Thinspiration Movies & Shows

[bingeonvogue]

Marissa Cooper from the first season of the O.C. (and Caitlin!)
Also such reverse-thinspiration to be watching it and then be reminded of what she looks like now

I just searched for 'Super Skinny Me' in the forums and I'm surprised nothing came up for it, has anyone seen it?
It's a BBC documentary about two average girls trying to get to size 0 in 5 weeks. One of them stops at some point (I think she was purging but it's been a while since I watched it) but the one who makes it looks so good at the end. I mean the documentary is very anti size 0 but I liked seeing which of the diet methods worked and which didn't.
You can watch it on youtube-

Blow-Up (1966), which starred supermodel Veruschka is amazing. Jane Birkin also stars in it.

I remember this! The BBC has some good weight/diet-related documentaries from time to time, and now they're doing a show about trying to transform the eating habits of unhealthy, overweight or on the large side of average families, and it's great reverse thinspo and motivation to eat well.

Yeah I like these kinds of docos!
What's the new show called? Is it like SS v SS?

Yes! Marissa was one of my first thinspo's (before I realized that thinspo was a thing), and I recently rewatched the first two seasons for this reason. Agree with the reverse working as well, she was such a cutie in The O.C!

The Wolverine (latest movie with Tao Okamoto) - Tao just, I starve every time.
Also, Stana Katic from Castle. I wouldn't consider her thinspo but her character just looks so lithe and agile, it worked wonders as thinspo. Not to mention I just love the show.

Not sure if it's because Colin Firth is pretty "thick" in comparison, but Aurelia from Love Actually - gorgeous skinny woman, I need to rewatch it this weekend!

Antonioni is a narrative genius. So many consistently incredible films

Aaarrggghhh she gets to 00 and celebrates by slamming chocolate cake into her mouth?!?
That hurt to watch. Undoing weeks of seriously dedicated hard work. She looked really good for a second there

 

[CappachinOh]

I fell in love with the trashy, fucked up, junkie, prostitute, crazy, bad girl look.

Black Snake Moan

Freeway

Natural Born Killers

Girl Interrupted

Spun

Enter The Void


It's weird how many examples I could find.

Not even a guilty pleasure - love them! They are so far some my reality and goals that it's nice to indulge in them and live vicariously (and momentarily) through them.

Lie with Me is a super raunchy film if you're into that. I love how truly American Indie it is, veryyyy low budget. Probably a secret favourite of mine.

The Phantom of the Opera- Emmy Rossum looks so tiny there!

I just now realized this is why I was so obsessed with that movie in high school. Emmy Rossum in that black corset was probably my first real thinspo. (Gerard Butler singing, on the other hand.. )

Also rewatching the OC now for some Marissa thinspo! Her clothes were often ridiculous, but she could pull almost anything off because her body was perfection. Emphasis on WAS.......

That bothered me too.

What annoyed me the most was the voiceover dramatically stating something to the effect of, "these 00 jeans could fit a six.year.old."

Huh?

I can't think of one six year old I have encountered who could fit into grown women's jeans. So ridiculous!

Am I missing something?

It's school holidays at the moment so there are lots of children everywhere I go. I've seen a lot of fat 6 year olds! They would fit in women's jeans easily...they shouldn't but sadly, they do.

This is probably one of my favourites out of the Supersize vs Superskinny show. This girl is the size i'd like to be and body comp too. But i call on her estimated daily calories, i'm guessing she eats less than that.

I love Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan.
The transformation!!

I've seen Kelly + Victor a while ago, i don't remember if it's good, probably not... but the actress is thinspirational and the actor is hot so you can still give it a shot.

Whoa. Antonia Campbell-Hughes is tiny!

Perhaps a little TOO tiny.

I agree she's a little bit "scary skinny", i don't remember if she looks so skinny in the movie

Why is she even in the show?
