Dove Real Beauty partners with "The Women" Movie

Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty has been one of encouragement, acceptance and empowerment for women of all ages.  Now, Dove has partnered with the upcoming movie, "The Women".  "The Women" is a film made by women, for women, that depicts the powerful impact of female friendships. 

Dove has produced a short documentary titled The Women Behind "The Women" .  In it, a 16-year old student journalist from Red Wing, Minnesota visits the set of "The Women" and interviews the stars of the movie--Annette Bening, Deborah Messing, Meg Ryan and Jada Pinkett Smith on real beauty versus the manufactured beauty of Hollywood. 

A fun surprise was seeing Julie Hewett in the documentary! She is the Makeup Department Head on "The Women" movie and is fond of saying "It's not easy being a natural beauty--it takes all day!".  The Women Behind "The Women"  is a powerful documentary and I really enjoyed watching it.  You can find The Women Behind "The Women" documentary here.

After looking at The Women Behind "The Women", I definitely plan to see the movie.  And I'll be calling a bunch of my girlfriends to make it a night out.  Why not celebrate our real beauty together?  "The Women"  opens in theatres on September 12, 2008.  Don't miss it!
