I wonder if the people who decide who's fat are straight men, because most men I know look at models and go "ick."

nope, it's other women. Just like women don't dress for men, they dress for other women.

Are Aussie sizes 8-12 smaller than US sizes 8-12, because I'm thinking maybe one of those women is a size 8, and the other two look like size 6.

Hard to tell I think. I was reading about the "zaftig" PR model that got Allison booted and Allison swore she was a size 10. She just didn't seem that much bigger than the others, who I assume are in the 2-4 range.

When standing next to the other models, she was bigger than the others, but not "zaftig" as Tim described her.

Oh, she clearly wasn't "zaftig" (which I think he was using as a euphemism for "bigger than the others") I just meant that she didn't seem that many sizes bigger. That (and seeing The Devil Wears Prada ) made me wonder if I had any idea what each size really looks like.

I thought about clicking on links to pictures of models, but decided thinking about the hotness of Vortex would be more rewarding.

I read an article somewhere that those Austrailian size 8-12s were the equivalent of US sizes 4-8.
