Speaking of corporate hotties, I like Jonathan Ive [Apple’s Industrial Design senior VP.](http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/ivephoto.html)

My friend [Eva](http://evavera.hyves.nl/album/27183578/Vrienden/qQJSb63m/fotos/256224099/0/oZhv/) is beautiful, even at 44 and after a rough life. In her twenties, she was so stunning that she was the queen of her towns gothic scene.

Once again, not Stokke.

That’s a playboy model, not in the same age group (Stokke would currently be 21, where that girl is in her mid 20s and is a playboy model), and doesn’t look anything at all like her.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at, she’s not done anything professional as far as Ive seen. She hasn’t done modeling, or anything like that, a quick – proficient – google would tell you that much.

And Deepa above her is IMHO even better looking! 🙂

And **Maastricht** ’s friend has an enchanting smile.

How thoughtfully dismissive of you. :rolleyes:

Somebody’s bound to say it, so I may as well be the one.

One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn’t see me at all, but I’ll bet a month hasn’t gone by since that I haven’t thought of that girl.

I am very open to hearing that the photo I linked to is not the pole vaulter; I just didn’t appreciate your dismissive comment about Google search. The site I found stated that the photo was Stokke. Are websites reliable? nah. But am I at work, did a quickie search and tried to point out a photo that _appeared_ to show that the pole vaulter had gone Danica Patrick on us? Yep - but if that ain’t her, it ain’t her…

The name of the photo itself, Waite79, should have given you a clue (that, and it looked nothing like her, except the hair color).

> The following is a list of Playboy Playmates of 2006. Playboy magazine names its Playmate of the Month each month throughout the year.
> Athena Lundberg (born April 12, 1986) is an American model. She was born in Mountain View, California. She is Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for January 2006. Her centerfold was photographed by Stephen Wayda. She had appeared in Playboy TV's Sexy Girls Next Door contest as Athena Dawnelle, winning the opportunity to become a Playmate.
> Cassandra Ly...

I found that link after googling the name of the photo, Waite, without the numbers, and Playboy (“waite playboy”).

I acknowledge your superior Google Fu - you clearly take the act of tracking down hottie photos more seriously than I do. Let’s be done with this.
