GIRL POWER: What Happens When Thousands Of Teen Girls Ask Seventeen To Stop Selling Them Out?

I thought this would get some attention, but this is above and beyond.

Back in April, SPARKteam member and all-around cool girl Julia Bluhm asked Seventeen to post one unaltered photo spread a month. Then, SPARK teamed up with Miss Representation, LoveSocial,, and I Am That Girl for the #KeepItReal campaign, and thousands of people responded on Twitter, Instagram, and through blogs, asking women’s and girls’ magazines to stop Photoshopping the ever-loving crap out of every woman’s body that graces their pages.

Guess what?

They won.

Seventeen has agreed to stop altering girls’ faces and bodies. Check out the article below!
