Jenny Klopper
Jenny Klopper is an Australian fashion model that worked internationally in the 80s & 90s and was represented by Ursula Hufnagl Model Management (Sydney). Hugely popular in Australia, she was well known to all the teen girls as she graced the pages of Dolly magazine every month. "From builder's laborer to top model sounds hard to believe, doesn't it? But that's exactly what happened to Jenny Klopper! Two years ago, at 16, she was working at a building site (which she insists was great fun) and then someone introduced her to the infamous Graham Shearer, who asked her if she'd mind if he took some test shots of her. A few weeks later, Ursula Hufnagl Model Management phoned Jenny offering to fly her to Sydney to sign a modeling contract! "It was weird to go from laboring to modeling," said Jenny. "But I've never looked back." Jenny appeared on two Dolly covers, has featured on many pages of fashion magazines and recently some TV commercials for The Daily Mirror and Cleo. The highlight of my modeling career would probably be when I went to Bali for ten days. It was the first time I'd been away and I just loved it!" This year Jenny is off to Japan in September, then hopes to go to Paris. She's just returned to Sydney after spending a year in Melborne and Perth and is ready to get into hard work...but it won't only be modeling. "Well I've got this idea that I'd like to go to Darwin and be a jillaroo. You know, like a female jackaroo, rounding up sheep and stuff. It would be a great thing to do for awhile I think. I really want to see more of Australia." So from builder's laborer to model to jillaroo? Wow, Jenny! You wouldn't read about it!" -Excerpt from Dolly Magazine, Unknown date Hair: Dark Blond Eyes: Hazel Nationality: Australian

I LOVE the style of Dolly magazine layouts in the 80s!! The clothes are too fun...I do have one complaint about Dolly mag in the 80s and that is it's near complete lack of diversity in their models. Nearly all are white girls with blond hair...okay sometimes white girls with brown hair. 😋 I really think more diverse models would have been great with the fashion of the time!! They missed out.

Collette Roberts is a fashion model and pop singer from New Zealand that worked professionally throughout the 80s and is well known as one of Dolly magazine's cover girls- a very hip and popular teen magazine in Australia in the 80s & 90s. She is currently still modeling and is represented by Spectrum (Sydney). "Collette Roberts (born 1968), who performed mononymously as Collette, is a New Zealand-born, Australian-based model turned disco, pop singer during the late 1980s and early 1990s. She had a top five single on both the Australian and New Zealand singles charts in 1989 with her cover version of Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell". Collette's rendition was certified gold in Australia by ARIA. Sometimes considered a one-hit wonder, Collette had two other top 40 Australian hits in 1989 with "All I Wanna Do Is Dance" and "That's What I Like About You". She retired from her music career in 1995 and focused on her work as a stylist and make-up artist." "Collette Roberts was born in Christchurch, New Zealand.[1] She became a fashion model and relocated to Melbourne.[2] In 1988 she started working with Guy Gross in Sydney to co-write material for her proposed solo career.[3] They recorded demo tracks, which they took to Tony Briggs of CBS Records Australia; Briggs advised Roberts to attempt a cover version of one of four tracks, which included Anita Ward's 1979 hit, "Ring My Bell".[3] After recording a demo of that track, she was signed to CBS.[3]" -Excerpts from Wikipedia Additional links about Collette: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collette_Roberts https://ro.uow.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=2536&context=alr https://alchetron.com/Collette-Roberts http://www.spectrumagency.com.au/women/details/collette-roberts Height: 5'9" (1.75) Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue Nationality: New Zealand
