Default Label doesn't bother me

You know, I'm a size 8 and let me tell you, I have plenty of "plus" hanging off my bootie and thighs. I think when you're a model, you just have an amazingly low body fat percetage - well of course.

The label of plus doesn't bother me at all. I know what I look like and even if they called an 8 a minus, I'd still want to lose the extra 20 pounds you know? These things tell us about labels, but not about who we are. How much does it matter? Certainly not enough for me to worry about.

Don't get bent out of shape. If they said, "Anyone size 8 and above is now a can-opener size" you wouldn't worry, because the word is meaningless. Well, frankly, so is the word "plus" unless you give it meaning.

Perception is everything.
