Need help identifying two characters used in promos.

I'm a sucker for interesting faces, so there's this one in an OOT promo:

The face looks familiar, really, really familiar but I can't place where or why.
Then there's this character which they've used a few times in different promo's:

I really wish it was a requirement for vendors to list other products used. It definitely makes me less inclined to purchase something without credits and more likely to buy something that includes them. Maybe I'm just weird though.

I'm pretty sure that the top one is Bridget 8 with a different skin texture.
Oh you're right, it is! I knew the face looked really familiar, she's been on my wishlist for a while.
The other one looks like it could be Bluejaunte's Amira - if not her then definitely one of their other characters.
I also wish vendors as there are plenty of characters I found I liked but didn't know where to get them. However that isn't always possible.
Somtimes some vendors use custom products they haven't released yet. Sometimes they use characters they will never release. Sometimes they use products from other stores. It's not always possible to mention used products.
Also, if you are buying a hair item, how does knowing which character he used to show off that hair help you make a decision if you want to buy that hair?
Someetimes you click on the promo icon, thinking you're looking at a model, but it's really just the hair.
That hair looks good on that model - I know the combination works, so I want to be able to use it.
Or it's about cross advertising - selling more stuff. It would benefit Daz to require 'used in these promos' ... but it may not benefit the artist selling if the buyer has $15 to spend and decides to buy something else used in the promo shots instead of the hair.
Then again, when looking at an ad for oil changes, do they mention which model of car was used in the commercial?
I'd like to see more cross referencing to models used in promos, but I understand why I don't. The main reason is the PA's don't always collect that information from their promo artists.
