Following Julia Bluhm's online petition against airbrushed images in magazines, Seventeen Magazine's editor-in-chief gives an acknowledging response to the young teen's efforts.
Seventeen's editor-in-chief as well as their entire staff agreed to sign an eight-point body pace treaty, "promising not to alter natural shapes and include only images of real girls and models who are healthy."
My thoughts: I was amazed to see such a determined young girl to make a difference in magazines and the advertising in them. Young women have been looking to artificial images for so long, it is great to see Seventeen Magazine acknowledging the fact that young women realize these are not "real" images.
