Victoria Beckham, who shills her own line of Rock & Republic jeans (ranging in price from $180 to $266), recently had trouble keeping any jeans from designer David Bitton from falling off. The brand’s smallest size - 24 (a size 0 in the U.S.) - was just too damn big for her 23 inch waist, so naturally, Bitton created a new size just for Victoria’s bony ass.

According to the designer’s spokesperson:

“Posh’s stylist called the sales team at David Bitton and they sent her three sizes: 23, 24, 25. She chose the 23 to keep as it fitted her the best. They had those jeans specially made for her as they don’t normally go below a size 24.”

In the U.S., this newly invented size is known as a “00″ and is all the rage with the Nicole Richie crowd. As if this isn’t disturbing enough, a “00″ is the equivalent of The Gap jeans fitting a seven-year old child, which should be physically impossible to achieve for a woman who has given birth three times.

“[D]on’t those double digits, which even added together amount to nothing, fill you with dread? Here we are, post-feminism, post-Thatcher, in the era of Condoleezza Rice, in essence saying that, physically, the best a woman can aspire to is . . . well, to disappear. And not just once. Twice. To be a nought and double it. As the sartorial expression of a culture obsessed with female emaciation, it is perfection. As a trend it is deeply disturbing.”

To say the very least, it is disconcerting that any man would want to bang Victoria Beckham, especially since anorexic muscle wastage could likely have some unintended side effects down there. Yep, you read that correctly.

At any rate, Victoria’s name popped up in a list of ten nominees for the Most Thinspirational Celebrity, but sadly, she lost this coveted title to Mary Kate Olsen. Ahem. A Yahoo Q/A forum perhaps best articulated the point:

Question: “because i wear a 0 or a 1. If a 24 is not a size 0 or 1, then what should i get?”

Answer: “You should get a cheesburger and fatten urself up”

Exactly. That, my dahling lurkers, would be the gravaman of the case. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go tone my muscles.
