		<title>Out of Proportion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at Sociological Images (www.contexts.org) there was a recent posting that made my head spin a bit. Click here to check out their post comparing photos of celebrities in the 90s and photos of those same celebrities now.
It&#8217;s pretty shocking to see the different a decade makes. Not only are these female celebrities ten years [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=173&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>True for Boys and Girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jessica Hagy put up another great comic called &#8220;True For Boys and Girls.&#8221; Take a look.
In the comments for the comic, several people also pointed out that the circle B should actually be partially out of the A circle, as the cultural definition of beauty is often patently unachieveable by anyone. It&#8217;s outside reality. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=168&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Operation Beautiful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a woman in Florida who&#8217;s started Operation Beauty, in order to help people feel better about themselves. She encourages people to write down a positive message on a post-it note and putting it in a public place, like a public bathroom mirror. The site ( here ) shows examples of these notes all over [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=162&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hey, Mom, you&#8217;re looking good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A topic I think I under-addressed in my book is the importance of mothers to set a good example for her daughter for body image.
I just came across a website for a book that encourages mothers to work around their own body image issues to help their daughters develop a body-positive attitude. The book &#8220;You&#8217;d [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=160&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Resolutions, re:solutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What if the beauty and fashion industry acted like they knew that their choices affected how people view beauty and fashion and did the right thing?
Wonderful, wonderful things.
This is the hopes of those women running the blog: 5 Resolutions
I love their &#8220;mission statement&#8217; of their five resolutions to transform fashion and beauty industries. In sum, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=158&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The F-Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Feminism. I stumbled upon the the blog http://the-f-word.org and I&#8217;m loving it. From a quick read, it looks like this feminist blogger has a history of anorexia and is now a vegetarian who at least some of her time looking at issues from a feminist perspective.
For example, this entry talks about a Self article that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=155&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Barbie and Ken 101</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another spoken word piece, this time a little bit of a harsher edge, but it has an important message nonetheless. Again, there is some very strong language here and some more mature themes, and while I don&#8217;t think it interrupts the meaning of the piece, it might not be appropriate for everyone. Viewer discretion [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=149&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, this morning, I was on Global television (channel seven?) at about 7:15 AM!  There is going to be no where left to hide from me at this rate. It was a lot of fun, despite getting at up at 5:00 in the morning. I think I&#8217;ve nearly used up my fifteen minutes of &#8220;fame&#8221;, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beautyvsbeast.wordpress.com&blog=4237705&post=145&subd=beautyvsbeast&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
