Conde Nast Conspiracy: It Goes Deeper Than You Think
Two email follow-ups this afternoon on the question of a potential nexus of eating disorders and "skinny mirrors" within 4 Times Square.
First this, confirming the general idea:
As an ex-Conde Nasty, I too once confidently starved myself in the 4th Floor Cafeteria as I felt more and more "Nicole/Lindsay" after each look in those bathroom mirrors. Not only did they make me look skinnier (at 15 lbs. heavier than I am now), but they also gave me a nice tan glow. VERY strange. You are not insane.
Then came this, adding another wrinkle:
I can't comment on the skinny mirrors because like 99.9% of the people at the square, I fall well within the encouraged weight demographic so I wouldn't notice. However, one thing I found hilarious was a notice posted in a CN Kitchen announcing the desire by a few (unnamed individuals) to start an Overeaters Anonymous group. I laughed so hard I almost puked up the cherry tomato I had had for lunch. What? Are they going to eat 3 sticks of celery each day instead of 5?
To be fair, though, five celery sticks is kind of a lot, fatty.
