Jennifer Connelly: Mulholland Falls era.
Jennifer Connelly: now.
...WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? In 1996 ... I mean, I'd hit that. But now look at her! What happened to her boobs? She was ... I believe the term I've seen used once was 'racktacular'. Not too much, but enough to be ogle-worthy. Now she looks like a freakin' praying mantis! The only people I can really see wanting to hit that are seriously hardcore necrophiliacs.
(Edit: Apparently she had a double mastectomy six years ago, so smaller cup size owing to reconstruction, although Google nets me nothing about this, though there is a rumour about breast reduction surgery. Whatever the case, this in no way invalidates anything else I'm saying here - look at her arms! Look at her legs! Hell, look at her face!!! You can see the shape of her skull in her face!)
So ... anorexia? Hard-core drug habit? Cancer? WHAT? I mean, am I wrong in thinking that that's not just unattractive, but horrifying?
My mother used to obsess about my weight when I was younger, and my relationship with food used to be a bit weird. This is the sort of thing that makes me glad I never had it worse, and that I stuck to my guns with the "I'd rather be fat than miserable, thank you" line. Because seriously, I'd rather be my roly-poly Bogganish self than look like that.
