Beauty standards of the World

So, I've decided to do my web essay on the different beauty standards across the globe. They very significantly from what we see here in the US. Being unaware and close-minded to all the types of beauty out there causes lots of girls to be insecure and hurt themselves. If we were more aware that the unattainable, stick thin, tall, blond, large breasted girl we see in the media is NOT the only type of beauty, we all would feel better about ourselves.

I first googled the terms "world beauty" but got several websites for beauty products and companies.

So I added the word "standard" at the end and BINGO! lots of websites if will use for sure in my web essay! Several blogs pop up, and lots of sites of pictures.

I LOVE these images!! This is exactly what I'm looking for...lots of examples and visual examples of how the beauty standard varies around the globe.

My hope is to give girls the confidence to go out and be proud of who they are and how they look.
