I just saw an ad for the first time - three nude women. One of those bodies could have been mine with all the 'age growths' and 'love handles.' With all that's been in the news lately about anorexic models, I think showing women as they *really* are is wonderful. Go Dove!

Dove just put out a new ad made by a "regular" woman. Evidentially they had a contest and this woman won. It's great. Watch some tv just to catch it.

yonuh, I agree with the imperfect bodies. I just wonder why they had to be naked. What did you think of that? The ad is the very first one in this month's More magazine.

I thought the nudity was tastefully done. Reconsider viewing the commercial like what you would see in an art gallery of (traditional) nude paintings/drawings. Then the commerical is like tv art with live models in a studio.

Perhaps it is useful to show tasteful (all genitals & breasts covered up) nudity because it is a soap/skin/cream commerical on skin maintenance. And most of the time, people don't know what aging skin condition is like on other people in areas that you don't see every day.

I guess my reaction was the same as the JJ's. I saw the skin. I'm so used to seeing airbrushed and spraytanned skin with sparkles all over that seeing a real body was refreshing. I suppose they could have put on some underwear though.

I think bodies are beautiful, whatever their age, gender, color, condition. Every time I see a nude, I have to marvel at what the Creator made. I think about everything that the body does to keep us alive; how each individual cell knows what it is supposed to do and does it without much effort from us. Bodies come in so many shapes, sizes, and colors. Isn't it wonderful?

I looked at it as an art. Very tastefully done. They still didn't include one that looks like mine.
