She's a statuesque amazon with a great attitude and is a fabulous teacher who embraced everything Aveline had to offer.Ampersand Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245377686193859488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-1170160460069370942007-01-30T23:34:00.000+11:002007-01-30T23:34:00.000+11:00Thanks for posting about her life modeling, I foun...Thanks for posting about her life modeling, I found your post through bunnikins set of links. Aveline started life modeling a little while after me and I loved the sense of theatre she brought to it, a lot of stamina too. I modeled with her once (some amazing wierd drawings from that, in one I look like I'm about to gnaw off her ankle while she's reading a book) and it was such hard work to keep up.<BR/><BR/>I love the creative space of life modeling, she had this great idea of life modelings running classes, I guess a proletariat takeover + really throwing out the window the idea of the model as a passive object.<BR/><BR/>... I try to model once a year, just to keep my eye in, it's nice trade to have. I may have to incorporate bodypaint in memory of her. If you don't mind me asking who was the artist friend you spoke of? my mind is rusty and I'd be interested to know if I'd ever worked for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-1170139806013816882007-01-30T17:50:00.000+11:002007-01-30T17:50:00.000+11:00Aveline should have been the poster child for a ne...Aveline should have been the poster child for a new and better modelling industry. She knew what she looked like, was pretty cool with that - though not above making a few alterations where it twisted a fancy. The closest she could manage to giving a damn what anyone thought was enjoying watching the norms twitch. I'm among those who wishes I had known her better, but I always liked hanging out with someone who so exuberantly enjoyed herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-1170139018348840892007-01-30T17:36:00.000+11:002007-01-30T17:36:00.000+11:00I too say small world.

Once you mentioned on For Battle about the drawing classes I remembered her saying how much she enjoyed them and being a different shape really was unique.
