Women’s Clothing

Being mathematically inclined I like for things to numerically make sense. It was in this process of piecing life together that i came across this most disturbing LIFE OCCURRENCE. By LIFE OCCURRENCE I mean something that exists in life that we all have come in contact with at some point or another. I shall be discussing LIFE OCCURRENCEs from time to time in my musings. Oops, I lost my train of thought, huh? Well, recently I came face to face with this LIFE OCCURRENCE which has always been there but I had never given much thought to, when suddenly I gave it a thought (just one) and my brain began to hurt. A lot!!

 

So, you are wondering, “What is this LIFE OCCURRENCE he is talking about? Why is he stalling? Can’t he get to the point? Is it that he simply likes to write in capital letters, “LIFE OCCURRENCE”, or is he actually going somewhere with this?”

 

FINE, FINE, ALREADY. I’ll tell you what this LIFE OCCURRENCE is. It’s women’s clothes. Now don’t get the wrong idea there, champ. I’m talking about how they size them. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

 

The truth is that in men’s clothing, if you have a 34 inch waist, it doesn’t matter where you go, you can pretty much get a pair of pants that say “34″ and you’ll be OK… for the most part anyway. But with women’s clothing? NOOOOOOOOO. Forget waist or bust size. Their sizes are 2,4,6,etc. For that matter you can have a 6 top and a 10 bottom, or vice versa, which makes buying a dress a nightmare. Is a woman supposed to just buy the 10 in this case or does she split the difference and just get an 8? OUCH, my head hurts again. But what really kills me about sizing women’s dresses is the idea of a size “0″. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? How can you wear a size zero? Zero means nothing… so does that mean that no cloth is used or needed? IF ONLY!! No, that simply means that you are really small. But how small. And what if you are a size zero and you lose weight? Are you a size “negative two” now? I mean how ZERO can you be? I guess numbers are kept small so that a woman’s self esteem won’t get too low. Thanks to this sizing system you’ll never have to hear a woman say, “Yes, I’d like this in a 52.” The HORROR!

 

So, I’m sure you’re wondering if I have a solution to this problem. Of course not. I am just TOO busy looking for another LIFE OCCURRENCE to muse on. Excuse me, I think I see one now. OUUUUUCHHHH!!!
