The Love Boat ("A Model Marriage; This Year's Model; Original Sin; Vogue Rogue; Too Clothes for Comfort"; October 1981): "A fashion cruise features designers Geoffrey Beene, Halston, Bob Mackie, and Gloria Vanderbilt." Guest stars include Cristina Ferrare in a minor role (ongoing joke is she is an old friend of Julie McCoy, who keeps rushing off whenever they try to get together).

I used to own this July 1979 Playboy issue: COVER STORY: Looking at New York model Denise Gauthier, we feel a sudden fondness for Homburg hats. It's the gun that makes us nervous. It's a mint-condition Walther P38, a spy-film favorite. Executive Art Director Tom Staebler designed and photographed the cover and our resident gun freak, Senior Editor William Helmer, provided the Walther. In Ian Fleming's novels, James Bond was issued a Walther PPK, which was featured in the James Bond films from 1962 - 1995. https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Walther_PPK

Denise Gauthier holding a Walther P38 for Playboy (July 1979) "Moonraker" James Bond-theme cover.

Yes, Fashion and beauty magazines were so annoying as the Photographer was identified; the clothes and accessories designer (sometimes even their list prices!), but somehow couldn't fit in the words: "Model(s): First name, Last name"!

And thank you for your numerous January 15, 2024 postings of Kirsten Allen's Harper's Bazaar layouts. Back in the mid-1980, Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue was only one section, rather than an entire standalone issue as it would become later. If it had been expanded then, IMO among my top choices for supermodels who should have been added are Frederique van der Wal and Kirsten Allen, who both had the "Healthy, natural curves" plus beautiful faces look that epitomized its 1980s swimsuit issues.

Woman's Own (October 1975): Face is familiar to me, either a model-actress or one who did TV commercials.

Kajsa Ceder was on at least two other 'Teen magazine covers in the early-1980s. Blogger Ericka posted a nice January 3, 2010 article "Whatever Happened to Kajsa Ceder". https://bwwtweens.blogspot.com/2010/01/whatever-happened-tokajsa-ceder.html Even more interestingly, in the "Comments" section Kajsa herself contributed on August 3, 2012, starting with: "Hi Erika, Well what a surprise. My daughter is away at camp and wanted to show her friends what her mother looked like as a model and your link came up! I am flatter really..."
