About a year ago, a woman from my synagogue showed up with an Abercrombie shopping bag she thought I’d find interesting. It had me on it. That is to say, it was a black and white photo of what looked very much like myself in revealing clothes. Either I have an alternate personality with a lucrative modeling career, or I have a long-lost identical twin sister who works for A&F. Seriously, I don’t know who the model is. I don’t know where to find information about the bag online, or even just a photo of it. I tried again tonight, with about a blajillion different search phrases, and I still didn’t find the bag (well, except for one picture where it was extremly defaced). And so, I give up. Henceforth, the bag will remain a mystery. Unless I wake up in a modeling studio with no memory of how I got there, I guess. ---

Have you tried contacting Abercrombie and Fitch? Their marketing department could probably help identify the bag in question, as well as the model used for it. ---

Have you tried [eBay](http://cgi.ebay.com/ABERCROMBIE-%26-FITCH-Lot-of-24-Model-Bags---Bruce-Weber_W0QQitemZ370178989298QQcmdZViewItem)? Apparently some of the bags are collectible “22 of the bags are picture bags featuring the HOT Models of famed photographer [Bruce Weber](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Weber_(photographer)).” You could hit Barnes and Noble and look up a [coffee table book of Weber’s photographs](http://www.amazon.com/Bruce-Weber/dp/0821218883/ref=pd_sim_b_2) and see if you find the image you’re looking for. Or, maybe it’s [this one](http://www.cheapsmet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/abercrombie.jpg)? If so, can we do a visual compare and contrast exercise? Enjoy, Steven ---

I’ve sorta found it. That is, I’ve found a bag with what looks like the same model, wearing the same clothes, also at a beach. But from a different angle.

Is this the bag you mean when you write that it’s extremely defaced? [http://i.usatoday.net/money/\_photos/2007/03/09/teen-retailersx.jpg](http://i.usatoday.net/money/_photos/2007/03/09/teen-retailersx.jpg) All the A&F models are hot. sigh. ---

Everyone seems to think I’m a guy. Maybe I should put “female” in my sig? (I actually did that on another message board). By the way, just to clarify: Tessa looks like me from the neck up. The body looks nothing like me- I’m much smaller in all respects. Also… I admit that the title of this thread may be a lie. I was sorta hoping to harness the power of the collective horniness of the SDMB to help me find the picture I was looking for. Good job, guys. ---

> [@Malleus\_Incus\_Stapes](#): > > Everyone seems to think I’m a guy. Maybe I should put “female” in my sig? (I actually did that on another message board). I definitely thought you were a guy. Now I think you’re a hot guy with long hair and women’s clothing. Eventually you may transmogrify to a female in my psyche.
