The final picture... Sorry for the crappiness of the scans! Hopefully a more professional scanner will be able to do this series later (it really is gorgeous, especially on paper). Anyway, for now, at least you can get the gist of it!

[Ungaro Kitty]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... but what's up with the hairy arms? I'm sure it's lightened, but it's still so obvious. Don't they wax it/nair it off?

[Cosette]

While she is definitely beautiful, I'm really not a fan of her eyes. They don't seem to be very focused, nor do I feel they show very much emotion.

[lady grey]

actually small light arm hairs are really cute, to me.
i cannot say the same about leg or underarm hair!!

those b&w's are stunning i may have to buy that 10.

val fans MUST find the march nippon vogue [julia cover] there is a nautical edit with val that is just as great as julia's more edgy shoot.

valentina is pretty much in the top 10 girls of 2005 now, I wonder how long models.com will take to say that?

Yes- Valentina's flaw is that she has no flaws. But wait, that means she is flawed, and thus transcends the generic and becomes the highly coveted "edgy"! Who knew?
Thanks for the scans

[Atelier]

Those 10 b&w photos are stunning.

[Adore]

Is this Valentina? It's from Vogue IT, and it looks like her, but I'm not 100% sure!

[Nader]

that's definitely her. The pics youve all been posting are gorrrrrrgeous!!! Thanks for keeping this thread alive (and lets hope there's a lot more of her everywhere)
