Project Beautiful

[thebeeonmynose]

Hey, so I'm not sure if it has been mentioned here yet or not but I couldn't find a thread on it so I decided to make one.

There used to be a website dedicated to the idea of making people feel beautiful, by walking up to people and saying "you are beautiful" or leaving little notes around town with the message. Some people would write it on a bathroom mirror or weight loss products.

I tried to find the website again earlier and all I could reach was this facebook group: www.facebook.com/pages/Project-Beautiful/116518943127?ref=mf

I think it's a really good idea and can really make a persons day. So I'm just making note of it here to tell you all to get out there and try it.

You are beautiful

I like this idea.. I want to do it... I just wish I'd be able to see they're reaction :\

On a similar note, if we had a pogotribe gathering, I think it would cool for all of us to do something like this, or the free hugs thing, together... Just an idea..

[thebeeonmynose]

Yeah me and my friends are going down london sometime soon to spread some project beautiful notes. It'd be cool if some others came along or if we arranged another event to all meet up and do some other stuff.

[Johncoyne]

That would rock. I know that I'm bootylicious no matter what anyone says, but there are some that aren't as... unique (bat SHIRT crazy) as me.

[thebeeonmynose]

Ok so where would people like to go with this?

For the time being post pictures of times you have spread the project beautiful message?

Arrange a gathering so we can all work together?

[chelseeyuh]

thebeeonmynose, this is something we can all do individually, but I think it would be pretty BA if when we're together, we try to reduce world suck together as a tribe.

Some time this week, I think I'll write up some notes and post them around my school or something

This is a great idea! To bad i live over 9000 Miles from eveybody else. So I won't be able to attend to any arangment. But I will deffently try this at my town. We should nake a montage of this.

[RabbitWho]

I'm gonna do this today, I live near Norway.. by the standards of someone who lives 9000 miles away.

I'll post pictures this evening

I wrote this on the whiteboard of all the classrooms today

I only got to see the reaction of one set.
I was sitting in the office getting a game ready and i could hear the students coming in and then i heard a burst of giggeles which continued for a good few minutes.
And when I went in for the lesson this was added to the message:



How awesome is that?
So I explained the movement to them and they seemed to think it was a good idea, so you never know, maybe it will spread
The other teacher I ran into was pretty amused by it as well, i hope it sends positive vibes and giggles around the school for the day

[thebeeonmynose]

Ah that is awesome rabbitwho!
I've been telling a bunch of my mates about it recently and everyone seems to be walking around with post-it notes and pens because of it. Hopefully it'll become much bigger as time goes on.

[RabbitWho]

Tell them to take pictures! The contexts should be included if they can.



I can make a huge patchwork of coloured pictures like this, lets go for 100!
50 pictures x 50 pictures! And lets do it in a month! before May 5th!

[thebeeonmynose]

Well then. Lets get going, I'll go out tomorrow and spread the love

50x50 is 2500 not 100. What am I missing?

[thebeeonmynose]

My mums trying to convince me to make a banner and try and put it up somewhere famous in london. Hopefully getting the effect of it being on the news. thoughts on this?

Oh yeah, ha ha, 100 = 10 x 10.

Thank goodness you spotted that!

Anyway we still need 100 photos so get on it everyone!

Absolutely! I don't know about the news... my friends once strung up all of Eyre Square in Galway during the night, they wrapped string around the whole thing, it looked awesome, really beautiful. I don't think it even made the local papers and the police took it down in an hour, but it looked amazing!
But that was pretty abstract. Words might have a much bigger effect; you should totally do it. It would be awesome, get your friends in on it, it will be the most fun ever.

Your mom is awesome!

So we came to the conclusion that. Instead of hanging a sign in a public place. We can just stand there with the sign. They can't take the sign down if it's not connected to anything and the most they can do is ask us to move on. We agree and move on to the next big location. That way we can organise it so we can have friends all over the place in one big area. and open four banners at a time so everyone sees it before being moved on.

Well, 50+50 is 100, but the momentum of our tribe knocked the plus sign sideways.

This idea inspired me to draw this on my whiteboard in my office to hang up for people who come in to see:

That's so wonderful! Great work It must have taken ages.
could you get a picture of it hanging in the room for the collage? If that's not possible this way is good too

Or could use both

[Andy Glover]

It took 15 or 20 minutes, thank you!

I'm in the process of clearing some wallspace for it. My walls are covered with posters.
