—Norman Jameson
That quote is preceded by this short paragraph:
Air brush artists create more beautiful cover girls than all the diets, shampoos, make up, hair coloring and gyms in America. Yet, our daughters are emotionally bombarded, bullied and belittled by bold, bare images that bellow, “This is how you must look.”
So what do the cover girls show me? Something less than real. And what do those pictures of women announce? The same thing. Gals (and guys), remember that!
Disclaimer: I haven’t read the book in question. I haven’t read any books by Vicky Courtney. So I am in no way endorsing it or her, nor am I suggesting you buy or even read the book. But if you must purchase it, here’s a link that should generate a bit of profit for me: Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter
On the other hand, maybe this book from Rod & Staff Publishers would interest you: Dear Princess.
