The trailer for Michelle Trachtenburg's new movie is up on Apple Trailers, and she's wearing a bikini in it. I know she's a teenager, but daaaaaaaamn, is that girl skinny. You know, I figured she'd learn something from spending so much time with SMG, but really, I'm not sure that how to get mistaken for a microphone stand when you turn sideways is the life lesson she should have picked up.

Another stupid question from a guy

[seferin.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to offend, but what is the difference between APPEARING thin and APPEARING anorexic? I capitalized that because I know some women work hard to be thin, by working out and staying in shape. But how do you tell, from the outside, when it is unhealthy?

My personal standard, for anyone who wishes to attack me? I don't like to be able to see a woman's ribs. Yes, women have ribs... but I don't want to be able to count them. From across the room. With my glasses off.

and i know some women who really truly honest-to-god *are* that thin naturally. i know because *i* was 105 pounds at 5'5" (48 KG at 165 cm) for years (from about 16 years of age, to 28 years old when i got pregnant the first time). i'd been a skinny kid too.

that was about the time that folks started realizing stuph about anorexia and i would get accused of it regularly. to the point where i finally told anyone who accused me of it that they had to take me out to eat. where i would proceed to out-eat most of them. (and no, i wasn't bulimic either - i just had a very high metabolism).

one of the downsides was, i *had* to eat regularly and a lot, or i would start feeling faint...

so - before you start passing judgements on folks, remember that you don't know whether they're like that naturally or not. i have a number of friends who are the same way. in fact many of them have gone to protein supplements to try to *gain* some weight.

now - if you have a friend who you *know* is on a diet and has been losing weight to the point where you can count her ribs and still thinks she's fat... that's another thing entirely...

Actually, I was referring to some of the recent Playboy centerfolds.
