Everyone, Thought this might be of interest to everybody. And yes, Ms. Farrell is one of those listed in here. Wonder where this guy got his information from? >8D -- From: graham@shell.portal.com (apprentice engineer) Newsgroups: alt.supermodels Subject: FAQ 2.2 NEW REVISION !! HEY IT'S THE NEW FAQ! Date: 14 Aug 1994 11:33:20 GMT Archive-Name: supermodels-faq Last-Modified: 1994/07/30 Version: 2.2 This is the Frequently Asked Questions file for alt.supermodels. It tries to address the standard questions, so the regular readers won't have to see them again. The info is mostly drawn from postings to this group, but a lot has been contributed directly. There's a lot of data about people who aren't supermodels, because people ask a lot of questions about people who aren't supermodels. If you have any data on models that is not here, _PLEASE_ send it to me, Graham Watt (the alt.supermodels FAQ drone), at graham@shell.portal.com. RE: ADD TO FAQ Comments and suggestions are very welcome. Mail them to the above address with a subject of (FAQ comment) so I can parse it easier from my mail index. Contributors will be noted at the end of the FAQ (Fame!). (Unless they prefer to be anonymous. I will respect those requests.) This FAQ still needs hard data; addresses (fashion houses, magazines, catalogs, fan clubs, etc), birthdates, measurements, earning power, names of the new models, and whatever else can help us all follow them. I have noticed from posts that the FAQ does not address older models from even the early 70's and 80's. Any fans out there with information should send it to me so I can include it. ##################### Contents: Lists of models and data. Common questions and answers. Addresses.

Born: 16 Jan 74 in Addiscomb, Surrey, England Citizenship: French, for TAX reasons Earning power: $10000 / day US Agency: Women Model Management UK Agency: Storm One of the more controversial supermodels, primarily because of her unusually low weight (she typifies the "waif" models). Some people feel she is unattractively thin, and fear idolizing her may cause anorexia in impressionable teenage girls. However, she also has a large number of fans, and receives a large number of modeling jobs. Her contract with Calvin Klein is supposedly worth over 1 million. Her unusual appearance (and possibly her willingness to appear nude, "It's just work") have, in a very short time, made her almost as widely recognized as Cindy Crawford. She is a little too short and thin to model clothes designed for the "standard" model's build. This makes her less versatile and may limit her career's lifespan. She appeared in an '89 British sexploitation film "The Inferno". She chain smokes Marlboros. She has broken with her photographer boyfriend, Mario Sorrenti.

Some factors that may be involved are earning power, name recognition, face recognition, frequency of runway appearances, frequency of magazine covers, appearances in Sports Illustrated, calenders, TV appearances, movies. Also see the "history and purpose" section of this FAQ. Why are all (or most) supermodels tall and thin? There are variations, but most models are about the same size, height (~5'9), and weight. Most of the designs are for very thin women (why is another good question). Tall women appear thinner than short ones. Women with small faces are supposed to photograph "better". If you put a head on a woman who is 5'10" - 6', it will look smaller than the same beautiful head on a woman who is 5'2" or so. Designers can sew clothes for the "standard" model. Then they can easily substitute models if they think a particular dress would look better with a different model, or someone is late for a show. Uniformity lets them "ensemble" well with other models. No one has to stand on box. The standard height may be on the tall side to ease posing with men. Who's the woman in the Meatloaf video? Dana Patrick. However, the voice belongs to a woman identified only as "Mrs. Loud". What's the name of the magazine Alyssa Milano posed nude in? The complete title is "Bikini". Volume 1, Issue 1. Completely sold out, no back issues. (hint. This magazine is SQUARE in shape.) Who is the girl in the Aerosmith videos? Alicia Silverstone was in the Aerosmith vidoes "Cryin'" and "Amazing", and starred in the movie, "The Crush". She's 17. ##################### Addresses. American Photo for subscription: P.O.

A lot of information about model's movie appearances is available from the movie database servers. One of the best is "Cardiff's Movie Database Browser", available through the Web with URL: "http://www.cm.cf.ac.uk/Movies/moviequery.html" ##################### How to download and view the pictures. Read the FAQ for alt.binaries.pictures.d. If your site doesn't get that group, or expires it quickly, look in news.answers, or ftp it from rtfm.mit.edu. Jim Howard has done an excellent job of explaining this, much better than I could. He describes the necessary steps and programs on a wide variety of systems, and tells you where to find them on the net. Supermodel pictures are usually available in alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels (usually abbreviated a.b.p.s or abps) and alt.binaries.pictures.erotica (abpe). ##################### Where to get pictures of supermodels on the net. Picture files can be obtained over the internet using ftp, fsp, or mail to one of the ftp-by-mail servers. For more info, see Tom Czarnik's "FTP List - FAQ" posting to news.answers. There are NO ftp sites carrying nude pictures of supermodels or anyone else. Every time one opens, 328959802 guys try to ftp to it at once, it's load goes to infinity, and it's admin deletes the pictures in self defense. There are lots of sites that keep G and PG rated pictures of supermodels. A couple of the more popular ones are below, use archie, or check the ftp FAQ for a complete list. Some FTP servers with supermodel info are: erratic.bradley.edu: via fsp only [need confirmation on this] louie.udel.edu:/pub/supermodels louie only has small "mug-shot" pictures of supermodel's faces, some copies of the posted lists of where to find pictures of particular supermodels, and archives of this newsgroup. nic.funet.fi:/pub/pics/gif/pics/people/female only if you can access it via NORDUnet or 250- Only users from within NORDUnet networks are allowed 250- to retrieve these files without limits.

They're just too burned out from all the previous requests. [ I may have older copies of these in my files, will look for them] ##################### Standard for posting pictures. Again, read Jim Howard's FAQ for alt.binaries.pictures.d He clearly describes the current standards for splitting articles (and why you should), how to title them, helpful programs, etc. In particular, look for xmitBin, an automated splitting-posting program. Pictures should be posted to alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels, not alt.supermodels. Many sites do not get abps because of "moralistic" censorship, worries over copyright suites, low disk space, or low net bandwidth. However, if pictures are posted to alt.supermodels, then it will also become blocked. [ Note to any admins reading this: Please don't cut off entire groups to save bandwidth/space, instead ask your feeder to place an article size limit on your feed. That will accomplish your goal, but not subject you to irrate users screaming "censorship". It will also protect you from idiots posting 5 Meg bible quotes to normal discussion groups (which actually happened about a year ago). ] If you can't access abps at your site, use an NNTP news reader to read from one of the public sites, use gopher, or find someone to mail you the pics. Auto-decoders (such as Mark Stantz's "aub") are becoming far more common. These programs scan all new articles in a list of newsgroups, find the picture pieces, sort them, assemble them, process them, and drop the finished picture files in a directory. The only problem is they demand that the subject lines follow the standard. If you don't follow the standard, a lot of people will never even see your posting; so why did you bother to post? Very few things are farther from the standard than NeXT's NewsGrazer format. Only a tiny fraction of one percent of readers will be able to view it, so you're just wasting bandwidth. ##################### Where to get the latest version of this and other FAQs.

Alexander). The original purpose was discussion of supermodels. Then someone realized that supermodels are known through their pictures, so it is appropriate to discuss photographs here. That led to posting pictures, so everyone could be talking about the same thing. The end result seems to be flame wars. |From: brinkley@cs.utexas.edu (Paul Brinkley) |Subject: Re: Where are all the gifs |Date: Mon Mar 01 11:56:16 EST 1993 | |We just got through a pretty long and hard discussion concerning this. |Apparently alt.supermodels was NOT created with massive picture-posting |in mind. Your post could possibly touch off another flame war. | |There are many alternatives to posting here. First of all, unlike "erotic" |GIFs, the NSF doesn't lean on any FTP sites under its influence for carrying |pictures of models. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that due to the |lesser demand for model pictures, posting a site's name will NOT cause its |subsequent death from overload. (I could be wrong on this.) | |For those who don't have FTP access, you could post to alt.binaries.pictures.- |misc. This is the perfect place for them; a.p.b.e is slightly less |appropriate. For those who have neither FTP nor access to the binaries |groups, a simple e-mail should be adequate. (And if you can't even get e-mail, |you probably can't read this, either!) |From: FallenAngel@not.in.heaven.com (Fallen Angel) |Subject: Who is NOT a supermodel. |Date: 20 Jul 1993 03:19:06 GMT |Summary: This group is not alt.fan.bimbo.chick | |Some people should look at the name of this group before posting. It is |near impossible to create an algorithm that will separate people (mostly |women) into two cases, supermodel and not-supermodel, and have it work |perfectly. We can state, with total certainty, that some people are NOT |supermodels. | |Tanya Roberts is NOT a supermodel. |Dana Plato is NOT a supermodel. |Some-chick-who-had-a-role-in-a-movie is NOT a supermodel. |The Double Mint gum blow-job bimbo is NOT a supermodel. |The Bud girls are NOT supermodels. | |This newsgroup is not alt.fan.chick.hot. Yes, it is unmoderated and there |is no authority who can maintain topicality. Still, I ask for a bit of |common sense and courtesy. Respect the bounds of this group. | |This group was created to discuss (mostly) women who have excelled in a |particular career, modelling. This means a focus on the medium of |photography. This means an association with the fashion industry. This |means runway work. | |There is no reason to stifle all discussion, or to not engage in conversation |about people who may not quite fit the supermodel category. Anna Nicole |Smith is one such case. Personally, I don't care for the discussion about |various TV commercial bimbos. They aren't supermodels and probably never |will be. This falls, however remotely, within the framework of this group. |Questions about, and GIF requests for, second-rate actresses does not. |From: gwatt@nyx10.cs.du.edu (Graham Watt) |Date: Thu, 2 Dec 93 12:11:44 GMT | |Okay everyone, back to REAL PURPOSE of alt.supermodels. |magazine watching and model gossip. If you have to pay for connect time on your newsfeed, you may want to ask your feeder to place an article size limit on your feed. The INN news transport system has this option. A 40k limit will block most picture segments, and pass most discussion. It's not a perfect solution, but it might save you some money. ##################### Credits.
