I don't understand sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for. 'Oooohhhh my God, you're thin!'

    Amen. One of the best compliments I ever got was "Wow, you are a lot like Ellen Degeneres"

    I was compared to Grace (Brett Butler)
  • Hi, size zero came along when all the other measurements became more generous. It used to be a size 2 twenty years ago. I sell vintage clothing on ebay, and all the sizes are off. For instance, as a teenager I wore a size 13 jeans, and that's now an 11, or even a 9 for some manufacturers. It's supposed to make us feel skinnier.

    By the same standard, if you hear about Marilyn Monroe or the old beauties wearing a size 8/10/12/14, in today's sizes that's like a 4/6/8/10 lalala.
