numbers
10,9,8,6,5,4,3,2,1…0
Number… A member of the set of positive integers; one of a series of symbols of unique meaning in a fixed order that can be derived by counting.
Are used to classify people
Man made ideas of ideals and sizes
Go hand in hand with mans creation of numbers
As technology gets slimmer
Society finds the need to push past phones, TV’s, tablets
Getting slimmer and slimmer
Ten years ago models such as Tyra Banks and Cindy Crawford
Were seen as the skinniest and fittest women alive!
But they wore size 6
Ten years later, in today’s judgmental world they would have been seen as plus size
And would’ve never modeled
I would say were beating technology in the race to be the thinnest …
Many strive to be a 2 or the exceptional 0
Who knows the next new number in ten years?
0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9,-10
Where does this appalling continuum end?
Instead of numbers we should be seen as confident, sexy, curvy, vivacious, and fit
Not a 6 or 2 or even an 8
I am a 6… well wait let me correct myself
I am confident, fit, and myself
I don’t need a number to tell me my worth
Man created the number the number did not create the man
Athletic, beautiful, build, confident, curvy, gorgeous, lean, magnificent, one of a kind, sexy
What are you?
