Sexy Anna Rexia


No, you're not hallucinating.

Introducing this year's most offensive Halloween costume, "Sexy Anna Rexia."

Certainly no explanation is needed on this one. It's obnoxious. It makes light (pun unavoidable) of a disease that kills people. It's not even clever word play. This costume is akin in tastelessness to sporting a "Mental Lee Retarded" get up.

I was reminded, as I stood slack jawed in the disposable Halloween costume section of my local drug store perusing the sexy pirate/cop/wench/nurse collection, how very little people really get this disorder. Anorexia, while a very different kind of illness, is what schizophrenia was in the 1950's.

Even on this, the High Holiday of inappropriate, Anna Rexia is too much. And this coming from a girl who has gone as a topless Gyro girl.
