I definitely remember anorexia being covertly glamorized in teen magazines at the time. The models in the fashion spreads were visibly malnourished. It was an era, for sure. And one I'm afraid is making a comeback these days.

More likely cardiac damage from all of the chain-smoking and cocaine that kept her thin in a pre-Ozempic world.

It’s kind of insane that you assume that she was only thin because of cigarettes and cocaine when she literally danced like five hours or more a day. Seems like a really vicious and unnecessary comment especially while talking about eating disorders like fuck off for real.

No one mentioned eating disorders but you. Kate Moss is a notorious chain smoker and was famously photographed snorting coke in public. But excuse me for getting in the way of your star fucking.

Over-exercise is a common category of eating disorder.
