The end of the world is nigh
I now know that the end of world is near. How do I know this you might ask? Because I saw in the window display, large as life, WE NOW CARRY SIZE 00. While I understand the desire to become thinner, I myself would like to get to a single-digit pant size sometime before I expire, I think the fashion industry has gone too far when they feel the need to start making negative sizes. It was not that long ago, maybe I'm dating myself here, that I actually did a double take in the mall upon seeing the sign, once again as large as the storefront window, WE NOW CARRY SIZE 0. Is it too much to ask women to weigh more than a package of toilet paper or to eat more in one day than a hummingbird? I do not have this problem as you may have guessed. I know that I could never be annorexic because I like to eat, and I could never be bulemic because I hate throwing up. I just can't see how glamorizing and promoting these walking skeletons can be good for the body image of the millions of teen and pre-teenage girls in this world. I hope we go back to the days of Marilyn Monroe, where size 8 was not considered plus-size.
