Some thoughts about body image

Our latest giveaway (for a copy of the DVD of disFIGURED) has already generated tons of interested, though I could never have guessed how touching it would be to hear how some people see themselves.

One is for me to review…

This is a movie that you might not have the chance to see in your local […]

An interview with disFIGURED writer/director Glenn Gers

“Ask and ye shall receive.”
That’s my motto.  So I asked and I received… in a wonderful way!
What did I ask?  Specifically for an interview with Glenn Gers, writer/director of the new movie disFIGURED.  It’s a movie about women and weight… and so much more.

Must be “talk about hair” days!

It’s fascinating when bloggers (who ostensibly do not know one another) start talking about the same thing, isn’t it?
In the following cases, the topic has turned to hair.  I know it’s not directly related to eating disorders, but any gal knows that her tresses (or lack thereof) can make a huge difference in terms of […]

Looking at the world through ana-colored glasses

Case in point — oftentimes, when I meet another woman, I instantly wonder: 
A.  How much she weighs.
C.  What size she wears.

Inevitably, […]
