What happened to the models from my era?

[DWR2006]

Colonel's information regarding Rachel Garley is not accurate, despite what Google may or may not say. Until recently Rachel lived with the photographer Ian Mckell and they have a very sweet and extremely bright daughter.

She was good friends with Willie Donaldson though, that much is true. But he was a very mischevious man and may have been economical with the truth on this matter. He died less than a year ago.

Rachel still works in the modelling business but as a make-up artist and a booker, for a well know agency. She may not thank me if I said which one, so I won't.

Can you email me please at the address on my BGAFD profile, if you're in contact with Rachel... I'd like to talk to her again after all these years and I'll give you private info so she'll remember me, and maybe she'll get in contact We had a few good laughs together way back then...

And I'd like to know if Ian Mckell still has a great art nude pic he shot around 1992 of a South African model, Lisa, who was another friend of mine. She was nude but wore a globe over her head.. It was brilliant.

I appreciate the information and stand corrected, DWR. The source was an article in the 'Independent' by the journalist- and very good looker herself- Hermione Eyre , who had just written some book about Rogues and Charlatans, etc- I forget the title itself- with Willie Donaldson. As you say, he was a highly mischievous man- and that may tie up the loose ends here.

And then appeared on a daytime chat show I once caught, claiming that she had never done hardcore, and couldn't understand what today's models were thinking of, etc.

Mind you, she was sitting next to hubby at the time. Who looked..boring and staid. Though I presume he wasn't really.

Anyone have any recent information on what Amanda Long/Hughes is doing now? She seemed to be everywhere in the early 1990s with her video and magazine work - but then disappeared without a trace. A real shame because there was no one else like her back then or since. Any details much appreciated!

I remember her in some mucky Splosh action with Sammy-Jayne in the mudflats of the Severn Estuary that developed into the obligatory lesbian encounter.....

very posh and ex-Cheltenham Ladies College, as I recall.

Heather on daytime? Dammit - wish I'd seen that.

The lawyer may well have been very boring. She once gave an interview to Fiesta where she described her first marraige to a photographer who also sounded incredibly dull.

There's a name for the conniseurs amongst you - Fiona Wright. Did some modelling in the mid-80's then went out with Jim Davidson (didn't they all) and then vanished.
