Interesting read - and while not entirely true, I think it holds valid weight ... no pun intended.
And I had no idea for a le.
@ the le....yeah, that was pretty deceptive.
Beautiful bones? Hardly, says Dr Dee Dawson. 'With a body like that, she'll be osteoporotic very early, she's unlikely to be menstruating, her muscles are being eaten from within - even her heart will have wasted away.
If they are trying to dissuade young girls from starving themselves to death, they should probably leave that little tidbit out.
Thirty-eight per cent of British women are now classified as overweight, and one in five is obese. If we resemble anyone, it's not Posh e. It's Elton John.
Who's Amy Winehouse?Other exemplars include Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Kate Bosworth, Amy Winehouse -
Oh and personally...I've never looked at a celebrity model and wished I could be that thin. To me they were always like Barbies or people from another planet, sure they're all beautiful, but I never thought that getting to be a size 00 would get me to look like them. Personally, everyday girls my age I see on the streets are more influencing.
Jazz singer songwriter from England. She is pretty good actually. She did that song me Pumps.
Hookers?
Yea...because the "Everyday" girl= a hooker.
And what exactly are you insinuating about me with that comment anyways?
Depends on your neighborhood, I guess.Yea...because the "Everyday" girl= a hooker.You're no Elton John....And what exactly are you insinuating about me with that comment anyways?
. In this looking-glass world, a 100-pounder is a heavyweight. Size 00 - a logical impossibility when you pause to consider it - is now Hollywood's dress-size of choice. True perspective can be gained when you consider that the pin-up of the 1890s was Lillian Russell, all 200 pounds of her.
JayneWe don't even have to mention Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren - none of whom would get the job today - to know that something's up.
Marilyn
Sophia
ok some of those are NSFW ... but they're all a lot more attractive than quite a few of the ones listed in the article.
I look up to Jim Belushi, so im eating my ass of to look like him.
On the Other Hand......
Victoria Beckham
Keira Knightley
Eva Herzigova
I remember reading that women did permanent damage to their bodies back in the 1920's and earlier by wearing excessively tight corsets.
Ewwwww, Victoria Beckem isn't even pretty (even aside from the skinniness).
Corsets were mostly extinct by the 1920's. (only to be replaced by rubber girdles)
but yes they did major damage to themselves in the 1700 & 1800's.
especially around 1820's - 1860's when the ideal waist was 17inches in a debutante.
some went to extremes and had thier lower ribs removed.
I refer to her as skeletor, Hubie's younger sister.
That picture of Keira still scares me...I swear I saw her on an episode of Skeleton Stories the other day.
Oh that's right, I forgot about that. 17 inches...........that's messed up.
Haha that's some funny stuff OG
Hey, Obi, give us a break! How are we supposed to read these threads at work?
They're just way too skinny. It's quite gross. I have a friends who is pretty thin, has really nice abs, and big boobs (and yes, they're real)....but she's always complaining about how she needs to lose weight and going without eating. It makes me want to slap her.
I get funny looks and snickers behind my back all the time for my weight despite the fact that I'm a former dancer with a 26" waist -- I just happen to be naturally curvy. Kind of appalling, really. I love my size/shape, though, and wouldn't change it for the world.
Women on women I dream of that every night.
