Stop The Beauty Madness
A new ad campaign from author Robin Rice, founder of Be Who You Are Productions, takes stock photos and adds messages about beauty standards for a combination that calls attention to the blatantly unrealistic standards of beauty that face women in today’s society.

That culture is this culture.And I couldn’t agree more.
