Today’s Top 5

Ouch, absolutely

That's not anorexia--she's thin, but her cheeks are not drawn. That's a tightly laced corset. Anne Fogarty, author of "Wife Dressing" and a fashion designer, bragged about her 18" waist. Fogarty looked a lot more comfortable in her undergarments than does the lady on the left, though.

Anorexia Nervosa

That is one very unhealthy looking lady.
