From the hairdresser to the plastic surgeon, from the advertising industry moguls to the cosmetic counter sales staff, the beauty industry makes millions of pounds by convincing the average woman she must constantly seek personal perfection and perpetual youth. In this lighthearted documentary, two such 'average' women try to discover the origins of the modern view that wrinkles, double chins, hairy armpits, fat tummies and small breasts are unattractive. With Naomi
Woolf, author of last year's controversial bestseller, The Beauty Myth, and beauty historian Professor Arthur
Marwick. See panel below. Director Kathy O'Neil Producer Jon Blair
