there's a poster of Mean Girls right outside my office door. Man, fuck this culture! This is not attractive, Lindsay!

comparing this photo with that poster, I can only hope she gets back to eating Fatburger and soon.

i am surprising myself at how much this is depressing me.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

It's like she's lived her whole life trying to make me feel stupid for defending her on this thread. I hoped she would turn out all stylish, like this:

we'll always have google images.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

what sucks about this is that what made her stand out is completely gone and now she's like some goddamned clone. but yes we still have Mandy Moore, I suppose.

Everybody calm down, it is not hard to put some weight back on! Have you ever tried to do it?

I would love to eat burgers with Lindsay.

thats a wicked picture nabisco. dont know why she is tryign to stretch her top though, she should have bought opne that fit!

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you sure that works, Spence? It seems to me that you are replacing good fat with bad fat.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, grilled chicken sandwiches then.

Can we talk about how sexy her voice is?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not sure I've ever heard her voice! That can't be true, can it?

(this is like totally plausibly the hottest photo of anyone ever, ever, though)

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

GO THICK 4 LIFE, LINDSAY!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

(Spencer, I didn't mean the burgers. I just meant starving and then fattening up again- doesn't that loosen up the skin folds or something?)

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

NB, John, I know pretty precisely why this kind of thing is so depressing to me. There used to be this idea that body pressures on women must have to do with ideas of attractiveness and therefore must have to do with what men wanted to see -- which was theoretically a bad thing, but was at least simple and easy to isolate and think about. Stuff like this just points out for the millionth time that it has nothing to do with anything anybody actually wants -- that these ideas about the body are weird abstract cultural constructions, these looming forces that lurk around everywhere and have nothing to do with what anybody on Earth actually thinks is a good idea. (Who would actually own this stuff?) So what we wind up seeing is someone like Lindsay becoming actively less attractive and less healthy and possibly less happy, all for the purpose of achieving something in these abstract/spiritual body-dysmorphia terms that have everything to do with weird free-floating values and nothing to do with what anybody actually wants.

Which is totally creepy! To think that we have these values floating around that are totally aribitrary, completely detached from anyone's actual desires, and completely off the leash in terms of anyone's making any effort to do anything about them. We've somehow encoded everyone with this skinny-is-good mentality even where we don't, in specific practice, believe that to be the case, and so any woman who gets looked at a reasonable amount is likely to start dedicating herself to that abstract good (and will feel better being the in-control over-thin horror than the beloved squeezy thing!), even as it has precisely the opposite effect on men and on whatever other women aren't equally-encoded enough with the same line to congratulate others just for having managed it. It'd be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

Obviously that's leaving out all the very-personal issues about control-over-life and general dysmorphia (which I think has a lot to do with youth and clinging to outdated super-youthful body-conceptions) that probably have more to do with this in general, but it all ties together.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree, nabisco. (Oh, I'm sorry - I meant to say 'Nabisco OTM!') I think it's bizarre how different body shapes go in and out of style. Like the late 80s "It's ok to look like a REAL woman!" phase or the Kate Moss phase or the Big Butts phase...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

We need all styles at once!

This is going to sound totally male-gaze and over-pervy but what the hell: Lindsay-fans saddened by this recent development may wish to switch horses and start perving instead on the lovely Allison Munn:

I saw her at Ikea once! I didn't know who she was, except Fez's psycho girlfriend from "That '70s Show"

sorry, i'm too busy reading about atom egoyan's new movie

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Kevin Bacon: "One of the things about the movie is that when we have sex, we're naked. That's what kind of flips people out, which I don't understand. Sometimes, personally, I leave some of my clothes on, but usually ... I don't know about the rest of you. It is unfortunate that people find that so disturbing. To me, I think that the sex in the movie is incredibly appropriate."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

atom egoyan's WILD THINGS TOO

I have tried to. It's not possible at all for me, though.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Ian, you've tried to put it 'back on'? Or were you always skinny?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, there is currently still no substitute for Lindsay Lohan.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Alison Lohman is pretty.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

extremely

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

So far as I can tell I have zero ability to control anything weight-related; I've tried changing my diet and exercise levels for various boring health-type reasons, and have never been able to institute any given change for any longer than 36 hours. Luckily I've weighed pretty much exactly 145 since I was like 16, and I've never seen any particular reason to try and shift that.

But so point being I think there's an element of, well, body-modification that's just inherently addictive. Like people say about tattoos and piercings and such, really: once people succeed at the actually pretty difficult task of remaking their bodies (whether it's losing weight or building muscle or whatever else), it becomes some kind of weird experimental goal to do it again, to master the body, to exert your hard-won control over it. So I suppose there's a level on which the painfully-thin actress is a lot like the grotesquely-overmuscled gym dude.

NB that's a terrible picture of Alison Munn up there -- just the first thing I spotted that demonstrated certain Lohan-improvement qualities.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Too late now, Spence. If you want it deleted you'd better give teeny a real good reason.
