The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star instagrammed herself in baby clothes.

I dunno people, I dunno. When I see Bethenny Frankel, an adult who's proudly showing off her 43 year old body adorned in clothing that's made for a four year old, I don't feel envious of her stick figure, I'm concerned.
Here's the dealio:Sunday morning Bethenny instagrammed herself wearing daughter's Bryn's jammies. The caption read, "This is my daughter's nightgown and PJ shorts, think we're ready to start sharing clothes yet?"
According to The Daily News, the photo got 8,000 likes. Yes, you read that correctly, 8,000 likes. Which is like telling this woman to keep starving herself, and I may be wrong, but as an anorexic, the only way that I know an adult can be that thin is to get on the anorexia merry-go-round. Trust me, that ride is not an E-ticket.
A couple of years ago, I was invited to a press event and Bethenny Frankel was there as the co-host or special star (if you want to call it that) of the event. When I met her in person I was struck by how much prettier and healthier she looked off camera. This was when she was filming possibly her last season for RHONYC. I'd ask the PR firm, but they don't answer my emails.
I've watched her chat show only once. I noticed that she had gotten much thinner than when I saw her in person. Could she have been so stressed out that she couldn't eat? I don't know. But watching that one episode, one could see her how much tinier she had become.
Maybe Bethenny thought it would be a funny photo to share on instagram. Maybe she thought she'd get a funny headline or two out of it. Instead, she has a host of women who want to make sure she gets a good meal (or sixty) inside of her, a lot of outraged fans, bad press and a lot of thinspiration fiends, AKA anorexics who are using her as the ideal body.
So, my question to you is this: do you think this was a joke gone bad? Do you think she needs a hamburger? Do you think we're all making too much of this photo?
