Not skinny but 'rexy'

Filed in archive News on July 24, 2007

When you put anorexic and sexy together you get rexy - a new word describing real skinny girls, whose origin is contributed to Kate Moss.

I was never a big fan of the underage heroin-chic look Kate Moss promoted from her early beginnings on the runways, and I was even concerned when people all around me started eating less than 1000 calories per day - to get as thin as possible.

But, Kate Moss is well over 30 now, and still looks as skinny as when she started, so it must be her natural physique. Everything she puts on becomes an instant IT item, and she does put extensive work in promoting party lifestyle without feeling guilty about it.

I too have friends who are thin, thinner than one should think possible, and don't suffer from eating disorders, on the contrary, they work hard on eating well and exercising to gain some weight. Although some of them feel unhappy because of flat chests and butts or skinny legs, I think they are adorable, as are my curvy friends.

Hope rexy will stick, so that naturally skinny people can feel sexy too - and have a word to describe it.
