I'm buying a subscription to Glamour magazine

I avoid women's magazines. I am a confident woman, but Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Self, Allure, Fashion, etc have the ability to make me feel like I'm not enough: I don't have enough money, my clothes aren't stylish enough, I don't exercise enough, I'm not thin enough, I don't wear enough make-up or paint my nails enough....Enough!

Then suddenly Glamour does something that monumentally shifts the way I see their magazine and I want to embrace the hell out of it!



Check out Lizzi Miller, aka "the Woman on p. 194". She's gorgeous, confident, smiling and REAL! It's scary how much better I felt about my own naked body after seeing this beautiful 20 year-old and her fleshy frame. I'm going to admit that my immediate feeling was, "I'm NOT disgusting!" (Though I rationally reject it, the media's portrait of an ideal woman obviously effs with my self-esteem.)

Keep it up Glamour! Real women need affirmation. Imagine the positive feminine energy you are unleashing on the world. Also, imagine the revenue if you are the first to stop alienating the average size woman.
