General Talk

Hello everyone. The founder and first admin of Bellazon, @[solo] (or spark3d), has died at age 34. My brother, John Dodds, founded Bellazon at age 14 after the closure of Chilax. He touched so many lives through this place, and through subsequent websites, startups and projects; a real entrepreneur. He was always very proud of the community and growth here. Rest in peace ~ Edward

In Memoriam: Vampirehorde (1981-2023) It has been a few months since I found out about this upsetting news and I am still processing it all 😢 @VampireHorde was someone I kept in touch with IRL and I considered him a friend. I did sense something was up when he stopped responding to my messages and thought he was upset with me. Come to find out he has passedHe might have came off as an arrogant douchebag on forums, but he really had a heart of gold and a very kind soul💖 I miss Martin dearly. He will forever hold a special place in my heart❤️🫶 Rest in Paradise, Buddy🌈🕊️ Message from his sister (4/29/24):

I searched and couldn't find a topic like this. Hopefully there isn't one already made But just post general celebrity gossip, this celeb is preggo, this one passed away, these two might be engaged, this one is caught up in a lawsuit, etc. You know, Gossip and news Just keep it civil & kind as possible....I know I for one dislike certain celebs, and opinions should be able to be voiced, I guess just try to keep it from flamming/total and complete hating and disrespect towards the celeb. I'll start off!

The Topic Carla Bruni was moved to Other Females of Interest why? Why she isn't the the topic like other supermodels?

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve always been fascinated by how flawless celebrities look on Instagram and magazine covers. Sometimes I wonder if it's just great lighting or if there’s some heavy editing involved. For example, I recently saw a photo of Madeline hope and then a candid of the same event — totally different vibe! What do you all think? Do you prefer the natural look or polished edits? Also, just curious — has anyone here ever tried doing beauty retouching or photo editing for fun or professionally?

I’ve been testing a bunch of trading strategies lately, and I keep wondering—how much can we actually trust backtesting results? In theory, it should give a good idea of how a strategy performs, but in reality, I’ve had cases where a strategy looks bulletproof in testing, only to fail miserably in live trading. One time, I spent weeks optimizing a breakout strategy. It showed consistent profits in backtests, almost no drawdowns, and a solid win rate. But when I started trading it live, the results were completely different. Orders weren’t executed the way I expected, spreads ate into my profits, and the strategy just didn’t hold up. So, what do you guys th…

I always wanted to know how do you upload images from Instagram from their actual size? Reason I ask is most of the pics I wanted to post here on Bellazon come from Instagram. Thanks!

I am working on something to help the 80s 90s and 00s model posters. Can you post people's handles in here so I can ask opinions on how we work/find/post things in models threads. I know some of us scan, some focus on runway, and some focus on catalog. Please ping anyone in here whether they are active of not. Please let me know the things you are currently researching or interested in posting.

In this topic I will post my scanned fashion magazines from 1980s to mid 2000s #1 Vogue Germany February 1990 https://disk.yandex.ru/i/W9t1rDLmghCJCA

Hello everybody, I've a question to submit to the hair model fans : what's your favourite Pantene girl EVER ? After a bit of hesitation, I've chosen Mira Koleva, who featured in a couple of adverts in the 2000s. I love this model. (there are a few captions of her below) And you, what are the Pantene female models that you prefer, and why ? (a few pictures or captions of them may be useful to recognize them better)

Hello, I've a request about the "lost" documents and media. I'm nearly surprised that this topic isn't more noticed in this forum. In fact plenty of documents are posted on the forum, then "disappear" because they are erased or removed from the source sites. I often meet this situation with Youtube and similar platforms, I've emitted some requests on this forum to find these "lost" videos (indeed they may remain, but being very difficult to find among thousands of other media). Do you manage to retrieve these documents (in my case, mainly videos of adverts, clips and reels) ? How do you proceed against these unpleasant and frustrating situations ?…

I have a friend who studied fashion design. She had to hire a model to model a pair of pants that she designed. These pants are low rise, so regular underwear could easily stick out over the top. So she told the model ahead of time to wear a thong. When models are doing a job, such as a photoshoot or a fashion show, do the other people have any idea what underwear they're wearing? For example, if they're posing for a photographer in low rise pants, would he be told that they're wearing a low rise thong underneath? Or if they're wearing a revealing shirt, do they know whether they're wearing a bra?

Same as fashion, but about photos from editorials, photoshoots... From models, actores/ actresses, singers, etc Yes or no? Anne V.

This is from an American Youtuber who used to live in China (but left a few years ago) but still tries to keep up with the latest happenings there: I'd start aggressively saving those pics from those Chinese shopping sites soon if you enjoy them as much as I do. Taiwanese ones are fine for now (as long as they leave Taiwan alone.)

What models with University studies you know? Tanya D. Michelle Alves

Where do people find pictures of entire campaigns or pictures from events/red carpet from models?

I am searching job. I don't like changing job, I prefer stay always in one and not change. I hate travelling all time, I don 't like to go all time to different villages or out of the city. I prefer stay in a building, like airport or offices, or shop, pharma, clinic... I prefer active job, like support assistant, reception or support client, with good people. Be model is nice but I have not the luck like Claudia Schiffer. Sometimes, I dream when I have stable job have own office (Sexology consulting) or lingerie or book shop (if someday I were millionary), with the stable, and be actress in some films, if it was possible. I want to writte some books too, but …

It is about up a style photo and say your own opinion, if the style is yes or not, and up another one. Not care if it os about formal, comfortable, elegant, sporty, new, old, present, past... Do you want to play? Fitst one. Yes or not?
