Here's my response to a Salon Broadsheet article, "Mannequins for the masses," about Spain's efforts to defy the "size zero" mentality of the fashion industry.
Does size zero really exist?
Here's what I don't understand: Why does size zero even exist?
I mean, why would any woman even WANT to be a zero? Zero equals nothing. Look zero up in the dictionary: "a state of total absence or neutrality." This is sick, people.
Clothing sizes have changed over the years -- what is now a 14 used to be an 18 -- so size zero is an arbitrary designation.
Or is it?

The whole size 0 thing seems akin to the rock n' roll version: amps to 11. On the one hand, you have the uber thin girl who wants to be just that much skinnier than her other skinny friends; on the other you have the mulleted hesher who wants to go just a little bit louder than his other hessian buddies.
Both camps are missing the point: it's all about having a nice, thick tone.
Hesher? Never heard that one before ...!

Love this, thanks!
