In yesterday's Times Magazine (UK) there was an article by Louise France on the fashion industry using 'plus size' models. She wrote (of one of the models)

... She has the kind of healthy, athletic body that makes me think of Swallows and Amazons and cheese and pickle sandwiches.

Hmmmm. That's a reference to a model called Inga Eiriksdottir. When I think of AR's Amazons, I think of something like Pauline and Georgina Rawdon-Smith. It's actually quite hard to think of anybody more different... And I'm making allowances for poetic/journalistic licence.

But however grotesque the comparison, it's still pleasant to see SA being used as a modern reference...
