If something looks a little amiss about the model in the advertisement above—if her head looks a bit too big for her body, her torso a bit too compact to be natural, her arms, dear God her arms, doing things arms don’t do—all can be explained: Bikini Bay on Queen Street West apparently offers its models, like its swimsuits, in “mix & match.”
