Sub Zero sizes?

ohio_eric · 11-17-2006, 02:07 PM

I got this from a story about a model who lived on apples and tomatoes and was down to 88 lbs in spite of being 5'8".

But anyway some clothing manufacturers are going to offer "sub-zero" sizes. So how skinny is sub-zero??

Waaaay to skinny to be healthy. The fashion industry has long come under fire (rightly so) for trying to encourage women to be as thin as possible, even to the point of being dangerously unhealthy. My girlfriend is a very healthy and sexy UK size 10 to 12, which is around a US 6 to 8 I think, and is really paranoid about me seeing her "fat bits". What she means is she has a figure, which is something the fashion media consider a crime akin to murdering children these days.

I really think it's high time there was some sort of legislation on this. I don't know what the US is like, though I imagine it's a similar situation to the UK, but we're finding cases of women with eating disorders are rocketing due to media pressure to be thin. This isn't helped by the pushing of the "size zero" image that's all the rage with the "high fashion" people right now. Teenage girls are bombarded with these images and it fuck's them up for life, giving them massive body image problems.

I know it's not a new thing at all, my girlfriend is 31 for instance and she has big body issues from the pressures she felt as a teenager. Given the drastic decrease in size of the image being pushed to the teenagers of now I hate to think how bad their body issues will be.

In Spain you have to have a BMI of AT LEAST 18 to work. Just so you know a 5'8" woman with a BMI of 18 would weight about 118 lbs, which is thin but not skeleton like.

I never got the whole super skinny thing. It's unnatural.

Fuck them anorexic hoes, to be blunt. It looks disgusting. I like girls wit' some thickness.

Wow. Nothing like banging a skeleton.

In all fairness to the model though, I find it really sad and tragic. Does not make me happy at all, poor girls. What a ridiculous concept of self-worth the fucking media foists off on young girls.

Women are supposed to have curves.

Indeed they are, and I like them with curves.
