Ally McBeal in Belsen

I saw some disgusting pictures yesterday. They were of women and so heinous that I began to feel sick. You see, I was in line at the grocery store and decided to flip through one of those stupid papers they have at the check-outs of grocery stores. And it wasn't a good one like the Weekly World News either - like Star or something similar. Anyway, there was an article on the weights of various actresses including Calista Flockhart and Lara Flynn Boyle. It showed picture of these 2 women in which they looked almost completely emaciated, like they were adjusting their weights for roles in a movie about the Holocaust or something. They were all boney and scraggly and just disgusting. What the hell were these women thinking? Where were friends and family during their declines to 96 pounds? Christ, the cinematographer and the make-up artist can only do so much to make you not look like death on 2 legs. Sheesh! How many wardrobe ladies have size 0 outifts at their disposal? You'd need the computer animators from the Lord of the Rings movies to make Flockhart and Boyle not look like Golem. Here's a couple pictures of the former Twin Peaks honey. Christ, I even found an article which stated that casting directors are avoiding her because of her weight, or lack thereof. Now, when you're a woman and you can't land a gig because you're too thin, you know you're shit's fucked up.

And who are these guys that find this Auschwitz chic attractive? Don't these women's boyfriends get scared of breaking them in half?
