Tiffany Livingston: Hot Girls Have Anxiety Too

Tiffany Livingston, a 21-year-old Playboy model from RI, had an anxiety attack during a Jet Blue flight today and reportedly tried to open the plane’s door while it was in the air.

The FBI detained her after the flight for questioning. A source told Philip Messing of “The New York Post,” “She said she’s gone through this before, but never this bad, and didn’t have her medication.”

I’m sure there’s some bitter “well her implants are probably floaty” joke to make here, but I’d have to be the jealous type to even think of that.

Is it just me, or is extreme anxiety and heavy use of anti-anxiety medication disproportionately common among hot girls? Anna Nicole Smith was reported to be on over 20 medications when she died of an overdose, several of which were prescribed for anxiety relief.

Lindsey Lohan, who “The Examiner” reports is prescribed Zoloft, is a self-admitted alcoholic, an addiction that famously stems from self-medicating anxiety and depression. The list goes on: Paris Hilton, Brittany Murphy, etc, etc.

The question is, do young, average-looking girls with too much anxiety become obsessed with becoming hot and having their picture taken, or is being naturally hot just too damn stressful? My guess is the later.

Humans are judgmental. It’s how we get by. And for this reason, who we are on the inside is, in-part, shaped by what we are on the outside.

Just as having uncontrollable acne is severely isolating for a sixth-grader, so must being the only 12-year-old with a size C cup. Being loathed by every girl in your school, teased by all the boys, and fawned over by high-school kids and even grown men must be terribly confusing at that age. I wouldn’t be surprised if those kinds of mixed signals plants a disproportionate sense of priority on physical appearance into a 12-year-old’s mind.

An ex-Lolita probably enters adulthood with sense that she can control things she shouldn’t, and that her worth is in direct proportion to her ability to turn heads. If that’s not a recipe for continuous letdown and mounting anxiety, I don’t know what is.
