Have fun 
Tell us all about it when you get back.
Hope you all had an amazing Holiday!! 
Hey guys.
Does anyone else have this problem? 
When I try to move a topic, the subforums of the destinations don't load properly.
So like in this case, I was trying to move a topic to the Model ID subforum, only it never loaded as a option underneath General Discussion.
It loaded for me, are you still having the issue?
Thinking about reaching out to some models and doing an interview for the blog! 
Any body have any models in mind that we know of that are fond of Bellazon?

Daniela Lopez Osorio, maybe? 
^ Oh that's a good one!
I am sure whatever model we get it will be great

That would be incredible but no names, sry
Bregje Heinen, Candice Swanepoel ... i know they visit their threads. Probably hard to reach out to them tho. Obviously I'd love Elsa lol but she strikes me as someone who isn't super into the internet lol.
Btw I've been getting an insane amount or report emails these past few days, what's going on? Did the new year make people go crazy? 
Bregje did cross my mind but I am not sure would she be willing to do it considering the past drama on here. I could ask her if anyone would like me to
Barbara palvin visits her thread as well. I know Gemma used to as well
Might be interesting if you could do a series of model interviews with bigger established models and up and coming models. Obviously dependent on if anyone is interested. I could reach out or as pretty to reach out to some of the girls she knows as well if you’d like?

Yeah if either of you wanted to reach out and utilize your connections that would be awesome!
I think some smaller models are more willing to do it, also know of some photographers that interact with Bellazon a lot on social media that have shot some pretty well known models and have a decent social following that might be good choices as well.
I have already reached out to Dioni Tabbers, Dani Lopez, and another model by the name of Valeria Rudekno (decent social following with follows by some pretty established models, often likes Bellazon social posts). None have read their DM's yet.
UPDATE!
Photographer Steve Read is willing to do an interview with us!! 
He consistently shoots pretty Instagram famous models as well as Sarah Stephens and Hailee Lautenbach. He interacts with our social media often, and answered me right away!
Check out his social media:
Awesome!! Nice little start and I think it would be really neat to get different perspectives from people in the industry.
That's awesome! I agree it's nice to have different perspectives. Hopefully some of the models will get back to us! I think something nice would be asking forum members which questions they'd like to see models answer, mostly so we don't go over the usual questions like how did you get scouted, where are you from and the same typical questions every other blog/magazine is constantly asking don't really tell anything we didn't know before.

Yeah would be cool if we scored an interview with a very popular model and have Bellazon members get apart of that.
Steve is a super nice guy and is down for anything, and has a lot of model contacts so he would be great to get some insider info We could later even score editors, beauty bloggers, etc.
Guys have any topic ideas I can roll with for Steve? I am a professional copy writer for a Marketing Agency besides also writing blogs for Bellazon, so I have a pretty good idea what helps get good blog traffic.
EDIT: He's not really down to talk about Instagram tips and photography, he would really like to get candid on diversity in the modeling industry.
Any question ideas I can create for him that come to mind from you guys?
Some questions I have so far. Any other ideas! I told him I would give him freedom to talk about whatever he would like as well, and that I could frame it as a question or point.
How long has he been in the industry and has he had any difficulties or faced any issues as a photographer with the constantly changing dynamics of fashion from the heroin chic era to the waif thin beauty standards to today’s more inclusive body standards as well as the obvious pivotal changes we are noticing when it comes to diversity.
Also so does he have any insights on the different perceived expectations on men and women in the industry and the standards they are held to.
Also can he give any opinion on the very obvious wage gap between males and females on the highest levels of the industry and is it as skewed for newer or less globally known models or does it start to balance out.
Hardest location/s be ever had to shoot at and why?
I can think of more if you’d like and I’ll come back with anything else that comes to mind.
