Finding positive body image in our media-driven society is a hard task, but hunting down body positive pigs doesn’t have to be!

In celebration of Love Your Body Day 2011, Love Your Body Detroit is throwing a weeklong event that not only will make way for people to have a better relationship with their body but also bring awareness to a number of female-owned businesses in the area.

Participating businesses include,

Have Hips – Clawson

Rouge Makeup and Nails – Ferndale

Naka – Ferndale

Thicke Madam Boutique – Ferndale

Painting with a Twist – Ferndale

City Bird – Midtown Detroit

Pauline’s Closet – Midtown Detroit

Each business will be hosting a piggy bank that has been decorated by artists and activists from around the country. To participate in the scavenger hunt each participant must take a photo of themselves with as many pigs as they can find. After their “hunt” they can send their photos to LYBDetroit@gmail.com and each photo will count as an entry into a raffle with prizes from each participating business. If a person visits every pig their entry into the raffle doubles. All photos and winners will be announced on Love Your Body Detroit’s Facebook page.

The event begins on Love Your Body Day, October 19th and runs though Sunday October 23rd.
