Dove Campaign for Real Beauty

A marketing campaign disguised as a Public Service Announcement. A series of ads by Dove/Unilever featuring several thick-waisted, moderately attractive women that are supposed to change the face of beauty, er, sell lots of soap. Mainly appeal to insecure, middle class female bloggers who can't deal with the fact that there are women out there who are thinner and prettier than themselves or their overindulged daughters. The revelation that many of these ads had been heavily airbrushed has pretty much brought this nonsense to an end.

Laura: I bought the Dove firming cream because the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty is trying to make women love their bodies as they are.

Caitlin: If our bodies are beautiful as they are, why do we need firming cream?

dude for real

making something serious beyond all other seriousness. it is never to be abused, used to trick someone, or used in conjunction with a lie. It can be used as a question asking the truthfulness or seriousness of a previous statement, or used in ones own sentence either before or after the sentence to describe its truthfulness or seriousness.

Guy 1: hey wake up the building is on fire!
Guy 2: Dude for real?
Guy 1: YEAH, dude for real.

Matt: hey, dude for real, there is a giant bee stinging people to death outside.
VInce: oh, well thanks for the heads up. i will stay inside.
Matt: good idea.

for real real not for play play

pertaining to a subject that one insists is indeed fact and not fiction.

Becky is pregnant for real real not for play play.

Since the speaker has added this expression, the listener can not mistake that Becky is pregnant because only by lying about her pregnancy would the statement be considered play play. Since Becky really is pregnant, this is for real real and can not be a lie or joke.

For real, for real on God

This is the way how you show that you actually mean something, that it is true. If someone can't say for real, for real on God then it means that it is not actually legit.

Do you love me?
Yes
Really?
For real, for real on God

Are you mad?
No
For real, for real on God?
*silence*
