[supermodel]

genetic inbreeding
in a specimen
so fine
she walks ten feet
tall
and half a foot
narrower
than what
we should
call ugly.




this one just came out all at once one day.  don't ask me where it came from, but here it is.  i haven't even touched it, so it's entirely raw.  tell me what you think.

so foul and fair a day i have not seen.  - macbeth act 1, scene 3

Hmm..ok I happen to like supermodels and think their thiness is actually quite attractive but that's just me.  
It's good to see you describing them though in a light that's superficial.

Thanks for the read. Can't wait to see more.

Why is it that excessive thinness is often referred to as beauty yet even the slightest bit of heaviness or overweight is ugly or revolting?

i don't hate tall and thin girls, i just don't like supermodels [and the photographers, clothing designers, critics, agents, etc] who ruin the lives of innocent average girls with low self esteem.

it plays a key role in the development of eating disorders.  how some people can find it attractive when you can see every single bone pop out is beyond my comprehension.
