Interview with the Model – Luis Beltran

What is the quote that motivate you? 

Without a doubt, that would be where I would feel comfortable, at ease. Where that person would be interested in me, just as I could be interested in that person. Tell me I would like to know about me, where we could connect and talk about any topic, regardless of what it is; whether it be religion, politics, knowing how we think one and the other, I think that would be for me, the ideal, the truth.

Sin duda alguna sería esa donde me sentiría cómodo, a gusto. Dónde esa persona se interesaría en mí, así como yo pudiera interesarme en esa persona. Dime quisiera saber de mí,  dónde pudiéramos conectar y hablar de cualquier tema, independientemente del que sea; ya sea de religión, política, de saber cómo pensamos el uno y el otro, creo que esa sería para mí, la ideal, la verdad. 

What is beauty to you?

For me, beauty is definitely not just superficial, something that you could see with the naked eye. Because the physical is found everywhere, but a person who is kind-hearted inside, who is loving, who is respectful, friendly. That he gets to connect with people, that he has a good vibe: that for me is beautiful, it is beautiful.

Para mí definitivamente la belleza no es simplemente superficial, algo que pudieras ver a simple vista. Porqué lo  físico lo encuentras en todos lados, pero una persona que por dentro sea de buen corazón, que sea amorosa, que sea respetuosa, simpatica. que llegue a conectar con las personas, que tenga buena vibra: eso para mí es hermoso, es bello. 

There’s a lot of talk for inclusion and diversity everywhere what do you think needs to be done? 

I think we should empathize with all people in general, regardless of their race, their sex, their ideology, how they dress, how they think; we could live in a harmonious society. Because we respect that all people are different, we all have different points of view. We have a value, and we have to think that the rest also have it. I think that.

Pienso que deberíamos empatizar con todas las personas en general, independientemente de su raza, su sexo, de su ideología, de cómo vista, de cómo piense; pudiéramos vivir en una sociedad en armonía. Porque respetáramos que todas las personas son diferentes, todos tenemos puntos de vistas diferentes. Entonces, para qué ser iguales(?) tenemos un valor, y tenemos que pensar que el resto también lo tiene. Yo pienso eso. 

What do you find sexy/sensual in your partner?

For me something sexy about my partner: it is his look.

Something sensual: it’s the way he looks at me.

Para mí algo sexy de mi pareja: es su mirada. 

Algo sensual: es la manera en la que me mira. 

Interview with the Model – Martin Ivanov

Are you that guy that buys anything new and innovative?

I am definitely not that guy that buys anything new and innovative. First of all, because I am not into technology, I am very bad at it. So the more old school the better for me.

We all need a win this year. What is yours?

My personal win for this year would be to successfully finish the reconstruction of my apartment which turns out to be much messier than I thought it would be.

What do you find sexy/sensual in your partner?

Hmm. Since I haven’t had a partner a very long time it’s difficult to recall. Just joking! Maybe the ability to make me smile, laugh, sense of humor and big arms would help.

How did the pandemic disturb your life and have you managed to find balance?

The pandemic put us in a very difficult and stressful situation and personally for me it was a period of time that I managed to use it positively. I learned another language (Spanish) and I started my Master’s Degree the previous year so I managed to finish this one successfully as well.

Interview with the Model – Paolo Bellucci 

How did the pandemic disturb your life and have you managed to find balance?

I believe that the pandemic has changed the way people look and live. From the little things such as planning a trip to passing to personal affections. We had the opportunity to understand how precious it can be to say a simple «I love you» in time, things that maybe before we took for granted.

Credo che la pandemia abbia cambiato il modo di guardare e di vivere la vita un po’ di tutti quanti. Dalle piccole cose come ad esempio programmare un viaggio ecc. passando agli affetti personali. Abbiamo avuto modo di capire quanto può essere preziosi dire un semplice “ti voglio bene” in tempo cose che magari prima davamo per scontate.

There’s a lot of talk for inclusion and diversity everywhere what do you think needs to be done?

I am not the one who has to say what needs to be done for diversity. But I believe that diversity is a form of freedom, no one can deprive us of our freedom. So the only way is to let ourselves be free to express who we are. 

Non sono io a dover dire cosa si debba fare per la diversità. Credo però che la diversità sia una forma di libertà, nessuno può privarci della nostra libertà. Quindi l’unico modo è lasciarci liberi di esprimere ciò che siamo. 

What do you find sexy/sensual in your partner?

I find the personality sexy / sensual, the way it expresses itself and then I end up with the aesthetic part.

Trovo sexy/sensuale la personalità, il modo in cui si esprime per poi finire con la parte estetica.

What is beauty to you?

Beauty is a form of expression. Be yourself. 

la bellezza è forma di espressione. Essere se stessi. 

What is the quote that motivate you?

My quote is: Always laugh, laugh, make yourself think crazy but never sad. Laugh even if the world is collapsing on you, keep smiling. There are people who live for your smile and others who will gnaw when they realize they haven’t been able to put it out.

La mia citazione e: Ridi sempre, ridi  fatti credere pazzo ma mai triste. Ridi anche se ti sta crollando il mondo addosso, continua a sorridere. Ci sono persone che vivono per il tuo sorriso e altre che rosicheranno quando capiranno di non essere riuscite a spegnerlo.
