It's about time ...

The 'powers-that-be' realize the really great thing about women is they come in all different sizes and shapes. The fashion/marketing/entertainment industrial complex has messed up a lot of young lives in their promotion of 'only skinny is beautiful', causing girls to feel worthless should they not be a size zero.

This is good news:

Germany's most popular women's magazine is banning professional models from its pages and replacing them with images of "real life" women instead.

...

Good on 'em.

Ladies, please, if you take any advice from this old dog, let it be this: Look at your mother. Generally, you will gain weight in the same places she does. You can't help it; it's all in the genetics. A guy who judges the worth of a woman by her body shape isn't worth knowing.

I can't believe how many beautiful women I've met whose self-esteem is in the dumper because they don't look like the girls in Vogue. You can be as beautiful as you want to be and don't let anyone tell you you're not. Be proud of who you are as an individual, not what some suit on Madison Avenue says you should be.
