The Illusion of Commercial Beauty

I wasn't going to post anything this weekend, but a friend posted a link to an incredible video in her Facebook page, and I felt I HAD to share. In this country, where Photoshop-perfected beauties are plastered on the cover of most magazines, we've come to accept a lie. Have you seen the Dove Evolution Video?



This is an amazing video which showcases the blur between reality and fiction in media.

Please, please watch this video. Watch it with your children, GIRLS AND BOYS, and discuss true beauty.

"Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:4

  1. I saw this video several months ago, and I could still watch it again and again. I showed it to our Youth Group leaders, and they thought it would be great to show the youth group (which consists of mostly girls). Thank you for sharing this on your blog, because I think it's so important. It seems to me that I found one that you could embed. I'll send it to you if I find it.
