Modelskip

Do you know the proofreader's worry of "eyeskip"?  It happens when you read a sentence that's missing word, but your eye fills it in automatically.

I experienced a similar phenomenon yesterday while spying the new L. L. Bean Signature catalogue out of the corner of my eye.  From my vantage point, the model on the cover resembled Carolyn Murphy, of early Prada, mid Lauder, and late Tiffany fame.

So when I actually paged through the catalogue, I was still under the illusion that the blonde model was Murphy, until I snapped out of it!

This instance of "modelskip" reminded me of the years when I was convinced that Carmen Kass was the daughter of Carmen dell Orefice.  File these model genealogies under the late, great Spy magazine's Separated at Birth feature.
