STRICTLY "Real" Girls and Guns Pic Thread NO MODELS

[DonBiase]

I've been pretty much gone for a few years, but I'm glad to see this thread and the gun babe thread are still alive. Repost since photobucket fucked everyone.

Real people, doing real stuff!!

Her name is Vanessa Meadows. She's an actress now.

The chick is seriously wasting her potential. I mean that. She could easily be a movie star or TV star or at the very least a TV commercial actress with her looks and style.

She sure looks good with a gun in her hand though, i'll definitely say that much.

Agree. She has personality that translates through the pictures too. She seems fun. Seriously wasting her time tucked away in a museum in Gettysburg...

So Valorius, et al., were right!! All these many years ago.

Thanks for the update. I guess there is one more website for me to follow regularly...

More of her photos from her museum intern days to come. Stay tuned.

A question to all you Civil War experts: Is the cannon a 3-in ordnance rifle? Or maybe a 10-pounder Parrott? Is there an easy way to tell, given the almost head-on view point?

For those interested, the first go-around of the photos related to the Gettysburg Museum of History started at about post #1396 of this thread. Unfortunately, of the 40+ photos of Vanessa, and a slightly smaller number of photos of another museum staff member Britney originally posted, I think only 2 and 1 respectively are still viewable nowadays. The two old photos of Vanessa are here:

Below are some reconstruction of old posts whose photos are sadly no longer viewable, featuring Vanessa (formerly) of the Gettysburg Museum of History. Original posts were from August of 2012.

You don't really want to see the German sword, do you? But grenades are always fun!

You want her autograph picture

The link no longer work. But you would be bidding on one of these (girl not included!)

There were no captions accompanying this post, not as if any was needed... Judging by the amount/degree of "reaction" to it, both on this forum and on the social media, this was Vanessa's greatest hit. BTW, if you really care, she was holding a P08 Luger.
