Does anyone know Melanie by another name, or have additional information about her?

I don't think I'm stretching things to state that I think Melanie Peake is the same model as Melanie? Same chair, swirl in floor/background colour line (but transposed), etc.

Two more small pics. of Melanie from Newlook (Fr) no.41, 1987-01, found on the web:

This page confirms that the Newlook no.41 pictorial of Melanie was photog. by Stephen Hicks. (Dead link removed)

Should we solve this one as Melanie Peake?
ID in print from Australian Penthouse.

I don't see a thread by that name in our forum.
Not sure she needs a thread.
Looks like only one photo session so far.

Anyone else got something to add?

Actually, I shouldn't have implied that this girl doesn't need a thread.
I certainly didn't intend to imply that this content should be trashed.

Mainly was thinking that there's not enough of her for MIR to move/start a model thread from this thread.
Especially with our current backlog.
Maybe that should be discussed more, but not in this thread.

In the meantime, I believe members could, and maybe should start one.
It is a solid ID, in print, and searchable, so a suitable ID to start with.
Then again, I don't know the model section requirements precisely.
Is the AUPH ID acceptable there?
I think it should be, but it's not my call.

The bottom line is that she is obviously a professional model.
Even though we only have one session so far, there might be more.
Best way to figure that out is start a model thread for her.
Get more visibility there than here.

Plenty of model threads have been started with one session, and more was found.

I mainly wanted to know if this request could/should be solved.
Is MIR still denying AUPH IDs because of reliability complaints?
I hope not, but that's not my call either.

Has anyone found more of her yet?

Penthouse Australia is notoriously unreliable with published model names although I think we did actually find one instance which used her common name. Also the model thread Mods would want more material than this to start a thread.

well, it's at least a Stephen Hicks ID and i could list plenty of threads based on names coming from Digital Desire / DDGirls publications.

**effCup** · November 8th, 2015, 01:15 PM

Just to clarify: the above single AUPH pictorial shows at least two and possibly more different photographic "settings" or "sessions". That's pretty common to many mag. pictorials from the 1980s.

The above model appears in two different mags.: Newlook & AUPH, although we don't have scans of the complete Newlook pictorial. The Newlook pictorial seems to have included at least some different pictures from the AUPH one.

I have seen the same room/skylight pattern in at least one other model pictorial, although the room was painted/decorated quite differently. Have since forgotten where I saw that, sorry.

edit: I may have been thinking of this setting used in Sunny Woods' PH pictorial, i.e. skylight pattern seems familiar?

A DDG name would be acceptable as a thread title but what I meant is they want more quantity to start a thread.

I decided to continue this discussion on the reliability discussion thread here
