"It is real. It's just not a picture of the person in the story. "
It appears the photo was originally taken from an anorexia fetish site which no longer exists. To suggest that actual fashion models look like that is absurd. They would be laughed off the runway, just before an ambulance was called to take them to the hospital. I realize you were trying to make a point, but being dishonest isn't a very good way to do it.

It came from this site that still WORKS!

Now go away... and take your insults with you.
Whether her agency sent her to a specialist or not is moot. My point stands: this girl worked for an industry that takes the old motto "you can never be too thin" to an extreme. Girls 25+ pounds underweight are routinely encouraged to shed just a couple more so they'll be "perfect."
Both pictures are of the dead fashion models at their 'ideal' professional sizes just prior to their deaths.
Thank you :)
Hardly factual scientific data, eh?
LOL
I'm 5'2 and I struggle to maintain my weight. I love funny bones and wine!
I personally believe that Nicole Ritchie's skinny act is for publicity's sake. She's a bizarre looking mediocrity who has gotten tons of magazine covers simply because she won't eat.
That said, I do believe that anorexia is a real mental disorder and it must be heartbreaking to watch someone fade away by their own doing and you cannot stop them.""
Timely----This was the topic on Dr Phil today.
While I would like to part with 30 pounds, I cannot imagine what is swimming around inside their heads that drives them to this.
Also, I cannot imagine who would hire them and pay them obscene amounts of money. That photo looks like something out of a grade B horror movie. UUUGGGGHH....
How do you prefer your men?""
1. HONEST
2. ONE WOMAN MAN
3. STRAIGHT
4. George Clooney clone--- But Harry Smith is really sexy, also, along with Patrick Stewart. I could go on...

You can never be too rich or too thin."
Too thin ?? Yes, you can!!!
As for too rich? I still buy lottery tickets.
What a waste!
Yeah, she had stunning eyes.
Pictures. We want pictures.
120 lbs at 5'7" doesn't strike me anywhere near an anorexic weight. My wife is that tall, and weighed 105 pounds when we got married.
Are you bragging or complaining?
LOL! Neither! Of course, that was then, this is now. Neither of us still weigh what we did at our 'playing weight' ;)
