I probably should have said "give the apperance" of a more slender body shape, because that's essentially what it does, rather than to imply it physically lengthens muscles. I can usually tell when a person has been practicing Pilates because they tend to walk taller with a more elongated look to the body. I think it helps if your body type lends itself to that look anyway.
On the other question, body type models, I haven't really thought about it. I tend to be appear taller and leaner than I am, with a classic ruler shape: thin arms and legs with no waist definition.
