and I said what about breakfast at tiffanys... No thanks, I don't eat anymore.
On Sunday at dinner I told Drew, 'I think you look a little too skinny'You could see her face light up as if it was the ultimate compliment.
She told me that her grandmother asked her if a boy has bought her something from Tiffany's yet. She responded, 'no not yet.' Her grandmother said, 'its good that you lost a little weight, now they will.'
sick!sad!
wrong!
this is what she looked like before she lost some weight.
what is wrong with that grandmother!
what is wrong with the world!
do you have to be emaciated to be special enough for your boyfriend to buy you something from Tiffany & Co.?
why is she wearing my shirt !

I don't think she needs to lose weight. She looks fine.
i love that movie! i'm not a fan of that dumbass gramma! i wonder if she knows about her suicide girls pics! i wonder what gramma would think you get for that? a new car? haha
anywhoo...i hate how ingrained these messages are, though what can you expect from a $30 billion a year diet industry that isn't working. gotta keep sales up even if the sh*t don't work! the fact that nearly 1/3 of all 4th graders are dieting should be a bit of a wake up call that things have gone too far. i think they should have exercise/gym homework that kids have to do with parents or something! and stop this nonsense that makes people afraid of food and so freakin confused and overwhelmed by whats good and whats bad - all according to the latest scientific or corporate study. ugh. aiight, i know people say i talk too much so ill stop haha
ps - shes wearing your shirt cuz ur sis and her friends are all clepto's haha
they sell unsweetened soy milk too. I buy Silk.
that is drew after she lost weight!! in highschool she was definately not skinny. not fat, but not skinny. now she is thinner than she was in that picture but she still isn't disgustingly skinny, she jsut looks like a normal skinny person you would see and not think anything about. you just think she looks too thin because you remember her before she lost weight. she has always been on the verge of having an eating disorder but never actually went that far.
Have you seen "light" orange juice -- half the calories? As far as I can tell, it's just watered down orange juice. Same price, though. Those companies are geniuses.
A lot of women are like the grandmother -- guys are just a business arrangement where you the guy gets good looks (and sex) and the girl gets jewelry and taken care of. What idiot would decide whether to buy at Tiffany's based on a woman's looks? Only a shallow guy, the kind of guy that a girl who just wants Tiffany presents deserves.
I think she's beautiful.
But expensive gifts should not contribute to a person's worth.
I think it's a matter of personal preference with guys. Some like women who are bigger, some prefer woman who are medium and some like woman who are thin. I happen to be physically attracted to women who are on the thinner side, in shape and tone. But I'm not going to buy something from Tiffany's based on her size and shape. I'll buy her things because I care about her and I want to make her happy.
i agree with what Noam says in that there are some people who only look at what things cost, not what the meaning is behind it. yes, it would be nice to get something from there (tho i'd be afraid to wear that thing cuz i'd get jacked in about 10 seconds in bmore haha), but at the same time, if i got it from someone who only got it from me b/c i was "their woman" but there wasn't a real connection ... ehh. i dunno. tho hell, i ain't doin good on the whole relationship thing, maybe i should just find a sugar daddy and say forget this love bullsh*t! :-p
any sugar daddys out there contact me at bigboobchik@diamonds-equal-love.com! LOL sike
the point of the blog entry was not that all men should buy all women expensive gifts from Tiffanys. And, as V said, if they do, it certainly should NOT be based on their looks, but on how you feel about someone, and wanting to buy them something nice or make them happy because you love them. So calm down, Noam, because I know you have one foot in the poorhouse and at this rate will never be shopping at Tiffanys. The point was that girls are being taught, not only by marketing tactics but by their own families, that you have to be emaciated to be loved and appreciated. Thats one reason why there are so many people who hate themselves and will never be comfortable in their own skin, or feel good enough. And i'm not just talking about overweight people, look at all of the skinny celebrities who develop eating disorders.
Beyond that, i think any decent person can agree that when it comes to gifts, an expensive gift without caring is nothing compared to an inexpensive gift bought with love, and furthermore caring at all about the expensiveness of a gift is shallow, blah blah blah etc. All of that is self evident.
Shirley,
while i appreciate you getting on your high-horse about society "sending wrong messages" i think you forgot that
a) I TOLD the story about my grandmother as a joke, so I obviously knew it was ridiculous. There has never been anything in my brain going diet=Tiffanys.
b) When you mentioned I looked skinny, Ariella and I made a joke about how all I hear is the word skinny, but it was obviously said in jest. I told you I had been sick and thats why I've dropped a couple pounds. And that's really the reason why. No Lohan dieting for me!
c) I have never been more comftorable at my weight than I am now. For the first time, I'm not bugging people "do I look fat in this?" I don't have an eating disorder and Im not anorexic. Your worried about me when your own brother is on a self-made "prison diet"?
d) That picture of me is from AFTER I lost the majority of weight I had in high school. So I've lost maybe.....five pounds since this picture was taken.

My roommate wants to find a rich guy. Love isn't the main point, she mostly wants a certain lifestyle, someone to take care of her. If he cheats on her, she says, she's ok with that -- she can cheat on him too. A lot of people are not romantic, it's a contractual thing. That's not to say it isn't nice to get jewelry as a present -- but as a token of love, not as a way of buying good looks.
