I've just been watching "how normal are you" and it has occurred to me that she has been gradually fading away right before our very eyes for quite some time now. She is alarmingly skinny! Anyway, theres nothing like a newsreader to get your attention so i'll get on to my next point, arrhhh its skinny madness, everyone is doing it! Have you not seen Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Ritchie of late??
Go here now if not!

Its unlikely many here hold these girls up as role models, although scarily imagine now the mainly 6-9 year old girls age group who probably make up the numbers of lohans fans. What kind of message is that sending?
Not to mention how crazy all this dieting stuff is gettiing, all nw and who and the other trash mags do is publish pictures of celebrity "fat" battles, fat being in quotation marks because most often the ones they call fat are just healthy and normal.
It would appear that most stars tread the fine line between skinny and anorexia, never a normal weight.
But this isn't just restricted to "celebrities" is it? Its all around us and unfortunately the fact that Eating disorders/crazy diets/slimming and such things are obviously so rife in the entertainment buisness doesn't make it any easier for those of us women (and some men) trying to exist out here in the real world.
Although we may not have the same pressure eg to look good for the camera, somehow the images we get bombarded with make us feel shit all the same.
But i would rather be an evers swindell or christina anglem (amazing multisport athlete) anyday over those hollywood/catwalk waifs.
then why do i feel guilt over the apricot sultana choc pastie i had after dinner??????????
i hope this link works.

hey thanks to all you guys for contributing and adding stuff to this thread! Its funny because the response has been from all males- some in support and well one out of sheer hatred for Lohan, lol!! But I thought atleast some of the females here would come out and be angered at whats happening out there, how females are still succumbing to those stupid ideals set up by the media, mainly the standards of beauty set by the entertainment (tv/movies/music) and fashion industries. Anyway, kudos to all of you for replying, and i think the picture of her in her bikini probably helped out too!!!
And Jet, that giant Lohan picture took ages to download!! It was huge, she looked not so pale and sickly in that as in the pictures i posted.

she used to be so beautiful :s
but its amazing how much pressure is put on chicks, i mean even just hanging out with some of my guy mates, normal, fun guys, not bastards or anything, who start discussions about how theyd never fuck a chick who has cellulite, im amazed how ridiculous their ideals are. i know that many of them would be over the moon to get the chance to sleep with someone they deem to be 'ugly hoes', so a lot of the pressure put on us by guys is not.....true....... ok so this isnt very coherent, but meh.

Even one of the skinniest girls in our class at school had cellulite!! Good luck to those guys is all i can say, they will some work on there hands!
And as for where the pressure comes from, i mean what is said to be beautiful changes through the ages and we happen to be in the "thin is in" age, but i guess thin has more value in an age when obesity is more commonplace. Still i can't believe some guys could be so shallow.
And as for eating disorders underneath it all are mental health problems to do with low self esteem/depression ect, the thinking that its going to be better when they reach a certain weight. So in that respect it comes from ourselves?
But still, those media ideals are not in synch with the real world at all!!

i know. i was borderline anorexic for a few years, it all actually started after a girl at my school said to me that i 'could do with losing a few kgs, couldnt i?' (i was already very skinny at the time). that tie in with depression, until i finally realised that if people didnt like me for who i am, and are stupid enough to judge me based soley on my weight, or whether or not i have orangepeel thighs, then they cn go fuck themselves, coz they arent the sort of people i want to hang out with!

fuck off, bruce. if you didnt know, depression is usually due to a chemical imbalance in teh brain, and kills and is the cause of death for many nz'ers every year. one of my closest relatives keeps trying to commit suicide, so im sorry if right now i care more about her then about some starving kid i dont know!
oh, and just so you cant say i dont give a shit at all, the first thing im doing when i turn 18 in 2 weeks is sorting out my bank affairs so i can sponsor a kid.

Maniac Nymph, im glad you adopted that attitude, but still can't believe someone would say that to you!
And it is so true, the people who you do this to please are not the ones you want to waste time on anyway! But it is all stuff that gets learnt from experience isn't it!
Anyway for that person to say that is just irresponsible and downright rude! Plus these eating disorders are so harmful, you don't actually have to be underweight to suffer from them.

I just don't think you understand the gravity of this subject which is ignorance I might add.

i don't think Nicole Ritchie is too skinny, but she definitely shouldn't lose anymore weight.
and before you get irate, i was married to an anorexic for 3 years, and they were 3 years of hell.
in fact, i wager most people know someone with an eating disorder.
personally, i think Rik Okasek from The Cars is a prime candidate.
sadly, now that Nicole and paris are no longer buddies, she might not have anyone to talk to

//sadly, now that Nicole and paris are no longer buddies, she might not have anyone to talk to
I think if I was looking for someone to confide in, Paris probably wouldn't be my first choice. If I wanted to party hearty however - well, she still wouldn't be my first choice. But I wouldn't say no.

before this thread started, I had no idea who Lindsay Lohan even was.
and even now, all I know is that she's going to be in a remake of a Herbie the Love Bug film, and that they've reportedly spent $1m on CGI to reduce her breast size in the film.
the inanity.

You're not the only one. I clicked on one of these links to find one of my old flatmate's desktop staring back at me. Although apart from that, I still have no idea what films she's been in, if I've seen anything in them. I was aware, however, of Joanna's asset coveting/admiration.

I dunno. Elite athletes lead pretty freakish existences where, especially in the months leading up to a big event, they dedicate themselves wholly to their sports training and go on eating programmes as controlled as someone who's keeping her weight down to look good on TV.

//go on eating programmes as controlled as someone who's keeping her weight down to look good on TV.
But elite sportspeople will never succeed if they don't put enough into themselves to enable peak performance. Whereas you don't need incredible levels of goodness to snort coke in the back of a limo on the way to the Oscars.

Its just that they look healthy I think, but if I was to try and be like them then that would be unrealistic too, so you are right- i mean they do not exactly represent your average nzer either, same as the hollywood waifs.
