I need one or more pictures of Chrissie Shrimpton, sometimes spelled Chrissy. 
She was a British model from the 60's, younger sister of Jean Shrimpton,
the world's first supermodel. Most pix I've come across supposedly of
Chrissie turn out to be pix of Jean, the much more famous sister.

Hi innismere,

Wow, she's a pretty thing, isn't she?  I've found the following photos
of Chrissie Shrimpton online for you:

Linda Keith, Chrissie Shrimpton, & Suki Potier

Chrissie Shrimpton appears near the bottom

...and you can apparently order one of her as well:

The direct link is:

...but It's A 60's Thing appears to be having server issues today. 
The DNS information is current, but I've been unable to check their
page directly due to server time outs.  Perusal of other cached pages
reveals a contact address of sales@itsa60sthing.co.uk .  Ask for
information about the above noted catalogue entry.

Photographer Gered Mankowitz lists Chrissie Shrimpton among his
subjects, you may be able to obtain a photo from him:

Miss Shrimpton also appeared in several movies:

One of them, Moon Zero Two, has a page listed elsewhere.  At the
bottom of the page is a list of publications which may have a photo of
her in the noted articles or reviews (her role was quite small,
however):

I hope what I did find is helpful to you!  If I can be of further
assistance, please don't hesitate to ask!

Well, it's my own fault for not writing a clearer question. I should
have written "of course I have already typed 'Chrissie Shrimpton' into
Google's search engine, I am looking for a non-obvious answer." I was
hoping for some in-depth research, I wasn't looking to pay twenty
bucks for someone to type the same things I can. If that's all Google
Answers turns out to be, it is not long for the world.

Thank you, Missy, for finding the picture at the Anita Pallenberg
group site. That's the only one that was new to me. It's a good
example of what else I should have clarified, though, there's no
verifiable attribution. On most web sites, pix get labeled by someone
passing the photo around and saying "Do you remember who that is
(pointing)?" If the answer begins "I think that's ..." then what we
have is just conjecture, the beginnings of rumor. So what I should
have said I was looking for is an attributed picture, that is, a
picture with an origin reference back to a paper publication that can
be traced. I didn't know I wanted that until I saw the pic at the
Anita Pallenberg site. Oh well.

A deal is a deal, and I will stick by my offer of $20, and chalk it up
to lessons learned. I will feel a lot better about it if you could
keep looking and perhaps come up with a picture of Jean and Chrissie
together, and close up enough to actually compare faces. If such a pic
doesn't exist, it doesn't, and so be it, and thanks for trying.

I should have been more persistent in my own search. I found exactly
what I needed, verifiable, in fact, copyrighted pictures of Chrissie
with one of Jean on the same page. Go to Kodaks' Photographer's
Legends site about David Bailey,
http://www.pdnonline.com/legends/bailey. Click the Interview button on
the left and use the Continue button at the bottom to go to the second
page of the interview.

On that page, picture 3 of 20 is Jean, picture 4 of 20 is Chrissie.
You can click on each picture to get a blowup of that picture in its
own window, for viewing or saving as a high quality JPG.

Quick, in what way was the word blowup in the previous sentence
related to David Bailey and London in the 60's?

No, I will not pay another twenty more bucks for the answer!!

Thanks for looking, everyone.

Hi innismere!

"Blowup" was related to David Bailey in the 60's in London by way of
the movie of the same name, which dealt with a fashion photographer
exploring the 60's Mod Scene.  It's widely believed that the
protagonist was based on Mr. Bailey.

My own curiosity has led me on a hunt for a picture of Jean and
Chrissie together - no results so far, but I will post a clarification
(so you'll get e-mail) as soon as (if) I find one.

Your best bet for a truly verifiable shot of Chrissie, however, would
be to contact Mr. Mankowitz at the site listed above.  As the
photographer, he would be able to vouch for the authenticity of his
work.

I'm truly interested in finding a shot of the sisters together, here's
hoping I'm able to locate one for you!  I will post with my findings
either way next Friday.

Innismere,

I've had no luck locating a picture of Jean and Chrissie together. 
That doesn't mean that none exists, just that if one does, it isn't
accessible through normal search means.

Chrissie Shrimpton had a very highly publicized relationship with Mick
Jagger - you may be able to find more pictures of her in books dealing
with the Rolling Stones and their personal lives.  Searching various
Rolling Stones fansites produced many mentions of Chrissie, but no
pictures.  You might want to check with your local librarian to see if
s/he can help you out with print media (back issues of Life magazine,
and others).

I'm sorry I wasn't able to find more for you.
