From a 2000 TV GUIDE article:
"Madison Michele, 28-year-old host of VH1's Back-to-Back Videos, appeared in a white bikini for Gear's
November issue, a move she hopes will help her segue from introducing
music clips to acting. The cover is now included in her press kit. "It's
a great public relations vehicle. It's as simple as that," says
Michele, a former Wonderbra model. On a two-page spread inside, Michele
is topless and lying face down on a floor. "You can't take a job like
that and expect to wear a cardigan," she says. She judges the cover a
success: After Gear, Elle magazine came calling to use her in a fashion layout. "One thing leads to another," Michele says.
"
So, at some point in 2000-2001, Madison had a layout in ELLE Magazine? I've never seen this anywhere. If anyone has any scans, please let me know!
Pretty sure the black sequin top is from that shoot.

Can't find anything more definitive.

For some reason, I assumed those two were from the GEAR shoot. You could very well be right, tho. Hopefully more will surface oneday.
ReplyDeleteA large print of the second one was hanging on the wall in Elle's former offices, which is what makes me think it is theirs :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have it narrowed down to a couple of years, you can probably find it using a periodical search at a library.
