Hi BLU & Midas & BLUmni,

A friend of mine, Holly, is the features editor for Seventeen magazine.  She is looking for girls 15-22 who would be willing to do a photo shoot for a really important cause -- improving girls' perceptions about their own body image.  If you're interested in a) helping me help my friend, b) being in a magazine, c) talking to Holly about life/career in the journalism industry (she has worked for several other magazines in addition to Seventeen), d) supporting this new campaign that i think is so worthwhile, and/or e) being in LA at the end of June, please contact me (or Holly directly if you're feeling brave) ASAP (like today!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to let me/her know that you are interested.

Read Holly's email below for more information.

Love,
Jessie

Hello there,

So very nice to see you this weekend--not just to be silly on the dance
floor, but to actually spend some nice time with you and Ben. I really enjoyed seeing you two in action--I envy your ease and affection together. I hope we don't go quite so long again before hanging out. If it means fast tracking a Victor engagement, I'm on it.

So naturally, I have yet another LA work-related request for you, but
finally, it's actually a pretty cool one. Here's the spiel (and please
excuse the formality that's about to ensue):

Seventeen is launching a new campaign to help girls accept their bodies and
eliminate the negative thoughts and feelings they have toward themselves.
Whether theyıre self-conscious about one feature, their body size in
general, or donıt feel like they fit current cultural beauty ideals, we want
to help girls be at peace with their bodies and appreciate all the amazing
things they can do--not dwell on what they don't like or want to change.

We're looking for girls age 15-22 who would be willing to talk about how
they feel about their bodies, specifically if they have any insecurities
about the way they look and how theyıve tried to overcome them. Ideally, the
candidates would be bright, articulate young women who want to help other
girls feel better about themselves and have a strong commitment to boosting
their friends' and other females' self esteem. They would need to be
available for a photo shoot in Los Angeles, most likely at the end of June.

We need to get photos and a bit of info from any candidates who would be
good for this (maybe someone from your Ultimate team?), so if you know of
someone who could be a good fit and would be interested, I would love it if
you wouldn't mind passing along this email--feel free to forward to anyone.
We need to get a few jpgs of each girl, along with a quick paragraph or two
about her struggle with body image issues, how she's overcome them, and why
she would want to be involved with this project. Unfortunately, I am on a
tight deadline and need all the info by tomorrow, (naturally!), so if they
could send it to me ASAP at heagleson@... I would really appreciate
it. And of course if anyone has any questions, they can feel free to call
anytime at 212-649-3114.

Hope you had a good trip back and that your short week is wrapping up
nicely.

-HE
