(It’s not just because she’s a redhead.) I’m pretty sure she’s Brooke Waggoner, who’s quite a musician in her own right. Can anyone confirm? Maybe Saturday Night Live should invite her as a musical guest on her own?

Why is this a big deal right now? Well, here are links to some of the popular stories about what happened after this photograph was taken:

Unfortunately for her, “fast-growing cells” is a great description of a fetus.  So, last we heard, she was waiting to see how damaged her very-much-wanted baby would be.  At worst, the drug can trigger a miscarriage (and has even been used for abortions).

A Google search hasn’t turned up anything yet.  Does anybody know if her baby was born healthy?  Any updates on the story or the inevitable lawsuit and/or settlement?

Elyse Porterfield Sings Along!

Wow, this is one of those “time flies” kinds of things.  Anyone remember “Whiteboard Jenny” — the “15 minutes of fame” girl who supposedly quit her job by writing a series of notes to her boss on a hand-held dry-erase board?  That was actress Elyse Porterfield, who’s now Elyse Anderson after having gotten married last March.  Belated congratulations, Elyse!

Davis and Ginger Alexander (and the rest of Team Trademark) been doing lately?

Their online radio show (with live video) has been gone for more than a year (formerly at www.trademarkradio.com)

The Richard Davis twitter feed is updated every few days with a sports link or a real estate link, but not much more than that.

The Trademark Properties twitter feed hasn’t been touched in months.

The merchandise sold through www.trademark-productions.net must not exist anymore because that domain has lapsed into a search site (but it had some fun Trademark Properties t-shirts and hats in 2008…)

The Trademark Properties YouTube site hasn’t been updated since 2007 and the last login was a year ago.

Wow!  That’s about as close to “dropped off the face of the earth” as you’re going to get.  What happened?

But who really is Elyse Porterfield?

ABC News has a nice story about her:

  • 22 years old
  • Colorado native
  • Move to L.A. in June 2010
  • A “featured extra” in the movie Project X (on the set July 16th according to her Twitter account)

It’s pretty common knowledge that she was named an Angelina Jolie lookalike by People Magazine last January.

She also has a Facebook page and a Twitter account

And alas, guys, I’m guessing she has a boyfriend — or at least seems pretty cozy with Matt Anderson (who, as of this writing, has a photo of himself with her as his Facebook profile photo)

Maybe he’s just a cousin or neighbor something… but assuming the Matt Anderson she went on vacation with is the same Matt on Twitter who she calls “my baby” I’m thinking the rest of you guys are going to need to cool your jets…

Does that help?

Davis running around somewhere?

Sorry that I don’t have better Trademark information here; you gotta admit, the buzz kinda died off.

Comment and let me know if Ginger’s pregnancy was real or just a few people looking at the wrong photos at the wrong angle…

Richard C. Davis, who heads Team Trademark, intends to document the lodge’s rehabilitation as part of the real estate company’s reality series, due to air on TLC in April. The show had an 18 month hiatus.
