..."Campaign for Real Beauty"? Some of you are probably familiar with the "Dove Campaign for Real Beauty", a marketing campaign promoted by Dove personal care products that celebrates the natural physical variation embodied by all women and inspires them to have the confidence to be comfortable with themselves. The campaign challenges Western concepts of beauty that normally promote ultra-thin models with perfect features.
However, if Dove wanted to to promote this campaign by using female celebrities who challenge and don't conform to stereotypical standards of feminine beauty, which of the following women do you think would make an ideal spokesperson or model for the ads?
