Uruguayan model dies on the catwalk

A few days back there was talk about whether Miss Universe's fainting spell after her coronation wasn't due to a lack of food. Apparently, that speculation isn't that far off the mark, as a model in Uruguay has apparently died on the catwalk after having starved herself for several days:

A young Uruguayan model died of heart failure while participating in a fashion show during Fashion Week in Montevideo (Uruguay), according to officials at the hotel where the show was held.
22 year-old Luisel Ramos felt ill after walking the catwalk, fainted on her way to the dressing room and died in spite of the medical attention she received from a mobile hospital unit, sources told EFE.
The doctors who treated her diagnosed her with heart failure.

The young woman's father told police that the model had gone several days without eating.

In Uruguay's close neighbor, Argentina, more and more women struggling with body obsession. The United States leads the world in deaths caused by eating disorders, followed by Japan and Germany.

Link.

Duuude, that's mental.

Hahaha, I need to show Michele that. She's speculating that I'm anorexic, which is pretty funny considering the fact that I stuff my face at home.

But anyway, even if I am/am not anorexic, one thing's for sure : I'm on my way to bonkersville.

Somehow, the image of Andro Being talking to me, her/his/its voice, her/his/its teeth, her/his/its H.I.M shirt, her/his/its brown eyes.. they're all playing on repeat mode in my head. And I want it all to fucking stop because my thinking of my futile attempt to strike a conversation only makes me feel like shite.

I'm crazy penniless. I'd love to join the gang in their little ice-skating and Hooters outing tomorrow but I'm a pauper now. I could take out money from my ickle bank account but I'll only feel guilty because to put it simply, I've been spending money as if my Mother prints money.

My head is spinning because there's a nasty, nasty pong lingering in my room. Tip of the day : Don't ever mix three separate perfumes at one go.

I'm probably going to spend my Monday night watching the L word & Team America : World Police.
