Flatter Your Figure - Finding your perfect jeans

When you think of the different body types out there, and then consider the number of styles of jeans on the market, it's no wonder that finding the perfect pair of jeans for your specific body can be overwhelming, to say the least. And then, when you factor in not only fit, but also age and event appropriateness (a 30- or 40-year-old woman should probably wear a different style than a 16-year-old girl), it just gets more confusing.

Fortunately, Redbook did some dutiful denim research and found some jeans for everybody and every body. They found styles to flatter all kinds of figures, so whether your big booty needs a boost or your rear is a bit wider than you'd like, there's a jean for you.

Check out the gallery to see what kinds of jeans will work for your body type, but regardless of your shape, keep in mind the following rules:

Imagine a Photoshop-free magazine cover

Now this is a group movement we can get behind! Dodai over at Jezebel tipped us off to this campaign to get a major magazine to publish a cover without any Photoshopping!

Considering the egregiously heavy handed state of retouching these days, this would be a radical move. Remember the big Faith Hill before and after Redbook cover? The weird gold Gwyneth Paltrow cover of W? The "Is that really Drew Barrymore" Vogue cover? And this Marie Claire cover of Tina Fey, where she looks great, but not quite like herself...

Seriously, when you have to make these women look "better" to sell your product, your standards of beauty are warped.

Miss Mao exhibition in London

The hottest thing during the Chinese Cultural Revolution was the Little Red Book that good Maoists (and everyone in China, as its ownership was compulsory) carried around to better quote Chairman Mao Zedong.

How times have changed. These days, the hottest thing in London right now is the Miss Mao show at Blacklist Projects. Miss Mao is a group show entirely built around a sculpture -- specifically, the scandalous "Miss Mao" sculpture created by Chinese brothers Gao Zhen and Gao Qiang and smuggled out of China to avoid censorship.

The Miss Mao exhibition brings together Chinese artists, Chinese-British artists, and British artists who have something to say about the situation in contemporary China. In addition to sculpture, the show draws upon billboard art, video, photography and installation pieces to probe, politicize and pontificate about post-Mao China.

The show runs through August 13th, so -- if you're not already in London -- you'd better buy your tickets soon. And bring your Little Red Book, too.
