she's ugly

wtf is she wearing?

Honestly, some people are just that thin.  Sometimes the clothes, makeup, and hair seem to exaggerate a woman's weight.

And some starve themselves to be that thin. 

I was sitting in a resturant one day several years ago (when I still worked for a bank), in a mall, watching the crowd pass by outside the window.  A woman passed by who was smartly dressed in a nice black short skirt and a white spaghetti strap tank top. Nice outfit.

I could count her ribs from inside the resturant.  Bones jutting out of her skin in all directions.  Sunken eyes.  Walking skeleton. 

The man walking with her looked in good health.  I wanted to beg him to feed her.  Have my food, it's just arrived, but eat something - please!

How she managed to walk against the wind I don't know.  How she managed to STAND I don't know. It was actually scary to see someone in that condition - so scary that I can still describe her and what she was wearing several years later (and I usually can't describe people I've known for years worth a damn).

It's the lines of the shoulders.  They begin to suggest the bones beneath in places that ought not to suggest the bones beneath.

(The woman I was talking about, however, had nothing of "Suggest" for the bones underneath.  I don't know where she was storing her skeletal muscles, but they weren't obvious between the bones and the skin.)

This woman doesn't look gaunt or emaciated to me.  Just quite thin.  One thing that may make you see her as terribly starved could be the lack of a chest.  Honestly, when I look at this woman's weight, I see my own (chest included).

Being a skinny teenager and a skinny fully developed woman are often very different.  Of course, for all I know she could be 18.

The females on my dad's side of the family were all that thin until they hit menopause.  I have their same weight genes, so I'd expect to be that way, too.

Look at the model then subtract 10 pounds from her frame that the camera adds. Yes, some people are that thin, naturally. But, it still looks unhealthy.

I swear to God. She works for Coco Chanel.

I don't know her name. I'm going to find out and buy her a meal.

Shalom Harlow.

And I've spent far too  much time playing librarian to discover her weight. It is probably more than you think.

Keep in mind, a lot of magazines photoshop pictures, so what you see isn't necessarily what's really there or not.

Zombies are hot!

I like curves.  The only curve related to this woman would be a graph of her body weight over time.
