Top five models of all time

[Avory]

Your rueful comment caused me to burst out laughing. As one whose adolescence was consumed with fantasies of those unattainable women across the pond, I just don't see the same magic emanating from Britain these days. It's probably just the business model has changed along with everything else. Less glamour, even fewer icons.

And speaking of icons, I see a lot of names on lists here that qualify: Jo Guest, Vida Garman, Louise Hodges, Gilly Sampson...man, I still have many videos of Louise and Gilly in their primes that are simply electric. But these women are in the pantheon of greats, and should be on any list of ten or fifteen greatest, if not in the top five.

But their status is so lofty in my head, that I more often find my way to others when the mood strikes...women who for whatever reason, have reliably intrigued me over many years. In no particular order:

Lorna Morgan
Ashleigh McKenzie
Goldie Blair
Tia Jones
Stella Cox

And if Stella counts as Italian, then I'll add a Scottish lass to list: Stacey Owens.

But as many have said, paring the Isles' list to five is sort of criminal.

In no particular order, although obviously I'm stuck in a mid-noughties timewarp: !bow!
