29 How to download and view the pictures (Supermodels)
Read the FAQ for alt.binaries.pictures.d. If your site doesn't get
that group, or expires it quickly, look in news.answers, or ftp it
from rtfm.mit.edu. Jim Howard has done an excellent job of
explaining this, much better than I could. He describes the
necessary steps and programs on a wide variety of systems, and
tells you where to find them on the net.
Supermodel pictures are usually available in
alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels (usually abbreviated a.b.p.s or
abps) and alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities (abpc).
NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1995--Next Management, the New
York City-based modeling agency, is distributing the first interactive
CD-ROM for model selection, supplementing the traditional promotional book,
it was announced today by Next co-owners Faith Kates and Joel Wilkenfeld.
Next is the first agency to commission a CD-ROM featuring full-motion
video. Viewers can employ the interactive medium to its fullest. Each
model's entire book, and her complete stats are available at the click of
the mouse from anywhere within the application. Clicking on Yasmeen Ghauri
hijacking a taxi for example, brings up Yasmeen's book and stats. This,
plus an efficient search and sort facility, makes the Next CD-ROM product
stylish, entertaining and practical.
"This innovation provides clients with the unique ability to review a
model's skill in both still photography and full-motion video environments,"
said Kates.
Added Wilkenfeld, "We feel the convenience of this resource is
invaluable to our busy clientele and provides them with a more
comprehensive overview of each model's strengths and abilities."
Formatted for MAC, the interactive resource is being distributed to art
directors at ad agencies and magazines, model editors, catalog publishers,
photographers and designers. Accompanying the CD-ROM is the traditional
promotional book containing the models still photographs and statistics.
Derek Penn, president of mindandmedia, inc., a New York based
interactive media software firm, designed the story ideas and application
architecture in collaboration with the noted photographer/director Thierry
Le Goues and art director Doug Lloyd.
Shot on location in the streets, prisons, peep-shows and back alleys of
New York City, the CD-ROM and book have a distinct high-fashion fantasy
esthetic.
In business for just six years, and with affiliate offices in Paris,
Milan and Canada, and branches in South Beach, Fla. and Los Angeles, Next
is now among the largest agencies in the country. In the fall of 1994 they
moved into their own building in Soho.
Among the women represented by Next are Yasmeen Ghauri, Angie Everhart,
Estelle Hallyday, Judit Masco, Tanya Fourie, Stacey Williams, Rebecca
Romijn, Milla and Brandi.
