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.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

Right. And of course, there's the fact that different designers cut differently, so that the exact same body may be a 6 in one, but an 8 in another.
I remember that I was watching an episode of some 80's sitcom (I think it was The Nanny, if anyone cares), and they were in a modeling agency. One woman said to another "oh, you're a perfect size 6, you'll get a ton of work". SIX. I repeat SIX. and what's the average model now, a 0? double 0 ?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

In Pretty Woman JR is a size 6.

Allison swore she was a size 10
Then Allison has never seen a size 10 person. Her model had wider hips and shoulders than your average model, but still no visible fat or muscle on either.
And of course, there's the fact that different designers cut differently, so that the exact same body may be a 6 in one, but an 8 in another.
This is true too -- if you're not making ready-to-wear, do size numbers have any relevance at all? It shouldn't matter what jean size she wears if her measurements are right on the table in front of you.

Of course, she also said she was a 6-8, which didn't sound (look?) right either.

I voted! DOWN WITH SCHAEFER! I love voting. No lines for my precinct at all. May have to switch to evening voting.
As I was walking the gauntlet of campaign workers, refusing literature, I finally got to this one guy who just grinned at me and said "You've already made up your mind." "Yes, sir." "That's awesome! ..even if you aren't voting for my dude!" It just cracked me up.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I voted! DOWN WITH SCHAEFER!
Amen. I'm off to do the same. Hopefully, there will be no lines at my precinct either.
