Hey, I'm wondering if anyone else read about the new Seventeen Magazine treaty? Ann Shoket has agreed to a few promises including (among one which has been most sought after by Miss Representation), to not alter the images of their models in their articles and ads. The hope is that young women will be more honestly represented as they really are, and girls who read the magazine will not feel compelled to be something that they are not.
What do you think about this? (P.S. Click on the hyperlink above to read the article. :)

I have a subscription and when I read that article and the yahoo article about a Pretty Amazing scholarship winner that took pictures for their cover and I totally support the petition they're proposing but I'm disappointed with Seventeen for not upholding their motto for loving today's girls just as they are in the first place.
