and if you have wide hips..I can lose another 30 lbs and just look really thin, but not gross cause I'm so curvy. Other women, not so much, they need to stay at a higher weight to look normal.

Two thin is when you look like a heroine/meth addict or a concentration camp refugee.

It's just sick. Arms should be convex, not concave.

Thin will always be totally in! Just look at all the models out there if you doubt me. Oh..all those "plus size" (what an absurd euphenism) tubbies will bleat on about how "real women have curves" but believe me, there is no substitute for long legs, a cute little butt and a hard, flat belly.
BTW--what type of musician are you? I've been a professional drummer for 20 years in Los Angeles and Austin. Just curious, since, having worked primarily in the rock and country genres, I've found that most of them could care less what they look like.
My wife is a classical violinist, and is rail-thin, but she's always been that way and even in that field very few musicians place much stock in their appearance, as the instead opt to devote their attention and time to perfecting their craft.

Except to those who like soft bellies, and soft bodies. There ARE those people out there. Everyone doesnt like the same thing, thankfully

I'm a violinist, classically trained, but I'd play on a garbage heap if they'd pay me. I also conduct. I find that the thinner I am, the more people respect and take me seriously. And it's not just that, a reflection of others' opinions that concerns me, but the lighter I am, the better I feel. I just don't want to go too far. Veganism does most of it for me but I've recently cut out salt. However, one of my student's mother said that not getting iodine might be a problem. I don't know...anyone know?
