The mod that looked a lot like Diana (Alina Vacariu also in certain poses) is Andrea Krakhecke, a Brazilian who also appears in Elle Spain now and then... Kasia Smutniak confused me only once, but it was because they styled her to look like Diana, here: (Admin, it's my site, it's OK to hotlink to myself - I think...) Note the same Diana pose, in this Rocco ad (Wendy D in the background) Diana Rocco ad and I had that look embedded in my brain from back in 98... Diana pic from Nice, France

Nope, southern Europe...I saw Ana in Sept 97 in Nice, France, she was there as a model guest for the final of Elite Model Look 97 (she was the second winner in the 96 contest) I had no idea who she was at the time, it was before Gisele and the Brazilian explosion, and only Adriana Lima (in her Vogue/Ellen v Unwerth period) and Shirley Mallmann were somewhat known, but few knew they were actually Brazilians...

Or you could say we were way ahead of everyone else...and I met Ana in 1997, when she was 15 yo...hehe "Biggest"- dunno, but original yes...along with a few others - where is blurdk, gonzofolio and the rest?

Hey Bill, wassup? We must be the first two who talked about Ana, when noone knew about her, ages ago...but looks like we are newbies here, he he Since you are "
