What's the plural for "model"??
Wondering if we can zero in on a collective noun for models. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns I'd like to go with a "murder of models." But some other appropriate options include... a herd of models a swarm of models a flock of models IDEAS?? Nov 26 12 08:59 am Link A gaggle of models. A scream of models. A genus of models. A clique of models. A cluster of models. An annoyance of models. A chant of models. A bosom of models. A rabble of models. A corral of models. Nov 26 12 09:01 am Link I'd go with cluster. If you haz nookies wit dem, den u haz a cluster ffffffu... Nov 26 12 09:07 am Link A Flake of Models? Edit: ("A cluster of models" sounds good!) Nov 26 12 09:09 am Link Ezhini wrote: Fantastic!

A brouhaha of models. For photographers? Hmm. Since so many shoots seem to be under the guise of career advancement for models or an empty promise made by a photographer... A ruse of photographers.

Nov 26 12 10:18 am Link I think it depends on what kind of model we're talking about. I therefore propose the following collective nouns for various sub-categories. Fashion/catwalk - "A clatter" Glamour/booty - "A tumescence" Commercial - "A smile" Nude/Art - "A lady garden" Pinup - "A pout" Alt - "A doodle" And last, but by no means least... Fit - "A pincushion" Just my $0.02 Ciao Stefano www.stefanobrunesci.com Nov 26 12 10:28 am Link -B-R-U-N-E-S-C-I- wrote: A lady garden of models?
