This section includes details on a number of models - the fact that they don't have their own page does not mean that they are any less important or successful than the ones that do - simply we don't have enough data/pictures on them. If we manage to get hold of enough material for a particular girl she will get her own page - so don't blame us for favoring some models over others. We would be especially glad if the models themselves or their agents contacted us and supply us with the data - it would save us a lot of money too.

Tatiana Nikiforova (above left and in the left pic) is with Elite NY - she was one of the 1994 "Model Look" international final Russian contestants, along with Natalia Semanova and Paulina Tacheva.  She was recently seen on the cover of Canadian magazine FLARE - the left pic is an early agency publicity pic

The girls on the above  photo are: From left, Irina Bondarenko (featured elsewhere in this site), Maria Bitaeva, Elena Lyandres and a very young Natalia Semanova, who was the 1994 Look winner.
