Dark is beautiful
The Dark is Beautiful campaign in India is challenging the belief that success and beauty depends on the lightness of your skin. In 2010, India鈥檚 skin-whitening cream market was worth $432M with top Bollywood stars and cricket players endorsing the latest products. But one Bollywood star 鈥� Nandita Das 鈥� has now broken ranks to speak out against the prevailing attitude that the most attractive and successful people have the lighter skins. She joins Jenni live from Mumbai.

Sexism on the Terraces
The Art of Sleeping Alone
Sophie Fontanel, a senior fashion editor for Elle, has written a hugely successful book called 尝鈥椭苍惫颈别. It has just been published in the UK as The Art of Sleeping Alone and it seem to have struck a chord with many young women in France. Sophie believes that it is preferable to have no sex rather than disappointing sex and she joins Jenni from Paris to talk about her choice to be celibate for 12 years.
