Seventeen

A few months ago, fourteen year-old Julia Bluhm gathered signatures on a petition asking Seventeen magazine to feature one photograph in each issue that is not photoshopped (retouched, airbrushed, etc.) Her concern was that young women reading that magazine were being adversely affected by all the unattainable perfection. I wrote about it here.

At first, the magazine turned her down. But now Seventeen has relented. Yay! for the magazine. Yay! for Bluhm! Yay! for every woman loving her body in all its wonder.
