It is May 18, and today is Turn Beauty Inside Out Day! On this day people should challenge the usual definition/idea of beauty portrayed in popular culture and advertising. A great book to checkout is Naomi Wolf's, Beauty Myth. The book discusses the influence media and advertising has on culture, when it began, and just how deep this influence is. We all need a day when we recognize the individual and not just whether their outfit came from Abercrombie. Everyday should be like May 18th, but we all know what reality that is!!!
P.S. On July 25 the Library will be having a program called Self Esteem and Date Rape awareness from 11:30 to !:00 lunch is provided and there is only a $3 fee to attend. If anyone is interested in attending email me at keribncpl@yahoo.com or register at the Information desk by July 1st
