Warner has hazel eyes and the Nine West girl has rather dark eyes when looking closely. Anna has blue eyes.

Hazel but rather transparent and appear to be full of green or blue reflections depending on the case.dontknow.gif.webp chicker.webp

You are such a crazy hair specialist - love it! 🤗 Stupid question of a bald guy….🤣 > did airbrush already exist in 98?

Airbrushes were invented in the 19th century. Sometimes with compressors operated by pedals. biggrin.webp Beauticians and hairdressers have been using them more or less since 1980... 120 years later than graphic artists. ph34r.webp Photographers, on the other hand, have always used them.

Ah super! I was aware that airbrush in general of course exist long but didn’t expect it to be used in the hair and makeup world already in 1980. Well then it was really a sloppy job in 98…..🤭

Has anyone ever come across a model named KAREN RIPOSO?

Originally from Syracuse, Karen started modelling in New York in the late 80’s. Now, she’s a talent agent and photographer.

Here’s her photo from 1989 with male model JOHN CONROY.

Karen "Kiki" Riposo is also known as a producer and entertainment agent (IMDB source). I think it's the same person.

hi guys! )

I will start a thread for Catherine Kuhn in the next hour and pls note that it is not her in the above HÖGL ad and pls don’t post it in that new thread for her. I know Catherine very well since she spent months and months in town with us between 90 and 93 and the HÖGL lady is definitely not her and has a far thinner upper lip and is possibly older than Catherine as well 😘

Edit:

I have just seen that there is also an actress out there with the name Catherine Kuhn which is not the model from Canada. She just had the same hair cut in the early 90s.

The lighter dots are the resin joints, what a sloppy job, they could have masked everything with a few touches of the airbrush. blink.webp

Yes you see a lot of badly made fake hair, my dear 🤭
