My conversation with two Dove models part 1

Most women I know absolutely love the Dove commercials because they feature real women who are attractive without needing two or three hours of beauty preparation a day.

You can imagine how excited I was to be able to interview two of the women who were models in Dove’s recent Shine Hair Care campaigns.

I’d have to say this is one of the most animated interviews I’ve done and I enjoyed every minute of my discussion with Laura and Shannon.

This is a two-part interview because there was so much to cover. During this first interview with Shannon and Laura, we discussed some of these aging-well topics:

* Adding an extra candle to our birthday cake every year.

* The influence of images of women “past a certain age” that are presented in the media.

* Is the media doing a better job at celebrating women over 35 or are we still dealing with stereotypes?

* Dove’s initiative to use real women as opposed to models for their ads?

* Laura and Shannon’s ultimate aging-well secret?
