On Wednesday and Thursday, the "True Blood" actress enlightened a fan (and as a result, the world) on what it was like to pose for the cover of Vanity Fair's Young Hollywood issue back in 2003.
After a Twitter user posted the cover photo with the caption "NEVER FORGET," the 27-year-old proceeded to tweet what really went on behind-the-scenes. Turns out, she had an awful experience and admitted to feeling "like meat" despite hanging out with up-and-coming stars such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Amanda Bynes, Mandy Moore and OMG Lindsay Lohan.

Side note , I have shot the cover of "vanity fair" since and had a much different experience. It was quite lovely.
