It's an image finder site. You put in what you're looking for and it scouts out pictures that are relevant. In this case, I looked for "patio furniture" because ever since I saw the picture, my thought was that (1) it's probably not an ad for clothes or she would be standing. I figured it might be an ad for patio furniture or it might be from a magazine like Better Homes and Gardens.

I also did a search here on Jaclyn Smith and got a zillion Jaclyn pictures, none of which matched. I know Jaclyn Smith has a line of Furniture and thought she might also have patio furniture -- thus a search for her pics.

I also went to the Wayback machine to look for archived pages from sites such as J.C. Penny, Sears, and Target. Unfortunately, most of the time only the text is saved, not the images. Oh well ... I'm trying.
I have also been searching like you have for patio furniture, etc., but something in the back of my mind makes me think this picture is on one of the bride sites. I've been looking there at the pictures with leaves, trees, etc. in the background. I just have this gut feeling about it.

Oh, I fully believe we will eventually find it. After seeing what has been accomplished by the folks here, there is no doubt in my mind. Thanks for the help.

Could it be Kimmer trying to run the Boot Camp section since it limits calories? We all know how Kimmer loves to cut the calories for others.

I had to throw in this picture I just got of my brother's triplets.

OMIGOSH! They are adorable!

CON ARTISTS:
Since con artists look for ways to manipulate strengths and weaknesses they will either paint a picture of wealth and ease, or increase your darkest fears, or a combination of both.
...

The next step is to make himself or herself appear to be the only person on whom you can rely for the fulfillment of your wishes, desires, and/or personal safety. Keep in mind that in order for the scam to work, the scam artist will gain your complete and unquestioning trust, and they are very, very skillful at doing this.

The final step is the move on your money. The move may be so fast and skillful that your reaction time is delayed. If the scam is long and involved, you will be instilled with a fear of contacting the authorities. To accomplish this, the scam artist will use whatever fear is uppermost in your emotional catalog. In your mind, you will feel that to take any action will either make you look foolish, and/or you will fear retribution from the con artist, and/or you will fear even the authorities themselves. If the scam has gone on long enough, you have been brainwashed, quite literally, into believing the scam artist more than the authorities and those close to you.
And the worst part is, such con artists seem to be born knowing how to manipulate people from the cradle onwards. Sometimes their entire lives are just practice for The Big Scam, the one that will set them up for life. I think Kimkins was Heidi's Big One. She should have absconded long ago - but that would have been the sane and logical thing to do.

Hi all...I've been following this saga for months. prior to that i'd been a reader at jimmys site...and thats how i initially got familiar with kimkins. thought id finally join this site and make it official, lol.
its been like a sad soap opera unfolding on the internet..and im sorry for all of those who were hurt by this. (which, imo, is everyone who is still in denial and belonging).
i was really impressed at the dedication and tenacity you all had with the russian bride sites and how you flushed those out!
this really is crazier than fiction and when i tried to describe it all to someone unfamiliar...she even said it sounds like a lifetime movie!
ok..back to lurking. im getting some great recipes on another thread and im making the revolution rolls today

If he had specified which types of cancer, like breast and reproductive cancers, he'd have been more correct. Lung cancer is still gaining on women, because they started smoking later than men and the numbers were still growing as men dropped off smoking. Cancer feeds on sugar - so does obesity. It might not be cause-and-effect, but they are related.

By the time she was 9, she was completely bald EVERYWHERE--arms, legs, head, eyebrows. She's in the 30's now, and she still has no hair. Alopecia Universalis. (She did sprout tiny bit of fuzz when she was treated with cortisone for a while, but that didn't last.)

So, one can have hair, then something totally sets off the autoimmune process and, blammo. Gone.

Strangers often thought she had cancer, to the point that one time, at a Spanish flamenco restaurant, the waiter CUT HER MEAT for her. My niece didn't have the heart to tell him she was fine, cause he was so solicitous and meant well.

She doesn't wear wigs. Just lets her bald head go forth and to hell with the folks who don't like it. Much braver than I am. I'd have a collection of wigs!

The Princesss
to your niece, Princess! A girl's hair is her pride and joy. I feel for anyone having to go through that.

I pulled up the site, put in brown hair, ages 30-40, 5.0 feet to 5'7" and looked through the first 7 or so pages. They definitely favour head shots - saw only one or two that showed more of the torso in the ones I checked. Also saw some definite bottle blondes included as brown-haired. Haven't time to pursue any more right now.

You will love it here and Linda Sue has some great recipes.

I know what you mean - if this story wasn't so insane - it would make a great movie on Lifetime.... She is such a scammer and fraud with no problem taking people's hard earned money.

Nah. I got my organic, fresh green veggie juice, yogurt, and probiotic supplements.

Thanks for the sympathy.
