Yes, but note that I'm not asking for the model's "real name", just her "most widely accepted" professional alias--a la "Ford Prefect"... as I seem to keep harping on.
I agree it's an obviously made-up name, but aren't
all professional names made-up, whether they're "believable" or not? Should we only accept professional names that are also "believable"? Some apparently accepted model ids include the likes of
Pattycake aka Patty Cake--is that Patty, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Cake?--plus various others.
I created this model id request thread to ask others if they know this model by any other names. I suppose I could instead simply have created a softcore model thread for Ophelia Richards & added a link to Pearl, but I think that would be a worse approach? If no other names/ids/pictorials turn up then we perhaps could/should create a model thread, but I wanted to first open the door for any other aliases.
NB, I know/think your comments were not meant critically or meanly, & my response is likewise not meant to (& hopefully does not) sound nasty.
On the topic of "believability" of professional aliases, here's a small (AUPH) selection, the first two "from" Thailand:
Lawan Kamnak
Phuc
& one "from" Malaysia:
Kiara Vandt
Regarding that last, it would appear from
this model id request thread that it is not going to be used as an id--perhaps because it doesn't sound Malaysian enough to be believable?
Which, BTW, I agree with, but that still brings us back to Patty Cake et al. The real difference is not so much the believability of a name
per se, but rather how widely it's used--a test which Patty Cake clearly passes. The problem, then, is with models of whom we only have/know of 1-2 pictorials.
