But did you know that anorexia, bulimia and amphetamines are outdated now. The newer means is tapeworm implants, they allow you to eat normally and stay thin without the people around you noticing anything.

... and it's dangerous, because these worms can spread all over

the body and settle within muscles, liver, lung, kidneys and so on ...

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't that the Maria Callas method?

Well, making oneself suffer for the sake of "Beauty" is probably as old as humanity, and I don't see much difference between said methods, or men swallowing steroids, or medieval women plucking their hair above forehead, or Chinese foot binding tradition - it's all the same old story: instead of using harmless and pleasant methods to boost and express ones unique self through appearance, some people choose to do harm to their own bodies and fight with their own selves, for various reasons.

In my eyes on this world you are either skinny because you have an illness and worms in your body is an illness as is the illness that comes from being skin 'n bones. it eats at the brain really more the body but the body is the effect of the illness...

anything done in the name of beauty that is harmful to your sound mind is evil and should be stayed away from! the outside world has nothing to say about your own life or what the outside expects of you.

always think logically. anything you put into your body will have effects if abused or tampered with. being a good loving sexy person is in the mind of the eye, very TSOM theme and what anyone else thinks, says or reacts is THEIR own opinon. don't ever in your life, let the outside world be the order of what you do or how you live. you have an indiviual right and expressing that to the outside world is what makes you the stronger person if you stand behind what you feel or want to put out there. don't ever kid yourself that life is easy because that's the biggest bollox ever said and keeping your body strong, will keep the mind and the soul for those that believe in that, strong. it's a building stone this life and we build and build but not bricks, the mind and body and soul...

f**k the outside world human beings, your energy goes so much further than just here and please believe that.

poor Sisters: I've been used and abused...
comes true...

the best team won

fortunately.

Shouldn't they have used Amphetamine Logic instead of Temple of Love then?

It's the opposite way around, I think, because tapeworms were used to diet around the WW1 era if it's not just a hoax and to my knowledge amphetamine use wasn't widespread until around WW2 at least. (it was popularized as prescription for military pilots flying at night)

God I didn't even know that.
But yeah, it's an old story, corsets hardly allowing to breathe and the removal of lower ribs are also old methods still in use.

Nah, the rib removal thing's an urban legend too.
