It would really help if I ate something before one o'clock. Hunger -> lack of coping skills & raaaage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god. I broke a sweat putting on the support tights. Hand to god. I need to nap now. Good thing I'd already called in late. This would have put me way over schedule.
I just ironed four pairs of black pants. Despite them covering a range of weights, I may need another closet purge.

Whoot, give it up, Romney!!
I am very jealous of bon's lasik too! I can't have the lasik, but I was starting to look into the implantable contacts (my eyes are reallllllly bad). But it's super expensive. And now I dont' have a job. HARUMPH.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't know if this is revenge or just comedy. Male Models Get Skinny:
models like Stas Svetlichnyy of Russia typified the new norm. Mr. Svetlichnyy’s top weight, he said last week, is about 145 pounds. He is 6 feet tall with a 28-inch waist. >[link]When the male models start weighing less than I do (they're not there yet, but not, apparently, for lack of trying), I think we'll have hit a watershed.

One of the days early into morphine I looked at woot's home page. It wasn't that product, but it was similar delivery. I think I stared at it for ten minutes before moving on, no less clued.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That's really not that new. A lot of gay men I knew back home were bullemic or anorexic. One guy I knew would sew the sides of his already tiny Gap t-shirts to make them fit tighter. That look has just spread to the modeling community.

They weigh less than I do, so that's a start.
I'm guessing heroin chic never made it from the Calvin Klein ads to the runway, if this is new. Janice Dickinson was certainly casting hollow-abdomened guys in her first season of the reality show. Curious about the newness.
I understand the designers are not looking for a male image anymore. They’re looking for some kind of androgyne
And here is the equality. They've been stripping away gender signifiers in couture for years, and now they're doing it to guys too.
However I'm way out of touch of the current differences between the desired image for general runway, couture, catalogue, etc. I know they vary muchly.
