It's not the first time I've thought it was someone other than what Mädchen magazine says.I think it is maybe related to the fact that doing Mädchen jobs was not very prestigious and often real models (not the Munich based teenagers that they usually streetcast) didn’t wanted to be associated with the magazine with their names. As a result model names were sometimes changed. Same goes for photographers whose names were changed as well. Photographer Cees van Gelderen for example shot a lot for Journal für die Frau magazine under different aliases as he was usually rather on an Elle level and didn’t want to harm his career but wanted to take the jobs with him 😜

20 hours ago20 hr A practice that's common in graphics forums is to use image hosting services. You only see the thumbnail in the forum and the full size image loads when you select the thumb. It saves a TON of server space and bandwidth.

Thefashionspot for example, there are many threads there where you need to go through 10 pages to find a single picture, because it's nearly all broken link one after the next, all from defunct image hosting servers. Here you can still find images posted damn near 20 years ago thanks to the integrated uploading tool, which is very nice. I would even embrace paying a small monthly fee, if it helps maintaining the website to keep it going smoothly just for that.

I know of plenty of sites that, as you described, are full of 404 images. I mentioned to the mods here that they might want to offer paid memberships to help out with server costs. It would be a kind of patron program. My vintage car forum does that to defray costs. I'd gladly pay a yearly fee.

I don't see any advertising, although I do have every ad blocker known to humankind installed. I even have anti-ad blocker blockers.
