I have no idea what the surrounds of your dealings with my friend were like, suffice to say I can't imagine why you'd actively work with someone you believed was poorly presented and who smoked in your car when you expressly asked them not to (or are you one of those charming non-smokers who lets people light up in your car and then complains about it when they're gone?). Nor do I quite get why you'd choose to openly bag out your models while still using their photos, or in this case, photo, miraculous as you say it was compared to the undoubtedly unbearable rest.

I'm sure it was a long time ago, but you do sound like you recall it with some measure of distaste.

She was unphotogenic and particularly displeasing naked, you say? This doesn't strike you as remotely insulting? In light of the fact that this is a relatively public forum, and that while she presumably hasn't profited from her work with you (under the assumption that the shoot was uniformly bad, apart from this "compeltely different" photo, in which you so happened to capture a moment of rare well-presentedness, undoubtedly quite a revelation if it was prior to your "extensive experience"), you feel it necessary to caption the photo you decide to present with snide references, it's also outright unprofessional and rude.

Aside from the fact that I'm speaking in defence of my friend here, this whiffs to me of bad form. Having not been told herself precisely what you thought of her lack of modelling potential (or did you?), how do you imagine she'd feel coming across a random photo of herself which is described pointedly as the only one given photographer can bear looking at ("HA!"), because "photos can be deceiving"? Knowing my friend, she'd probably be more offended by your grammar, but this doesn't seem to you at all unnecessarily bitchy? Is this the kind of highbrow etiquette you've gleaned from your "extensive experience", or are you just inclined to being generally nasty?
