http://www.blogher.com/2007-cheers Comments for "2007 Cheers " en http://www.blogher.com/2007-cheers <p>In the fall of 2006, I became convinced that we were on the precipe of a beauty and body standard revolution. That the standards were about to be shaken up in a very real way. We're still warming to that revolution, but I believe it is working up it's speed (look for my revolution posting later this week). Here are some of the things that I remember from 2007 that gave the revolution steam. Check them out here and if you want the full story on any of these, head to <a href="http://hijasamericanas.wordpress.com" title="http://hijasamericanas.wordpress.com">http://hijasamericanas.wordpress.com</a> for live links. Here's to at least doubling the list of cheers in 2008! </p> <p>1. Jennifer Hudson gracing the cover of the March 2007 issue of Vogue-- the spring fashion spread.</p> <p>2. The world domination of America Ferrera and Ugly Betty. </p> <p>3. Tyra Banks confronts tabloid coverage of figure and says, "SO WHAT?" </p> <p>4. J. Love takes on the haters.</p> <p>5. Dove's Onslaught Campaign</p> <p>6. Sorority members quit in solidarity with dismissed sisters. </p> <p>7. Council of Fashion Designers of America introduces new health standards for models. </p> <p>8. A decline in abstinence-only sex education programs. I am all for young people being abstinent. I am NOT for undereducating our young people and, thus, leaving them vulnerable.</p> http://www.blogher.com/2007-cheers#comments Body Image beauty body image revolution self-confidence Sun, 06 Jan 2008 19:09:20 -0600 hijasamericanas 32467 at http://www.blogher.com
