Sources of additional movie appearance information.

    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.celebrities (abpc).



 NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1995--Next Management,  the New
York City-based modeling agency, is distributing the first  interactive
CD-ROM for model selection, supplementing the  traditional promotional book,
it was announced today by Next  co-owners Faith Kates and Joel Wilkenfeld.
   

    Next is the first agency to commission a CD-ROM featuring  full-motion
video.  Viewers can employ the interactive medium to its  fullest.  Each
model's entire book, and her complete stats are  available at the click of
the mouse from anywhere within the  application.  Clicking on Yasmeen Ghauri
hijacking a taxi for  example, brings up Yasmeen's book and stats.  This,
plus an  efficient search and sort facility, makes the Next CD-ROM product
 stylish, entertaining and practical.    

    "This innovation provides clients with the unique ability to  review a
model's skill in both still photography and full-motion  video environments,"
said Kates.    

    Added Wilkenfeld, "We feel the convenience of this resource is
 invaluable to our busy clientele and provides them with a more
 comprehensive overview of each model's strengths and abilities."    

    Formatted for MAC, the interactive resource is being distributed  to art
directors at ad agencies and magazines, model editors,  catalog publishers,
photographers and designers.  Accompanying the  CD-ROM is the traditional
promotional book containing the models  still photographs and statistics.    

    Derek Penn, president of mindandmedia, inc., a New York based
 interactive media software firm, designed the story ideas and  application
architecture in collaboration with the noted  photographer/director Thierry
Le Goues and art director Doug Lloyd.    

    Shot on location in the streets, prisons, peep-shows and back  alleys of
New York City, the CD-ROM and book have a distinct  high-fashion fantasy
esthetic.    

    In business for just six years, and with affiliate offices in  Paris,
Milan and Canada, and branches in South Beach, Fla. and Los  Angeles,  Next
is now among the largest agencies in the country.  In  the fall of 1994 they
moved into their own building in Soho.    

    Among the women represented by Next are Yasmeen Ghauri, Angie  Everhart,
Estelle Hallyday, Judit Masco, Tanya Fourie, Stacey  Williams, Rebecca
Romijn, Milla and Brandi.

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.

    Some FTP servers with supermodel info are:

	ftp.sunet.fe:/pub/pictures/people/women/

	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
250-    Only users from within NORDUnet networks are allowed
250-    to retrieve these files without limits. Anyone else

as he has a mailing-list setup for distributing Kate Moss pictures and is 
active in creating kate moss newsgroups.  He wrote the entry for Kate in 
this FAQ.

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). ]

    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?

Where to get the latest version of this FAQ.

    Latest version will be posted to alt.supermodels, alt.answers, and
    news.answers.  I am counting upon long term storage at FAQ repositories
    on various Gopher and WWW sites.  Go to http://www.yahoo.com and ask that
    service to find "FAQ" and you should get lots of hits, some will be large
    repositories of the FAQS.

    Personal copies via email may be requested by mailing a note to:

History and purpose of alt.supermodels and this FAQ.
    alt.supermodels was created (at louie.udel.edu anyway) on 30 July 92, 
    by a newgroup control message from umalexa9@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Edward W.
    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.

|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.

*From: comtech@nznet.gen.nz (Ryan Marshall)
*Playmates and actresses are nice, but they're simply NOT supermodels,
*and therefore do not belong in the FAQ.
