Someone somewhere else commented on the skinniness of the girls in the cast, that he was afraid they might break every time another character touched them. Sigh. The undergrads have come back to campus, and I see these super-fragile looking girls in tiny shorts everywhere, with legs that look like toothpicks. Then I turn on my TV and see more of them. It's an awful cycle. The premiere was way over the top (a "Pretty Woman" jet to SF date? Seriously?), but the premiere of the original was over the top for its time as well, then it toned down and made the characters a wee bit more real. Maybe the new one will do the same. Somehow I don't think we'll see a "horrors of diet pills and recovery by ice cream with popcorn and slumber party" episode in this incarnation, though. Sad.

I thought that acting was a profession and you have to know it and do it well not "look good" for it. Also it sends a really sad message to the older adults that in order to mean something they also have to be skinny. When we know that you gain weight for your health as you get older.

Gotta love high waists and baggy pants! :) Seriously, though, your post was right-on. And another blast from the past . . . Sweet Valley High books are back and revamped. Elizabeth and Jessica, the former perfect-size-6 twins? Now they are a "perfect size 4." Vanity sizing. But what a sad commentary on how young girls are forced to idealize THIN. Have the Dove commercials done NOTHING?!?! www.barefootinhighheels.wordpress.com I wonder what Stacy and Clinton of “What Not To Wear” would say about the old cast photo!

I wanted to very much to write something, but couldn't find the words withing myself to do so. I don't even feel like that picture illustrates how incredibly thin the cast was, because actually watching the show, I found was an experience I'm not sur eI want to repeat.

I'd also like to note how much less clothing is on the new cast's women than on the old cast. There's so much about all of this that's wrong, wrong, wrong.
