It’s a scene etched in many a movie goers mind – actress Mena Suvari rolling around in a room full of rose petals in “American Beauty”.

Fruth wants to retake that quintessential male fantasy and use it to empower women of all colors, ages and sizes to be happy about their bodies:

“By stepping into a fantasy dream girl world and by letting go of that fear, they free themselves up to direct that energy they once wasted on telling themselves that they weren’t good enough to elsewhere in their life,” Fruth said.
