Vendela appeared in Sports Illustrated's "Hall of Fame" 2004 40th Anniversary issue. I wonder if she'll be on its "Candidates List" for a similar themed layout for the 50th Anniversary issue.

A very good Daily Mail April 20, 2012 article "Eighties Supermodels Then and Now: Kim Alexis, Kelly Emberg, and Elena Davis" includes several nice color non-Photoshopped photos of the still very attractive women (both together for their interview with "Today" host Savannah Guthrie and closeups): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-...lena-Davis.html

Like you, I recall the vintage days before cosmetic surgery, silicone and tattoos. My favorite model of the mid-1970s to early-1980s era was Cristina Ferrare. Favorite Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue model of the mid-1970s: Cheryl Tiegs.

I would LOVE to see reunion edition or smth like that as well! That would be real treat. Doubt that will ever happen, though When we are at reunion subject , I would love to see VSFS reunion as well The Winter 2006 SI cover did feature an "All-Star SI Cover Model" theme with Elle MacPherson, Rebecca Romijn, Rachel Hunter, Daniela Pestova, Veronica Varekova, Elsa Benitez, Carolyn Murphy and Yamila Diaz-Rahi. Not only that, but they published the oversized hardcover book "Sports Illustrated Exposure" (which retailed at $29.95) solely on the All-Star cover models shoot.

A: Neither are Stephanie. #1: Paulina Porizkova (1987); from Glaviano's "Models: Sittings 1978-1988". #2: Alexandra Brochen; from Sport magazine's swimsuit issue (February 1989).

Juli Foster: 7. One of the first top fashion models that I recall willing to appear topless in a fashion layout. Kelly Emberg: 9. One of my favorite models of the late-1970s to late-1980s era. Appolonia: 4. Best feature: Her legs.

Kim Alexis: 7.6 Multiple Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, including the cover of the 1988 SI Wall Calendar. Was the most radiant of the former supermodels guest-starring in the "A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives" (1993) at the age of 33. Nancy Donahue: 4.4. Had the look for fashion editorials and ads, but not swimsuits. However, bonus points for still being a working model, and known as one of the nicer models in the industry.
