These are beautiful. She looks quite different from her SI appearance: less bubbly, more sultry. I'm not sure I would have recognized her.

I truly believe this to be the greatest photograph ever taken.

Hope you don't get tired of me thanking you. Great to see these classic Paulina shots.

Glorious. Thank you.

Hi. It's from the SoftKey Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar and Screen Saver 1995. It's one of the image files on the CD-ROM. source info ooops, meant to add: they show up from time to time on eBay, sometimes on Amazon. They're fun. The one they did the preceding year, with Judit Masco on the cover, had pre-printed pages in the package, which was nice. Then SoftKey stopped doing that. The subsequent year, 1996 with Rebecca on the cover, has (I think?) 9 short movie files with Stacey shooting on location. Oh my gosh! I had that screen saver, in fact I wonder if I still do have it in a closet somewhere. Thank you, that has been driving me crazy!

Thanks Juju62. She's gorgeous.

Thanks as always Juju62! Is this one Judit?

Eh, who am I kidding--I'd love a Gigi/Lily/Hannah D cover just as much. But Hannah F just punches me in the heart. I see what you mean about too little left to the imagination. But, well, I guess it didn't bother me as much...

I confess I know nothing about the background political maneuverings that go into this. But I'd love to see a Hannah Ferguson cover (I think she's an absolute knockout) or Emily DiDonato. Second tier for me would be Gigi or Lily, maybe Hannah D. I never got swept into the EmRata whirlwind. She's gorgeous, clearly, but to me she felt like a square peg in a round hole for SI.

Gorgeous.

Wow.

I remembered a caption somewhere that mentioned what a long name it was, so I poked around. In the 1989 issue, her one photo has this caption: "Maria del Carmen von Hartz has a name worth remembering and a suit by Hot Coles." Only other time I've seen the whole thing.

Thanks as always Juju62!

I'm new to Elsa Hosk. I really didn't need another model to be obsessed with, but I'm hooked.

Gotta love a good visual pun.

I believe the only place I ever saw it was on SI's Web page, and that was quite some time ago. Personally, I have never seen that image in print. Perhaps it appeared in the 1996 SI Swimsuit Desk Calendar, as it contained images from the 1995 photo shoots. Thanks for the info. I'd love to find a nice file of it. Thanks for the additional scans too!

Very pretty! (And very late 80s/early 90s.) Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much kaos! I was hoping someone would post this video.

Wow...

Those Polaroids are awesome! She's so goofy in them. And this suit is bizarre.

Thanks, blsmn63. She's lovely, a favorite.

Would those be classified as "mom jeans"? I don't care, she rocks them.

Maybe, maybe not. But put it this way: If you said the phrase "Ms. Blurred Lines," I would immediately think of Emily.

Wow!

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty much dead now.
