[edit] Yes - I verified that the OP image shows the front page from the printed edition of the London Evening Standard of Monday 18 February 2002

Interesting that this reached chernarus.

While I researched the origin of this image I discovered another possibly amusing London Evening Standard article related to bananas:

 

- quote: London Evening Standard Nov 26 2013:

<< Researchers who questioned more than 15,000 adults aged 16 to 74 found that for a large proportion sex is now an almost lifelong activity ..//..
Teaching a teenager to put a condom on a banana is no bad thing >>

[ http://www.thepaperboy.com archives only go back to 2011 but if you want a good link to daily rubbish this is it ]

 

This is possibly famous editor Max Hasting's last front page before his 2002 retirement and knighthood ?

The London Evening Standard newpaper is owned by Russian businessman and former KGB agent Alexander Lebedev and his son.

I decoded what pilgrim said and came up with this.

Interesting random bit of Euro news thrown into DayZ.

 

It's possibly a clue as to when the Art asset for that paper was put together.

 

"Oh we're gonna have a copy of the Evening Standard in the environment. Let's see what's in the news and would make for a cheeky cover in game."

 

 

GIS for "evening standard ban on a pound of bananas"

 

There was no image found on google of the original cover.

Sorry to disappoint, but she is clearly wearing a shirt. Look at the sleeve rolled up at her elbow.

 

Of course you can always ignore my comment and let your imagination carry you away on the wings of love.

So.. erm... just for research purposes :| where could I find this newspaper...?

thats not what I see in that picture 

[pilgrim* 3513]

OK

 

This photo is (typically) a 'caption lead-in' to an article inside the paper; can anyone read the caption (anyone? ..<Whxbla's 'thxis' girl ?>) - guess I could clear it up if I went into it - but most probably the article it points to is either:

 

" Africa gets Hip" - the London Fashion Week spring collection 2002

or:

" Racial Adviser Blames Crime Rise on Black 'Moral Vacuum' "

 

(lol)

 

It's a standard technique with these newspapers to mix and match headlines and bylines with juxtaposed unrelated photos to give you a first "impression" something's going on that isn't.

What do ya expect from journalism? - truth ?

 

All the printed articles from the edition for Monday 18 February 2002, without photos or cross headers, are at:

https://www.questia.com/library/p5729/the-evening-standard-london-england/i2888704/february-18-2002

 

So you can make your own choice of which text goes with the photo

 

And if you a nerd enough you can chase back the byline name and the quoted names until you find the people or other leads further back, trademarks, etc  and follow THEM and the photo will be there, eventually..

I have an idea this is a lady called Sally Story from Kwa-Zulu Natal, or one of her models, but it's a first guess.. ie she could also be PA to designer Marcus Lupfer (but not in his style, right, he's kinda TopShop ?) or a fashion student from Glasgow, for instance..Note: A 25 year old fashion designer from 2002 will be 40 these days (so probably even more interesting..hmm, kids).

 

Pay me 3 days and I'll get you a good digital, pay me 14 days and I'll locate the original .raw or maybe the negative

(wooooo... pro photographer 2002, a negative might exist, right? );

I'd also go for the fashion designer side because of the lady's stance, and undergrad design students were present at that fashion event, showing their ideas (partying)

 

And doing 'design-studies' around London, year 2002 might later get you into graphics and games more easily than into Madonna's next tour-wardrobe. Maybe someone in BI should own up ? .. so who was studying fashion/art/design/graphics in London in 2002..? Glad to see you got out of that absolutely fabulous non-stop clubbing life and into a decent job (did ya mention it on your CV?)
