    This 'Lisa Parker' model. I found her on an old YouTube video for Tab cola from 1983. She looks a LOT like one of my mystery models from various catalogues including some bridal magazines.
    Could she be the same lady?

    Thank you very much! That chrome "T..." made me think. Thanks also to Phil. It's a car that is used a lot in fashion photos, I seem to remember one, green and beautiful, in a Niki Taylor ed...

    I've been collecting pics of Jaguar E-Types used in advertising.  There's a LOT, even today.  For a car that was last made 50 years ago, it sure has staying power.

     

    Hi, can I make a suggestion?....
    When you (and others) list a whole bunch of models like this, I have almost no idea which name goes with which picture.  An example here is the model shown in 'Charles on the Ritz' picture.  She looks a LOT like a lady I've been trying to identify for years but I don't know what name (if any) you've ID's her as.
    Thanks ever so much.
    Rob.

    We don't know the entire content of the site...

    That brings up a suggestion that I'd like to make.  Over in the Vintage 'Naughty' Forum there's a section for solved identifications.  People make either a PDF or stick a bunch of the ladies pictures on one sheet (with Photoshop) and post it.  There's always some text included on the sheet with personal info and dates active.
    This makes an excellent resource since ALL id's are in one place and are quick-n-easy to browse.  Most of us download them and keep them for our own database.

    I feel that this should be implemented here.  It sure would save a lot of searching.

    Thank you. :flower: This looks like a amusement park only. I think these are harmless.:smile:

    Confirmed...says the former Air Force weapons tech.  They're air rifles with the air supply disconnected.

    I am a dinosaur too. I think I am one of the oldest people around here.

    I believe we had this conversation not long ago.  I've found that many (most?) online forums are inhabited mostly by the older and younger folks.  We're retired and have the time to dabble in our life-long hobbies, while younger folks are enjoying developing these interests.  The late 20's and older are busy with careers and family and so have little time for these shenanigans.  I see the same in the many graphics forums and Discord servers I take part in.

    I'm 68 and peddled (on a non-electric bike) 12,373 kms this year!  So don't call me decrepit.

    Ladies can appreciate cars too.  My wife knows the difference between a Stromberg, Weber and SU carburettor.
    She doesn't care about them but she knows.

    It's mostly the way of looking at the camera. Unfortunately it's not Clotilde. image.png.7032f4ae000d740c63f8930538d574cd.png

    Do you mean the model I posted?  I know she's not Clotilde Christian Colby.  I was referring to the model in the Ralph Lauren Tuxedo perfume ad.  SHE looks a lot (exactly?) like my mystery model.  I have dozens of images of her and know that gorgeous face well.  It's been haunting me since I first saw her modelling in the early 90's in a bridal magazine. 

    Thanks for your input.  I've been thinking of offering a Starbucks gift coupon for successful ID of this model.  The lady who runs the Tumblr blog 'DozyDawn' took a stab at it last year, using some facial recognition service she subscribes too but it drew a blank.

    She looks a lot like the model I've been trying to ID for years.  The lady in question modelled only for Demetrios bridal around 1990 plus a lingerie magazine from the time...

    I store the rarest scans on my computer, of course I also delete most of them because... It's impossible to store it all. :yes:

    I follow the 'data hoarders' sub Reddit on Reddit and they have some excellent guides to archiving stuff. 
    I'll make a thread on BlueAcadia's new site regarding archiving for the cheapskate.

    I wonder why these sellers doesn´t reduce the price. What they´re waiting for?:idk:

    Greed...good old fashioned greed.  Probably a bit of pig-headedness too.  A person will see a magazine being offered for say $180 and thinks, "That's what it's 'going for.'"

    It's not 'going for' that much, it's just what someone is asking.  They don't follow it and see what it sells for, if it sells at all.  They get it in their head that this is what it's worth and that figure sticks.  Every month or two the seller will drop the price a few bucks but of course it makes no difference.  I mentioned this to Ebay but of course they won't listen to me, while in the same breath they complain that sales are waaaaay down.  They need to bring back listing fees.  I also watch car parts for my vintage car and see the same problem.  The smart sellers listing for low prices, get a bunch of people into a bidding war and wind up selling while the greedy so-n-so's watch their items sit there for months.
