Impossible to tell. SLY was married to a German, and Germans wear the wedding ring on their right hand. You'd have to ask her, otherwise we're guessing

Never noticed that fingernail, she's one of a kind

I read years ago (I think from a Hans Moser post) that it was done initially in a Hanover salon - it may have been one of the salon's trademark treatments at the time. They lived in that area in the early 90's before the move to Ibiza. Think they moved to Ibiza about 1992, but perhaps Cumquat99 could confirm.

This gets more & more interesting:
Further to my theory that Sarah's golden fingernail could symbolise her marriage, it turns out that Teresa Orlowski had one too.
Sarah, being English wore her wedding & engagement rings on her left hand, together with the fingernail, while Teresa, being Polish, had hers on the right.
I guess that it must've been something that Hans Moser did for his partners.

with Hans having passed, I wonder what has happened to Sarah's archive, which must be pretty extensive?

It's been 2½ years since Hans died and nothing has been done with any of his material, so I should think that anyone who had/has access to it cannot be bothered to do anything with it. By now it's probably pushed to the back of a cupboard, forgotten about, or lying on some rubbish dump. It's a great shame really, I would have loved to have seen the complete unedited movie scenes, with all the mistakes, etc, left in, plus the complete sets of the photo shoots, with all the bad photos also left in.

I got the impression that Mike Hunter had taken over the marketing and had repackaged a lot of the original SLY videos. I assumed he had done a deal with Hans before Hans passed away. He seems to have been another German porn producer.
Perhaps Hans had given up fighting against the free downloading of Sarah's videos and thought it was time to move on.
You never seem to see SLY videos in the sex shops these days, but I guess it's over 20 years since she quit the scene so no real surprise. Just old devotees like us who thought she was the best and retain the memories and the videos.

I agree they are most probably sitting around gathering dust, but I just wonder where they are and whether the archives could be bought for a reasonable price ;-) it wouldn't surprise me if there are unreleased scenes as well as the unedited film.

I assume it was Hans trying to revive the website not long before he died, so I guess the Mike Hunter stuff was a one off deal?

My impression is that Hans was very protective of high production quality and would never have considered releasing any out take or behind the scenes material. Like most of us I would love the chance to see the real "warts and all" originals but I seriously doubt that they will still exist after all these years.

I love to hear the occasional directors whispered instructions to Sarah whilst she is "working" - a number of these did make it into the final production version.
