Catch-23

I don't know what pisses me off more...the fact that we've created a culture in which the prevalence of celebutarded female body images in the media has necessitated the existence of size 00 pants...


...or the fact that I can't fit my sloppy American ass into them.


Anorexia: It's what's for dinner.

Then again Posh is a Pommy and that should explain a multitude of sins. Hope that makes you feel a bit better about your American ass.

Just think of the poor women who have labored their whole lives to squeeze into a size one but will never, no matter what they do, make it to zero.

tragic really

I don't really have anything funny to say; however, I never understood women's clothes sizes. Men's clothes are based on, you know, actual measurements (e.g., waist 30 inches, inseam 30 inches). It seems to me that the whole random "Size 0-12" is just another way to keep you women folk down -- and perhaps a means to confuse aspiring drag queens.

Hey, at least you don't need to replace your real boobies with fake ones because you wasted them away.

HATE.

Shan: What the hell's a Pommy? Is that anything like a plonker?

Peter: I'm starting a charitable foundation to assist victims like these...can I count on your donation? Thanks so very, very much.

GP: That's only partially true...I mean, what does "42 long" mean, in terms of a guy's suit size? That makes no damn sense either. Bottom line: Marketing is evil.

Nator: Not yet, anyway. At least now I have a goal.

'W' magazine recently had an interesting article that talks about how a lot of celebs are now using 'Elvis doctors' to get Rx's for Adderal.

I guess, it suppresses your appetite and gives you energy, but doesn't have the same effect as meth.

But yah, this celebrity thinorexia is getting out of hand.

Hehehehe Hi Helen - A Pommy, Pommie or just Pom is cheeky and somewhat innapropriate slang for a citizen of the United Kingdom.

Example in a sentence : You pommy git :D

A Plonker is a jerk/idiot. Another good word that sends me into stitches is Pillock - same meaning as plonker.

But I love British people. I have a lot of English friends. International understanding and all that rot, what.

Thanks Shan! You've brought me one step closer to my goal of insulting people in all languages and dialects throughout the world.

Oh. My. God. "00" ? Seriously?

That's just crazy...because we all know that major clotihng chains downsize all their numbers to make women feel better about themselves. Let's take The Gap as an example...their size 2 jeans are really more like a traditional 4/6...so that would mean that their "00" would be more like a 2...what's a woman with 23 inch waist to do?

The Gap: First Chain Store To Use Negative Sizing.

The whole thing disgusts me and that Posh looks like a sickly crane.

And you can tell from the look on her face that she thinks she's hot. that, or she's on a really wild designer drug cocktail.

She DOES look like a sickly crane, and she DOES think she's hot. But I guess if I was pushing out David Beckham's babies, I'd think I was hot too. I blame him for this. Becks, quit humping scary boobs on a stick! And hey, call me...
