Thin as Fuck

I’m lazily reposting part of an AMAZING blog post on The Awl making fun of the letters to the editor that are printed in women’s magazines. The writer, who is my friend’s friend (omg it’s like I’m famous!) posts real letters and then writes her own fake satire ones.

Diet Dilemmas Solved
I am appalled by “Wellness Diaries” [Fall Makeover 2009]. The diets are anything but healthy. Isn’t it bad enough that society glorifies women who are underweight? It is unrealistic to adhere to a diet like Ji Baek’s, which consists of champagne and one meal a day.

You know who my diet icon is? A daddy long legs spider. Fucking thin as fuck. Are you fat dumps jealous? You should be, you lard fucks. You guys, I’m so skinny I look like thread. Like a fucking string of thread, you assholes. You could use me to sew up your assholes if you wanted, I’m such a fucking slender queen. Fuck, you guys, I’m so skinny I look like what someone who died a few years ago would look like if you dug up their bones, you fat whales, you fat monster beasts. Oh my God, you guys don’t even know.
