Rupaul: HIV or an eating disorder?

Don't ask me how, but I randomly ended up on Rupaul's blog today. And did a double-take when I came across this posting:




"...this fabulous pro-ana web site." And the link takes you to one of these sad pro-anorexia websites. So... Rupaul is anorexic? I can't imagine anyone calling an ana site "fabulous," even as a joke. It doesn't even seem to be ironic.

I googled Rupaul and anorexia, and apparently people are noticing that he looks gaunt and ill but are assuming that he has HIV. But I came across this posting too on his site:

"featured was footage of BOWIE from ‘73 thru ‘76, when he was at his most anorexic and most beautiful"

Seriously. You don't say "most anorexic and most beautiful" unless you have some serious issues about how thin you have to be to look good. Sadness.
