we thrive on skinny bitches.

i was the most laziest person today. well, i did get up today around my usual time but decided to go back to bed. so i guess that didn't really count. i eventually made it up before noon.. though barely.. i watched a lil tv this afternoon.. i watched lidia bastianich make caponata and joe, her son, sear some tuna steaks. she made cooking eggplant look like it was no big deal. which it isn't i suppose but i still have yet to make it.. i've been wanting to for a while now and even bought one a couple o days ago to pressure myself into cooking it, but in my fridge it still awaits a hot pan and digestion. then i watched a bit of project runway which i've never seen before. i kinda got into the fashion part.. seeing what people can do in terms of making clothes.. it prolly was the season finale because the whole show was basically a fashion show of the three finalists' designs. then at the end they chose the winner. in any case, it reminded me about wanting to get a sewing machine. what was off-putting though was how much of a knock off it is of the show top chef. i think that was bravo's first reality/contest show.. and those two aren't even the only ones on bravo's lineup. they delved into some hair styling contest and some interior design one too. what i like though is how art/design is being appreciated in the media.. what i didn't like about the episode/fashion show of course though were the sooper tall models. i don't keep up with fashion shows much.. or at all really...i am actually though interested in seeing one in the flesh.. but.. when will the day come when we have respected fashion shows with women of all sizes? ..as is reflected by the real world. .now, in my opinion, there are two types of fashion. one that exhibits clothes that are totally forms of art, that no one would be caught dead in walking down the street. and then there's the type of fashion that people could feasibly wear.. in the world. maybe they should reserve the gaunt giants to the former type of fashion shows and allot more variety to the latter.. i mean, wouldn't it be a more interesting challenge to make a diverse group of 'average'-looking people look good/well-fitted than a homogenized, unrealistic one? i know this is not a new topic but c'mon heidi. u wanna make a difference?. use your power/status and make one.. in other news, shocking headlines that women in hollywood are too thin! gasp. apparently there's a size double zero? and sizes on sets range from zero to two-- two for the heavier-sized actresses. and the new cast of 90210 are dropping weight on practically a weekly basis. ..this was all on et today.. stupid. meanwhile the announcing voice exclaims all of this info in a rather excited voice. woohoo. we've got news to share, news you'll be o so shocked to hear so will tune in, news that'll get advertisers to endorse our show and from which we can profit.. skinny girls, perpetuating unrealistic ideals and reeling in the cash.. i knew they were good for something.. ummm.. hmmm.. how the hell did i get on this topic?.. uhhh.. then i saw martin yan guest appear on one of tyler florence's shows. it looked like one of his older shows.. he was doing an episode on dim sum treats including dumplings.. it's interesting when u see/watch something then it makes u want it too. ohmmm.. putting skinny-tall out of mind/ideal.. dumplings though are ok.. so.. later [just now actually] i let the mini-hankering for dumplings get to me. i can make them but sometimes i just get in the mood to eat other people's food.. today was one of those times.. damn consumerist within.. so. i went out to go get some. i got half steamed, half fried. they were pretty good actually. satisfying. ..when i asked the woman if it was made with msg she gave me a funny look. i'm not really sure why, to some extent. i mean, maybe it was an 'intrusive[?]' question but c'mon now. consumerists have the right to know what they're consuming, duh, especially if they're paying way more than whatever it's worth.. in this thrifty-spender's/don't-care-2-eat-msg's opinion.. and so now, here i am. not really tired since i got up so late and did nothing.. other than have an opinion.. or2. hmm. tomorrow's gonna be a long day..
