SKINNY MODELS FIRED

Ok, I just posted a minute ago so read that cuz it is interesting but then I heard the craziest news! FOR FASHION WEEK IN MILAN THEY ARE BANNING ANY REALLY SKINNY MODELS!!! They are doing it to prevent eating disorders or whatever! Ridiculous. There is a reason some people are models in Milan fashion shows and some are not! grrr....it bothers me when people try to make it seem like fashion should be antyhing other than what it is...just purely enjoyable to watch fluffiness and fun....like i can watch real sized people wear clothes any day I want....

Totally! more people in the world are overweight now then malnourished. Craziness!

ok. listen. 60% of our country is overweight and/or obese. anorexia is the least of our problems right now. i mean seriously, where are these anorexic people when all i see is fat asses everywhere? (yes,including my own)

That's actually cool. I once proposed a public policy that models should have 'healthy' figures. Not saying that someone who is naturally thin should be banned, but rather to help attack these media driven eating disorders. I think it's cool someone is finally taking charge.

The Mayor of Milan has talked about but I dont think it has been decided yet.

You are the fashionista and I am not, so its very possible that I could be behind the times.

Where the too skinny models have been banned for certain is Madrid Spain.

They are turning away models whose body mass index - a measure of their weight in relation to their height - is below 18.

If it is below 18, they will be excluded and offered medical help.

I'm Suri but that is ridiculous

So in the current issue of Vanity Fair (the one with the first pictures of the cruise/holmes baby, which by the way looks soo cute in some pictures and terrifying and glasslike/fake/dead in others and deformed in others, so the verdict is out on the cuteness factor of the baby I think and why is Katie so overly happy all the time , it is so fake or drug induced but we all know Tom doesn't belive in drugs)
Anywho that was a paragraph of a rant that is not the topic of this post. The topic is another article in that issue about A FOUR SEASONS HOTEL IN THE CANOPY OF THE RAINFOREST IN THAILAND. Yes, you heard that right. Thye have these crazy tent/hotel rooms hanging from the top of the trees in thailand that al lhave porches and internet access. It is in a totally remote area. It is like being rugged but luxorious. Frankly it is still too rugged for me but it still seems crazy> Who thinks about these things. I can hear the board meeting now....

Guy #1: Well the four seasons isn't waht is used to be, we need to spruce up our image
Guy #2: You know what I"ve been thinking about? There are not enough hotels in trees.
Guy #3: Yeah, I've always thought that. It's always bothered me.
Guy #1: What about not only in trees? But in a dangerous rainforest in the middle of territory controlled by warlords and no real access to the outside world.
Guy #2: But there will be WiFi internet, right?
Guy #1: Well of course, we do have standards

WHOA I JUST HEARD WHITNEY AND BOBBI BROWN ARE GETTING DIVORCED...more info to follow soon

Betty White...in person

No, no, don't get too excited, I didn't actually see Betty White of Golden Girls/Mary Tyler Moore/short lived Ellen (the second sitcom) fame in person. But I am reading her book by that title. AND IT IS A JEM!!! I love it. I got it from (e:libertad) for my bday and I read a little bit of it before I go to bed. It is just little anecdotes about a million different tings in her life. What she thinks about fan mail, comedy, theater, televison, pets and the such. It is soo Betty White (as if i Know her! which I ink I do)! I dn't love that she loves animals so much but still I love the book and recommend it!!!!

P.S. It is kinda funny though she wrote it like in season 2 of the Golden Girls and talks about how she couldn't stand working if she didn't get along with her costars and how perfect it was how well they all get along and she couldn't imagine it any other way....yet we all know the drama between her and Bea Arthur later on...there's a reason Golden Palace is lacking one oversized manly woman in a drape!

National Slowdown?

At work today we were dead. We only filled 230 prescriptions, where a normal monday sees like at least 400 and usually like around 450. Like noone came into the store. Did anyone else notice that? Was it because of 9/11? Did people not leave their houses today or were they all at Memorials? I don't know, I just thought it was interesting!

Of Gas and Buses

First of all I almost just killed my whole family by accident. I'm on the couch talking to (e:jill) on the phone when I start to smell something. I am thinking in my head hmm what is that smell, it is so familiar and kinda obnoxious yet somehow also good and makes me kinda hungry. Them my mom screams "open the windows"...I ugess she had turned on the fire on the stove but the fire didn't go on so it was just on high leaking tons of gas. Had I been home alone I prolly would have died while tihkng "hmm what is that smell?"....maybe i need to stop killing brain cells with alcohol....

Secondly, I hate that school is back in session cuz that means school buses and that means it takes 6 hours to get down elmwood or anywhere else...I walked to school....so should everyone else
