In Hollywood, "thin has always been in" but lately fashion models and celebrities have been under fire for being too thin, almost transparent if you will. Soprano's star, Jaime-Lynn DiScala, mega-bucks Mary Kate Olsen, reality TV star Nichole Richie all have one thing in common; a gag reflex that seems to be working a bit too well.
Are these overly-lean ladies really starving for attention? Does Mary Kate really aspire to be the same weight when she was on Full House...as a toddler? (Bob Saget will make anyone lose their appetite) Is it Jaime- Lynn's dream to play a skinny Italian in a cast full of fat one's? And what's with all these bikini shots of Nichole Richie in the dead of winter? The only thing she's been diving into lately is a pool of her own vomit. The paparazzi should focus on the War on Terror because their overlooking the fierce battle fought by these female warriors; the War on Hunger. Overseas.
Food For Thought?
For every ham sandwich Nichole Richie refuses, (and that's seven or eight shoved in her bony face on a daily basis) that amounts to about 672 pounds of pork per year. And for every bucket of buttered popcorn Mary Kate declines at a Popstar Magazine press juncket, that's 12,387 kernels of corn airdropped in Africa! Each time Jaime Lynn turns up her nose at a backyard BBQ, that's 4,696 chicken wings feeding over 3 million malnourished children a year. Thats a lot of chicken.When you are on the set of a Hollywood blockbuster or backstage during Fashion Week, there's a reason all these skinny lollipop heads are saying Woa at the craft services table. WOA is an acronym for World Overpopulation Awareness and everyone knows the more unhealthy the diet the more infertile the egg. So I say, thank you, Calista Flockhart for not spreading your seed and to the many emaciated starlets who are making sure our population doesn't bubble to 500 million. I tip my hat to you.
And I say to the Council of Fashion Designers of America, led by the talented Diane Von Furstenberg (whose wrap dresses were designed for figure of a 10 year old girl scout) and their global mission to stop using dangerously thin models, these snooty designers are too blind to notice that these lollipop heads have their own mission in mind: to fight a world cause by starving themselves. Seems like a pretty selfless act to me.
Sadly, the media has these skeletal Hollywood hero's under fire for way too long. They may want to savce their bullets for those blubbery babes on Broadway .
