Amber & Non-Glamorous Ailments

In Ye Olde Times, when people were sick, it was romantic.  This is not just my opinion; there are whole books on the subject and even a Wikipedia entry.  Everyone knows consumption is the most glamorous ailment of all times and continues to be glamorous in the cinema.

Somehow, I don't quite look like a failing starlet, being consumed by disease from the inside out.

I do, however, seem to have something in common with another blonde bombshell whose character was consuming.

See the resemblance?
