A Cheryl Shops public service announcement (sort of)
The term "eating disorder" gets thrown around a lot where the fashion industry is concerned; if I were to generalize, it would be by average people in reference to models, many of whom are naturally thin (or are at least thin because they're not yet 20 years old). Having seen several friends suffer through eating disorders, it really upsets me to see people being called "anorexic" so readily. (Sadly, some models actually are anorexic, an issue that does need to be addressed in the fashion community.) In other words, eating disorders are a very serious thing. So support the National Eating Disorders Association and check out their online auction, which runs through December 6th and features over 100 items from jewelry to ballet tickets. NEDA is dedicated to promoting awareness and education, equal access to treatment, and support for families.

Was Rachel Zoe encouraging drug use or other ways of maintaining an ueber thin figure?

The rumor is that RZ allegedly gives all her clients Clenbuterol (a steroid used to treat asthma in horses) in order to keep them in sample sizes. Granted, this is just a rumor. But, you know.
