fucking tabloids and the thin Circus Ridiculous

Who can remember the 1970s? D, if you're out there and you happen to read this, I know you do. ;) "Everyone" was thin when I was growing up. Thin was the cultural norm. Seeing bones was the cultural norm. Not because people were unhealthy, but because that's how the body looks.

No one ever commented that Debbie Harry was too thin.


Or that Annie Lennox had gone mad with anorexia nervosa.


Or that Cheryl Tiegs should get help with her weight issue.


BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN ISSUE TO BE THIN. IT'S NOT AN ISSUE IF YOUR BONES ARE VISIBLE. THEY FREAKING SHOULD BE IF YOU'RE HEALTHY.

Nearly every magazine in the grocery store check out isle has headlines about so and so's weight. Bloody hell. I'm too tired to rant.
