Model/fitness expert Nancy Donahue

Nancy Donahue was one of the coolest, loveliest blonde models of the eighties. Debuting in 1979, she accumulated a portfolio that included editorial work for Vogue, Redbook and Mademoiselle and Helena Rubenstein's British ad campaign, as well as American campaigns for brands like Clairol.

She also became a certified fitness trainer, and she's taught and trained physical fitness in health clubs in her native Massachusetts.


Nancy Donahue recently began modeling again. The picture below, from Wikipedia, is from 2009.


She clearly became more beautiful over the previous thirty years. :-)

Alva Chinn was one of the most striking and stunning models of the early 1980s.

Today Alva Chinn is an actress and a yoga instructor. Both pictures below were taken in 2009, when she was 57.



She says that men look at her more often these days than when she was a model.



I can see why. :-)
