Hello everyone and welcome to New York Fashion Week. Today we feature an exciting new designer who goes by the name Anorexia. She’s been a part of the fashion industry for decades but has experienced an exciting rise in popularity over the last few years. Frankly Anorexia’s all the rage.
So sit back and enjoy her latest efforts: The Holocaust Collection.
First up is this sexy bathing suit made of woven hair and spliced molars.
Next we have the bed sheet wrap and – cute shoes! What a clever repurposing of rope tether, Anorexia – brava!
Next is this little number for the boudoir. The silky fabric will make you slip right off your barrack bunk!
And here we have the chic umbrella dress. The perfect ensemble to accompany you into the showers. Oops – that’s not water coming out of those pipes! Lighten up, folks. Just a little New York Fashion Week humor.
Next up is our flirty cocktail dress. This is the length this year, you fashionistas! Not quite a mini, but short enough to show off your hobbled knees.
And last but not least we have this cute little jumper accentuated with
hand-stitched silver fillings.
Sir? Can you sit down in front, sir? I assure you the model will be fine. In fact she just whispered to the stage crew, “I’m so hungry I could eat half a sandwich!”
Jill says
September 14, 2007 at 8:30 amOh my god, this is so funny. You are a brilliant writer.
I love the hobbled knees comment….
The Domestic Goddess says
September 14, 2007 at 8:31 amOr a cancer patient.
Seriously, they look so gross. I don’t’ think they realize it. I am not usually into the “People Magazine” scene, but I cannot help looking at pics of formerly-voluptuous models and actresses that now look like they’ve had three years of chemo. Or bulimia. One of the two.
That just isn’t attractive. Don’t wanna see it. Ewwwww…
Manic Mommy says
September 14, 2007 at 9:06 amWhen was the last time one of these women menstruated?
Also, the clothes are really ugly. Your comments: dead on.
You can call me, 'Sir' says
September 14, 2007 at 9:16 amThe designers create crap for the 5% of the population that can fit into and afford to look like a walking accessory (handbag, umbrella, lasso, etc.). The fashion industry is an outstanding example of a self-licking ice cream cone: They exist purely for their own satisfaction.
K says
September 14, 2007 at 9:17 amIs is just me?
They look like bobbleheads.
Don’t they?
mabel says
September 14, 2007 at 9:46 amLaughed ’til coffee came from my nose. Perhaps they wouldn’t look so pissed if they would EAT something! Oh, and who thinks that you can have boobs AND a 6 inch waist? WTF?
Jackie says
September 14, 2007 at 9:59 amOh Bossy, how I love thee. Brilliant post (per usual.)
imstell says
September 14, 2007 at 10:10 amYou are golden! Thanks for the pick-me-up!
ali says
September 14, 2007 at 10:13 amfresh from auschwitz, indeed.
Alice says
September 14, 2007 at 10:40 amugh, i thought we were getting away from the death-on-a-stick look for a while there. didn’t the italians recently create a hubbub by seting a minimum bmi that a model had to attain before she could be in a show? we’re clearly not getting behind that idea anytime soon…
Noelle says
September 14, 2007 at 10:51 amI wasn’t aware that the concentration camps had so much cocaine. Ick!
Meghan says
September 14, 2007 at 10:57 amSo. Hot.
I’m really glad I didn’t have that third gummy bear for breakfast this morning.
(On a side note – I have a lot of BOSSY entry catching up to do. Forgive me. I’ve developed an online Scrabble addiction.)
Ruth Dynamite says
September 14, 2007 at 11:13 amRuth Dynamite can’t respond right now. Her mouth is full.
Miss Britt says
September 14, 2007 at 11:13 amOh. Dear. God.
I’m hungry just looking at them.
Must be because of there convenient little snack size.
orangeblossoms says
September 14, 2007 at 11:19 amOkay, so holocaust humor kinda freaks me out; however, if there ever was a time or set of images…. this is it.
Go Bossy!
Sarcasm Abounds says
September 14, 2007 at 11:21 amI like the last model.
Clearly she graduated from the Paula Poundstone School of Posture.

Miz Booshay says
September 14, 2007 at 11:37 amOkay.
That top model is absolutely the skinniest model I have ever seen.
How can a designer use her with a clear conscience?
Oh right. They don’t have one of those.
Oh, The Joys says
September 14, 2007 at 11:57 amI need a plate of food.
joeinvegas says
September 14, 2007 at 11:58 amMaybe if they shmooshed them all together we could get one real nice woman out of the lot.
Lori says
September 14, 2007 at 12:09 pmI love the bathing suit. I’d really love to see a real person wear it! Yuck!
Teryn says
September 14, 2007 at 12:11 pmUmmm … that last one? Wow. That’s some serious nutrient deficiency going on there.
Howard says
September 14, 2007 at 12:15 pmSEE?! This is why I thought Britney actually looked great at the VMA’s. She looked like a healthy woman! GAAAA! The fashion industry’s take on beauty is so emaciated!
(Tee-hee, I couldn’t avoid that pun.)
Diesel says
September 14, 2007 at 12:46 pmI’m actually with Howard on this one. Those women look sickly, not sexy. I gotta have me some curves. It reminds me of a joke that a skinny female comic made on LCS a while back: She said that her boyfriend told her that having sex with her was “like banging a bag of coat hangers.”
mamatulip says
September 14, 2007 at 1:13 pmYou are my new blog crush. Ever since you visited my blog I’ve been stealing away to read you and yeah…I likes.
Gotta agree with Howard up there. Britney looked GOOD compared to these girls.
Les~ says
September 14, 2007 at 1:14 pmO my gawd. Blerk!
Kristen says
September 14, 2007 at 1:42 pmThe last model feels how I look.
Or looks how I feel.
With an extra few tons of cellulite that is.
PunditMom says
September 14, 2007 at 2:14 pmMaybe we can force feed them cellulite sandwiches?
Mrs. G. says
September 14, 2007 at 2:27 pmAnd here I thought bossy couldn’t top yesterday’s offensive quotient. I love this blog.
stupidmommy says
September 14, 2007 at 2:36 pmHilarious, as usual. By the way, I clicked on the link but a window came up that said “Access Forbidden.” Or maybe it was “Access Verboten.”
Seattle Mamacita says
September 14, 2007 at 2:58 pmi hear for some models that their snack of choice is paper dipped in salsa. 0 calories and recycling to boot!
Brando says
September 14, 2007 at 3:08 pmI assume the complementary make up would be Khmer Rouge.
sassy says
September 14, 2007 at 3:28 pmThey should just hang thier stinkin’ clothes on giant paperclips with wigs. It’s be cheaper.
Nap Warden says
September 14, 2007 at 3:47 pmWhat in the world are the designers thinking??? Does seeing a girl who is starving to death, sulking down a runway make anyone think of buying clothes???
Bossy, nice presentation on some scary looking girls;)

Caroline says
September 14, 2007 at 4:03 pmI LOVE YOU BOSSY. Oh my gawd. You are The True Snarkarina of Holy Shit That’s Funny.
Katie says
September 14, 2007 at 4:09 pmYikes! The whole lot of them barely weighs 80lbs.
biddy says
September 14, 2007 at 4:22 pmi think i’ll go eat half a cow now…
oh and i know bossy doesn’t do meme’s, but i tagged you anyway
mp says
September 14, 2007 at 4:37 pmeeewww
WHO thinks that looks good? Really?
Bossy at least makes it funny.
Amanda says
September 14, 2007 at 4:48 pmNothing witty, just unabashed idolatry for the genius of Bossy, stronger even than those models’ love for Ex Lax and Lucky Strikes.
Momish says
September 14, 2007 at 4:54 pmOnce again, right on. As sad as it is, your comments had me in hysterics. I just don’t get how anyone, especially people focused on the human figure, can find anorexia flattering in any way, shape or form.
Those heads… they can’t be real, they are mutant.
Rebecca says
September 14, 2007 at 5:04 pmI love that last model. Lurching must be the new black this season.
motherofbun says
September 14, 2007 at 5:10 pmI wonder if they’d fly away in a stiff wind?
The “mom” in me wants to strap them all to chairs and force feed them chocolate sundaes, cake, cookies and Big Macs. And then make them sit there and actually DIGEST the food.
Jo says
September 14, 2007 at 5:18 pmKind of ironic that on my screen there is an ad for Uncle Ben’s rice . . . helping to end hunger.
jen says
September 14, 2007 at 5:39 pmgood lord, now that is skinny.
and i am going to go eat a slice of pizza.
Mr Farty says
September 14, 2007 at 6:22 pmOw! Ow! Ow!
Must get a Beth Ditto fix to remind me what a real woman looks like.
Phoenix says
September 14, 2007 at 6:23 pmThe forth one looks like a bat to me. I’m so mean, but all I want to do is force feed these women bacon cheeseburgers and milkshakes from In & Out.
Steph says
September 14, 2007 at 7:12 pmThe burrito I ate for lunch weighs more than any of those girls.
Mrs. Chicky says
September 14, 2007 at 7:47 pmI’m scared. Hold me.
DeannaBanana says
September 14, 2007 at 7:58 pmI totally just want to sit on them and force feed them peanut butter. And chocolate. but i’d squish them and they’d be dead.
uh-oh…plan B!
Jason says
September 14, 2007 at 8:11 pmI love that last one. It was all work for her to get down that runway!
The umbrella ella ella girl looks like you can just push up those sticks and take her out on those rainy nights.
Sueb0b says
September 14, 2007 at 10:00 pmIt reminds me of Miranda in “The Devil Wears Prada” saying to Anne Hathway “We took a chance on you. We hired the fat girl.”
Dawn @ Coming to a Nursery Near You says
September 15, 2007 at 7:40 amAs usual, you’re spot-On! 🙂 Thanks for being the News in the Know… or something like that.
Mrs. Chicken says
September 15, 2007 at 2:48 pmthat last image is still burning my retinas. gah!
Kevin Charnas says
September 15, 2007 at 4:24 pmYou had me at “woven hair” and “spliced molars”.
erin says
September 15, 2007 at 6:06 pmFeed the models!
Mary Alice says
September 15, 2007 at 7:46 pmMaybe we can get some top recording artists to create a song and a “We Are the World” type tour to raise money and draw attention to the Fashion Famine?
A Bishops Wife says
September 15, 2007 at 10:20 pmI just happened upon this tonight….
Oh my goodness! What are they thinking? This is horrid. These poor girls are ill!
I am speechless.

Jenny says
September 16, 2007 at 11:07 amI prefer Bulemias design’s. Her teeth look terrible but at least she’ll sit down and eat 3 gallons of ice cream with you.
mcewen says
September 16, 2007 at 2:46 pmIt’s one of the rare incidents of Europe being ahead of New York after their recent ban on coat hanger model types.
Best wishes
nutmeg says
September 16, 2007 at 5:23 pmI wonder how long until Kohls comes up with those knock-offs. I can’t live without that raincoat. Me and the flying nun.
ashpags says
September 16, 2007 at 10:40 pmHey Bossy! I’ve been lurking for awhile (via P-dub) and love your site. This post is classic…that last girl really does look like she’s gonna fall over. Thanks for the constant entertainment! =)
Mom101 says
September 16, 2007 at 11:37 pmBrilliant, Bossy. All you need is Roberto Begnini breaking out in song.
Bunk says
September 17, 2007 at 12:52 am“And who wants to ride on an ironing board?
That ain’t no fun. I tried me one…”

qt says
September 17, 2007 at 1:46 pmThank the lord I am having me a sammich right now…
Criquette says
September 17, 2007 at 6:57 pmBossy rules with a fist of humor!
But guys…that 4th model? She’s all hunched over to hide the rather prominent camel toe.
Beenzzz says
September 17, 2007 at 7:46 pmYes, nothing says female empowerment like making yourself look like a run over heroine addict. It spells “classy” in my book. YUCK!
MammaLoves says
September 18, 2007 at 1:47 pmIt’s just grooooosssssss.
Jen M says
September 19, 2007 at 7:26 pmI LOVE THIS POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maureen says
September 24, 2007 at 10:18 pmI was at a wedding Saturday night and was talking to a relative who just returned from Fashion Week. He said the models are thinner in person.
