2. NJY - It’s kind of a game, finding out who we’ve posted. You have to learn to use the image search engines, and it takes a little effort. There is also almost always a bit of a clue in the file names. It also helps to be able to recognize faces fairly well, and to at least know the names of several of the more prominent online photography houses that specialize in this kind of picture.

   Peiper chose well today; Google Images draws a blank on this model, as does TinEye, which he refers to as TinEar, probably because it’s “deaf” to so many of the images out there. So you have to do a number of searches and look at a bunch of thumbnails. It took me about 10 minutes to find her; these pictures are from the #1 photo house, taken about 5 years ago. But his file names gave me the clues I needed.

   Once you have a lead, you look at other pictures that come up with the same search criteria. This often leads you to some forum or another (peachyforum or phun.org are tops), and those can be utter goldmines of links. Many of these models have extensive “regular” portfolios in other countries, and the forums can often reveal what their real names are, or other names they work under which can be an extensive list (which is why I refer to one of these ladies as “the girl with 100 names”; the one Peiper put up the other day I call “the girl with only a dozen names"). The last step is often a visit to some Russian site, because, holy cow, the Russkies are the total shizz-nits when it comes to full size images online. This model’s name may be Anna Voloshina, though she has done a fair amount of work under the name Helen Cuivre and various other similar names.

   One thing to remember is that when it comes to models, photographers go to extremes to come up with a unique and different look, so the same girl may be almost unrecognizable from one photo shoot to the next. That’s where being able to recognize faces and see through the glamor (in the true original sense of the word) comes in handy.

   You’ll also collect some near misses, which are still impressive, and can lead you down an enjoyable side road. Hey, it’s more fun than doing the Sunday crossword.

   When it comes to posting the images, we usually do a bit of editing for modesty’s sake, though that’s flexible. No real rules written in stone at BMEWS for that, but we are looking for beauty not skank. We also usually crop off the tag info, but I left that on the last 3 pics. You find a pic, and go visit the tag site, and maybe you find more pics.

   
   Nope, not her. A near miss. Model Aja Warren.

   
   Yup

   
   Yup

   
   Yup - and this is a quite famous picture too.

   
   This pic is a bit less famous, but you’ll often see it online when someone does one of those 40’s style cheesecake posts.

   
   Here she is again, looking older and more sophisticated, but no less appealing.

   As to how we select which pictures and which models we’re going to post in the first place, well, allow us some secrets. But I will say that there is an enormous body of work out there, places like Tumblr and many others. Fashion, impact, and art photography. Not to mention the nearly infinite amount of erotic, borderline erotic, and straight up porn. Some of it is hard to categorize, like this sensuous shot of Scarlett Johansson.

   
   Aja Warren again. Not a naughty pic at all, but DAMN, what a heart stopper she is.

   Ok, my long winded answer focused on the second model, but the first one is just as easy to find, based on the same clues and the same knowledge:
