More on Size Zero
British magazine Stella and model agency ICM are "joining the fight against size zero" by putting on a competition for ladies size 12 - 16.
The winner gets "introduced" to ICM, a thousand pounds (the money kind), and possibly a ham.
And while there are great quotes that go on about "reflecting the true size of women in this country" and "size ain't nothing but a number, baby," and "mmm, mmm, mmm, bootylicious!" and "size zero is an evil force of evil that must be stopped before there is more evil," and so on (quotes may have been paraphrased, somewhat), I can't help but think that "introduction" is going to go nowhere, and the number of size 12-16 models at ICM will increase by zero. (Zero! See what I did there?)
Anyway. Am I just too cynical?

"possibly a ham"?! HA! it's why i love you, mo' betta pie!
yeah, i wouldn't waste my cynicism on the modeling business, because, as lily thomlin said, "no matter how cynical you get, you can never keep up."
That was anne's post, not mo pie's, but yes, this is definitely one of the countless reasons that I worship at the altar of anne.
oops, sorry! love it, anne!
Oh yeah, ham jokes = anne.
