Team Estrogen's models are the people who work there, I think. They do so much with a small staff that I'm fine with the lack of people in most product photos.

I do agree that Terry should hire a few plus-sized models.
Oh, I won't disagree. Just because there are decades of studying "standard" proportions doesn't mean anything in the long run. But there's a wider variety of ways for weight to be distributed as sizes increase, and there are almost no constants in the plus sized industry. Some manufacturers design exclusively for apples, for example. Some change the shape depending on size - a 12-18 will fit an hourglass, but larger sizes are for pears, etc. I read a fascinating article about a year ago discussing this and I wish I could find it.
