Do you think this is too skinny?


Recommended Posts

That actually makes me mad that the shot is from a modeling shoot and not a medical textbook. No one should be making money off of looking like that.

Please tell me what they were advertising so I can never buy it.

Too skinny? Hell yes. I've seen strung-out crack whores who looked healthier than LL did in those two uber skinny shots. When people are naturally skinny, or big, that's one thing. We've all seen pics of LL with a healthy slim figure, which looks much better on her. When someone is at their natural weight, I think they just look better no matter what. Of course we all still need to eat right, and take care of ourselves, but there's only so much fighting nature that you can do without causing havoc on your body.

And that last skinny pic, that's just gross, and very sad. I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, but when the body gets too skinny/malnourished, some people actually grow downy hair all over their body. The hair is called "lanugo" and its the body's way to keep itself warm when theres nothing else to do so. WTF? Nature protecting us from ourselves again!!

So now that I've just given my reactionary "Christ, woman, eat something!" response, I also want to say that behind it all, there is obviously some serious business going on with anyone who is that skinny. None of us know what she's really going through, and even though on the surface I think her celebrity personality sucks, she could actually be a really nice person who's gone through some bad crap that nobody knows about, and deals with it by being anorexic. When we are unhealthy, its getting down to the nitty-gritty of how we got there that will help us get back on track.

And to finally get to the TL quote above, I completely agree with TL and OMG. I think its shameful to glorify anorexia as being beautiful. So now not only do we have our young girls/boys becoming anorexic due to all of the problems in their lives, by glorifying it, it becomes enticing to some who previously had no major problems. Hmmmmm, yeah, that's nice.

Sorry if I'm rambling. I'm just trying to get all my thoughts out before I hit the sack, which should have been over an hour ago :)

concentration camp survivor. she looks like she's dying. wouldn't you all feel bad if she was dying from cancer or something.

Okay, so lets say she is dying of cancer. Does that make it ok for her to be "fashionable?" I would definitely feel bad if she truly was dying of a disease or something, but as far as the fashion ads go, that's not what is being presented. Dying or not, I wouldn't want any young mind to look at that thinking that "death skinny" was "in."
