Ok there is this new trend called the #A4waist Challenge, it currently trending on social media especially the once own by Chinese. The challenge is actually to celebrate Asian ladies with thinning waist. So a lot of people are taking the opportunity to showcase their thinning figure measuring it with an A4 Paper...

 It seems like the never-ending quest for the “ideal” body has resulted in a series of bizarre memes. In recent months, we’ve seen people posting pictures of their thigh gaps, belly buttons and pens under their b**bs, causing us to wonder who even came up with these challenges in the first place.

Now, it looks like the Internet has gone one step further to pressure women to prove that they have tiny midriffs with the “A4 waist challenge.” For the challenge, women are required to take photos of themselves with a piece of A4 printer paper in front of their waists. The width of an A4 paper is eight inches, and women are trying to prove that their waistlines are narrower than that.

Oops! Weather Girl accidentally exposes her b00bs on live TV

Roxana Vancea, 25, was reading the forecast on a Romanian channel when she decided to start exercising in front of the weather map, apparently to illustrate that it might be nice to be outdoors. But as she was running and throwing her arms up in the air, her breasts popped out of her low-cut top to reveal her nipples. She initially appeared not to notice the slip-up and continued to jump up and down. 

After bouncing up and down for a few more minutes she finally re-adjusted her t-shirt. The camera then cut to her colleagues at another desk, who looked dumbstruck by what they had witnessed. My question is, did she not notice her type of dress before bouncing around as she was in a bouncing castle?
