Now all you need is an inscrutable thread title, and a gaudy signature to advertise the thread.

OH GOOD JOB!!! Thanks!

OH GOOD JOB!!! Thanks!

I do! And especially that last one. She is so young! Thanks Sheila!

For some reason the tribute would not play for me. I'll try again later. But that Entertainment Tonight clip was great, punk! Thanks for posting! By the way, welcome to Bellazon!

Well, if you're going to post new/unseen Niki, I mean, I'll clarify anything I see.

That's a great collection Emilia! Thank you!!!

Agree. That's a very pretty picture with her.

She talks about Wiseguy, the television series she appeared in. I really wanted to see that. Wiseguy was from Stephen J Cannell, who also did The Rockford Files and Quincy and The Greatest American Hero, and A-Team. I had Joan's episodes of Wiseguy as #1 on my rental list through Blockbuster for fourteen months, but could never get it.

Hi lucien, Your site is good! People don't realize that it's a lot of work to put something like that together, and I think you have done a nice job. Two things I liked: 1. I could see the gallery organized either alphabetically or chronologically. That's good. 2. Navigation is easy. You didn't load the site down with lots of flashy graphics, or require FLASH. I won't use FLASH, so there are some sites I can't browse at all. I had no problem with yours. Nice job, lucien! (Y)

Hi Korravai! Let me try: A couple of pages back, someone had asked for confirmation on a picture that they thought might be Niki Taylor. Lisa confirmed that it was in fact not Niki. In her reply, though, Lisa accidentally clicked on and quoted the wrong message (and that message included pictures that really were Niki). That probably made things even worse/more confusing? If so, seriously, don't worry about it. We're all good in the thread now. I think.

Hi Lisa! Welcome to Bellazon! Glad you joined! I visit your Krissy and Niki sites. You have a great collection, and thank you for sharing! Do you know the original source for this picture (from the Taylor family site for Krissy): http://www.krissytaylor.com/C/gallery.html The site just lists it as "solo", without an attribution.

It's Kristy Hinze. Bonus ID: I bet this was scanned by PhilA, and you will find it in Kristy's thread! Kristy Hinze on BZ

That seemed more amusing when I wrote it (most of my attempts at humor). Yes, I think so! Pretty Valeria! Yeah!

Good job reti (Y) There were pictures I had seen before/admired, that I never knew were her.

Oh that's great! Thanks very much! (also, thank you for including the link to her thread. that's really helpful.)

Wish I could return the favor for all the model-IDs you have helped me with. Unfortunately I do not know the model. (I thought the second shot looked a little like Kim Smith -- do you see that, or is it just me?) I tried searching for "d dynamite", but I didn't really turn up anything. Is it modeling agency, or a product of some kind?

I think you are right! Thank you very much!

Thank you all! That's really terrific!

Many thanks in advance. 11 ads from New York Magazine, 1985 to 1989. Issues and pages in filenames.

Many thanks in advance. 15 (small, low-quality) from New York Magazine, Fashion Week Collections, Spring 1990 to Spring 1993. Issues and pages in filenames; designers in images; models unknown! 1, 2: 3, 4: 5, 6: 7, 8: 9, 10, 11: 12, 13: 14: 15:

Welcome! If I remember correctly, I also found a (I think it was Russian-language) David Lynch fansite, that had several "Gio" commercials. If I find the link again I'll post it.

Has really no one an opinion about this? I´m sad I´m only getting a reply or "thanks" when I´ve posted scans, but when I ask a question there´s big silence around. I'm sorry about that missparker! I've been a little bit busy and haven't had enough time to visit all the threads that I like. Based only on the advertisement that you quoted, it is unclear whether the seller was selling a wet-process photographic print made from the original camera negative (more expensive) OR if they were selling a print made from a scan of a negative (less expensive). In each case, the print could be on KODAK paper from a KODAK lab. Based on the two images you posted, I would guess that the seller scanned the negative and then sent that scan to the lab to be printed. The text on the back makes it reasonably clear that the image was digitized prior to printing. The seller could have brought the negative to the lab and then had the lab scan that negative, but a professional lab would most likely work in a lossless format like TIFF, and not JPEG, so I believe it is much more likely that the seller scanned it. Also, this appears to be a rather poor quality scan/print. It is covered with dust and lint marks (possibly, also some damage to the emulsion). A (good) lab would never have that kind of debris on their scanner. If that debris is on the original negative, a (good) pro lab would have blown it off before scanning. But if it is part of the negative, there is not much you can (cheaply) do. It is difficult to say. That might be a true representation of what the negative looks like at its best (so, the print you got really is "excellent quality"). But I would guess that this print is from a low quality scan, and a little bit of attention could have produced a much better scan. I don't know what the "xdf" signifies. It could indicate some kind of KODAK process, or proprietary technology. It could be totally random and meaningless. About the "soft focus" (not clear/sharp), I would guess that it is part of the original picture. It is possible that the seller's scanner is out of alignment, but I think the original photographer probably missed on focus (probably a tough shot). If this were a wet-process print, it would be possible that the print was made out of focus, but first of all, a pro lab would be very unlikely to make a mistake like that, and also, this was most probably not a wet-process print. I don't have all the information. My hypothesis: I believe that the seller scanned the negative and did not attempt to correct dust marks or scratches. They sent that scan to a lab via email/upload. The lab sent back a print. The seller sent you that print.

Thank you! (again -- I think you told me about that site last year too It's a nice site. Especially since I really like Valeria Mazza too, and he has a nice little gallery.) Thank you domitille!

I think you are right! I totally did not recognize Sophie. (this is where I need the emoticon for "slaps head") It's also, I think, the earliest thing I have seen with her. 1992 ~ she would be eighteen or nineteen in that ad, I think.
