when dove’s real beauty campaign first came out, everyone was beside themselves kissing dove’s ass and talking about how great it was for female body image.
ever the pessimist, i’ve always thought the dove campaign was completely full of shit. it’s a marketing ploy to get people to visit the dove website, and the “real beauty” they feature in ads and on their website is same ol,’ same ol. “i have freckles, and i still think i’m beautiful.” meanwhile, i’m thinking: you’re a ten year old red-headed white kid. hello, lindsey lohan circa the parent trap? of course people think you’re cute and beautiful.
