Looks very, very similar--e.g. nose esp. side-on, eyes, brows, ears...
My only slight reservation is not being able to match any of mystery's spots--one notable underside of her right boob, one above her right boob. Karen seems almost clean of any spots. If Parade have done that then it'd be a lot of work as mystery has quite a few spots to clean.

A few freckles above boobs here, similar to mystery but not an easy/ready match?

Regarding boob freckles, there is also this:

I 100% think they are the same girl Effcup - facially they are basically identical. I do agree with you on the lack of the mole/freckles, but that could easily have been done by the makeup artist using concealer rather than any post-photo shenanigans...

Could be, but have another look at mystery's spots & where they all are. It would take a lot of effort using Photoshop, and it would take a lot of effort using concealer cream. /shrug/ & if they did either then why the spots still showing on Karen's chest in the pic above? Can you match them with mystery? & why does Karen's neck have spots that mystery's lacks? In short, all the things I wrote about in my earlier post.

A note/reminder for everyone: best to look for differences rather than similarities when comparing models. Somewhere in the bowels of MIR there's an excellent post on precisely this point, and why, by Brooksie. Hmm, I might even have found it, see here.

fair points - she seems to have the mole on her boob on the cover that beutelwolf posted, just not on the picture from inside the mag (it's clearly the same set even though they are from different mags - agreed?)

one thing I have noticed (just a general observation) is that the magazine editor (or one of their minions) would often mirror an image in order to fit in text boxes, or just make the poses of the model better fit the page. I'm no expert on typesetting and the like, but I do think that the mirroring of images sometimes inadvertently makes that positive ID more difficult.

OK, I think this scan shows that Karen Kenton is Yasmine:

There's also one dark and one very faint spot between her boobs on the (transposed) Sexy cover:


that can be matched here (bottom):


and this one (bottom) confirms that the boob underside spot is the same side as the diagonal "line" above her boob.


That areola is also just slightly irregular, i.e. like there's a slight "bite"/flattened edge out of the circle at 1-2 o'clock. On the Sexy cover the corresponding is at ~10 o'clock.

nice detective work effCup - I like the fact that you back up my gut feelings with actual hard evidence and proof.. :-D now if only we could find out more about her gorgeous brunette buddy Krisztina...

Lots of good work here to connect "mystery" to other images in other publications.

We have many names, and I am having determining if there is one that we can/should adopt as definitive.

Is "Karen Kenton (aka: Yasmine)" acceptable?

Do you mean?:

Sasha has a separate query here.

An aside: we should always aspire to find evidence wherever possible, rather than rely upon feeling/suspicion/whatever. That's not to disregard those other things as they're not irrelevant, just that evidence is so much more preferable.

Yes, KK is the first two-part name for her, but Yasmine | Yasmin are used in several places including Twistys/indexxx (& one possible Jasmine) so probably important to add Yasmine to thread title rather than just posts within.
