[Linky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondes_Have_More_Fun#/media/File:Rod_Stewart_-_Blondes_Have_More_Fun_(album_cover).jpg). Could not find an obvious answer poking around. ---

I don’t have an answer but who do you \*think \*it is? Is there reason to think it’s someone whose name you would recognize? Does she resemble your long lost love? Do you suspect it’s a man, baby?😛 ---

Most likely, brunette model #2, sent over from the Ford modeling agency. ---

The [back cover](https://img.discogs.com/B-Xg6A3aMDOr42patfmiC_xPpLE=/fit-in/600x607/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1159160-1475012729-2834.jpeg.jpg) is definitely [Alana](https://secure.i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02126/alana_2126231b.jpg), his partner at the time. I suspect that’s her on the front too, with the hair retouched to look dark. ---
