Beautiful

I saw an incredible!!! documentary last night... America the Beautiful by Daryl Roberts. The film makes the connection between media/fashion/movies/celebrities and women's self image (or lack thereof). It had both laugh-out-loud and tearful moments. I'm not sure I know a single woman out there who hasn't struggled with some sort of body image issue and the film illustrates how we are trained to think that if we aren't a tall stick-think blond chic, we aren't beautiful. But in fact - each and every woman is beautiful... whether its her smile, her eyes, her soul, personality or long legs... there is something that makes us unique and beautiful.

I hope everyone - women AND men see it (there are some veeery funny dude moments too!!) and of course, we need to teach our men to stop thinking that a chic must be a model to be beautiful. Fact is, the average woman in this country is 5'4 and 140 pounds.... a far stretch from the average model of 5'11 and 115 smackers...

So to help you right along.... the movie is playing at:

Los Angeles, CA -
Mann Beverly Center 138522 Beverly Boulevard, Suite 835Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 652-7760

Otherwise... for the rest of you out there not smack in the center of the universe (HA!) check out the movie - it should be opening soon!
