Dear Fashion Industry...

I have a valuable piece of information that could help you sell millions more clothes. Here it is...no, come closer...90% OF PEOPLE ARE NOT A SIZE 0!!!

Do you know there are stores that average sized people cannot shop in because they won't be able to fit into the biggest size there?? I do not consider myself to be obese in any way shape or form, however I was apalled at how many clothing stores at the mall yesterday sport size 0's. Not just a few either...a lot of them. A medium or large was nowhere to be seen. Everything is small or extra small. I picked out a halter top yesterday that looked like a neck warmer. My friends comment? "Yeah Lorraine...I could wear that...maybe one on each thigh." She has a valid point.

Stop trying to squeeze us into your itty bitty clothes. We don't fit. We shouldn't have to fit into sizes that are too small for us. Expand your sizes from 0-6 to something a little more realistic.

Size 0...what is that anyway!?! That shouldn't even exist! 0=nothing...I am a size nothing. I have no size. I am a shapeless blob of nothing, therefore I do not need a proper size. What's next, negative sizes?

In conclusion, we do not need to be skimpy or shove ourselves into tight clothes to look sexy and/or attractive. Wisen up fashion industry!!

Sincerely,
A Pissed Off Lorraine

Hey Mely! Good to hear from you. I'm going to Scotland in a week! Want to come? In response to your comment:
Double 0's!! Double 0!? That's ridiculous...although I did hear something about the fashion industry downsizing clothes (ie making a 6 a 4 etc) in order to make people feel skinny again...evil evil beings.
