Where do you find your models?
I'm not sure if this is in the right forum but someone can move it if it is not...
I'm reading Queen Bee Wanna Be right now, and it discusses many aspects of adolescent females...one of the things is that many minority girls have a difficult time finding women to relate to in all the teen/adult magazines - most are geared towards white women...or light skinned minorities. The look everyone should have is to be blond, blue eyed and skinny, or if you are a minority you should be light skinned and look like Halle Berry. It is an issue that all young girls face today - knowing that everyone cannot be beautiful and learning to be comfortable in their own skin and with their own bodies...
I guess my question is what are good resources for minority girls to look at as far as magazines, make-up, trends, etc go? I'll be working with this population, and would like to have more insight into ways to help them become more confident in who they are on their own (not on a stereotypical media image), and would like to be able to offer suggestions about where to go. Any suggestions?
