798438896761.post-20124398192363014592011-04-26T10:41:44.471-04:002011-04-26T10:41:44.471-04:00wow her persepctive seems really influential!

I still read magazines, because I cannot escape how important and influential fashion is to my life. But I look more closely to the models and how they're portrayed. It's a long, crazy journey for women. But I'm glad there are smart women like you who are bringing this issue up :)Alex Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035001258841623801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377847798438896761.post-39291255517667161352011-04-26T09:57:14.349-04:002011-04-26T09:57:14.349-04:00this definitely rings true and i'm happy that ...this definitely rings true and i'm happy that you've created a platform for addressing these issues.

I look forward to seeing your blog evolved into a platform for you to inspire other women to feel empowered and most importantly, beautiful, on the inside and out! More power to you! xo SamanthaSamantha Savage Breithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402074275919562493noreply@blogger.com
