Yep, anorexic teens everywhere you look, these days... ;)

What looks good on TV doesn't necessarily look good in person, and vice versa. Whenever I've seen television personalities in the flesh, they look like stick figures, but they look fine on the screen. Normal, slim women tend to look fat on TV, so these actresses feel they need to go to an unhealthy extreme to look good. But I certainly haven't seen any evidence they are inspiring any dieting trends among young girls - trips to the mall tend to look like the picture above.

Don't they say the camera adds ten pounds?
