Vala Holmes

Carrie Salmon had the salmon tattoo on her foot in 1996, when we walked the Valentino ss 1997 rtw show together. You can see I (Vala Holmes) am shorter at 5’6”. Lee Alexander McQueen did not stencil the three (scorpion foot, arm wing, back of neck blotch) and EVERY TIME you see a buzz cut with those tattoos in 1997 it is me. Carrie had long hair all 1997, she did not walk in haute couture shoes with me, although she walked together in that Valentino, Valentino 1997 fw, Givenchy 1997 fall winter rtw, and the Westwood fw rtw 1997, Ozbek fw rtw 1997. Watch the YouTube or browse FirstView. She appears with a crew cut and scorpion foot tattoo in the special Victoria’s Secret show in January 1998. She even got credit officially for the Scene May/June 1997 cover and spread, but that is me. Here are my bottom teeth, which except for the cap are exactly the same. Vogue and Getty have given me enough (but not all) credits for you to see the difference.
