So here we have a project that, at its core, seems to be trying to make all women see themselves as beatiful. Doesn't that just reinforce that the most important thing a woman should be is beautiful? Is that really a good thing?

No, sorry you missed the point. You missed it completely. Beauty is not outward, it is inward as well. It is the beauty of our souls and our hearts. It is how we perceive ourselves in a society that wants us thin, sexy and objects. You misread, we need the laughter and light in our hearts, that is the beauty. The beauty in our very souls is what radiates. To you, we may be common. Us, we are so very beautiful, loving and kind. We are awesome. No one will tell me any different.

"We are aweseome" - I agree, but it's kind of a shame that "awesome" isn't enough. thesquanderer Apr 2015 #12

"Beauty" comes in a panopoly of forms Scootaloo Apr 2015 #9

I see your point: perhaps they could have added a third door labelled "human" zazen Apr 2015 #10

That's a good point, that the goal is to redefine what constitutes "beauty" thesquanderer Apr 2015 #11
