an L.A. first for me

last night i was at my favorite frozen yogurt place getting yogurt. no, this isn't a first for me. i was waiting in line when i noticed the woman in front of me. i only noticed her because she was wearing a tank top and her shoulder bones were bursting through her skin. also, not a first for me. i examined her more closely and saw that her forearms and wrists where the smallest grossest things i had ever seen. and her hands were really aged. clearly i was looking at an anorexic woman. again, not a first for me in L.A. but as my eyes made their way down to her ankles, i noticed a peculiar thing. she had weights velcroed around her ankles. seriously. and they were huge! and it's not like she had come jogging in because she was wearing flip flops and real clothes. no, i really think she just wears ankle weights all the time. it looked absolutely ridiculous and, paired with her stick-like frame, it was actually quite sad. she did order a large yogurt rather than a medium so maybe the extra 20 calories will help. maybe not.
