It would be nice if Bellazon WOULD TELL US WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN so that folks can download or backup their stuff. I keep saying that we need a 'fire escape' for the gang here. Just a place we can regroup if it goes down for good. Discord would be a good choice. Yes?

When I scan, I use a hand planer to *carefully* remove the spine and glue, usually a mm or two. This gives you the whole page. Message me if you want pictures and all the gory details.

...aaaand we're back. That was two days this time? I'm thinking of making a Discord server as a backup for here. It would be a 'fire escape' or common meeting point if/when this place goes down again, maybe for good next time. Comments?

Hey! Many of us are kind, gentle, sensitive, loving, compassionate, supportive, understanding and just plain good...no make that great folks. I help my wife (of 42 years) with her gardens and her huge (and still growing) stamp collection even though I consider both hobbies to be stupid and senseless.

I have plenty of those pictures already. Every time I see a Jaguar, especially an E-Type, in a fashion ad, I stash it away. Jags where used a lot since they where seen as 'sexy' and fashionable...just like me.... ..ok, stop laughing.....no really, you can stop laughing now.

It's a Lambourghini Countach LP500..... .....oops sorry, I thought I was in the car forum. :-)

WhoooH! Site went 404 yesterday for about 12 hours. Welcome back, that was scary!

She's Genevieve Brabrant. Wow!....my first ID! Do I get a cookie?

It's nice when you read about a model that eventually got a regular (more normal?) career, got married, had kids, STAYED married (and happily so), and generally had a happy and satisfying life. It wasn't all bad I guess.

I'm old enough that I fondly remember the mail order catalogues from the 70's and 80's. I'd see the same women over the span of a decade or more and now wonder who they where. It may not have been glamorous work but it was certainly steady.

I'm not so sure that the new owner is opening or closing it on purpose. The last 'open' seemed to be a back door or something mistakenly left unlinked(?). I get the feeling that the new owner has no idea what to do with the place and is just stumbling along. It could be a fan who bought it but is now overwhelmed with the task of making it available, or someone with dreams of making big money by offering membership and has either lost interest or is also overwhelmed.

....aaand a happy New Years to all of you here! Thanks for all the model ID's, my repository is growing and I'll be putting these on my Tumblr blog and eventually my Flickr account along with my bridal magazine scans. I've been exploring AI and as soon as I finished the present batch of scans, I'll be loading up Stable diffusion and want to play with some of my scans. I have so many gorgeous gowns and intend to swap faces for models I find more attractive.

It's fun that you knew what the car was. A friend of mine had one for several years. He also had a couple of 2CVs. Great cars all.

*sigh* I'm still seeing lots (lots and LOTS) of various sellers with many different titles, none of which have anything to do with fashion models. Most of the books are about business management. You NEED to supply your seller ID number, THAT will uniquely identify you. How about a screenshot of one of your auctions?

Searching for the book you quoted brings up many (many, MANY!) different sellers and your name doesn't return any results. You need to state your seller ID number.

Ahhhhhh....I've never used the search page and didn't know one existed. All I ever did was browse, searching for my mystery bride model. Thanks a bunch!

All I get is a log-in page. I don't remember ever having to use a password and I don't have one stored in any of my browsers. This must be new? I've been hoping that it comes back online, even if it requires a membership.

I hope they're working on the new site, 'Golden Age of Print'. I've got tons of scans from bridal magazines with the model's identified that I hope to donate to the site.

I found the 'Dozydawn' Tumblr blog and grabbed some ID's. She posts a lot of stuff from bridal magazines and has recently began adding names to them. Does anyone know if the person is on here? They don't accept messages unless they're following you and I guess I'm not worthy. My 42,000 images from bridal magazines don't cut it?

What-where is this 'computer match face scan you mention? This would be crazy handy for me. I've got a few 'possibles' I'd like to check out. Thanks bunches!

I found this picture in some blog somewhere (then promptly forgot which one). It sure looks like her but I can find no other information by searching her name.

I don't believe that Bellazon allows linking to anything that might be 'self promoting' so I messaged you with the link.

I'm new to this thread, and as much as I appreciate the work involved with posting, it's disappointing that so many of the older pics have gone into the Twilight Zone and disappeared. I scan older bridal magazines and have over 42,000 scans. Posting them in any forum would be crazy time consuming, so here's what I'm now doing. This might be applicable to this thread to get the older pictures out there. I have a Tumblr blog where I post. You can post 250 pictures a day in sets of 30 at a time. This takes me less than 10 minutes every morning. The pictures can be up to 2048 x 3072 pixels. The best part is that there's free software that lets you download EVERYTHING at once. The program is on GitHub and is called TumblThree. I've found this to be an easy (and FREE!) way to get my thousands of scans out into the wild for others to enjoy. Anyone is free to message me for the links if you want.

Thanks for the reply but I don't see a resemblance. Just recently I saw the following picture of Gale ingram here, http://picturesofbeautifulwomen.blogspot.com/2011/09/model-gale-ingram.html Gale looks much like my mystery lady but I can't find any other references to her.

Great find! I'm downloading and saving them using 4K video downloader. https://www.4kdownload.com/-43
