Kim Alexis

Kim and Paulina Porizkova

Kim Alexis was definitely not under the radar, she was very popular, people knew her name and knew who she was.

She was on practically every other cover of Glamour and Mademoiselle

Kim was a NAME BRAND famous model just a few years before the Supermodel usual suspects. Same as Paulina.

The OP's statement is preposterous.

R5 it's not a statement when there's no verb

The categorization is preposterous.

She had a kind of tough look that was perfect for the 80s. I liked her.

R7 PASS

Last time I heard, Kim was a rabid right wing Christian & a devoted Pat Robertson follower.

Why all of these threads on anti-gay celebs?

She's one of the few rich & famous that hasn't had their 700 Club connections erased from the internet =

R10 you're right, we should all be waiting breathlessly for today's thread on Madonna's latest Instagram post

R12 Sorry Miss Snarky but Madonna isn't the only other option out there for the DL...

R13 this only makes sense to you

R11s link is from 2008 and she was promoting her book and a reality show she was doing.

She posts a few things about religion from time to time on her IG page but usually just generalized comments or quotes.

I was more into Kelly Emberg and Carol Alt than Kim Alexis in the latae1970s to early 1980s.

R14 I'm tired of seeing Trumper celebs giving the fawning treatment here on the DL. Kim is bigoted right wing scum.

R15 Are you that clueless? She has done numerous appearances on religious right shows over the years (where they complain about our civil rights movement & take joy in our setbacks around the globe) starting in the 90s.

That 1 just happened to pop up first on a Google search.

Kelly and Kim today.

R17 predictable insufferable contrarian DataLounger

I forgot about Kelly Emberg. Loved her! She looks wonderful in that picture, like a beautiful older Frenchwoman.

She was the same level as Renee Simonsen

I believe Kim Alexis was a health and beauty contributor for Good Morning America, back in the 1980s when that meant something.

R17 is the “THEY WERE ON THE 700 CLUB” troll.

[quote] She had a kind of tough look that was perfect for the 80s. I liked her.

"Tough"? IMO, not tough-looking at all.

She was more the very pretty girl next door than a beautiful woman.

Kelly Emberg was a knockout in her day and, from the photo at R18, ain't no slouch today.

You can call me "under radar supermodel," I not mind.

Please somebody to call me, period. No texts or tweets tho.

When I was a teenager, I thought this was the dirtiest picture ever in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue

R23 The only trolls are Kim herself & her idol Pat Robertson.

I'm simply educating the DL on some stealthy bigoted believers that they might not know about.

Hard to believe how pointing out folks who don't care about us or our issues on the DL is now considered "trolling".

R28 thinks believing in Jesus is "not caring about our issues"

R29 I'm a Christian too you dolt (just not a bigoted one like Kim).

You do know everything Pat Robertson does in his lifetime tries to take away our rights in this country or others around the globe don't you?

Political fundraising & endorsements (in various nations), broadcasts (both tv & radio around the globe), universities, entertainment studios, etc.

If Kim is willing to be connected to one of the biggest anti gay bigots on the globe than she should expect some fallout for those endorsements.

Joe Biden, Betty White, Angela Lansbury, Sunny Huston & many others are Christians who wouldn't go near Robertson & his bigotry.

Kim is cut from a different cloth...

She has a young Michelle Pfeiffer vibe

Hot MILF vibe

The words Kelly Emberg-Renee Simonsen-Kim Alexis transport me to the 80s....

Her and Paulina were plain faced compared to the other women of the era.

R4 and Carol Alt

R34 Paulina was gorgeous. She’s still a beauty. You have no idea what you’re blowing out of your ass.

Paulina was like a silent film star rarely smiling or showing her teeth. And her speaking voice sounded nothing like you thought it would.

R36 yes Paulina was almost immediately in a class by herself.

She’s catalog material at best nowadays. Blandly pretty.

Kim was mentioned right before Marilyn Monroe in that shit fest Elton John/George Michael duet Wrap Her Up.

Kim was incredibly pretty during her hey day. I think she has struggled with mental health issues (like depression and somewhat of an eating disorder.) I wonder if that is why she turned to religion.

Ableist!

ALWAYS on the cover of Glamour Mag. Beautiful!

Paulina was stunning, but she did not have a nice smile.

Kim Alexis was a generic beach blonde. Great figure, though.

Paulina was old school Hollywood to me. She didn't need to smile. She's like Capucine in a way.

Cristina Ferrare does it for me. She has a beautiful face and coloring as well as lovely hair. She modeled off that face because she's not that tall and likes to eat. She would tell photographers "I'm Cristina Ferrare slit the back of the fucking dress!" Halston she would be doing that to. Can you imagine slitting the back of a Halston dress back then? Fierce bitch she was. I dig her.

Linda Evangelista has said that she was inspired to pursue modeling after seeing Joan Severance, who looks like she could be her sister

Kim Alexis sounds like a character in a Jackie Collins novel

Kim is one of the all-time great beauties. Just stunning.

She really did have that quintessential 80s look.

Kim was the cover model of the early 1980s then she signed a big-fat contract with Revlon becoming the face of Revlon's premium Ultima II line, replacing Lauren Hutton in 1983.

Kim was a big-time model.

R10 last time i checked everyone in america is entitled to their opinion. You are just propagating facism. Democrats were never this vicious

You have to respect her for not giving into the giant balloon boobs of the eighties and stayed natural, though it would have likely benefited her career to do more lingerie and swimsuit modeling
