Bulimic I'd Bet - 26/09/2001

Mannequins, models and seamstress dolls
only serve to raise her indignant hackles.
"Stick insects alone could wear what they do.
A real woman with hips and boobs and an arse
has no place in this world of bones and perfect skin."

Fourteen-year-old waifs advertise lotions and potions,
and bikinis and ever so skimpy casual fashion,
and she takes it as a rebuke to her womanhood.
Provoking endless tirades on eating disorders,
and age, and their money hungry parents.

I am careful not to look too hard at the TV,
nor cast an opinion that be construed either way.
For as much as I love my buxom beauty
I can't help but look at the sparsely clothed
women on screen, after all I'm only a man.
