Take a look at this:

For too long
beauty has been defined by narrow, stifling stereotypes.
You've told us it's time to change all that.
We agree.
Because we believe real beauty comes from
many shapes, sizes and ages.
It is why we started the campaign for real beauty.
And why we hope you'll take part.


At the hugely popular AsianSmiles blog, you get a preview of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty -- from which the above was taken -- along with one of the studies undertaken by Dove to shed more light on Asian women's attitudes toward beauty and self-image.

Whether you're pear-shaped, in the prime of your youth or sporting a boy's cut, do check out the campaign.

If you'd like to see the charming Filipina who's been included in the Asia-wide campaign, click here. (I'm 99% sure this woman is Filipina; if I got my nationalities all mixed up after reading the feature on the campaign in the Philippine Daily Inquirer a couple of weeks ago -- the other models come from Thailand and Singapore -- I apologize, but I'm in the process of verifying my data).

Whether you're tipping the scales at 190 or 90 lbs., whether you've got white hair, jet black hair or no hair, whether you're a guy or have got more like a guy's figure -- Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty (Copyright© Unilever Philippines) is worth more than a peek.

  • The old maxim, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” still maintains its accuracy.

    Beauty is not persuaded by body proportions, gift of breast, lengthy and shining hair and clearness of skin.

    In my case, it is how that person relates to me that make s/he the most beautiful creature on earth.

  • Nice to know that there are people whose concept of beauty goes beyond skin-deep and is not the "sensual" kind either.

    I sure wish more people would speak up on this...
