Does anyone know the above model by another name, or have additional information about her?

I and many others have requested her identification here at VEF. (Those threads seem to have vanished. )

The best I can recall is that she has had two other major shoots by Mr Defrancesco and is possibly named Robyn Levalle (also Robin Lavelle, Gianna, & Helen). Try looking for Penthouse 1993, May and in Knave magazine around your & my dates.

I hope this helps!

Here are samples with some magazine IDs, and pics from the second & third shoots I mentioned.

Note that there is a Mayfair or Men Only mag set, below, as well.

I don't really want to post these in an ID thread but ...

i) ... all were posted here originally (and may not be complete scan sets).
ii) ... they are not my scans and I can't find them here at VEF anymore.
iii) ... the images, mag sources, and/or scanner sources may significantly help someone find an ID.
iiii) ... I don't know where else to put them.

If there is a better place to post them, please tell me where and I'll move them.

There seem to be at least three magazine/scanner sources for the 'Schooled' sets. All info I have is in the file names as there isn't much.

Set 1 (7 scans)


Set 2 (4 scans)


Set 3 (9 scans)


Set 3+ Different scanner (?) but same magazine (?) (1 scan)


I hope they help,
e.d.

Excellent work, thanks e.d. So the sets you've found are:

1. AUPH, 1993-05 as Robyn Levalle - scans here.
2. AUPH, 1994-08 as Robin - scans linked above.
3. Mayfair 28-06, 1993 as Sally Cosby - scans here.
4. unknown mag. as Helen
5. unknown mag. as Robin Lavelle - note three spelling differences from AUPH, probably as named in mag. rather than scanner typo. error?
6. the "schooled" digital slides set.

I'm not sure where the name "Gianna" comes in? Nor could I find anything of mystery in the Knave 1990s thread.

Thank you and you're welcome effCup.

I'll respond in parts for easier understanding:

The pics I posted were collected over 15+ years and scraped from my hard drives just before posting; you found some of the threads here at VEF.

Most of the pics I posted came from VEF posts; however, some come from Usenet (like the scan in '3+') and the least amount came from the rest of the internet. For example, Helen/Knave "set" actually came from all three sources, with no single source having all the pics.

About a year ago I found bits of the "Schooled" pictorial in at least one other PH issue that wasn't printed in Auz or USA (these were poor scans; also the scanner's focus was on a different model/subject). AUPH and Mayfair have simply published the largest collections of these photos from which more have been decently scanned over time.

If the "Schooled" sets appeared in more than one magazine on more than one continent, then it seems very likely that Mr. Defrancesco's other photos did, too.

More below.

"Robin" or "Robyn" names seem to appear mostly in the various PH issues. At the moment it seems AUPH in VEF is our only source of these issues.

This is the only 'Cosby' I have seen published. In one of the past VEF efforts at identification, it was noted by someone that the oldest scans (whatever the date of published sources)--even from different scanners--all referenced the names Leval/Lavel in some form. The significance of either of these observations is unknown.

FWIW: When I found these scans of 'Helen', each of the posters stated they came from some sort of lingerie issue of Knave magazine. (Of course, very few posting enthusiasts bother with mag publishing dates unless posting mag covers or csv files. )

I am not sure if the various spellings of Robin/Robyn and Lavel/Leval can or should be attributed to a single cause or source. Everyone accepts these things:
AUPH 'creates' names; scanners make spelling mistakes; many models and authors choose professional pseudonyms; publishers make mistakes--sometimes very bad ones; publishers sometimes publish correct names accidently; translating names between languages is never easy or straight forward; and it seems rare that the porn industry itself even cares about consistency in names and identities--I am surprised that certain publishers in the '70s & '80s could publish a single article or paragraph and consistently use the same spelling for some models!

I don't remember where "Gianna" first appeared. I can only recall that the typeface was the magazine's (not the scanner's addition), the quality of scans was less than the Helen/Knave and Schooled-set-1 sets, and the photos came from one of those two photoshoots. (As a further note, Mrs e.d. and I hate long file names, but we appreciate accuracy out of respect for the models' sakes.)

I hope I'm done,
e.d.

Unseen so they may not be the same as mystery, but for candidates a search of wc shows three sets named "Helen" in Knave from roughly the right era:

24-05, 1992, photog. MRA.
25-06, 1993, photog. Ulf Stjernbo.
27 Summer Speical no.02, 1995, photog. James Freeman.

Wanted to know the ID for this beauty for ages now, thanks in advance for any potential help.

The above request has been merged into this followup thread. I think the set is from Gallery December 1993 and posted by billy707 here. It can also be found at ATK Archives where she is called Gizella.

From the info posted above by Dick Needle, here are her model pages @ theNude and @ indexxx which include Gizella @ ATK and another AKA of Gitta @ 1By-Day:
