Attention supermodels: Go ahead and  have that extra box of doughnuts and another bucket of fried chicken - a weight has been lifted from your bony shoulders.  

In a shocking move, Spain has instituted a ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show. Madrid’s fashion week has turned away underweight models after protests that girls and young women were trying to copy  their rail-thin looks and developing eating disorders. Medics will be on hand at the upcoming show to check  models. So, grab another slice of double-cheese pizza, and read the storythin2300.jpg

I’m in my Happy Place. What is a Happy Place? I wonder what Adam Sandler is really like. Maybe I’ll get to go to the sandy beach later. I like the sun and the surf and the hot guys at the beach. That’s kind of a happy place. But is it my Happy Place? I don’t know. I like pizza resturants too. Maybe a jewelery store? Happy, happy, happy. I’m a model and I’m happy
