“Miss Anna Rexia costume has Knit dress with glitter screenprint. Includes headband, choker neckband, REMOVABLE “Anna Rexia” badge and ribbon tie belt (5pc. costume set). $49.99. Coming soon!”

UPDATE: Ricky’s has pulled the costume from the website.

Excuse me while I make a Can Cer costume.
Are these people kidding me? It’s not something you dress up as, or something you use at a celebration to look “cool”. fuck people.
guest
@belleorecluses@xanga – I agree with you!
This is outrageous! everyone thinks this is just some game people do, but its real! they dont undestand!

Wow, that’s fucking dumb.
guest
That’s sort of funny actually (in a dark, cynical way).
guest
What a ridiculous idea for a costume. Are you kidding me?
No one says “Hey I’m going to dress up as a person who has an overweight problem” it’s just like saying “Hey – this Halloween I feel like dressing up as a cancer patient” it’s disgusting!
guest
This is the one of the stupidest, most ignorant things that I have ever seen.

I’m out to design a “Jenna Talia” costume before anybody else does.

Hey if that’s what it takes to make pro-anas realize how stupid they’re being, I’m all for it.

well, people do wear fat suits and poke fun at fat people on halloween. they more than likely have an eating disorder as well (binge eating, over eating, bulimia, etc. who knows?)
I’m not saying either costume is right. I would never portray myself as someone who is suffering from a mental illness. I’m disturbed that people even have the lack of human compassion and empathy to design OR wear something like this.

I think if I saw someone wearing this on Halloween I would bitch-slap her. I will be dressed as Cyndi Lauper and ready to kick some asses.
Hey, maybe they could make a depression costume with a makeup kit to paint cuts on your arms, wouldn’t that be cool? Or how about an OCD costume with a little bottle of hand soap on a keychain? Christ almighty.
guest
To each their own, I guess. I wouldn’t say it’s worth the $50 price tag, though.
guest
I’m offended

What the fuck? They couldn’t just call it Sexy Skeleton or whatever? They HAD to make it about anorexia? That’s ridiculous. And ya know what? The costume isn’t bad. But I’d never buy something sporting the word anorexia on it, even if the pin comes off. Fuck that.
guest
Tasteless
guest
@babybug329@xanga - Right? $50 for a crap dress.
I do like the bone headband though, haha. Even if I still had my ED, I wouldn’t be upset over this.
guest
@Athlyx@xanga - Maybe you can make a bone headband
Plain headband, foam bone decor from the craft store, a little ribbon and a hot glue gun.
guest
that is just fuckin’ mean
guest
Good statement on how insensitive people who have never gone through disordered eating issues can be.
guest
the dress is kinda cool. i don’t know why people are all offended. -_- people dress up as crazies in straight jackets, as serial killers (dexter), as fat people, as baby and mom sick attatchment costumes EVERY year. costumes that are insulting to many people, if they were to take it so personal. but no one is making a big hissy fit over those calling them insulting. being mentally unstable isnt cool, serial killers affect families world wide and communities, fat people wouldnt like being made fun of for their size…. like come on people. get real. its a costume, every costume insults someone, dont take it up the ass. the costumes catchy name and slutty look will cause many sales.
guest
WTF?

Oh. That took me a while. I was like, “who’s this Anna Rexia chick?” ……. fail.

What… no aids? No halocaust? No Cancer costumes?
This is ridiculous.
guest
and what about Ana’s sister, Mia? they didn’t make a bulmia one too? why not? it seems like the newest trend to make girls think being skinny is all that matters, no matter what it takes to get there. nobody needs good health when they’re skinny…. right?!!!
guest
hmmm… the person that came up with this needs a life…. and a punch in the face
guest
minus the labels and measuring tape and shit, the dress is cute for a halloween party. but its a far stretch for the designers to think that anyone would buy this and wear it the way it was intended to be
guest
How tasteful. ಠ_ಠ

AHAHAHAHAHAAHA this is so tongue in cheek, chill the fuck out
guest
I kinda like the dress. It had an unfortunate name, though.
guest
So wrong.
guest
It’s funny in a sad way.
@baby__chiiq@xanga - I asked my grandma if she knew who Anna Rexia was, and while I was saying it out loud, it hit me. Then my grandma didn’t get it, so I had to explain about a million times. Haha
guest
wtf.

I’m pretty they pulled this from their website YEARS ago.
guest
I actually giggled when I first saw it.
I understand people being offended by it, but what *doesn’t* offend people these days?
guest
That is beyond fucked up…. some people are complete idiots.
guest
this is not funny and i feel realy offended.
guest
@purity_within@xanga - people totally dress up as overweight people for fun lmao. sumo wrestlers, big fat guys, i’ve seen it all.

wow. there are no words.
guest
@LKJSlain@xanga - CRAP! You stole my idea of an AIDS costume.
guest
so glad that it got pulled off the website…tht costume is just…WTF!!!!???
guest
@posterofagirlxx@xanga - Exactly. My thoughts exactly.
guest
this is actually ridiculously offensive. They are making a disorder into a halloween costume. Halloween=scary. I’m sorry but what has this world come to
guest
Aww, they pulled it thanks to people like you whining? Damn, that was was a funny ass costume. Thanks for helping to make Halloween less fun for everyone.
guest
hahahaha, i love this costume. Too funny.
Someone above compared this to poking fun at cancer. Umm i’m sorry but the two are nothing alike. Cancer is something that a person has no choice over. Don’t compare the two.

What about Tyra NnoSaura Rexia? Is she coming back anytime soon?
guest
What an awesome message to send to girls all over the world! *goes to throw up to fit in costume*
Am I as skinny as Anna Rexia yet????
-_______- The nerve of the world…… *shakes head*
guest
@needmoreink@xanga - i like how you think.
guest
@ItIsAllGravy@xanga - haha this comment rocks…
I’m sitting here with my boyfriend and had to go over and show him your comment.
he agreed, it’s awesome… he said i should dress up as “Jenna Talia” for halloween lol.
However, I’ve already decided on dressing up as Barbie for halloween this year haha

I like how the girls that can fit into this costume probably don’t need the costume to look like Anna Rexia.
guest
I like it *shrugs*
guest
@ShirleyD@xanga - bitch.
guest
@futureFBIagent@xanga - Telling a stranger they’re a bitch. Takes a bitch to do that.
Thus I guess we have that in common. Nice. 
guest
haha I like your humor.
