Penney catalog. &nbsp;Most of the models were young and white, but they were also mostly low-key -- middling in height and pretty, but not glamorous. &nbsp;Newer advertising seems to be more "aspirational," and the pressure to look like a VS model or a celebrity has grown exponentially. &nbsp;For example, try to google "hairstyles" and find versions that aren't modeled by celebrities. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-positivity#post-1690223 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 19:17:26 +0000 Eli 1690223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/rachylou/">rachylou</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/susanolding/">Suz</a></p> <p>I guess my curiosity comes from the fact that i notice that more and more shops and even big companies have more variety when it comes to the people they have representing there looks and brand... I wonder if I am just noticing this more or if it is a new trend happening.. either way i like that there is more representation for people out there. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-positivity#post-1688023 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 07:48:03 +0000 rachylou 1688023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I suppose I do and that I feel more comfortable in decidedly mixed company. I am not, for example, any more comfortable in a group all of my own race than I would be in a group all of another race. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-positivity#post-1687893 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 23:03:22 +0000 Suz 1687893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I absolutely take notice and do my best to frequent shops or companies that are inclusive. That means using models with different body types, of different races and ethnicities, of different ages.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-positivity#post-1687823 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 20:45:38 +0000 Eli 1687823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Hello<br /> everyone, I am new to this community, it’s nice to meet all of you. I am an<br /> intern at <a href="http://shop1323.com" rel="nofollow">Shop1323.com</a> and there I have been given a great opportunity to learn<br /> about small business, and fashion boutiques. </p> <p>I have been thinking a lot about<br /> running my own businesses &nbsp;someday, and<br /> want to keep the ideals of body positivity, and inspiration in line with my potential<br /> future career. I guess the discussion I want to start is as shoppers, do you<br /> notice when shops are more inclusive and positive, (such as in their advertisements).<br /> I think I usually take notice when stores make an effort to make everyone feel<br /> welcomed. Just wanted to know everyone’s thoughts on this? </p>
