You are sooooooooooooo right, SnL. There is a lotta a beauty going on in Tori's pages right now! There are so many amazing photos; I don't know where to begin. The number of pages devoted to Tori here at BZ, dare I say is pushing three digits: nearing 100 in the near future thanks to so many people posting so much and to Tori doing so much amazing work! <_<

WHOA! I just wrote how I haven't received a BZ email notification for new Praver posts in a few weeks and Lo! I got an email notification from BZ saying you posted some new pics and sho' enuf you posted some great stuff! Thanks, VampireHorde, for working like a dawg! I am looking forward to seeing part three of your posts of Too-Cute Tori!

Boy, you said it SnL, I had not received any email notifications of new Tori posts so I thought all was quiet on the Tori front. Just decided to take a peek and look at the cornucopia of new Tori pics and plenty of new posters! Wow! There is so much amazing stuff from covers to candids of Tori in her surf element. I am sorta glad I got it in one big bunch. Maybe the lack of email notifications was a sign that I was posting too much of Tori in Gorsuch. Anyhoo, I am glad to see Tori looking amazing and relaxed. Hope everyone is enjoying better weather as the Vernal Equinox came and went and more sunlight, too, thanks to Daylight Savings kicking in before that! Thanks again to all the posters and to Tori for such fine work!

Boy, SnL, had a virus not locked up my computer, I would have been all over that better-than-Tori comment. Thanks for responding succinctly and matter-of-factly! Here's a colorful, Spring-Is-Near pic that shows Tori's face at such an amazing angle: what a nose, what lips, what a jaw she has. Have a great end of the week to all!

Here's Tori as she looks out of a tent that reminds me of The English Patient with Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas. I can see her doing a current version of the film with Tori's character being as beautiful, strong and independent as Ms. Thomas's character the original film. I can see Tori in many roles from action to romantic to comedic, but I don't know if she wants to do the model-turned-actress thang. Hope everybody had a great Super Bowl weekend if it was part of the weekend or not.

I saw that Tori-alike in the Bebe window a couple of weeks ago, and it made me stop dead in my tracks thinking I had sighted a larger-than-life Tori poster. If you look closely, as I do at Tori, her cupid's bow has a deep V in the center, the deepest perhaps in all of model land! Maybe it is she, and I can stand corrected by someone. Well, here is another pic of the Gorsuch gal looking oh-so cuuuute 'n' cozy covered almost head-to-toe. Makes me wish winter would last longer! Okay, maybe not, but Tori sure can look great in a little fabric (bikini) or a lot (winter coat). Thanks, Vanessaaa, for the pic. Tori's smile looks soooo sweet 'n' relaxed.

Hey, Vanessaaa! Glad you found your way to being a Tori fan. I am sure you flipped through her pages from the first one and have seen her many looks. I think her relaxed personality is due to her "Hawaiian Temprament." She really does come across as a sweetie. Anyway, welcome to Tori's pages on behalf of her fans.

Spring has sprung a little early in New England with the arrival of the Gorsuch Spring/Resort Catalogue in all its hard copy glory. Tori graces both front and back covers and there are numerous pics of her in between to make the variety-of-looks judges blush and go home. In this edition as in prior ones, there are a number of pics we have seen before, but as I keep repeating ad nauseum, use them to refresh your collective memories as to all that Tori can. . . and WILL KEEP DOING. . . I hope the short week has gone by quiclky for Tori, Danny, and all of her fans and the weekend comes none too quickly.

Too busy for both this year but you never know about next year 'cuz they her! I'd say that the True Religion campaign, for one, is a special deal. Who had it b4 her? Oh, that's right. Gisele. Being the Global Ambassador for Billabong ain't too shabby either. AND having your own swimwear line that is sold out most places is pretty good. Her recent editorials (which have been many, many) have all been great. Being in every catalog imaginable, which further shows many ranges she has, is a plus! She's terribly busy! I'll think she'll be just fine I AGREE, SnL, Tori only has places to go in this industry if she is in front of the camera or if she is designing swimsuits or anything. Tori is easy to work with and has had quite number of great shoots for great companies and is currently the bod and face for two amazing brands in TWO hemispheres. She has the world wrapped tightly in her long, toned arms. And dare, I mention it as I do my Tori retrospectives (I'm on page 61 going backwards now), I see her going from still to moving pics if she wants to, but as you say, SnL, she is a busy bee. When the stars align, she may be back on SI or take her place among VS folks, but Tori has a great deal going on right this cotton-pickin' minute!

SnL, you beat me to the thanks punch! Thanks to all and to all their amazing posts recently. I took a re-visit Tori Time Trip to the Goldenpoint photos posted way back in SEPT 09. They really seem to show her versatility, but then when I went page by page back to the present reality, I was reminded Tori has so many looks within each niche: eg swimsuit, haute couture, etc. Hopefully, people will check out Tori's earlier stuff every once in a while to see how great she was in the very beginning and in so many posts (tons of which were from SnL of course) thereafter. There has been so much fun and amazing stuff posted of Tori in that time that I suffered sensory overload! I know Tori will keep us in awe in the New Year as she wows us with new ads, editorials, etc., and her fans keep doing an amazing job of posting and keeping us current! Here's wishing Tori were the Captain of the ENTIRE United States Winter (of course summer) Olympic Team: Have a great weekend!

The Winter Solstice will finally be here on 21 DEC 09, only a day after a good part of the East Coast got slammed by huge snow storm. Fret not as there will be more daylight from now on--at least in the northern hemisphere as I said a few weeks ago. More important, the fashion world is always ahead of Mother Nature and Her seasons and has presented the Resort Collection from Gorsuch again in the most-recent catalogue. The hardcopy catalogue has Tori all over it as usual, but also has her in such SPRING outfits as the one from Roberto Cavalli below (sorry so small) that may be the cover of the upcoming resort hardcopy: What natural beauty she brings to the naturally beautiful scenery! Isn't she so great season after season? Timeless beauty in any week, month, year, decade or century. Happy Winter Solstice and to Tori, Danny, and all her fans! Trivia: Next time you pull yours on, remember that Jthe word JEANS comes from Genoa, Italy where the first denim cloth was made. Dungarees is the Indian (as in India) name for it. India can also stake a claim to seersucker, madras, calico, gingham, and other lightweight cloths for the hotter days to come! Don't get me wrong! I love sledding, pond hockey, or snowboarding--just not in the aforementioned fabrics!

YOU are THE bestest, SnL! Thanks for this AMAZING peek at Tori in B/W reminiscent of Brooke in her Calvins back in the day. The two look great together, long and lean, high cheekbones, and matching blonde! Thanks again and again for bringing the goods again and again to Tori's pages and have a great weekend!

What a treat, Joe!! Thanx so much I can't save the whole picture, some seems to be cut off, if I click I get the next picture. How does one lay one's paws on a calendar, Joe?? You can't see the whole pic? Whats there is what was in the calendar. hmmm And as far as how to get it ... I got mine from ebay for $45 (not including shipping). Thus why i took pics and shared them. Figured everyone wouldn't spend the money. and they are going even fast now on ebay and prices are growing. FYI ... the calendar is like 2 feet x 1.5 feet. It's HUGE. Way too much to scan. Jeez, Joe Knight, thanks for investing in such huge art on behalf of the rest of us. I had same trouble that SnL had. But it was still worth wrassling with it just to see if not save such a large one! Thanks again! Maybe Pirelli next for the Tormeister! Good luck to anyone taking finals or has a project for work due before the holidaze!

Hey, Joe Knight, thanks for posting and for posting something NEW. All those girls, including Tori, in drop-dead red were really amazing! Thanksalotsa!

Oh, Boy! That is a lot of babble above. Sorry just doesn't cut it anymore. Tori is in THE Top Ten. . .THE Gorsuch Top Ten, anyway. And she is in it several times: I JUST noticed that we need to celebrate Tori's 80th page! Boy just in time for the holidays and the New Year! Congrats! When will we reach the "centennnial" page? I hope Tori, Danny, and Tori fans have had a non-manic Monday, especially when various holidays require visit planning, gift buying and the like!

Boy! Missing a week or so rushing around for 10 days at Thanksgiving, I missed some fun stuff on her pages. Thanks for all the postings of pix and videos! Wowee! I know stay away more often and come back for more at once and LESS babble! I know it sounds corny, but Tori should do work for the FOUR SEASONS as she looks amazing in each! I love her cute, cute, but I also love her aloof in navy in the middle of a GORSUCH ASPEN winter! I just love her whole range, I guess : It's getting chilly in many places. Tori's Gorsuch resort photographs and her overall glow remind us that the SHORTEST day of the year is coming soon for us Northern Hemispherers on 21 DEC 09 when the Winter Solstice arrives. Hooaaah! :neo2: :hell yea!: Yes, a few minutes of extra sunshine each day is worth a hoot and a holler! :dance: :hell yea!: You Aussie Billabongers have had your turn with longer days ! I can see her as the current Kristin Scott Thomas in The English Patient traipsing around the N. African desert before The Great War has started and never breaking a sweat and then going to a white tie affair that evening and dazzling the crowd with her dress and her dancing.

Thanks for that FUUUUN b/w clip. Tori is soooo day-um hot as you say. It's always fun to see the surfer girl athleticism come out in moving pics. It took me a while to figure out "day-um" until I said it out loud. It's fun spelling out words, especially for accents! Thanks, SnL, for making these pages fun in every way! She looks shimmery, sexy, and strong! And, most important, she looked like she's having fun. The other girl looks great, too. Sometimes, I feel a true test for face beauty is to pull hair straight back to reveal the facial features in stark isolation and without distraction , the extreme being a Sinead O'Connor, skin head O'Connor 'do. That is a tough test to pass, but both Tori and her colleague would pass the hair-pull-back test with flying colors. Thanks, FRANCY ITALY, for your TORI "REFERESHERS"! Apologies NOT Accepted, however, as you are bringing some of Tori's best work from earlier in her career and her whole career smack dab into the front of our collective crania! I LOVE her skin, lips and eyes in these shots. THANKS! No Apologies! Save for my babble! <_< --------------------------------------------- TRIVIA QUESTION: What was the name of the two-piece swimsuit advertised in 1946 as the "WORLD'S SMALLEST"--just three weeks before the bikini was introduced as the smaller than the smallest? It's not the microkini! ANSWER: The ATOME. French Designer Jacques Heim named it after the atom, the smallest known particle of matter. But French ENGINEER quickly one-upped him, naming his skimpier suit the BIKINI after the remote US ATOM bomb test site in the Pacific, the Bikini Atoll. Daaa-aang! Thankfully, engineering beat physics in marketing/branding or girls/women would be going around looking for "atoms" for their vacations! Or "Jane, wanna see my new Tori Praver "atome"? I knew I should have changed my major to one of those sciences and invented fun, sexy clothing! Well, we can thank the French for more than the Champagne region, cheese, croissants, and Carla Bruni (born in Italy)! Their fashion sense is pretty good . Maybe they should stay away from car design, though: Peugeot, Citroen, and Renault have never been eye candy, exactly but good accessories in ads and movies and fashion editorials. Anyhoo, I hope Tori, Danny, their friends and her BZ fans had a great Thanksgiving and are well ahead on holiday shopping and having fun on holiday activities.

I used to visit Tori Praver's and Hilary Rhoda's site whenever possible. Then I felt I only had time to visit Tori's site. But this past Thanksgiving, I drove through Bethesda, MD, Hilary's hometown I think, and then got home only to see her appear in an Estee Lauder tv ad. It only took me a second at the ad's beginning to ID her. She has that certain je ne sais quoi to be distinct from the rest of her colleagues. Anyway, what a nice coincidence and timing for me to drive through Bethesda/Chevy Chase and see her on TV! She is so gorgeous. She has a cute air about her, and a patrician air, too--not easy to combine. I am wondering why R Lauren and C Klein don't pick her up for that preppy look. Maybe they have, and I am just behind. I don't think I need to say more than just that she has great facial bones, great musculature, and great athletic bones covered by flawless skin! And those eyes. . . Now, I have to go back through Hilary's BZ pages and see all the amazing stuff that has happened to her and look at amazing photographs of her! Good luck with holiday shopping/activities!

Whoa, Sweeeet n Looooow! These are amazing and "gorgeous or WHAT"! Her face, hair, skin, musculature! Tori looks tres elegante, chic, a la mode (with or with ice cream but in such wonderful fashion) and has that certain je ne sais quois! What a start to the week! Thank You, Tori and SnL!

Thanks, SnL, for another coup de grace and tour de force with intel and images of Tori! At the end of the week, when you said you had more stuff, I was waiting with baited breath for it! Everyone here knows you are THE Tori Source of Intel and Pics and a Fantastic Tori Fan! Thanks so much for taking the time to post the vid. It's always extra dee-lish to see Tori move. And, YOU, Amiieduckiie, I am admittedly the LEAST productive picture poster on Tori's pages but try to make up for it in number of words as you may have noticed by now! I know: A LAME EXCUSE FOR BABBLING! I used to search the internet for Tori's pics and new information, but as we all know, both are hard to find, but the very difficulty makes us want more pics and more intel on Tori. It's partly the mystery factor, even of perhaps a friend whom you may not know so well or is quiet. Diamonds are rare, valuable and expensive because they are hard to find. There are a lot of diamonds on all of BZ pages, but the diamonds on Tori's pages are extra-special at least to her fans! :dance: :dance: When I did find "new" stuff it had already been posted, etc. I do, however, keep trying and simply love seeing what people post of Tori's pics and write about her. Hope you two are having a great weekend! It is very soggy in Boston as the Tropical Storm formerly known as Ida came up the coast only to meet with a Nor'easter (winds come off Atlantic as in Clooney's Perfect Storm mentioned in a previous post). As a result, it's one cold soggy mess. But of course, as with anything that life throws at you, there is someone or someplace else in a worse sitch: Mid-Atlantic region (NJ, DE, DC, VA, NC, etc) got it "wicked" bad and Haiti got it even worse (184 dead). Or it could be SNOW! The storms pass and the sun comes out and the rain drops look like brilliant diamonds!

I just don't get how Tori can go from being sooooooooo cute to so patrician in the same dang catalogue and then such vampy vixen in Russian Vogue. I guess she's just doing as any astute businessperson would do: diversifying her "products" or looks! The ski outfit shots in Gorsuch are just too cute : Is it the wispies, the hair pulled back, the mischieveous smile, the sparkling eyes in fresh Aspen air? The parka, reminiscent of the one worn by the little bro. in A Christmas Story when he couldn't get up or the Michelin Man? Fresh faced? I dunno. I'll selfishly take ALL of Tori's looks! I'm sure its all been said, but I can't help loving seeing Tori Praise repeated again and again on these here pages.

I know, Amiieduckiie, the whole authenticity issue in so many aspects of the internet are no fun. :yuckky: A student can take paragraphs or a whole paper from someone else's paper published on line. We can look at magazine images photoshopped to distort the person in a good way (ie looks in better shape) or bad (looks in worse shape), and we just won't know what the truth is. <_< A famous example from the 1950s, before any internet, is Robert Doisneau's photograph of two people kissing in Paris. It was hailed for its spontaneity and then revealed as a posed photo. Or more recently, a New York Times reported did a series of articles that were all made up. The examples of faking stories, pictures have always been around, but the internet and computers, as you know just make it easier to mislead but also to call lying authors on the lies. Creating different internet identities is a pain for those who are fooled, especially if it's a Twitter identity of our beloved Tori. Because the internet is generally so untrustworthy, Tori has every right to feel her trust has been broken and may not gain that trust again. Hopefully, Amiieduckiie, she will see the comments about her, the pics people put up, YOUR amazing signature those of others, and know that those on these pages really do admire her for shooting up so fast and for foraying into the business world (her swimsuit business) in tough economic times in a competitive niche of the competitive fashion industry. When I got the BZ email that said you posted something new, I just assumed that you, Amiieduckiie, would have posted some happy pics of Tori, and I was bummed that you were bummed by all this Twitter identity stuff! I can understand it, but I know simply new, amazing photos posted, the latest by misspraver, for example, and the resulting comments are always inspiring for her fans and certainly there will be more Tori pics and more happy Tori fan spirits ! Robert Doisneau: Le Baiser (The Kiss in Front of the) de l'Hotel de Ville, Paris, 1950: 1993: A woman and man claimed Doisneau used their pic without their knowledge or consent to which Monsieur Doisneau simply said he posed the pic in 1950 using two actors to simulate a spontaneous kiss on a busy Paris street? Whom can you trust pre-Internet or during the Internet? Not many apparently when it comes to Facebook, My Space, Twitter and other social networks that have had security compromised or at the other end of the internet source spectrum: scholarly, government, or corporate research even the higly classified Department of Defense (DoD). :shock: :shock: The archaic hand-written letter or hand-developed photographs, each of which distorted reality a plenty in their hey day, presented reality dilemmas from UFO sightings to celeb sightings. We get to as much truth as we want given the media and technology of the day. We figured out which Enquirer pics or headlines were accurate or outlandish or a bit of both. If we got through that era of communication and reality, we can get through the current one, and we may not even have to be savvier or more alert; just use common sense with your sources and double check as your gut tells you, provided yer gut is good! We can find and handle the truth regardless of the century or decade if we chose to do so. The technology of the day is a factor be it the land-line telephone or Skype or film camera or digi or hand-written letter or email, but the truth is always out there but may take more digging if the information proliferation is so great. But as I said, that same technology that caused the proliferation of unreliable information has provided more reliable information. As a result, depending on your persistence and your desire, you can use the latest technoligy to find the truth, just as a journalist in 19th century used his or her sources avaiable to him or her to get at the truth. Whether morals about presenting the truth in print and in pics are the issue, I better start another babble, but I would say that morals don't necessarily change a lot over the centuries (eg the financial meldown. Those bankers numbers were higher than the bankers who store in previous decades centuries and their dastardly deeds were pushed to worldwide stage because of current technology. Maddoff gear is now available for sale. But seriously, we have gotten over these issues regardless of new technology). I have faith we will through these identity issues with perhaps more time! grouphug:

Boy, SNL, the faker issue is indeed a pain. It takes some effort to keep that kind of extended faking up regardless of which walk of life (eg Inside Edition tonight: Miss California has no "family values" (loaded phrase, I know) and Cheaters episodes are faked). Hopefully, such efforts to lie for a prolonged period will tire the fakers out or they will make a mistake that will bring the lies to the surface. <_< We know you are committed to Tori's cause, and she will know when she goes through these pages! Just when I thought that the Winter Solstice was around the corner, Tori adds Spring life in Gorsuch: Tori truly is "A Woman for All Seasons" !
