Despite our phenomenal lists exploiting beautifying the well-endowed features of women, we here at Complex all love our grandmothers, mothers, and sisters. Like our name, it’s a complex category to discuss. Sure, we're suckers for derrieres, breasts, and nice legs, but we also appreciate beauty, brains (not the physical activity), and nice dispositions. So we understand what the new pro-women documentary Miss Representation is trying to get across. Watching a film like this will most likely cause us to loathe our behaviors, until, of course, the latest paparazzi shot zooming in on Katy Perry’s two glorious gifts shows up online. Plus, the trailer isn’t all entirely convincing, though we’re still intrigued. We’re just hoping our daughters and nieces don’t grow breasts too soon. If they do mature too quickly, though, here’s a film we can show them. Miss Representation (directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom), premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past Saturday. Tell a lady friend or two about it to bag some feminist chicks help fight the power for women’s equality. --Jaeki Cho
