This is a Frequently Asked Questions list 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.
This list is not guaranteed to be complete, accurate, useful,
grammatically sound, or spelled correctly.
This faq particularly needs addresses (fashion houses, magazines,
catalogs, fan clubs, etc), and birthdates. If you have any data that
belongs here, _please_ send it in. Comments and suggestions are
welcome. Please email stuff to scott@udel.edu. I'll keep contributions
anonymous unless you explicitly ask to be credited.
I just noticed that I haven't posted this faq since April. Time flies
when you're overworked. If anyone with more time wants to take over
the list, please drop me a line.

Lists of models and data.
These people have been mentioned on this group. Some are
supermodels. Most of them have some claim to being models, but
aren't famous enough yet to rate a "super". The rest are
actresses, playmates, etc. Given the name of the newsgroup, they
probably don't belong here, but there seem to be a lot of questions
about them. The three types are mixed together to avoid arguments.

|There are two films with/about supermodels as the moment. Both films
|are directed by photographers. One is Peter Lindbergh's film Models:
|The Film, and Ellen von Unwerth's supermodel film (I don't know the name of
|it). But models Eva Herzigova, Yasmeen Ghauri and Kate Moss appear in
|another von Unwerth film Inferno.
|
|
|Model labelled the "gamines" are popular at the moment. They are:
|
|Kate Moss
|Shalom
|Lucie de la Falaise
|Kristen McMenamy (yuch!)
|A story about the new gamines appears in this weeks Newsweek. They are
|described as looking like little boys and are popular in modelling
|the current grunge fashion look.

How to download and view the pictures.
Read the FAQ for alt.binaries.pictures. 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
neccesary steps and programs on a wide variety of systems, and
tells you where to find them on the net.
Be sure to check the companion newsgroup
alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels.

Where to get pictures of supermodels on the net.
Picture files can be obtained over the internet using ftp, or mail
to one of the ftp-by-mail servers. For more info on ftp, 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. Here are a couple of the
more popular ones, check the ftp FAQ for a complete list.
Ken Higginson <khiggins@nyx.cs.du.edu>, and
Pete "Ender" Walsh <ender@uunet.uu.net> have been compiling and
posting lists of pictures of specific supermodels and where to
get them. Ender posts his Kathy Ireland list occationally,
and will not respond to mail asking for it. I'm not sure
about Ken. Probably neither of them will send you pictures by
mail, even if you ask very nicely. They're just too burned out
from all the previous requests.

Standard for posting pictures.
Again, read Jim Howard's FAQ for alt.binaries.pictures. 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 spliting-posting program.
There is now a alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels newsgroup. It
may be a better place to post pictures than alt.supermodels.
I would like to add that auto-decoders 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 than 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.

History and purpose of alt.supermodels and this faq.
alt.supermodels was created (at louie 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.

|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!)
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.
