June 2010 update
Hey!
Congratulations to Renées 45. birthday at the 12. May.
Her contract with CLARINS cosmetics ended in January. Unfortunately we will not see her again modeling, because there is nothing new up right now. But Renée is not sad for this, because she has had contracts with different companies now for over 20 years since she stopped modeling in the age of 24 years. She is perfectly happy concentrating on becoming a better writer, taking care of her kids and has so much work writing these days. She has her weekly column and the mailbox at FEMINA magazine and recently also started to write for the leftwing newspaper 
Information. But if something very nice that pays well comes up, she will consider it as always.
Renée has released a new book for teenagers in February called "Domt til frihet" and is earning good critics for it. It is a tough story about being neglected and finding your own way in life, about going from being a child to being a young person who has to act and think for yourself.
For the book release Renée had a bigger press appearance once again and I can show some new recent photos!
Special thanks go to those who contributed: Antonella, Henriette, John, Jose, Mariette (don´t miss to visit her store Dutch Vintage Magazines!), Mark and Susanne.

March 2010 update
Hello!
The guest counter noticed the 100.000 visitor in January! YAY! Thanks to every one who has stopped here.
Again in January I was very lucky to get great new Renée Simonsen stuff for my collection. A really BIG THANKS goes to my friend Carmenchu who has send me some wonderful things from her own collection she had no doubles of. I could not believe this kind and generous offer and I am very happy and grateful for. Thank you also a lot to Susanne who got me this many recent danish stuf, especially this most beautiful lately taken picture of Renée in the red shirt from nye stromninger magazine 
and special thanks also to Nancy for the chance to buy her Renée collection.
It is not such a big update this time, but to me these new things mean a lot. Having them finally in my collection is just amazing. You search for so many years and then suddenly it is there! I can not count any longer how many sellers from U.K. I have asked for this Sunday Times "DASH & WRAP" editorial and also for the last time I had no big hope there would be a success. But the hope dies at last and so I have asked anyway and THIS time I got the suggest to follow a added link and WOW I directly bumped into it! No idea what long it was already there, but no one had the luck to find it. You can imagine how impatient I had been until I found it in the mailbox! For some things you have already given up hope to find them ever, especially when you do not have any secure infos about the source. And for this specific editorial it was so hard, because not even a Yasmin Le Bon fan could help with a proper info - Yasmin is also shown in this layout. But now I got it!!! So a very special thanks goes to Martine for finding me this.
Well, and now the search can go on for other goals.
But first see what is new added with this update:

December 2009 update

As usual I will be thankful if you report not working or wrong links. There are always some mistakes, no matter what careful I try to do it.
Still some time? Please, visit my friend Lisas new website about her favourite models Krissy and Niky Taylor. There will be soon also a supermodel section with the great Reneé Toft Simonsen!


Welcome! This is the December update!

The documentation "HELE HISTORIEN" was aired on 6. October and it is very well done. I did not expect to see so many unseen stuff at one time! KONCERN did really a wonderful job for all Renée fans with this 40 minutes report. To see Eileen Ford again was a very touching moment. Also I realized Renée is wearing a tatoo on her left hand now! And...she seems to be very happy.
Renée has just started a new website called delebarn.dk. It is a calendar for divorced parents to cooperate around their children, a calendar to share, to relieve the child of the responsilbility of carrying information back and forth between mommy and daddy. She is as a psychologist helping by answering questions for families in need and distress.
She is working on a new book which she is hoping to get finished until next Spring. It is a book for youth ages 13 to 17.
Then her novel "Tirsdag formiddag" will be published in February 2010 from a publishers house in Norway.
The third "Karla" movie is also on the way and will have premiere in February 2010 in Denmark.
New added this month is:

September 2009 update

Hello there to everyone who likes Renée Toft Simonsen!

This time I have wonderful news for you! You may have seen the entree #130 in my guestbook?! The big danish tv production company KONCERN asked me for a cooperation in a documentation about Renée that is airing this Fall on channel TV2 (the second biggest channel in Denmark). I felt honored so much and no question agreed to! The staff I had contact with was so nice and I really enjoyed every minute to work with them. They did visit Renée at home in March and I got a signed copy of her novel "Tirsdag formiddag". Because Renée could not find anymore the magazine stuff from her modeling time I could contribute some scans and I am very curious which of it had been chosen and will be shown in the documentary! The report is 40 minutes and called "Hele historien" (= "The entire story"), english title: "The Inside Story". So everyone in Denmark who likes Renée, have an eye for this and your recorders ready! My special thank is going to Pernille and Jonas from KONCERN company.

The Renée Toft Simonsen documentary is aired on Tuesday - October 6, at 20.00 (8 pm).Turn on the danish TV2!

Another news is Renée is manager of a own company called Sista´s now. But it is still a secret of what kind of company. You can read more here (THANKS to Anya for the translation!).

I also have to thank you very much Sanem, because she found me 3 (!) magazine covers of Renée I did not even know they exist! Sanem, you are so great

This update took me lots of time, because I did re-size the smaller images. Now they have all the same hight. But it is possible some had been forgotten. If you find still a smaller one,  would be great if you could tell me.

And here you can find now what is new added with the September update:

June 2009 update
Hello!
Here is the June update finally! I hope life did treat you all well!
The website is for 6 years online now. I feel more and more it is time for a change, but honestly other things are more important in my life than this and what it seems it takes just too much time to re-design the full site. I hope you are not too dissapointed for almost the same look!
Renée turned 44 years old on 12. May - CONGRATULATIONS!
I was in luck and got a few new things for my Renée Simonsen collection and I am sure you also will be surprised for the 2 italian VOGUE PELLE January 1983 editorials! I could not believe when I saw it! I wonder what much is still out there Renée Simonsen did and we even do not know it exists.
On the other side all of my recent purchases I did by chance had been only money thrown out of the window. Sometimes it makes me feel as she did not work that much as other models did in the 80s.
I fear this contact form at the "CONTACT" page does not work. My husband and I am trying to fix it when we have more time. So if you contacted me lately and never heard back I have to apologize, but I did not get your message. You can be assured I do always send a line in return.
My friend Heike has contributed a lot to a new Claudia Schiffer website. It  is in german, but I think a beautiful picture says enough. Please, have a look at
http://claudia4all.de/ also.

This is what is new added to the Renée Simonsen site in June:

March 2009 update
Hello!
It is unbelievable another 3 months have passed! Time  is running. So welcome back!
Renee´s second childs book "KARLA OG KATRINE" had been filmed with success and was shown in the danish cinemas to the start of February. Therefore the danish press was welcome to do some interviews with Renée.
Renées beautiful daughter Ulrikke is following her mums footsteps and is under contract at the danish model agency Casablanca Models now.
The following updates will not be that big longer. I am running out on pictures and do not want to show you the same pictures again and again only with a different title, because they are just re-prints.
It is very, very hard to find something new for my collection. Also I am fed up with some sellers attitudes trying to steal your last shirt by offering stuff for ridiculous high prices. Once they know there is a serious collector outside they ask prices which lack any base. On the other hand people do not want to spend longer that much for model clippings while so many high resolution scans are available on different forums now. I wonder where this will end...
I am very happy one person is trading her Renée originals with me: Thanks so much Morena!
Now see the latest additions of Renée Toft Simonsen pictures, please:

December 2008 update
Hi there!
Through every moment of the holidays and new year, may peace and happiness be yours.
Also this time I do no have news about Renee Simonsen. Honestly I am a bit tired these days hunting for news.
In August this year the french marie claire magazine published an article about the old top models being back and while usually Renée is forgotten in this kind of articles they remembered her - putting her before Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington with a full page! Thanks so much to french marie claire magazine!
I am very happy my dear friend Annarita and Armelle followed my invitation and became member at Bellazon. But I hope there is more to it than that! Or are we Renee fans an endangered species?

September 2008 update

Hi people!
Sorry, the update is a little bit delayed. But I had been still waiting for the danish X-KLUSIV stuff to add. I absolutely wanted to show something more for 2008.
Guess what? In May the site had its 5th anniversary and we all forgot about! Sniff.
I thought this time I can enjoy you with some real news about Renée, but also nothing. Renée is rarely in the danish press. Seems she is really using her break from writing. Sad for us, but I am sure there will be soon coming news - at least when a new book comes out!
So far I would like to invite you to become member at the Renée Simonsen forum at Bellazon. There are not many people actually and I am sorry to see what low the interest in Renée is there (so far there are just 22 pages about her online). Would you like to change? Come on! We can talk there also a bit about Renées jobs, career, posting links of new found stuff on the net etc. Also you can find at Bellazon bigger sized images! I know some of you are mad, because on my site the thumbnails are not clickable. However, I would be happy to see the one or other guest from www.reneesimonsen.de at Bellazon. Also I am curious to see if a forum about Renée Simonsen works. For a lack of time I do not have plans to do one on my own here on this site, but think this is a very good chance to post at Bellazon for free with zero administration work.
Because I am running a bit out of stuff to put online here, this update is again a bit smaller. But hopefully it is a lot new stuff for you to see! I was in luck to get unexpected help from a very nice woman in the U.S. who got me some things on Renée I did not even know they exist or did not believe longer I will ever find them for my collection. Special thanks to Barbara! And many thanks also to Nancy who got me also some wonderful new things for my collection. She made my holidays in August when I got her parcel.

June 2008 update
Hi there!
Yes, another update, also in time. And a bit bigger than I first thought to do it. But you will realize a lot of the pictures are almost the same, just little different in the pose. But I counted for the "new added" not these what look the same or are identic to those I had been already put with an earlier update. It had been a bit more fun to do this update, because I got some new stuff for my collection. I am very happy for the help I got and thanks also to those who mailed me, telling to go on with this website. Your nice words had been good balm for my soul!
Another CLARINS adverstisement is out, but shows only a re-print of a photo we already know from 2 years ago.
Unfortunately no news about Renée Toft Simonsen also with this update. Just the danish tourism brochure "Mit Nordjylland" May issue has printed an interview with her AND they did also mention the address of this website! A big honor! You can read the online issue here.

I have added 105 new images of Renée Toft Simonsen with this update:

BIG THANKS to my dear friend ANNARITA again for checking the dead links!! They are all working now!

March 2008 update
Hello to all Renée Simonsen fans around!
I am very happy, because the german magazine myself has in their March issue a small interview with Renée Simonsen. No idea if the several suggests about making an article about her did help?!
The new CLARINS adverstisement is out and appeared in some italian magazines (Anna, Flair, Vanity Fair). I am surprised this time it did not take them so long to release a new one. Unfortunately I do not have it yet in original, but my friend Annarita was so kind to send a scan I can use to upload here.
I am very sorry, but do not have any news about Renée Simonsen. It really seems she is only talking to the press when she is promoting a new book.
I was lucky to buy a nice Renée Simonsen collection lately (THANK YOU, TINA!) and got some wonderful new pieces which I do still enjoy. The rest of the collection is already sold and I hope the new owner will become very happy with!
Probably the June update will become a bit smaller. I do not know how much time I will have in the future for this site. I am having a hard time at my job and my motiviation is actually very down to go on with this site. But who knows what it will look in a few months?!
For now I hope you will like the 111 new images of Renée Simonsen I have added. Stay healthy and have a good time!

Thanks a lot to everybody who has contributed and to the people being constantly in touch with me.

And I am very happy to show you some absolute gorgeous images of danish photographer Leif Nygaard who had been so kind to give me permission to show the thumbnails here. The photos of Renée were taken in Autumn 1982 by him. You can also find them on his website. BIG THANKS to Leif Nygaard. You do not find oftenly people being so kind and helpful to fans. Special thanks also to my friends Tina and Susanne who are always such a big help with getting latest magazines featuring Renee Simonsen and for the long-time friendship now.

This update shows 175 new images of Renée Toft Simonsen.
Thanks to everyone who have contributed!

December 2006 update
Hi there again!
You can find 2 more translations of articles my friend Tina did. Thanks so much, Tina!! One is about her picture book "Lillebror" and the other about the Clarins award, both released in 2006.
Have yo all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a good start into 2007!

Hello,
wishing all of you a lovely pre-christmas-time and still enough time and good ideas to find gifts for your beloved around!
Big honor for Renée as she was awarded at the 2. November
for her social engagement to discriminated children at Plan Denmark by CLARINS with "The Most Dynamic Women" award. I am very, very happy I got an information from a very dear Renée fan and was able to find a magazine what has published an article about this and I was able to put a photo of this big day for Renée on the website.
Also it is nice to see Renées pictures are still used these days to advertise products. The picture used for the REPÈCHAGE advertisement looks very familar to me, but I still could not find out where the original of it came from. Well, her face is timeless...By all those years now watching the model business I thought once there will be another model looking like Renée, but there is none and also will never be. Her look is unique!
Thanks to everyone who has contributed. I am very glad for the support and feedback I am getting from you all! Hopefully you will enjoy your visit today!

August/September/October 2006 update
Hi again!
As there had been so many new stuff with Renée in October, I have decided to do this small update before the December one. I did not like the idea to put these 2006 biography pics only to the last month of the year on the website.
You can find now the new CLARINS advertisement online which is out since last month. I could not wait until I will get this from one of my friends and bought a copy of spanish ELLE magazine during our vacations at Mallorca at the start of October. 3 EUR for the magazine had been really cheap as when I purchase it here somewhere in Germany I have to pay 9,50 EUR instead. Hopefully the new advertisement will appear now soon in every recommended magazine! You can see it is a picture of Renée from last year, because her hair is still very short. I have no idea why it takes CLARINS always so long to release a new advertisement. Still making us believe the model in the picture is 50 years old. But we know better!
And continuing the "tradition", the danish Söndags magazine has given Renée a cover-story again. See what she looks these days. I hope she has managed to stop smoking and she will not be too obsessive with the spanish sun!
Special thanks to my friend Tina for the great birthday gift by sending the new danish Renée stuff to me while I was on vacations!!!

At the start of September I still have added the very first published picture of Renée at the munthe plus simonsen fashion show which appeared in the danish B.T. magazine at the 13. August 2006.  SPECIAL THANKS to Susanne for sending this extra. It is really a shame more than half of the year is passed and only now there is a actual  picture of Renée available! Private life.
While doing the scanning I used the chance to add some more of her 1984 U.S. VOGUE layouts. You can find now 16 pictures more!

Hello! Finally I managed to do a course in how to do a website and little results you can detect already with this update. But it had been too short time between the course and the update to re-create everything new. Also I did not want to delay the update too much. This time I was not able to do it to the start of the month, but...hey, we are still in August!
The new STAFF catalog is out and you can see the hair of Renée is growing again. The website of STAFF shows her today beauty much more impressive than the small thumbnails on my website. I really only can recommend a visit at STAFF website.
Also this time no big news about Renée except she is currently in Denmark, has published some more childs books and she graced the cover of danish FEMINA magazine. Unfortunately only a re-print of a STAFF image we already knew, but...a cover is a cover and no fan would like to miss it. Right??
I was very much in luck in the past to get another offer to buy a Renée collection and had some incredible new additions to my collection. Also I have found on ebay some things I was behind for many, many years and had almost lost the hope to find these ever in my life.
And as promised - ta-da!: the editorial section is online now. What a work!! I did not expect this would be so much to do. But better finding this out now and not knowing before. Otherwise I might have never done it?! But now it is started and can be filled with the next updates. Some pages might look a bit empty as there is only one picture shown, but later there will be more pics added.  Promised.
Doing all this I realized what much Renée must have worked in the start of her career! Really impressive! I am very happy to show finally also this work of Renée Simonsen! I know some of you had been upset a bit, because this part was missing. If you have special wishes which layouts you would like to see with the next update, please feel free to e-mail me (please, use the form at CONTACT).

May 2006 Update
Hello again!
A BIG SORRY to all Renée fans, because I was not able to find any news about Renée Simonsen in the past 3 months. Seems she has found now her real private life in Spain. What I can tell is her last book "Anthony Greenwood" is nominated for the danish book-price "Orla".
So I can show only today more of her campaign work and just one older private image from my dear friend Armelle.
With the next update I will begin to show her editorial work and I really can not wait to add this - in parts - finally! Looks this website is becoming the biggest archive about Renée Simonsen on the world wide web.
Thanks again to every one who has contributed and still is doing!
If you like you can leave at the 12. May a message on the guestbook to Renées 41. birthday. Perhaps she will read it one day?!

February 2006 Update

Dear visitor! Happy New Year to every one!
It is the February update and it turned out this is always the hardest one to do, because it is the time with the most less informations about Renées life. She is still in Spain and is writing a new book, a novel. But thanks to my dear friend Karin I am now able to show a photo of her with the new haircut! It really looks good!! She can wear it. Do you not think so?
In November Renee had been in Paris for another Clarins shooting. I am curious when the new advertising from this shooting will be released. For first have a look for the new Clarins advertising showing her with sunglasses. My friend Armelle has found it and send a copy to me timely to show it for this update. Thanks a lot for your support, Armelle!
Renée is much looking better on this new released Clarins advertisement than at the previous one. But smoking so much and a lot of sun asks his tribut. My friend Claudia told me Paulina Porizkova once said in an interview how much she regrets she has not been more ruled in younger years. - "I am 40 and I look like 40. My friend is also 40, but she looks like 30 and this pisses me on!"
Also it turned out Renée did work again (last year) for danish BRDR ALEX PETERSEN fur company. They had some sale advertisements in danish newspapers I also got from my big help Karin.
And in the almost last minute my so dear friend Susanne send me the info the new
staff catalog with Renée is out and it is just amazing! I wonder what this staff-team is doing to make her with every released catalog looking much better than in the last one!
Here is also again some more of her In Wear catalog work. I did not expect, but some of you liked it a lot. Hopefully I can finish soon the campaigns-section and start to show her beauty-/fashion-editorial work! But for first, please enjoy your visit today.

HELP! Patricia Van Ryckeghems husband is still looking for pictures with her. If you have any infos regarding pictures of Patricia from her model carreer (CHANEL model -> make-up) and/or you know websites with pictures of her are available, please, let me know . Thanks!


November 2005 Update

Hello again! Renée has moved in September to Spain and I hope the danish press will not forget about her and we will still get some infos about her life from time to time! She made a nice gift before she left Denmark: 2 magazine covers . The PSYKOLOGI cover looks as she had a Botox treatment, but I think this is only result of the job of the photo editor. When I saw the Psykologi pictures of Renée for the first time I thought "Please, cut your hair!" Maybe Renée thought the same way, because she did. Unfortunately I can not show a pic here.
It is frustrating to read all the reviews in the magazines this year about the beauty of the women in their 40s and no one is remembering Renée. CLARINS itself had an article in their latest customer magazine and if you think they have mentioned her, you are on the wrong way. Renée is 40 and she is advertising a anti-aging-product for 50-year-old women. Why lift this beauty-secret? Anyway, have a look for the new CLARINS advertisement (for my opinion also not the best photo of her was chosen for the new campaign). The CLARINS customer magazine and french ELLE magazine already showed the new picture .
I am very happy for all the wonderful new stuff I got for my collection and can show in parts with this update. Thanks to everybody so much who has contributed in the one or other way or is supposed to. A special thank you goes to Lisa from France who got me the so many years badly wanted french Votre BEAUTE Sep. 1983 magazine with Renée on the cover. I did not believe longer I will get this once. Also thanks to those who have signed the guestbook. I am looking forward to see more of this.
And now celebrate the beauty, talent and way of life of our always on top woman - also if she does not care for.
Still help needed: The husband of model Patricia Van Ryckeghem is looking for pictures of her. If you can send any infos about pictures of Patricia from her model carreer (CHANEL model -> make-up) and/or you know websites with pictures of her are available, please, e-mail me . Thank you.

For the 12. May we do say: "HAPPY 40. BIRTHDAY, RENÉE!!!"
If you´re interested to send a personal message to Renée for her birthday I can forward this. Just sit back immediately and start to write. You can send me an e-mail or a sealed personal letter/card for her. But I need to have it latest at the 9. May 2005 here to forward all collected timely to Renée. Yes, I know this is very short-termed. But you also can leave a message at the guestbook (only serious messages, please).


February 2005 Update

Thanks ever so much to every one who has contributed to this project in the last 3 months! Special thanks to my so dear friend Linda for making the contact to Phillip who sold me his great Renée collection. Phillip, I love the new stuff! It had been an absolute pleasure to deal with you!!! Thanks for everything.
Enjoy the update and please, let me know about problems with this site (dead links, mistakes in the dates, etc.). I did this in a big hurry - you know we´re busy with organizing our wedding in May. Not much words this time. Hope to see you all healthy back again for the next update in May 2005 with more news about Renée Simonsen!

November 2004 Update

It was a nice late-summer day in September when I was in my lunch-break on the way to the city. What a nice surprise when I passed the warehouse KARSTADT and saw a HUGE poster in the shop window showing Renée. The next day I went there with my digital-camera and was in luck that I found immediately the boss of the warehouse to ask him if I could do a step into the shop window to take some photos. He looked a bit surprised, but allowed me and I got some photos of this great poster. But for the huge size it was impossible to catch all of the poster.
Now that I knew about Renées new job I had a closer look in the KARSTADT warehouse and in the ladies store I´ve found this poster from the shop window and another one in smaller size. I wrote to KARSTADT company and after some weeks I got a very friendly reply from Miss Dudek which was very engaged to help me to get pictures with Renée. She made contact to the warehouse and I got with help of Mr. Schutt another poster which was used some weeks ago for decorations in the ladies store. I´m very happy I can present with this update these 3 rare pictures of Renée which had been taken early this year in Spain for KARSTADT germany. Thanks again to Miss Dudek and Mr. Schutt from KARSTADT for the help in this! So, have a look next time in your KARSTADT warehouse as you might be surprised what wonderful things you can find there...
Another wonderful thing happened to me when my boyfriend asked me during a short trip to Heidelberg at my birthday if I want to marry him. No question my answer was YES! Thanks to all for the nice wishes to the engagement. The wedding will be next year!
With help of a very dear friend in the U.S. I also was able to get the Marshall Ward catalog cover on ebay beside I was the day the auction ended still on the trip in Heidelberg. You can find this pretty cover also with this update.
A real shocker was the auction on ebay for a huge Renée cover and clippings collection which sold for $1.009!!! Can you believe??? Have a look here!
You may have noticed that the ULTRA cover was removed from the auction. But the seller was so kind to send me an excellent scan of it and if you´re interested please e-mail me for more infos. To see what the cover looks like, please check out my missing cover-section.
There had been no big feedback for the last update when I changed the images into thumbnails. Just 2 people said it is a bit small to view the pics now, especially if you have a laptop. But so far no more complaint about I decided to leave it for first at this point. Those I have asked for can see I didn´t try the white color for the opening page. A small poll went due between white and my beloved pink. So I didn´t try anything real new this time. Sorry to all who had been wating for!
There are lots of great ideas for this site, but unfortunately too less time to realize any of them. Or is there someone out there who´s selling time??
Enjoy the update as much as you can and for any problems (not working links, etc.), please contact me . The next regular update will be in February 2005!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the success of this website and especially to those who did help with infos, pics, scans, etc. to this update! You´re the best! And don´t forget: Everything you do do comes back to you!!!

August 2004 Update

Thank you to all the friends of mine and the nice people I´m in touch with, to those who have contributed in the past 3 months to this website and to those who helped with my Renée collection by selling, sending stuff or helping with infos/dates, exchanging links with this site. Also the friendly people I got short in touch with for this site - the guestbook - or my deals on ebay. Thanks also to the photographers Leif Nygaard and Stan Malinowski. And last, but not least to Lars from FLEYE optics in denmark (Renées latest model-job) for the support and the permission to show on this website the Fleye scans he has send me.
And a very special thanks goes to this anonymous person from france who has send me to the end of May a letter with Renée covers. I wished I know who you are to thank you directly for this lovely gesture. I hope you´ll read this!
As you can see I´ve changed the pics now all in thumbnails with help of Katja who gave me the instructions how to do this. To all who offered their help with things like this, please don´t feel dissapointed. But as Katja is also from germany it was the most easiest and fast way to get and work with these infos. Those thumbnails will allow to load up the sides much faster and you don´t have to scroll that much longer.
As my scanner broke in April I needed a new one and you can see a little difference now in the new scanned pics at this update. The pics of the Lothars catalog are made with a digital-camera as the size of the catalog is too big to scan it and I don´t have time to spend hours by putting any scans together.
The cover-section is now also sorted chronological. You can see Renées appearence on the magazine covers time after time and what her look has changed. I think it´s very interesting to see how oftenly she graced in the same month different magazine titles.
I hope you´ll like the new look with the thumbnails and the 116 new images which I´ve added and you´ll visit this site for the next update in November again!

It´s a lot to read for this update at 2004 part, but I didn´t want to withhold this. It´s showing a lot of Renées personality and I guess also what a wonderful person she is.
Don´t miss to have a look at Thomas Helmigs website (you can find the link at the "links" section here on this site) and go to "Diskografie". Here is his new album "El Camino" and there you can listen a bit to his song "OK Renée" and read the songtext. My danish friend said it has gotten fantastic reviews, everybody loves it.
The site is almost 1 year online now and having a look at the counter tells there are more than about 1.000 visitors each month. I think it´s not bad for this simple website. Thank you to everyone who has visited it and contacted me for help, infos, congratulations, signing my guestbook, etc.
BIG thanks to my friends for love, respect and just being real friends and thanks to everyone for any kind of help and support in the past 3 months! It means a lot to me.
Don´t forget to think about Renée Simonsen at the 12th May as it´s her 39th birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY from here and the best wishes for her future. We´ll follow it.


February 2004 update:
As usual for first I want to thank some people for their big support, help and friendship: Alejandro, Alexandra, Anja, Annalisa, Annarita, Armelle, Bernd, Carlos, Carmenchu, Claudia, Fabry, Francesca, Gerardo, Giuliana, Greg, Heather, Heike, Jerry, Karin, Linda, Martin, Martina, Melanie, Morena, Nancy, Ralf, Rosita, Sandra, Simone, Stan Malinowski, Tina and the team from german ELLE magazine. - If I forgot someone, I´m sorry. Please, let me know and I´ll add your name. A very special thanks to my man Jochen who had the time and nerves to help me so much with this update.
Also if it doesn´t look that much, it took us a long time to have this new design now. It´s result of many ideas and trials we had, big changes and finally what we liked best it looked. If there are some similarities to other sites you know they´re not intended! However, I hope you like the new layout! We do! You can let me know about, if you like it more than the old design, etc. Objective critics and new ideas or suggestions are always welcome. I´m really curious about what you think.
As you can also see the names of the photographers (for those I do know) are added now. After some e-mail-exchange with an editor from german ELLE magazine it seemed to be absolute necessary.
A very special offer to you now is the chance to get some real photos of Renée Simonsen taken by the husband of my danish friend Karin. Get more infos
here.
I hope you´ll enjoy your visit!

This is a small update between the usual updates. Because of Renées book-release for "KARLAS KABALE" there are so many new pictures published in the danish press these days and I really didn´t want to let you wait until the February 2004 update for them. I hope you´ll enjoy this:


November 2003 update:
THANKS this time to all my friends and the people I´m in touch with for the big support, help with translations and/or infos: Alejandro, Alessandro, Alexandra, Alexandre, Alina, Andrea, Anja, Annalisa, Annarita, Armelle, Bernd, Carlos, Carmenchu, Cyrielle, Claudia, Corinne, Elaine, Elke, Elsa, Fabry, Francesca, Giuliana, Greg, Heather, Heike, Ian Miles, Jacqueline, Jill, Jo, Karin, Keiko, Kimberlee, Leif Nygaard, Linda, Martina, Melanie, Melissa, Miranda, Morena, Nancy, Natalie, Nicola, Pedro, Peter, Rado, Ralf, Rita, Roberto, Rosita, Sandra, Sandrine, Silvana, Simone, Stan Malinowski, Sue, Susanne, Tina and Victor. - I hope I didn´t forget someone here!
A special birthday gift to me was the appearance of Renée on a magazine cover (danish ALT) in October. With Natalies words: "That's where she belongs!!!"
For the 2nd update there are little changes in the design. I hope you´ll recognize them! As we had big computer problems I couldn´t work that much on this update. Also my scanner didn´t like me some days. I´ve lost lots of my scans by a big computer crash (anyone who had no computer problems these months?) and I was very, very sad for this. But...life goes on! Beside all this I´ve managed finally to do the november update in-time and here´s what´s new at one sight:

First Update August 2003

For first I want to thank you all for the nice comments and the many congratulations to the start of my website in May 2003 I´ve received via e-mail or in my guestbook. I was really touched by your words and also for the offers for help.
I made new friends and contacts and especially I´m happy for one contact I got back after a break.
It had been in all a real good quarter for myself and for my Renée collection - also with your help. THANKS!
This is now my first update and there are just new pictures added, no changes in the design/layout. I still had no time to learn something about this - I also have a life beside this. And to be honest...I do still like what it looks.
You can see now all the covers Renée Simonsen did what I have in original from A - Z. What you don´t see here, I do still miss.
I´ll try to do an update every 3 months from now on and hope I´ll manage! But what you always will find updated is my reward- and the link-section.
And now, please have a look for some hopefully new pictures of the most beautiful woman in the world...

PLUS some little changes in the text at the covers main-page and at the campaigns/catalog section (2003 added). With help of Anja and Armelle I was able to add finally the year 2003 to the biography 3rd part and also a new page for "2003" - Thanks, you two. I know I was VERY late and I was so happy to see I can always count on you.
