Confirmed...says the former Air Force weapons tech. They're air rifles with the air supply disconnected.

I believe we had this conversation not long ago. I've found that many (most?) online forums are inhabited mostly by the older and younger folks. We're retired and have the time to dabble in our life-long hobbies, while younger folks are enjoying developing these interests. The late 20's and older are busy with careers and family and so have little time for these shenanigans. I see the same in the many graphics forums and Discord servers I take part in. I'm 68 and peddled (on a non-electric bike) 12,373 kms this year! So don't call me decrepit. ("Hope my knees survive the winter though...")

And the same to everyone from the Canadian East coast. I've gotten some hard-to-find ID's and made a couple of friends here. That's one of the aspects of this place that's so fun.

Thanks for that tidbit of information about Kata. I've collected Playboy mags for decades and she was one of my favourites.

We're getting a bit....a lot off topic but I'll counter with this one.... I've owned this beauty for 48 years now. First car I ever bought and just hung on to her all this time.

Ladies can appreciate cars too. My wife knows the difference between a Stromberg, Weber and SU carburettor. She doesn't care about them but she knows.

Thanks for these. We can't have enough of both Nancy and Eva.

Shouldn't we have a party? It might be a record here.

Thanks again, yes I remember that thread. I've even written to Demetrios and asked, unfortunately I didn't get a reply.

Do you mean the model I posted? I know she's not Clotilde Christian Colby. I was referring to the model in the Ralph Lauren Tuxedo perfume ad. SHE looks a lot (exactly?) like my mystery model. I have dozens of images of her and know that gorgeous face well. It's been haunting me since I first saw her modelling in the early 90's in a bridal magazine. Thanks for your input. I've been thinking of offering a Starbucks gift coupon for successful ID of this model. The lady who runs the Tumblr blog 'DozyDawn' took a stab at it last year, using some facial recognition service she subscribes too but it drew a blank.

She looks a lot like the model I've been trying to ID for years. The lady in question modelled only for Demetrios bridal around 1990 plus a lingerie magazine from the time...

I follow the 'data hoarders' sub Reddit on Reddit and they have some excellent guides to archiving stuff. I'll make a thread on BlueAcadia's new site regarding archiving for the cheapskate.

I wonder if the mods would allow a buy-n-sell thread on Bellazon?

Greed...good old fashioned greed. Probably a bit of pig-headedness too. A person will see a magazine being offered for say $180 and thinks, "That's what it's 'going for.'" It's not 'going for' that much, it's just what someone is asking. They don't follow it and see what it sells for, if it sells at all. They get it in their head that this is what it's worth and that figure sticks. Every month or two the seller will drop the price a few bucks but of course it makes no difference. I mentioned this to Ebay but of course they won't listen to me, while in the same breath they complain that sales are waaaaay down. They need to bring back listing fees. I also watch car parts for my vintage car and see the same problem. The smart sellers listing for low prices, get a bunch of people into a bidding war and wind up selling while the greedy so-n-so's watch their items sit there for months.

I've been watching several older bridal mags on Ebay for over two years and the greedy so-n-so wants 200 bucks for them! In almost every case I'll see the same mag come up for a reasonable price and I jump on it. I'll take a screenshot of the price I paid and send it to the greedy seller.
