Indeed it could, but it lacks a solve date and the reasoning that led to it. What I can tell you is that the thread has had its current title since 2007, and everyone accepted it. The Anette aka was only added in 2012, 5 years later, but not adopted as the lead-name

It can certainly be argued that a certain name is "perhaps better-known" as you put it, because that name appears in one or two individual issues more. But that does not necessarily mean that it's better-known, because it does not take distribution numbers into account, or the fact that only enthusiasts would have remembered it anyway -- people are much more likely to learn names from this site than they ever were from decades old magazines

What we're also aware, and wary of, is that some Members -- and I'm not looking at you -- are passionate about their favorites. We had an interesting case some months ago in CP when a former Admin no less, got in a terrible mood over two pornstars who had the same aka's, ie, several of them, including the main name. It turned out his favorite was not the first to use his preferred name for her, so she was given a different front-name with his preferred name as an aka. He wasn't rude to us, but he's in America and I live next to Russia, and I could hear the hissing & spitting from here

At any rate, that is why name changes in established threads sometimes need compelling reasons. And please remember, we have no skin in the game, so there's no bias

Yet the names used on this site are usually taken from those very same decades-old magazines. So I'm not sure where that leaves your argument?

As to circulations, if you're interested I can give you fairly precise figures for Mayfair from that time. They're taken from ABC, the Audit Bureau of Circulations, which (many) mags. belong(ed) to in order to help them calculate/justify their prices to would-be advertisers. There are branches of ABC in most/many countries of the world.

1977-04 (one month after the publication of the Josephine Moore pictorial): UK circs. for Mayfair mag. were 423,813.
1977-10 (two months prior to the Jacqueline Crowther pictorial): 448,146
1978-05 (three months after the Anette Dybdal pictorial): 462,928

So this was a period of (slightly) rising (average) monthly circulations in the UK market, for Mayfair.

Those ABC figures were published within the pages of Mayfair magazine itself, and usually updated on a (roughly) six-monthly basis.

Add to that (last?) the (unknown to me) circulation of the Italian mag. Playmen from 1977-08 where they named her Annette. /shrug/

Also there's perhaps the audience/viewership for Miss Denmark and Miss World to consider?

Many vef members who browse model threads perhaps do not care much if at all what name(s) the models are given, they maybe just want the pics. Perhaps it is only, or mainly, those who spend some time in MIR who do, who (have to) give some thought to the issues concerning best-known-as names, because that is where those issues crop up repeatedly.

If you want not only solve dates but also reasoning(s) for MIR solves/model name decisions, you'll have to spend a fair bit of time in the MIR section observing how the mods there operate & make their decisions.

I have previously noted (elsewhere on vef) that I think it would be very helpful for many mods. to do precisely that: to take part in MIR for awhile (by which I mean over the course of several months, as it takes time for the many different dimensions of stuff to "crop up") in order to really learn about such issues, to gain a better understanding of their implications. Not all at once, of course, but perhaps mods could volunteer/rotate in on a trial basis.

edit: I've since been told the Playmen issue was instead 1977-06.

What you're leaving out is that VEF Members have known her under the present name for 10 years with no complaint, and that's a good reason not to confuse the issue

All her aka's are given in the thread, and can easily be found. That suffices for this model

And this should conclude the discussion. She can be found under all her aliases with the proper use of the search function.

I could not help but notice that there are a lot of blank spaces for removed pictures in the Michelle Willings thread, which we are never likely to see restored. The thread is therefore quite messy.

Edit: You're right, lawyers & imagevenue strike again. The thread was cleaned in February, so this is a recent takedown

If anyone wishes to re-up, he's very welcome!

Astrid Behrens = Barbara Zimmermann
The article in here mentions that B.Z. is a pseudonym of A.S..

Ave !


Sorry, but this Julie Trowell - never heard - is NOT Jeanette Dyrkjaer. Absolutely other nipples and tip of the nose.
