The Media and Body Image
We all know that how that how the media depicts women effects our young people and their own body image.
Recently, Glamour magazine printed a photo of model, Lizzie Miller, which caused a surprisingly amount of controversy.
Now in their November issue, Glamour has a photo spread of seven beautiful women, all three to five sizes larger than the models you generally see in magazines.
What do you think, is this a sign of things to come? Is the mainstream media finally changing to depict real women instead of super-thin supermodels? Is this a body image revolution as Glamour is promoting, or is this just another way to sell magazines?

I wear long sleeve shirts to the workouts and Chris the Photographer mentioned this to me. I said my arms look awful and her reply was Ms. Pati don't worry no one notices they are focused on themselves. I'm still laughing. God made us all so perfect and we just want to tear down his work.
I have changed my mind and hence changed my attitude to an Attitude of Gratitude. Love what he and Berto have done for me and will be showing it all at the Bungalow Beach house in Anna Maria..
Thanks Liz
