The Perfect Body Project

The Perfect Body Project has been created to bring forth awareness of the media's impact upon the consumer and their body image. The thin ideal is the concept that beauty only comes from thinness, a flawless face, and large breasts. This thin ideal is constantly thrown in the consumers' face through television, movies, fashion, newsprint, magazines, pro-ana/mia websites, and other digital media. This project is designed to raise awareness and instill the idea that all bodies are beautiful. The only beauty that truly matters is inner beauty. This project's main goals are to promote positive body image and self confidence, provide a judgement-free forum for people to share their stories, and to (eventually) begin a petition for a change in the media to change and moderate the "thin ideal" that has swept the nation.
