I haven't seen Louise, Gail and Beverly in a long time. Thanks for the memories.

Whatever happened to Beverly Peele? She used to be huge in the mid-90s.

@asian models blogger-Beverly Peele developed at powder habit and she was accused of identity theft.

She started when she was 12 and had no adult supervision. If her mother had escorted her around like Tyra's maybe she would be in a different place now.

@sdg-Gail had her own Tv show for awhile and used to come on Good Morning America.

I wonder what happened to Louise Vent myself. She from Holland. There was a blonde light skinned blk model who worked with Veronica Webb in the Revlon ad.

I remember that blonde model. I think her name was Aya Thorgen.
