Well, I certainly do not have much to say that has not already been articulated by others before me. Still, it's the thought that counts so bear with me.
First, I would just like to thank model_mom for finally coming up with a solution that not only reduced the mindless clutter that the Model ID thread can be sometimes, but also that somewhat ensures that we are not re-IDing. Efficiency at its finest! Everyone certainly has their favorite types of models, and favorite models that may not be known to the rest of the forum, so its wonderful to collectively help and ID. What unity we have displayed!
Second, thanks to Faith for taking the time to keep this as bloody well organized as possible. I'm more than aware that we as modelistas are so excited to ID and to be the one that solves the, metaphorically speaking, puzzle that can be a castlist. So thank you for your patience and hard work maintaing this, all the while maintaing your lists (though I'm sure the symbiotic nature of their relationship has helped to make the latter much easier).
Thirdly, thanks to every single member here who ever posted a show list, who ever knew a name that someone else didn't, and who made this thread as amazing as it has been.
Finally, I thought it would be cute to make a little list of what I have learned from this thread. You know, just to be funny and irreverant. Enjoy!
1. I am more convinced than ever that Style.com hijacks our IDs.
Well, even though we may never get credit, and it still does not prevent them from labeling Daiane as Oxana at Miu Miu (go check before they change it!), at least they're 'getting better.'
2. If you see Alyona Osmanova at a show, Alana Zimmer cannot be that far behind, and visa versa. The same is true with Irina Kulikova and Anabela Belikova.
3. I will most likely forget how to ID Vanessa Milde all over again next season, but luckily Jules will be here to remind me.
4. The moment that I was able to ID a model (quite possibly a very distorted Caroline Demarqui, if I remember correctly) based on the small freckle above her collarbone, I realized that I was probably insane. Yet, I found solace in the notion that everyone else in this thread has probably reach a very similar epiphony.
5. "Patience is a virtue!"
6. Sometimes you can have a Vogue Italia cover, a Prada Resort campaign and a D&G Resort campaign to your name and still not walk that many shows....
7. However expansive one's individual knowledge is, the collective whole of the group will always be more successful!
Cannot wait until next season everyone!

Major "hear, hear!" to everything you just posted! Especially #7...
The "pair deals" (Alana/Alyona and Anabela/Irina) definitely amused me to no end this season. Now I wonder which of the new faces will take part in future "couplings."
Ugh, this is just so sad.
I can't believe I'm taking this so seriously.

I thought about that as I was typing it. Certainly only time will tell, but I would have to guess that Karlie and Ali are the best bet. Apparently you have to be at the same agency too...

this thread has been so great and so were all the amazing contributors..
and I thought this picture was quite appropriate for the end of this thread...another season ends, the make up is off their faces and I hope all the models get a well deserved rest now (but some are not going to get ANY rest, I suppose )

the only "Supermodels" there are Stephanie, Eva, Nadja and Naomi.
Natalia, Karolina, Carmen, Angela and Isabeli have certain status.
the rest of them are nobodies

Maybe next season we should make up a fake model's name and see if she appears on the pages of style.com....
