Haunting MiaElla. You captured this in a string of words that leave the truth open and bearable. Great work!

Thanks Angie and Gina,

I'm 5'7 and 130lbs and people sometimes comment on how I could stand to lose a little weight - and I'm like why? - if I'm hungry I'm going to eat. Eating is not a luxury it's a necessity...lol.

When entire television networks are dedicated

to appearences rather than depth of humanity, your commentary is a very timely, very needed statement. You made a solid point...skinny is not healthy; fashion is unimportant. This is great work, Mia! Love, Gina

i liked the first two verses a lot -- I thought it was actually about Kate Moss herself and the other models. The last verse was I thought kinda preachy. tg
