FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my comment get deleted?

Comments don’t get deleted/rejected because I don’t like your opinion – all opinions are welcome!  But here are things that probably WILL get your comment deleted:

  • Personal attacks against anyone.  Grow up, or go sit at the kiddie table!
  • Use of a fake email address. If the verification email bounces, the comment goes in the trash automatically. If you’re concerned about sharing your email address, sorry, but it’s the only way I can know you’re a real person and not a spammer. Most important: I absolutely will never publish or share anyone’s email address.
  • Redundant, unfulfilling, generally boring remarks.  This site is supposed to be beautiful and interesting; please do your part.
  • Irrelevant.  Don’t post comments that have nothing to do with the article.  Stay on topic and resist the urge to split every post into a hundred tangents. That’s what the forum is for.
  • Posting your personal contact information. Common sense. The new forum has much safer ways for you to connect with each other privately.

Also: if you’re a repeatedly a jerk, I will permanently ban you from the site.

Why do you stay anonymous?

Because I have a real-world profession with clients and partners and this is a controversial subject, even in places like Hollywood.  Also, if it were public who I am then I would not be able to get the good info that I do.

How do you know the models’/celebrities’ weights / stats / gossip / diets / secrets / whatever?

First of all, just to get it out there, my boyfriend is a well-known photographer.  Without getting into too many details, he works with a lot of modeling agencies, models, has photographed quite a few celebrities, and is pretty well-connected.  I have done some modeling (but I’m not any kind of big-time agency model) and I now work in the fashion & entertainment industries.  We both have a number of friends and colleagues in the fashion and entertainment business – from the models/celebrities themselves to their bookers and agents.  So, I have some good sources.

Is this a pro-ana site?

No.  This is a pro-skinny site.  People who have illnesses of any kind shouldn’t be here – they should be seeking professional help and working to get well.

You should do a post about whoever.  She’s lost/gained weight/I saw her eating pizza/not eating.

Suggestions are welcome – post them to the forums – but keep them out of the other articles.

Can I write a guest post?

Maybe – post your suggestions / submissions to the forum.

Can I send you pictures of me?

It’s probably better, safer, and smarter to share them on the forum (where they’ll be seen by verified members only.)

I work in the fashion or entertainment business and I have a hot tip.

Awesome!  Thanks for sharing – email me!  If you want me to give you credit, be sure to tell me how you want to be identified.

You keep telling me to email you.  How is such a thing possible?

If you can decipher this: gurl at skinnygossip d0t com then you can get in touch.  (It’s scrambled a little to help reduce spam – you’ll figure it out!)
