Awhile back I was watching the Tyra Banks show. I think she is doing more than any one else (including Oprah and the Dove commercials) to help girls and women deal with their weight and self-esteem.
Tyra was photographed in a very unflatteringly angle saying she gained 40 pounds. On her show she had on the same bathing suit as in the picture, admitted to gaining weight and loving it and thinking she is still hot. She showed pictures of her at a photo shoot and how at one angle "rolls" could be seen.
This is what happens at 32 she commented and she pointed out her cellulite would be airbrushed out of photos. She's 161 pounds, tall and gorgeous.
This was called the So What Campaign. It seems to have lost its momentum. I do hope in 2009 Tyra brings it back.
Thoughts?
