For some reason, ’90s model Eve Salvail is on my mind. She was famous for her shaved head and the dragon tattoo on her scalp.
Here she is with Karl Lagerfeld, back in the days when he used to eat.
Jean Paul Gaultier used her a lot. Below, Eve in a Gaultier ad.
Eve is now a DJ. Here are some links about her:
- evesalvail.com
- Eve’s MySpace
- A story about her sexuality and the violent incident that caused her to quit modeling
- Eve comes out
- An old video interview from MTV’s House of Style
- An Elsa Klensch where-are-they-now video interview. (Funny, I was wondering the same thing about Elsa, the former host of Style With Elsa Klensch on CNN, which had an amazing 20-year run).
- A 2006 interview with gaywired.com
- A 2007 story from gaywired.com
- A funny little item about Naomi Campell’s cell-phone hurling ways.
Separately, greetings to all you peeps visiting me from the “glove lovers” forum! Make yourselves right at home. I’m guessing that you’re a little pervy, but whatevs! I don’t judge.
Well she is gorgeous and I can imagine Angelina Jolie as her girlfriend! But they say you have to fall down to stand up and run again, and opportunities do open up for beautiful people like her not that she sits on her behind and just wait for doors to open up but she actually takes the time out to improve and excel. That’s great, don’t you think?
I remember her and I’ve always liked her from way back then. Another one I like that seems to have been missing from the radar is Irina Pantaeva – such an inspiration!
Thanks, WendyB. Mama got a grin on her face just now when I read her your comment.
I dont remember her. maybe i was too young (too hopeful?)
She looks hot, but i still prefer ‘head’ hair on women.
I just checked. YES! I was too young! Wohoooooooooow!
Wow, I’d forgotten all about her. It’s cool that she’s djing now.
I always think it’s great when womem as gorgeous as her have the guts to shave their heads. She is stunning & different.
She is hot! And that photo of Karl shocks me a little, I forgot the old Karl!
i always feel more educated after i read your blog. i didn’t know who she was, but she is beautiful.
i also don’t judge the pervy glovelovers.
PPIEW, it’s good not to judge…but I am hoping they are not doing anything too weird with my picture!
wow. MTV’s House of Style! I totally remember when Cindy Crawford used to host this show! hehee…and there were a lot of velvet for some reason.
She is so gorgeous!
Thanks for the reminder… that Lagerfeld photo is quite a funny image…
OH MY GOD!!! I LOVE her and she was in The Fifth Element.. one of my favorite movies! w00t!!!!
I love Eve! 90’s models and 90’s fashion ads were so much cooler. I miss them. screw the 80s, bring back the 90s! Um,no I didn’t NOT say that, I don’t really want to wear 90s clothes again…do i?
she still manages to look gorgeous with a shave tattooed head.
never heard of her but she looks cool
I do remember the bold tattoo, and the occasional nudity.
Okay, mostly the nudity.
ohh I never heard of her i don’t think…
she is so fiere it’s insane!!
she is lovely…
wow i really like this girl! there should be more models like her out there now gracing the victoria secret runway – she ‘s hot! and that karl comment was hilarious!!!
wow, that is pretty bold! loved this post. xo
She looks so great bald! And my my Karl has changed…he looks healthy in that photo.
holy crap is that a real tattoo by the way??That would seriously hurt to get!
Yep, that’s a real tattoo and I bet you’re right that it hurt like hell. She talks about getting it in the House of Style video.
gorgeous!
