Television actresses are becoming more and more skinny by every episode they appear on. One of the shows that I watch frequently is 90210 on the CW. Every episode, the actresses appear too skinny and have perfect hair and makeup. Seeing their collarbones pop out and small torsos makes everyone question if they are too skinny for television. According to Entertainment Weekly and Us Weekly, "they are shocked to discover that several female members of the cast of 90210 appear to have last eaten in fifth grade." The main female characters in the show are Shenae Grimes (Annie), and Jessica Stroup(Silver), Annalynne McCord(Naomi), which all appear to have skinny bodies."There is no denying that Stroup and Grimes look more frightening- you have to wonder if the show's producers tried to save money by casting by the pounds,"says Mary McNamara. From covers on tabloids these ladies have been seen as too thin and most importantly perfect for the ideal ladies in show business. I think with many skinny actresses in television today, 90210's wonderful ladies have been the skinniest yet. Having young girls seeing these stars on television only makes their body image worse. With eating disorders becoming more and more of a trend, television actresses seem to have the ideal body and that is what girls are trying to look like. Watching the show recently, you can tell that they have put on much more weight now from 2008, but they are still thin and too perfect for the average girl to be idolizing.
