Dove ‘Visible Care’ Ad Creates Racial Firestorm
Dove soap has created an image of functional diversity on the common ground that all women meet on, how to improve their aesthetics. Problems with the epidermis occur racially from dry skin to ashy.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Okay, maybe there was some kind of language barrier between France and Italy’s Vogue magazine staffs, but in case someone missed the memo or translated improperly we need you to know this.
