Rant of the day...

Clothing: From a Skinny Girl's Point of View
I am usually a size 0 and wear an XXS or XS shirt.
Now -
I fucking hate how the world is getting larger and leaving me behind.
Yes, I do mean clothing sizes and people sizes.
This is nowhere near meant to insult the larger people reading, so read forth and you'll get exactly what I'm intending to say [hopefully].
Jeans
I am a size 00 in jeans. And I'm not bragging about it, I HATE it.
Nope, not a zero anymore like I was for the longest time, a DOUBLE zero. And you know why that is?
Because the world is getting larger, so clothing maunfacturers have to adjust their sizes.
Now, I don't know about you, but I've searched EVERY store for a 00 and only ONE had it. That would be PacSun. Which means, in the jean area, I am shit out of luck.
What the fuck?
And I know it's not me losing weight, because I'm up to 108 now and I'm damn happy of it. I haven't grown since the 9th grade, minus some breastage [thank god].
Last year, I could walk into any department store, go to the jeans section, put on a pair of 0's and come out smiling because they fit me perfectly. NOT ANYMORE. The jeans that fit me the absolute best were Mudd's. Now the fucking waistband-things are TOO DAMN BIG.
I mean, they fit my ass perfectly, but I sure as hell don't want to wear a pair of jeans where the waistband sticks out four to six inches. Even with a belt, it looks pretty fucking funny.
Don't even get me started on American Eagle. I can't fit into ANY of their clothing. Their XS tees fits me like a medium would in Aeropostale. And I'm sorry I wear form-fitting clothing, but to me, it's the most comfortable and not restricting. Not to mention their jeans. My friend Sara, who is a three, I believe, can fit the zeros there perfectly. I put on the zeros, and they literally fell down to my ankles. They have some serious sizing issues.
What bothers me more is when people who normally wear like a 13 [which there is NO problem with, I wish I had a little more on my bones, but I'm built like this and I can't help it] go into American Eagle and start bragging about how they wear a size 7. Now, I KNOW they don't because my MOM is a 7 and she's 5'6" and 120 lbs.
Next one:
Bras
In addition to jeans, bra manufacturers are also starting to crap out the smaller boobed people.
In case you didn't know, I wear a 32B. That is THE hardest size to find. It's not so much the B cup that I can't find, it's the damn 32 part. The smallest I see anymore is a 34. If I get a 34, the stupid bra either falls down or it is loose and makes me look flappy. I go to a department store and this is EXACTLY how it goes:
Me: "Hm.. 34B, 34C, 34A, 36D, 36A, 36B, -gasp!- 32! SHIT It's an A! I can't wear an A or my boobs fall out! hmm.. 38DD, 34D, 36B, 36B, 36C, 36C, 36C, 36C, 34A.
You know how Victoria's Secret usually has awesome bras?
Since really twiggy people like myself usually wear 32A, those are usually abundant.
And since nobody wears a 32C, 32D, or 32DD, those are never stocked.
I guess nobody as skinny as me wears a B cup as well.
Anytime I find a 32[which is rare in the first place], it's a AA or A cup, not a B cup.
You people who wear a 34 and above, consider yourself lucky that you can find bras with the right band size.
You know, it wasn't too too long ago that I could go into department stores and you'd see loads of 32 AA, 32A, 32B, 32C.
Not anymore. -cry-
Well. There's my point of view. Agree or disagree, I want to hear it.
