In Senor Frog's restaurant in Nassau, and mabye in other Senor Frog's
as well, there is a poster of a smiling woman standing beside a
Porsche which she has just run into a guardrail on the water.  Can you
tell me where a copy of this is available for sale?

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 28 Jun 2006 22:17 PDT

Hello bookshelf-ga,

I?ve found a tremendous amount of information about the photo you?re
interested in. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any source
online where you might buy it. I?m not sure who has the rights to it
at this point.

It originated in an advertisement in the late 1990s. I can give you
contact information for the store that used it in an advertising
campaign. I can give you the contact information for the ad agency
that produced the campaign and the photographer who took the picture.
I can give you several websites that have high quality versions of the
photo which they apparently are using with permission. You might
contact them to find out where they obtained the authorized copy.

Will you accept the information I?ve found as a satisfactory answer?
Considering the price of your picture, you can use the resources I?ve
found to continue your research on your own to obtain an authorized
version of the photo or print one from one of the websites strictly
for your personal enjoyment.

Please let me know if you want me to post an official answer minus the
purchasing information.

I look forward to your clarification.

Czh-ga,

That sounds great.  I'll take whatever you've got and we'll call it a
day.  That will be very satisfactory.

Thanks for your hard work!
Regards, Bookshelf-ga

Also, thank you very much for your help, aussietpp-ga!

Hello bookshelf-ga,

Thank you for getting back to me. As I indicated in my clarification
request, the comment by aussietpp-ga was very helpful. I had started
this search but the clue that the picture was circulating in e-mail
distribution with the title ?Why women live longer than men? showed
that it is popular and gave me a tip on how to search for it. The
further comment that it had a name and title on the picture led me to
the exact photo you?re looking for.

Below I?ve included the search results so you can pick the version of
the photo that you prefer. You might also enjoy the other pictures in
the series.

Apparently, ?Dress to Kill? was a very popular ad campaign by Wallis,
a fashion retail company that is part of the Arcadia Group in the UK.
I?ve identified the ad agency that produced the campaign and I?ve
identified Bob Carlos Clarke as the photographer of the picture you?re
looking for. I?ve also located Clarke?s website. Unfortunately he died
recently but there is contact information on his website to tell you
where you can get his works. I would contact these agents to see if
you can buy a copy of the photo you like. I?m not able to tell who has
the rights to it -- Wallis, the ad agency, or the photographer.

The ad campaign had such impact and was so notable that it has been
the subject of many articles and studies. I?m including a few links to
these so you can get a deeper understanding of the appeal of the photo
that you liked so much.

Truly outstanding- extraordinarily complete research!  Thanks and I
hope we work together again.

I think I have what you are looking for.
An email I got titled Question 1 "Why Women Live Longer Then Men"
features a picture of a woman in a black dress, long dark hair,
leaning on the rail, looking over the ocean (to the right of the
picture)  A Porsche has crashed into the guardrail (you can see skid
marks on the road) there is still a man sitting in the car.
On the bottom right corner is printed:
WALLIS
DRESS to KILL

There are 4 pictures in this email. All black & white and featuring
men being distracted by pretty woman.

I checked under the properties and under summary found the title:
Ei dian otsikkoa
I don't know what that means.

Yep, that's the picture I have.
I also found it in Google images:
 
www.schmuck-werkstatt.de

The picture quality on the website that czh-ga provided is MUCH, MUCH
BETTER. I hope it's the right picture bookshelf-ga.

Your welcome Bookshelf-ga. (Nothing really, just looked at my emails)

If you are interested in the other 3 pictures I can give descriptions
for researchers.

Cheers.

I noticed one of the links given has all the pictures in it. You
really did a good job czh-ga, I feel very proud to have been of
assistance.

Cheers

Hello  bookshelf-ga,

This was a fun search. Thanks for the affirmations, five stars and generous tip.
