I know that people blame Twiggy for the popularity of being so stick-thin that you look like a stiff wind could break you in two, but I don’t know so much about that. I’m sure that it didn’t help, but if Twiggy were the cause, wouldn’t the fad have faded by now?

When exactly did being shaped like a 2×4 become sexier than being shaped like an hourglass? And am I the only one who still likes breasts?

And how can there be a size zero? I mean, you exist, right? You are corporeal. You have mass. So, how can you be a size zero?

Has everyone forgotten what the term ‘zero’ actually means? It means none, nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. So, how can it be a size? I have no problem with the actual dimensions of a size zero. I have a problem with it being called a size zero. Can’t they just call it a size one and up all of the other sizes by one? Would it really hurt sales by that much? Scratch that. I already know the answer.

Upon my perusal of the definition of Zero on dictionary.com (because I’m just that kind of nerd), I find the following two definitions the most beneficial to my argument.

Definition 1: the figure or symbol 0, which in Arabic notation for numbers stands for the absence of quantity

Definition 2: naught; nothing

Zero as a size? No.
