Are they more interesting before or after they are airbrushed? Are they more interesting when they are or are not talking? What is it for which they are models? What does the term "model" mean when talking about a "fashion model"?

an ordered list, even (or do you consider that redundant?)

by the way, having zipped through recent messages in this thread, I think going back to the glossary on what "we" mean when we use the term "relation" in this forum might help clarify some confusion. Then again, maybe not -- bring on the fashion models.
