I particularly liked how she re-worked a costume so that she could fit it...it shows ingenuity beyond what many could muster in similar circumstances. A lot of young women exhibit addictive behavior regarding food, eating to bursting without being hungry, bulimia, etc..  In Rebaba's case, the circumstance she was in (professional performance) coincided with a "next level"--cocaine. So, did she become an addict because she was trying to solve a problem ("too fat"), or due to an "addictive personality," or both? I'll wait to hear.
