Our beauty comes from the inside and recognizing how we can contribute to the world and to ourselves is much more important than a 'perfect' outfit. We are like messengers of the good news. "Smile. This day belongs to you.", wrote Martyna."Love yourself as you are here and now", put Perfidia. Some of us are specialists on psychiatry and psychological support, some others are girls and women who have experienced how difficult it is to go through hell of anorexia and bulimia. Apart from promoting and publishing the Post-It messages [inspired by WBB's Orange Revolution] intend to write the series of articles to criticize the consumptionist tendency to base our lives on marketing-aimed sick campaign glorifying skinny models and the need for becoming more and more 'perfect'. We also want to publish the texts on healthy self-acceptance."
