I can't remember the exact numbers but the average model represented about 80% of the female population in the U.S. in 1980. Now that number has gone higher than 90%. I will find the exact data. [quote=Mutterlein]

I don't mean this as an attack to your quote but I have just taken one fashion class and it said that models is in the upper 10% of the average height and the lower 5% in weight.... basically, they are too tall and too skinny and US average size is 12.
