Short film by Dove explores women's first impressions of each other

dollymixrobyn.jpgAt 2pm today Dove.co.uk will premiere their new short film, Intuition, which aims to broaden women's judgments of each other.

In the film, women are shown footage of other women they don't know, and are invited to comment. After making this film Dove commissioned research into women and the compliments they received:

  • 15% of women never receive comments about their appearance
  • 19% only rarely receive them
  • 6% of women only hear negative comments from their mothers
  • 92% of women admit they take comments they receive to heart

Check out the film over at the Dove website, which will be the latest in the Dove film series. There's already a brilliant one called Evolution showing how a perfectly pretty woman is made up and PhotoShopped to look "commercial ready".

    Bit of an off-topic rant coming up. A good idea. However I can't take anything Dove does seriously. This is owned by the same brand that advertises sexist Lynx/Axe adverts then goes on to say the opposite in it's adverts aimed at women. Clearly they're just telling their audience what they want to hear and don't have their heart in the message that every woman is beautiful. Especially since I know someone who applied to model for Dove's 'real beauty' campaign. They ask so much of their so called "natural" models, asking them to lose weight, change their hair and appearance etc rather than taking them as they come. Then going ahead and actually airbrushing them too, not allowing them to have any tattoos or blemishes etc... bleh!

  • This is because each women is jealous of other beautiful women. This is their common mentality.

  • What a great idea. I've noticed that even my friends are reticent to compliment each other on how they look. Very strange.



    Also, I'd just like to say that I think you're doing a fantastic job here Robyn. You've made DollyMix a part of my daily routine! Keep up the good work.
