Turn Beauty Inside Out is our ongoing public awareness and action
campaign
to change the unhealthy messages about beauty that harm kids and
adults.
The campaign celebrates Inner Beauty-the beauty of action, caring and
making
the world a better place in ways both large and small.

The special (full-color!) May/June 2001 issue of New Moon with the
theme of
"25 Beautiful Girls" spreads our message and involves all our readers
in the
campaign.

May 16, 2001 is our Action Day (it's the 3rd Wednesday in May every
year).

from
lots of kids who are working in groups or by themselves to enter this
contest. You can help kids age 16 and under enter our "Make Your Own

Inner
Beauty. We want ads for TV, radio, print & the web. We're also
encouraging
kids to contact their local media to run the ads on May 16. Contest

We need 500,000 frequent flyer miles to bring several of the 25
Beautiful
Girls, the Girl Editors, and the winners of our ad contest to New York

meetings with the ad industry on May 10-11. Every single donated
ticket

Girls Inc. in Sioux City, IA. Are holding classes during the month of
May.
The 8 week session of classes for 10-11 year old is focusing on Inner
vs.
Outer beauty. They will be taking a values survey and completing a
body
image checklist. Then the girls will examine advertisements from
magazines
and analyze the magazine's message about body image. The girls will
write
some letters to the editors, etc. They will use the Internet, several
websites have projects where they put ads online to analyze regarding
body
image and society's portrayal of beauty. The girls will also examine
their
own personal inner beauty and will be involved in several related
activities. They will talk about eating disorders and other ways women
hurt
themselves trying to achieve what they believe is the "perfect body."

We'd love to hear what you are doing in your community. Email
lindae@n... and tell her what you're planning.
