about-face.org encourages a more
positive, healthy portrayal of women in mass media. their Gallery
of Winners spotlights the kinds of images they'd like to see
more of in women's advertisements. (aside: though it's nice
that the waif ideal is a little less popular than it used to
be, it'll never go away. women's insecurities, especially those
related to body image, are too convenient a source of
motivated buying power. I'm certainly a motivated hair color consumer
after a breakup/argument/[insert trauma here].)
