Show Our Beauty: A Challenge to Women's Magazines

Hello to everyone that has joined the campaign! First, I want to say “THANK YOU.” You have inspired me to put all my efforts into this project. I just wanted to send an announcement out that outlines what those efforts have been and how you can help them!

Your help has come first and foremost by joining the campaign. If that is all the time and effort you can donate to the cause – thank you for that! This email is intended for anyone else that feels particularly strong about this issue, as I do, and I promise that this email will not be followed by any more unless there is some MAJOR news.

What we need right now? More attention to the campaign.

How can we do that? By getting more memberships.

Why? Publishers and media will be more likely to publish an issue/pick up this story if they know that tons of people want it!

The most important thing you can do? Get a friend to sign up. Get your mom, your little sister, your daughter. Send it on to your family members, your sorority, your volleyball team, your facebook friends, and any other group you know that there are women who might want to see a cover without the warping and changing so common now.

What have I been up to? First, I have been busy sending this campaign to everyone I know and their mothers (literally). The campaign is getting attention on the blogosphere after it got started with the Jez post, but there is plenty more to be done. Have a blog? Write about it! Know a good blogger? Send this to them as a tip!

I’m also sending the campaign and the wonderful responses I’ve gotten on to media outlets. Who better to cover a magazine story than the mainstream media? Someone will listen to this challenge that we’ve presented to magazines!

I am trying to exhaust every outlet and every possibility online, and that includes sites like Diggand Yahoo Buzz. If you have accounts on either of these sites, feel free to Digg the campaign or Buzz— it up.

Again, thanks for joining, and if you made it this far, thanks for reading!
