Size Zero.

Today i will talk about Size Zero.

Isnt it odd how you lok back at the Spice Girls and how fat they look? and now you see Posh struggling to stay upright in a breeze, she's so thin.

I don't know what size i am, cos there's no legal definition of sizes. Which is strange. I think Women are under pressure to be thin but i dont think its all the media's fault. Although all these headlines like 'SKINNY SHAME!' 'EAT SOMETHIN, LOVE!' and then on the other side 'FUCK IT, I'M AVIN A MEAL!' and then really unflattering photos where everything isn't staged and airbrushed and these people just look normal and not the skinniness we all seem to associate with glamour.

I think people should be healthy and with a proper BMI and everything, but i also think if you're a size 20 or 4, you're probably not happy.

Also i think steps should be taken to seperate 'skinny' and 'rich' or 'successful' or 'desirable' in our minds. A case in point here is Girls Aloud. When they first were on whatever they were on they looked completely normal. Then suddenly they went down 2 dress sizes and became 'successful'.

As an indie muso girl, i reckon its also difficult cos so many musicians are on the thin side too. Like the lovely Patrick Wolf, who i adore but who's definatly not fat, and all the new rave scene and basically everyone in a band during the past 2 years. This excludes 'fat rake', the Futureheads and Beth Ditto.
