But, as we start to see consequences (eating-disordered women who first plunged due to, among other things, repeated exposure to fashion magazines), it becomes a bit more entagled. I'm not saying it's the media's fault, however, or that censorship is the answer--I think it's just important to be aware. <BR/><BR/>You're right--25 pounds on her sub-five-foot frame is pretty obvious.drstaceynyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698974154886393241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-1153724646837658772006-07-24T03:04:00.000-04:002006-07-24T03:04:00.000-04:00Dr. Stacey, although I'm not sure I would welcome ...Dr. Stacey, although I'm not sure I would welcome Li'l Kim as a sister in the struggle (there are some deeper issues there in terms of why and at whose behest she perjured herself, IMO), and although I know she is very aware of the power to manipulate the media with *ahem* feminine charms, I'm not sure it was her choice to place the media focus on the weight she gained.<BR/><BR/>IMO, the larger media decided to focus on that by themselves, because it's the least ethically tangled of the all the issues in that mess. I believe the larger media sees it as a simplistic focus for the public's attention. (Although sometimes I'm cynical like that.)<BR/><BR/>I too was surprised about dessert, though. :D<BR/><BR/>(Of course, if you eat cookies <I>every night</I> for dessert, and don't work out to adjust your metabolism accordingly, my bet is that you're going to get a little bigger, and I can't imagine that the prison would accommodate an adjusted exercise schedule. Plus, she's tiny, so 25 pounds is going to show up on her immediately, in contrast to the time they would take to show up on, say, Tyra Banks.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-1153412821592008722006-07-20T12:27:00.000-04:002006-07-20T12:27:00.000-04:00Hi, Donna--thanks for checking this out. . . .Hi, Donna--thanks for checking this out. . . .drstaceynyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698974154886393241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-1153342942730262452006-07-19T17:02:00.000-04:002006-07-19T17:02:00.000-04:00Foun your blog through another's a few days ago, a...Foun your blog through another's a few days ago, and have been reading ever since. <BR/><BR/>This last entry made me chuckle; it never ceases to surprise me what the media thinks is BIG news.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531066471698015279noreply@blogger.com
