We return once again to one of our favorite models of times past—the adorable Amanda Torrance! Much of her modeling work was for the Milwaukee-based Kohl’s department store. But she also worked occasionally for Sears and Kmart, headquartered in Chicago. Sears/Kmart uses (almost exclusively) models from the Ford Agency in Chicago for their advertising. Amanda was always a welcome addition to their weekly ad inserts.

Once again we present our favorite model of all time, the sweet and lovely Amanda! These carefully-selected and meticulously-scanned images all appeared in Kohl’s ads almost 8 years ago. As to where Amanda is these days, we are told she is living happily in California with her husband.

Once again we feature the enormously adorable Katie Zeller. Her pictures are all super-cute, but here are some of the best. The MC2 model and UCLA graduate recently moved to New York City to further her modeling career. She describes herself on Twitter as "a California girl living and loving life in the big city, one adventure at a time." Can the Cali girl make it in the Big Apple? We're confident she will!

"They're all cute," Blakely Ashton says in a Delia's commercial. "You can't really go wrong with a pair of Converse [shoes] from Delia's."
Yes, the shoes are cute. But we could say the same thing about Alissa, Bruna, Gigi, Sandra, and especially Blakely.
The lovely Blakely Ashton has worked with Ford Models in New York since 2006. She graduated from her Fresno, California high school in 2009. Soon after, she married her high school sweetheart, changing her name to Blakely Ashton Doulphus. In between life, high school, and marriage, she found time to model for Kohl's, Delia's, and Macy's.
Blakely has an fairly active twitter account where she declares her love for "jesus & fashion," apparently in that order. It's unclear whether she is currently still modeling, but if these photos are any indication, she could have a long bright career in front of the camera.
