Daaayaaammmmn ! Her head's too big for her body!

Have you ever noticed how some women (and men, too, I guess, but I don't keep up ;-) who get really thin, also grow bigger heads? Whazzup w'dat?

Cases in point: Laura Flynn Boyle<%=imdbLink_sm%>, Elizabeth Hurley<%=imdbLink_sm%>, Angelina Jolie<%=imdbLink_sm%> and, at the risk of being thin-clichéd, Calista Flockhart<%=imdbLink_sm%>. Poking around entertainment news sites will yield other examples. Many Hollywood starlets seem to be yearning for that oh-so-svelte Dachau look. Not a pretty site. The pictures shown on these ladies' IMDb<%=imdbLink_sm%> publicity head-shots don't illustrate what I mean. Some women get so skinny that, proportionally, their heads are just too big.

Call me shallow, but I find that I buy into the media hype that thinner is prettier than fatter. I like the fit look. Note that I said "fit." "Fit" can cover a lot of ground, and a wide range of body types. Fat is not, however, "fit." I like fit.

Still, too much of a good thing is... too much.

I don't like a big head on a bony body.

Ladies, eat something, please? You're scaring the children.
