This is why I don’t buy magazines.

But I *am* glad my landlady has a subscription to People that gets delivered here… Guilty!

First of all, I’m super glad I renewed this domain for 3 years only to realize that I’m mainly interested in discussing crass things. One day when I’m a doctor and my future patients google me to see if I’m legit they will see my blog posts from 3 years ago that outline in detail what a piece of shit I was/aspired to be. Great. If anyone knows how to make my shit on Twitter/FB/larbage unsearchable, please tell me how. For the health of humanity! Remember that sucking a billion dicks at the rate of ten dicks per minute tweet? Google does.

Seriously though now, in all seriousness, I am really sick of seeing skinny bitches everywhere. I’m not talking about toned, lean, or thin women. They are great. I’m talking about walking skeletons. Pardon my insensitivity to anorexics, but for the love of god eat something. It is Fashion Week in New York and all I see everywhere is women who will die by the time they are 35 unless they eat something. And probably stop smoking also, or doing blow. I am from this moment forward refusing to buy fashion magazines. This pains me greatly because left to my own devices I have no idea how to assemble an outfit that is not a one-tone sweatsuit. But I cannot participate in any sort of perpetuation of the idea that “model” women look like they would fall over and break their matchstick limbs if I were to flick them. The look is weak, literally. I want designers and stylists, and whoever the fuck picks men and women to be models on runways and in magazines and catalogs and wherever else, to start using athletes. I want to see healthy bodies. I’m sure athletes will continue to fuel a whole host of body dismorphic disorders but at least we will be looking at people who engage in healthy behaviors, who are inspiring ideals and who do not look like they are about to die. Big thighs, big asses, people. Bless Nike for showing me these things. Thank god someone’s doing it.

    I watched a documentary about how they pose women for fashion ads. Basically they make them look like they could fall over easily, or they’re about to fall over, or they’ve just fallen down.
    I guess the goal is making them look really easy to force sex on. Hot!
