    Honestly, I believe Dove on this one. And even if there was a bit of touching up here and there, it's advertising - I grant them that much room. The photos are still very true to what the campaign is trying to promote...

    Quoted: After a New Yorker profile implied that "king of the photo touchup" Pascal Dangin had airbrushed photos taken by Annie Leibovitz for Dove's high-profile " Campaign for Real Beauty," the company issued a statement last Friday explaining that Dangin had only removed dust and performed minor color corrections.

    Please, all these women look fabulous - this is not a real problem. Plus, a.) the idea of women in their 40s having sexuality is not so absurd, and b.) this show is clearly a fantasy world (an awesome one, haha). Can't wait for the movie!

    Quoted: How does 'Sex and the City' film avoid the age problem? By embracing it.

    I love Tina Fey (and Amy Poehler, for that matter). Looking forward to checking this movie out, and I'm especially curious how the gender politics play out!

    Quoted: Former Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" co-anchors Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-star in this baby-fever comedy about a single, career-oriented woman who previously put parenthood on hold, and is forced to hire a surrogate mother when she discovers there is only a one-in-a-million chance that she will be able to get pregnant.

You are invited to a presentation on these issues by India's leading activist, writer and publisher, Madhu Kishwar.
