Before clicking on the link I thought it would be the Parked Domain Girl. (I hadn't seen the one linked in this item before, however.)

  Do you mean the blond college girl with a backpack? I wonder what being the face of spammy parked domains has meant for her.

  I see Parked Domain Girl for the first time:)

  Apparently this is the back story on Parked Domain Girl: "The photographer is Dunstin Steller, and he snapped this photo of his little sister, Hannah, and tossed it onto his iStockPhoto portfolio. For a few cents, Demand Media scooped up the photo and was then licensed to use it throughout their web properties. Thus, every time a website goes dark, Demand Media scoops up the domain registration and parks it, with ads and links around this photo." http://mind--blown.blogspot.com/2012/05/fascinating-story-of-parked-domain-girl.html http://mind--blown.blogspot.com/2012/05/fascinating-story-of...

That's so funny, I instantly recognized her.

  I think she's on the homepage of Noom (http://www.noom.com/index.php http://www.noom.com/index.php). Different angle then WellnessFX but same outfit and hair.

    Wow, it definitely can be her:)

I'm assuming the model doesn't make any residuals from something like this. Kind of too bad, though I guess having your face everywhere is at least good for getting more work.

Her name is Ariane: http://asianstockphotogirl.tumblr.com/ http://asianstockphotogirl.tumblr.com/ http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2013/10/the-most-famous-model-in-the-w.html http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2013/10/the-mos... https://www.facebook.com/notes/ariane-the-overexposed-stock-image-model/the-original-ariane-expose-article/530140707048004 https://www.facebook.com/notes/ariane-the-overexposed-stock-... She and her partner/photographer have made an entire business of travelling and taking photographs for stock sale. Not a bad way to write off your trips. Ariane's ambiguous ethnicity (She's French Canadian and Chinese) has made her look easy to adapt to many ad campaigns.

Is this girl a Getty/iStockPhoto girl, or Shutterstock? Somewhere else? Both?

"That girl again!", my girlfriend keep saying that to me for more than a year. We live in Brazil and she works with marketing on startups. She personally used her photos in her jobs until she could recognize her everywhere. At least once a month she point her to me on a new ad.
- podviaznikov 12y ago
  I have totally the same experience. I actually see her few times per month now.
  - m_aleksandrova 12y ago
    The moment I noticed her, I couldn't help myself to stop seeing here everywhere. The thing that upsets me a lot, is that even modern startups/companies still use her face. WHY?

Her husband will probably feel like he is always looking at a commercial :P

She's also on the front page of Team Viewer. She's on the trucks that deliver our break room snacks at work. And I've seen her on bulletin board ads at school when my wife and I lived on campus several years back. I see her everywhere!
