In the past several weeks I’ve run into three celebrities who have embraced the super skinny look. I was on line in a store behind Sarah Jessica Parker. From behind she looked like a crackhead. Her jeans hung off her and her body looked like a skeleton.
Lindsay Lohan, same thing. Scary, but she was wearing tights and it was alarming to see. Ashlee Simpson as well and she’s a new mother. While she’s stuffing her baby with fat-inducing baby formula, she’s starving herself.
And please, don’t believe a word of the nonsense when a celebrity says “I eat whatever I want.” Pure bullshit. Remember, I work with celebrities. They live in a fantasy land.
What’s also scary (and much more important than what a celebrity chooses to do to themselves) is the effect this is having on girls.
Celebrity magazines, while pretending to sound the alarm about this issue are actually promoting it.
As concerned as I am about obesity, I am also concerned with the trend towards the super skinny look. It’s becoming more and more prevalent inManhattanwhere I see young girlsANDTHEIR MOTHERS who have become far too thin. It’s unhealthy and unsightly. Girls- do a search on Rachel Welch and Sophia Loren to see what looks sexy.
Now I hear that there are websites that actually promote this look and this lifestyle. Basically they teach young girls how to starve themselves. Here’s an article about the issue.

By becoming too skinny, you deprive your body of vital nutrients. You need fat to survive. If you lose too much weight, your vital organs will begin to malfunction and shut down. Unfortunately, this means nothing to a teenage girl. But perhaps a father will see this and help his daughter before it’s too late. Kids die from eating disorders. When you’re dead, you’re dead forever. No second chances.
Terms like anorexia and bulimia have become generic and have lost any impact. They’ve been reduced to jargon. We need to re-instill the seriousness of this issue. As catastrophic as is the obesity crisis, the flip side of this is also in need of serious attention.
