too farWhen he met mehe told me I looked like Kim Basinger long blonde locks but as time wore on I knew I wasn’t her and I could never be her and I was never good enough thin enough pretty enough I got a perm straightened my teeth bought a wonder bra but it wasn’t doing the trick I bought slimfast used the stair stepper ate rice cakes and wheat germ but I wasn’t thin enough I only dropped twenty pounds so I went to the spa got my skin peeled soaked myself in mud wrapped myself in cellophane bought the amino acid facial creams but I knew they didn’t really work so I went to the doctor got my nose slimmed my tummy stapled my thighs sucked
