Body Shop Campaign



Women are always expected to be flawless Goddesses, and you know what, we ARE Goddesses. Flawless is a notion that we go out of our way to focus on, when actually, it’s elusive. It is something that none of us will ever be, because that way, we’d all be like Barbie: plastic, identical, breakable and we’d topple over. I think we should change our perspectives and see the “flawless” notion as the enemy, because that’s one thing we should strive NOT to be. Who wants to be an air-head who looks like every other air-head around them? We are beautiful in and out and nobody can tell us otherwise. We are Goddesses in our own skins. 


The controversy behind this campaign is something that I cannot even begin to comprehend? So, it's okay for Playboy magazine to publish photoshopped nude pictures of "perfect" women and it's okay for every little girl to have a disproportionate and sexually manipulated Barbie, but it's not okay to show the world what the perception of a real woman should be?
