I've been a real fan of Gail Elliott for many years. I found her work as a model to be completely alluring - her beauty is timeless. Still, so little is known about her. How did she get started? What was it like working in the modelling industry back in the 1980s & 1990s? I've always wished that Gail would write an autobiography. I think it would be a fascinating insight into the way things once were.
With that it mind, I'm thinking about a Kickstarter campaign to raise money that would give Gail the incentive to write it. Imagine all the wonderful photographs that could be included. Maybe even some candids.
At the moment, I've no idea how I would go about starting this. Obviously, I cannot contact Gail or her management unless it was a viable proposition. This means I would need to present them with some idea that there is enough interest in this.
With that in mind, I am canvassing names and email addresses to get some idea of people's interest.
Giving me this information is not any kind of financial commitment on your part. It's simply so I can get an idea of numbers.
If you want to add your name and email, I've included a form on my blog. This information is completely confidential. As an additional security measure, you’ll need to pm for a password, this will let you register your interest. I don’t want to deal with people just spamming my site.

I’ve been on TFS for some years now so I hope people can trust me.
Remember, at this stage, it’s for gauging interested numbers of people only.
The contact form will remain active for 30 days, after which time it will be removed.
Guys, if enough people show an interest, we can make it happen.
Best Wishes,

I just had my Next Directory Autumn/Winter 1988 shipped to Japan this last week. I took it to an Imaging Service in Osaka and had them done on a flatbed A3 scanner at 600 ppi.
The image box hosted photos are roughly 2-3 mb each.
The original images in the separate dropbox link are full resolution (between 27 & 35mb each) - I hope you like them.
The other model in one or two photographs I would have to check on.
The photography, editorial and makeup credits listed at the back of the catalogue list dozens of people so it’s impossible for me to say who is responsible for Gail’s work.
You’ll also notice that one or two pages actually still have the swatches of cloth attached to them so that people who wanted to order the clothes could get an idea of the material. I did toy with the idea of using Content Aware Fill to remove them but figured they would give it a more vintage touch to leave them in.
There is also a Stephanie Seymour section that I’ll get around to at some point. A very young Uma Thurman is in there somewhere too.
These images of Gail Elliott only ever appeared in this catalogue - I’ve never seen them anywhere else.
I’m going to buy a flatbed A3 scanner sometime in the future because the cost of paying a company to do it is quite expensive - plus I think I can get better results at home where I have more time to tweak the images, adjust levels etc in Photoshop.
If you want the full 600 ppi images they are in the Dropbox folder below.

I must be going mad. I thought I'd posted that in this thread somewhere already. Weird.
