comment |
Self-Harm: In "Spotless", the narrator draws seven lines on her leg with a razor, "deep as the silence of my days, as straight as the path I ran from the huntsman, as red as those three drops for which my mother named me." |

Long List |

comment |
Long List: "You Go, Girl!" is a long poem listing all the undesirable beauty flaws that make a girl look ugly, ending with an offer to buy a $40 cream that might fix them up...might being the operative word. |

In with the In Crowd: In "Life Among the Swans", becoming the swan from The Ugly Duckling is used as a metaphor for becoming beautiful and popular. No one teases the swans, but the newest swan doesn't have much in common with her new "friends" and secretly wants her old life back. |

Shout-Out: "Human Centipede One" mentions the first and second movies. In "Boy Toy Villanelle", G.I. Joe and Spider-Man are mentioned as examples of stereotypical boys' toys, with Princess Cadence from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as a stereotypical girls' toy. |

Weight Woe |
| | Poisoned Apples: Poems for You, My Pretty / int_e7ecdeb0 |
comment |
Weight Woe: Anorexia and body image issues are recurring theme in about half of the poems, including "The Never-ending Story", "Blow Your House In", "Going Under", "The Anorexic Eats a Salad", and "Thumbelina's Get-Tiny Cleanse—Tested". In "The Never-Ending Story", the narrator's parents want her to get better from her anorexia and are clearly horrified by it. It does not help that their younger daughter is being influenced by her sister, pretending that her dolls have feeding tubes. |

With Friends Like These...: In "BFF", the narrator's best friend Jill goes out with her crush, tells him her embarrassing secret, and passive-aggressively Stealth Insults her weight and looks. In "Vindictive Punctuation", Sheila doesn't seem to care very much that her friend feels insecure about her looks, and leaves her behind to go to the homecoming dance with her boyfriend. |
