“My feeling is that for years now it has taken a much too big part in how women are being visually defined today. Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century.”
— Fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh on the overuse of retouching in fashion photography, such that cover models begin to look like "objects from Mars." To see the amazing Dove Real Beauty ad that shows just how much Photoshop can transform someone, read more

News to Me: Dove Onslaught Campaign
Dove has been running many campaigns all over the world to help promote women's self-confidence. Everywhere you look, Dove billboards show women stripped down to their skivvies, proving that beauty comes in all sizes, shapes, colors, and ages.

Yesterday's New York Times Style Section dove into the lives of NYC's lifestyle gurus. According to the paper, trendsetting women in the city are finding enlightenment through veganism and meditation rather than a diet of cosmos and roof bar parties, and they're calling on "spiritual cowgirls" to show them the way.

Do, Dump or Marry? Michael Phelps
Olympic swimming champ Michael Phelps dove into some hot water when he was photographed taking a bong hit, but that has not kept the 14-Olympic gold medal winning Adonis from keeping some lucrative endorsement deals, including some new Subway sandwich ads opposite Jared, the usual spokesperson.
But enough about the nonessential. Is this buff swimmer (who sometimes looks — to me—either totally hot, kinda douchey, or a tad dorky) a do, dump or marry?
