Follow Cleopatra’s lead
Re “Fleshy thighs on parade,” Opinion, Aug. 2
Meghan Daum absolutely nailed the reason why the new Dove commercial is so uncomfortable to watch. Yes, let the professional models do their work. Also, stop pretending to celebrate our bodies as they are, if the purpose is just to sell us corrective creams. I feel no guilt about the beauty products I buy.
Cleopatra was considered the world’s most brilliant and intriguing woman, and she invented the luxury bath. Most women enjoy the fantasy approach.
