Here is a big applause for Brigitte, Germany’s most read women’s magazine!
From 2010, they are banning models from their pages – all editorials will we done with normal (I would rather say “average”) women. This is a fantastic step in the direction of boycotting the artificially created image of the impossible beauty perfection which so strongly destroys not only women’s self-esteem but also men’s criteria.
Now, if they would also ban Photoshop, the job would really be done. I hope more magazines (and also the advertising world) are to follow. Let’s start liking the natural (and possible) us.
