Anyone who wears larger than a size 12 is considered "plus size".

...which is NUTZ. I'm just saying . . .that is a beautiful WOMAN instead of all those twiggy little girls who are the non-plus sized models.

In modeling, I think it's actually a size 8 or 10 that's considered plus size.

Anyway, a few years ago, Gamma Phi Beta actually sent out a letter to all members telling them that a gal on that season's Real World was NOT a member. I think her name was Johanna, and I think it was the Austin season. She would wear her letters on camera, and she was often drunk (not necessarily while in letters) and hooking up with random guys. Apparently it alarmed members, because they felt the need to tell everyone that at one point she was a member, but that she had terminated her membership prior to going on the show.

On most of the couture retail shops I see, 12 is list in regular and 14 is listed as plus.

I know that. My point was that models who are average size at 8, 10 or 12 are considered plus size models. "Normal" models are sizes 0, 2 or 4.
