This photo set of Ona was published in July 2000 Voluptuous, several years after she originally modeled for SCORE in London. Magazine editors used to stash photo sets when they had a surplus, knowing that one day they would need to find the right set and the right girl for that proverbial rainy day. These photos of Ona came in handy for the magazine’s editor when he was preparing that issue. As always, Ona had that happy-go-lucky expression that was very inviting.
Readers and web members sometimes request we find a model from an earlier time and photograph her again. There are a few reasons we don’t usually do that. The main reason is that it’s almost always better to remember a girl the way she looked when she was young and in full bloom and not the way she looks now. There are exceptions, of course, such as Haley Hills aka Tabatha Jordan, whom we photographed again after close to 20 years.
“You never know about girls,” wrote one of our editors. “Some keep on posing; others feel it’s a phase of life that’s meant to be tried, enjoyed and left behind to pursue life’s other ventures.”
