It's a disease.
Kimorexia tipped me off to a disgusting story that's appearing in the March issue of Elle Magazine. I can't seem to load the original link to this story, but I did find a quote on it here:
"You know that whole thing about how being superskinny is an ideal originated by the fashion industry and perpetuated by female competitiveness and like, totally NOT AT ALL what men are interested in etc. etc.? Well that’s bullshit, says a story in the March Elle by Amanda Fortini, a 5′6 woman who dropped to 100 pounds a few years back. “Many men, I quickly learned, really do like frighteningly lean women, whatever they may claim to the controversy. As an average, medium-size young woman, I was unremarkable, innocuous. As a skinny slip of a thing, I was something of a sensation. In restaurants and at parties, men flirted at me extravagantly…As a male friend once put it to me, semifacetiously,” she writes, ‘A little anorexia is hot.’"
Bullsh*t.
You know, if any guy out there thinks that osteoporosis, hair loss, amenorrhea, eroded tooth enamel, dry and flaking skin, lanugo, constipation, bloating, liver failure, bloodshot eyes, vomit in the hair, constant abrasions on the knuckles, swollen salivary glands, sore throats, poor wound healing, dizziness and fainting and any and all of the side effects associated with eating disorders are hot ... please leave a comment, so we know you exist. Be sure to tell us what you find attractive about these things. I, personally, would love to know.
Elle Magazine, you should be ashamed of yourself. I may have to change my signature.
