Not my faves, but worthy of being on the list...Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova, Kate Moss,  and Tyra Banks.

My faves?  Probably Shalom Harlow and Laetitia Casta

BTW, you might want to check your spelling on some of those names!

Angie Everhart, hands down. I don't think she gets enough credit.

Jean Shrimpton!  Oh man...how could I forget her?  The shot of her that David Bailey took in the hallway of his house is one of my all time fave images.  Nice one.

Though most would scoff I always admired Janice Dickinson-her look was so different when she stepped into the modeling scene

Youre right about that AJ.

Janice Dickinson and also I would say Gia are important as well. They were both good models in there day and both are evidence of what can happen to anyone that runs a bit wild with resulting fame in this industry.

Linda Evangelista was my IDOL in the 90s.  The "Freedom" video with George Michael.....WOW!  If I could pic anyone to look like, she would be IT!  Makes me want to dye my hair red again. Then platinum blonde, then brunette......smile

I'm on the list to get a copy of the handmade Bailey/Rankin book.  I've been waiting 2 years and now I'm debating whether to pay the approximately $700 to get a book that is essentially close-ups of female genitalia.  the cool thing is I get a print from each of the artists, the weird thing is having a book of crotch close-ups...hmmm? what to do

As strange as the subject matter is, you might want to buy that as a collectors item and resell it in another 8 years or so. The subject matter is out there but but when you consider what some of the other strange books that are out there like Joel Peter Witkin takes photos of body parts and sells 30 x 40 prints at $1,500 to $6,000 bucks. Have you seen the Terry Richardson book?
