Valeria is the June cover of Woman Spain. See Judith's post on the BWGreyscale forum: http://www.bwgreyscale.com/discussion_boar...opic.php?t=8583

Gorgeous! Had not seen that one before.

Oh, I think there are fans of Christie's around here. I'm certainly here. Or I think I'm here. <_< And I don't know a better forum. I think what happens for some of the "classic" models is they aren't as popular, so fewer people post less often, and also visit in general less often. I don't visit the forum everyday, for example, and if the Niki Taylor (Karen Mulder, Stephanie Seymour, Valeria Mazza, Ashley Richardson, ...) thread slips past Page 2 or 3, I won't catch it. And the forum moves fast. And I don't always have time to make a post. Even a quick reply. Don't sweat it. The lurkers love Christie, I'm sure.

Interesting. The photographs of her that I think of first (the SI cover, and so on), I realize are not traditional poses. Interesting observation about her as a model. Roger Rosenblat too, apparently. I liked his commentaries on the NewsHour, and I've been curious about his play, especially given the title. http://www.curtainup.com/ashleymontana.html . Seems like it has a good cast. I find Alibris is a good resource for used books, too. They (currently) are showing a softcover for $12. http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?q...listing*buyused . If it's not there when you click, I bought it.

Yes, I think so too. I liked her dress, and she looked pretty in it. The interview segment she had on the Late Show with David Letterman was amusing. She talked about vacationing in Hawaii and becoming a certified diver. With blonde hair, I didn't recognize her at first.

Love that one. Great photograph.

I can't seem to quote the specific image. But ... Karen is one of my favorite models, and I don't remember seeing that collared tuxedo dress/runway picture before. Gorgeous! Super! Nice to see Karen!

Wow! It's an Estelle CeLefeburation! Very cool. I had not seen some of those before. Good model.

Goooooood neck.

Thanks for the link.

Actually, I do. I think you got it right describing her. Has sort of a different look. "Unusual" was a good adjective.

Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe! http://todayspictures.slate.com/20070531/

Such a simple picture and so beautiful.

Hello. Yes, me too. Maybe not a big fan, but I do think she was a good model, and very pretty. I would also say, statuesque. There used to be a good site dedicated to fashion photographers and models of the 80s, but I don't know anymore. This site is pretty good on "classic" models. You could also try the Fashion Spot, http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/ .

Interesting article. I didn't realize that her personal life was that tumultuous.

Ils sont nouveaux à moi.

Wow. Lots of nice work there. I particularly liked the Marie Claire cityscape edit. Nice. I didn't think RISING SUN was a great movie, but I thought she was cute in it.

Wow. Had never seen some of those before. Very cool. She was a great model. Very cool.

Love Valeria. I think she was an excellent model. I don't know why she wasn't more popular. Even in this thread she hardly gets a mention. Very cool. Very interesting to see which frames they liked.

Congratulations on your degree and good luck in your career! Did you write a thesis? Was it a pictorial history of Marisa Miller?

Hi. If you like Bridget, she has also been in several movies: She had smaller parts in films like LORD OF WAR or SUM OF ALL FEARS (opposite Nicolas Cage and Ben Affleck, respectively), also THE RECRUIT (Al Pacino and Colin Farrell), and so on. She was in SEX AND THE CITY (the TV series), as the model who married "Mister Big".http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005256/

Agree. Interesting comparison, esp. since the VS show just aired. Seymour and Casta or Pestova. Agree. Excellent model.

Excellent. Excellent model. I never realized that they put the model's name on the jacket cuff. This season's VS show was on television here in the States tonight. Did you ever see this movie?

Had never seen some of those. Also very cool. I imagine those are all from film, and final prints. Lo the woes of filtering color exposures.
