I'm sure the car accident was a big factor too.

And most of those girls are several years older than Niki - Linda is 10 years older. I wonder if part of it might be because Niki hit big at such an early age - she was a teen supermodel, practically a household name when she was still in high school. So her image was really young, which doesn't carry over so well to her 30's. Kind of like a movie star who hit in her teen years. I have to admit I don't care for the big tattoo on her arm myself, though. Stephanie's ankle tattoo is nice, but I don't like large tattoos on girls, which so many of them seem to be going in for these days.

My favorite picture of Amanda. I always thought she had an incredibly beautiful face.

Shows that she's sexy and beautiful no matter what.

I love a nice belly chain. (Yamila, second row, rightmost)

Elaine Irwin Maybe so. Thought she was Tatjana Patitz.

Definitely. One of the most perfect blondes ever. Back in her VS heyday, I used to say that if I could have all the VS girls one after another (sigh), she'd be the one I'd save for last.

Daniela. I like the main photo too, but the inset pic just slays me. Anybody have it in better resolution?

Yes, that's Annette in the middle - just a different look for her. And Karen Alexander on the right - very cute; I always liked her. I don't know Maureen Gallagher, but the face is familiar (and definitely not Kara's).

I recently found that this lovely Niki Taylor bikini shot is actually from a 1992 VS catalog! I had no idea; I thought she had only done regular clothes for them. The girl we only wish had done lingerie modeling, sigh.

Also, if they wanted the center girl to showing off an hour-glass figure in a tight dress, the brunette would have been better here too.

I agree that Angie Everhart would have been better here. As for Amber, I'd say which Amber? She changed so freakishly. Anyway, isn't the canonical order blonde, brunette, redhead?

I continue to ravish the web for pictures of the ravishing Jill, who is such an eye-treat. I think the first one is my favorite of this bunch:

wow! outstanding.... any idea what catwalk it is? year? looks about 1992 to me Afraid not. That site doesn't give years for the catwalks section.

Wavy-haired, red-lipsticked, delightfully bra-less, and utterly lovely: (from Stef's site)

Thanks, guys.

I'm really curious what her life was like in high school. I know she was a valedictorian and all. Was she considered the hottest girl in the school? Etc,

Fascinating! I see now where that 1989 Photo cover I posted came from. Interesting how much more ethnic she looks in this shoot then in her later ones. Proves my saying: all the great 90's models were originally 80's models!

Interesting pics! Never saw her with those big 80's eyebrows before.

Some more early VS shots of the lovely Jill:

Does Google Glass count? What a beautiful face! Wonder who she is...

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Though sometimes your can change your mind. I didn't like Yasmeen at first based on the first pictures I saw, but then she really grew on me. Even Cindy at first. But my opinion of most other models I didn't like at first never changed much. I think the other thing is your "beauty bandwidth". There's only so many models you can be into at one time. Meghan Douglas for example I completely missed during her heyday, even though I'd heard of her.
