confession: sometimes I cry, too.
Jul. 6th, 2006 11:17 amI am no longer in love with Keira Knightley.
Those recent photos make me want to scream and shove cheeseburgers at her.
I am, however, still in love with Scarlett Johansson and Kate Winslet -- two women whom Ms. Knightley named as being her role models.
If that is so, sweet Keira... why aren't you eating? There is a huge, huge difference between being skinny and being skeletal. Yes, they both start with the same two letters, but that's it.
She says, "I'm not anorexic. I'm sure I'm not." In the same breath she says that she has a family history of the disease.
When I was sick, I was in denial for years and years. I understand. I sympathize. No, no, no, I'm not, never. Yet watch me pick carefully at my food and then throw it away. Watch me get so thin that it made my best friend want to cry. Watch me get so weak that my lover told me I was dying.
I don't know if Keira Knightley is anorexic. She looks it. She looks like she has not eaten -- or exercised -- in weeks. If she is, I hope she gets help. If not, then I want to see a paparazzi shot of her eating a bowl of macaroni and cheese. The whole thing.
For lunch I want a cheeseburger with mushrooms and guacamole.
They tell me I'm still not eating enough.
They want me to eat more.
See? It's hard to tell in our own heads.
