You know she actually looked good to begin with. Sort of the every day kind of look.

You know, she did start off with some kick-ass bone structure. That certainly saved them some photoshopping.

And I'm with trauma queen, how will buying Dove products help your self esteem???

I always hope there are enough intelligent people out there to see through the bullshit.

I guess the point is to point out the unrealistic expectations of beauty that the cosmetics industry puts out so that people buy more of their stuff.

I think people ignore the fact that it is really the inner self that makes a difference in the way you look. Confidence & a little bit of attitude can do wonders.

Prasann: True - personality & grooming matter more than good looks. If you can't radiate it, no amount of plastic surgery can save you.

I'll go against TQ & Sara in this case and say the commercial rocked. And the Dove Safe Esteem fund is something I can get behind 100% - they've got a good message. Check their website. They've linked up with organizations that fight eating disorders.
