I read in a magazine, that she has recently intentionaly lost weight and is now happy as a size 4 Shock something to do with a catwalk job she has coming up.

can you be a size 4 without the surgical removal of your internal organs?

Well, she does look dead from the neck down.

Is that a UK size 4 or a US one?

oops · 13/03/2006 23:34

Chandra · 13/03/2006 23:35

Form the neck down??? please....

turniphead · 13/03/2006 23:36

MUST be US size 4 - don't think you can get size 4 in UK can you?

turniphead · 13/03/2006 23:37

pictures of Olive Oyl dance in my head

far better to be a shapely turnip

biglips · 13/03/2006 23:38

yes its uk size 4 and jordan is size 4 too

JanH · 13/03/2006 23:40

US goes down to a 0 - when DD1 was working at a NY summer camp with 16-17yr olds last year there were size 0s amongst them.

Just googled - US 0 is an English 8 so US 4 would be UK 12 so she must mean UK 4

I know she is tiny but that's mad.

kiskidee · 13/03/2006 23:41

is her size 4 like the mythical 36-24-36 of all playboy models?

I'm a size 8 at 5 foot 4 and that is pretty skinny. wouldn't like to be any smaller.

JanH · 13/03/2006 23:44

Hm - just googled again, UK 4 is US 0 according to a designer dress agency - EU 30. That's still a silly size - her hips must be about 28!

suzywong · 13/03/2006 23:45

surely, from a man's point of view, that's too bony to keep one warm in bed of an evening

(I suppose someone is going to come on here claiming to be a size 4 and get shirty now - open forum and all)

soapbox · 13/03/2006 23:47

That would be right as she claimed to be a US 0. My ex SIl was a US2 and she was tiny (was short as well though).

I was once, very briefly, about a UK 10-12 - 28" waist mens jeans? I'm 6' and that was seriously skinny. (Then I had kids. Now I'm much larger! But she has had 3 herself Shock)

I could get that small.... but whhhyyyyyy?!!

suzywong · 13/03/2006 23:53

tee hee

ahhhhhh JanH, but did she????

That's unfair, I guess the reason we are all poo-poo-ing her statement is that she claims this as an achievement. But then I haven't read the article so I'm just gossiping really. Which is very unlike me.

harpsichordcarrier · 13/03/2006 23:55

yes well done her for not eating
woohoo
[bitterly]

i'm a 28 inch waist as a size 8. what sort of waist would a size 4 be? I would think more like 24 inches or 22. I used to be able to get into a size 4 US but that was when I weighed 7 stone and was no older than 24.

fastasleep · 14/03/2006 00:00

I have a 25 inch waist, and I'm a size 8 (in the hips though I spose) so I'd guess a four would be a 22 inch maybe 23 inch waist?

turniphead · 14/03/2006 00:02

my measurements used to be 22-22-22

but I was about 8

she is seriously disturbed

jampots · 14/03/2006 00:02

i used to have a 23" waist and was a size 8/10 but I had more curve (bigger ass) than VB
