Eat. Eat SOMETHING that isn't macrobiotic. Her interview in Marie-Claire this month is disgusting; all she talks about is how virtuously she eats and how hard she works out. I get so annoyed when eating disorders are dressed up and paraded around as self-discipline.
Besides - remember how pretty and soft-looking she used to be? Now she is all bone and hank of hair and haunted starving-orphan expression. Oh, and ugly-ass Balenciaga boots. Those, too.

But for the love of, when can we just say STOP IT HOLLYWOOD - we are not interested in this ideal that you are killing your actresses with. We are not ok with it. WHY is that wrong?
12/09/08
Yeah... telling somebody to "EAT" probably doesn't work, but maybe this new brilliant tact of calling them out on ugly boots will do the trick...

Then don't support her/hollywood with your dollars. Don't watch her movies... etc.
I saw the clip still and I thought she looked hot, thought the clip was funny, read through comments and saw the other pic - which did not look attractive at all.
But with all that said, I think she's attractive and a lot of other people do - thats why she gets paid what she does.
It's not fair - but she has to do what she has to do to stay competitive.

And "eat" *is* a solution to an eating disorder, just as "stop taking drugs" is a solution to a drug addiction. The fact that there are underlying reasons for the addictions doesn't change the fact that a specific behavior (ie: eating or not taking drugs) will cure the disorder/addiciton.
Flame on, people. I work with addicts.

I agree that the "She needs a cheeseburger" posts aren't funny, they add nothing (I'll entirely skip the idea that they're helpful or hurtful personally to the "Snap-ee.") But the posts aren't always that extreme. Sometimes they are pointing out the obvious.
We're encouraging women to fucking HURT themselves when we condone this shit, and that is girl-on-girl crime.

I don't understand why anyone would or should accept/condone what the media is giving us in the form of emaciated actresses, then decry the rape-y D&G ads in the same breath.
Because we're being sold a package in both cases, and I do not understand why one is less harmful than the other.

Part of this involves talking to these women directly about the fact that they are too thin. It's slightly more complex than that, but telling women "You're too skinny" actually is a part of CBT. Telling addicts they're out of control is another aspect of CBT.
Something that really irks me about Jezebel is this bizarre approach/avoidance attitude it has toward weight. Jezzie "labeled" is right; a lot of the posts here (particularly the reprints of Vogue spreads and many of the Snap Judgements) are extremely triggering for women who struggle with EDs. On the other hand, your readers are expected to ignore the fact that a majority of celebrities are dangerously thin. Then on another day y'all might post a thing about fat acceptance or something. It's all very schizo.
But then, I guess the attitude toward the female form in this culture can be summed up with that one word: SCHIZO. You're fat if you do and 'rexy if you don't, and you're always ten pounds too wrong in one direction or other.
I'm speaking out of pure frustration here, you know. It's incredibly disheartening to see bright young women destroy themselves with meth or misguided willpower just to look like, well, Jennifer Connelly.
I know she's not the problem, but she isn't helping things, either.

It is an unfortunate, sad & odd reality.

So full of win I can barely stand it.

ps why on earth did that silence that? Pussy is neither a bad word or really scary at 11:30 at night. How stupid.

@Dodai: Aww, make it happen! I'll help any way I can!
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: That is infinitely truer than saying that Everyone Loves Raymond.

You know how you if your PC fucks up, you can restart it to the last time it was working properly? We need to do that and go back to pre-Jennifer Connelly Monday.

I would like to say that, in 11th grade, I rode to school every day in a Geo Tracker with my extremely nerdy neighbor. Pussy magnet, indeed.

My husband got it for me. Should I be concerned?
