Do Not Try This at Home

Skinny Lady — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:54:47 +0000

Ever heard anyone say that if you want to lose weight, you should take a picture of yourself naked and stick it on the refrigerator? Well, for the first time ever I took a picture of myself naked. Not because I wanted to stick it on the fridge, but because I had actually convinced myself that I probably look better naked than I give myself credit for when I look in the mirror and I figured the camera might provide me with a more objective image. NOPE. So please, people, let my poor judgment serve as an example to you all. Do not try this shit at home.

Skinny Fashion Tip #19: Throw Out Your Uggs

Skinny Lady — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:03:33 +0000

Uggs are quite likely the least flattering fashion trend ever and yet, nearly a decade past their prime, I see the ugly beasts everywhere I turn. So this is a note to all the bitches who still think Uggs are cool: They make your legs look fat. That’s right, skinny girls. Uggs make you look like you’ve got cankles. And if you’re legs are already thick, then you’re just making a bad situation worse. I say better to go fucking barefoot.

Common Courtesy

Please, people, please make sure to flush twice after you drop a load in a public bathroom. I’m not trying to be crude. It’s just that floaters can totally ruin someone’s day, particularly if that someone happens to be the jealous, starving type in need of a serious bowel movement or twelve.

DKNY Can Kiss My Ass

In honor of Valentine’s day, Skinny Man took me shopping for a new bra and panty set. Sounds sweet, right? WRONG. Not because of anything Skinny Man did, but because I had to buy the panty in a size large. Um, if this ↓ is a size large…

…then what the fuck is THIS?

We like to consider ourselves anarchists, but sometimes the U.S. Government deserves a pat on the back:

Dear Everyone,

It’s me, Emaciated Lady. I’m so grateful for Skinny, who’s been covering for me in my absence, and I apologize to those who depend on us for a daily dose of cynicism. But I promise you, there’s nothing scarier than a fat anorexic and you’ll thank me someday for keeping my distance. Skinny Lady outed me today and now that you all know I started smoking again, I’m confident that I’ll get skinny in no time and help be your inspiration. In 38 days, Skinny is going to be by my side and I need to impress her with a wardrobe that doesn’t include spandex. Skinny, this is for you.

Oh also, most of my blogging inspiration comes from my ridiculously obese coworker and I feel guilty writing about her because she’s a kind person. And I don’t want to get fired for being a mean bitch.

Kindest Regards,
Emaciated (not so much) Lady

For God’s Sake

Nothing is more challenging than trying to starve yourself in the face of a bunch of fat, perpetually hungry coworkers. But I need to be able to fit into my jeans before my visit to Emaciated Lady in March, which means I’ve had no choice save to bring my starvation out into the open at work and dare a mother fucker to ask me to lunch.

Meanwhile on the opposite end of the country, Emaciated Lady has fallen back on her old faithful: cigarettes. Why? Here’s what she says:

My weight gain was directly correlated to my quitting smoking and I need to get back on the skinny track or else I’ll find other ways to kill myself. Plus everybody needs a vice, right? And because I know I’m going to try and have a baby next year, I don’t have many days of smoking ahead of me.

Dear Emaciated Lady, don’t you know that cigs + pregnancy = low birth weight? Do yourself and your unborn child a favor and smoke for God’s sake.

On My Way to Sainthood

Today is trim the tree day at work. Because I’m all about equality, peace and brotherhood in the workplace, I’m going to propose that we change it to trim the fat day – that way the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and atheists can participate. And what’s more, we can nix the pizza and eat carrot sticks instead. I know, I’m virtually a saint.

Making the World a Prettier Place

I did it! I convinced a fat coworker to add Gillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred to her Netflix Queue. I feel like fucking Santa Claus.

On the Street

Skinny Lady — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:55:09 +0000

As I was walking home from the mall today, shopping bags draped from my arm and the word “sucker” apparently tattooed on my forehead, an older gentleman stopped me to ask a question. Let me briefly describe the scene:

It’s windy and dreary outside, the lingering effects of the Nor’easter that swept through the area over the past two days. The man is holding a styrofoam plate in one hand, on top of which are three bare chicken bones and a piece of white bread, and beneath which are two boxes of Krispy Kreme chocolate glazed donuts. In the other hand, which happens to be speckled with pieces of chicken fat, he is holding a drumstick and is intermittently nibbling it as he asks his question.

But before getting to the question, which is obvious before the asking, he explains that he’s homeless and hungry and this recent storm has felt like another Hurricane Katrina. I knew he was throwing that last bit in for good measure, and I’m not unappreciative of such things. To show my compassion, I opened my wallet and dumped in his hand every last penny I had, which probably totaled about 78 cents. Then I kicked him in the shins and ran off with his Krispy Kreme donuts because I’m fucking hungry too.
