hmm .. mmm. ... hmm.

i do think what dove's doing is pretty fucking cool.

i like the idea of encompassing a more complete idea of beauty/etc ...

complete but healthy.

the women in the pic posted, afaik could all be in the healthy range.
the idea of beauty/attractiveness does need to be expanded.

not just size-wise ... (and even then, i'm one of those who thinks most everybody can at least be in the healthy range ..) ...
but height, proportions, unconventiality (pierced/tatooed, whatever) ... all that stuff.
would be nice to have it all included in what is considered 'attractive'.

[tangent]
on the other hand ... i don't think it's been brought up in this thread, but there's a similar thread on a fashion forum i frequent ...
for 'fashion' models, i still think tall and thin does it best. runway, at least.
although i wouldn't mind seeing shorter/'unconventional' women in editorials ...
[/tangent]

anyways - in summary.

real women are very cool by me... so long as they're healthy and shit, there definitely ought to be a bigger variety of 'acceptability'.
