*Red shoes symbolize a vibrant life and a return to the true self (home). They have come to represent personal empowerment, depth and vitality.
Concerns with body image and chronic dieting are so common, they are statistically “normal” for Canadian women. (From Olmsted, M. P., McFarlane, T. (2003). Women’s Health Surveillance Report: A Multidimensional Look at the Health of Canadian Women. Statistics Canada.)
This means if you like your body and you aren’t on a diet right now, you are abnormal. This is not only very sad, it is very dangerous, as body-image dissatisfaction and over-reliance on appearance as a source of self-esteem, impair the quality of life of most women, and are key diagnostic criteria for eating disorders.
Hope’s Garden’s vision is to foster a community that celebrates diverse bodies, encourages healthy eating and promotes high self esteem for all. We are committed to breaking down the narrow definition of beauty we are bombarded with in the media and our culture every day. The 4th annual fashion show will once again feature real people of all shapes and sizes on the catwalk. (Who can forget Mark LaPointe wearing those red Mary Jane pumps, or David Patchell-Evans’ push-ups?)
Without this event, Hope’s Garden simply would not exist and thousands of people suffering from these devastating illnesses would have no where to turn in our area. Please, gather your friends and plan on attending. And don’t forget your red shoes!
