I had really had my pacifier for a long time. I was 5 when I gave up my pacifier for the first time. I kept using it until the moment my father and mother said, &#8220;If you stop using your pacifier, you will get a dog from us.&#8221; And sure enough, I stopped using it, and that same week I got my dog (Justie, a White Shepherd). I was so incredibly happy. To this day, I still remember how it happened. I enjoyed my dog so much \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Share a bit about your background and upbringing.<\/strong><br \/>\nI was raised in a very protective environment by my parents. They also taught me that I am allowed to have my own opinions, as long as I express them in a polite and respectful way. I was raised with strong values, including showing respect to others. Of course, this also means I can have my own point of view. I am a very kind and friendly person, and I get along well with others. I am also helpful, and I am a true animal lover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-75608 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Serghei Podlesnii\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-75630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii03.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii03-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii03-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-75630'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Serghei Podlesnii\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Serghei Podlesnii\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-75628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii01.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii01-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii01-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-75628'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Serghei Podlesnii\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Serghei Podlesnii\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-75629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii02.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii02-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/04\/mdcselects_sergheipodlesnii02-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-75629'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Serghei Podlesnii\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Serghei<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nSerghei Podlesnii \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/kak_duz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@kak_duz<\/a> \u2014 Moldovan from Edinet, Moldova \u2014 born June 18th \u2014 189 cm \/ 6&#8217;2.5&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nBlues Models (Chisinau &#8211; mother agency), <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/INDEPENDENT-MODEL-MANAGEMENT\">Independent Model Management (Milan)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/two-management-bcn\">Two Management (Barcelona)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What\u2019s a story your family\/friends like to tell about you?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I was 15, I was in Venice with my sister. After a long walk, we decided to grab something to eat and sat on the steps near a building. While I was eating, I got distracted for a moment to say something to my sister, and a seagull took advantage of that and snatched the sandwich right out of my hands. It happened so fast that I only realized what had happened a few seconds later. My sister laughed at me for the rest of the day. She still loves to bring it up and tell the story to her friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What is your biggest irrational fear?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy biggest irrational fear is not making something of myself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Tell us about your hometown.<\/strong><br \/>\nI was born and live in the city of Edine\u021b, which is in northern Moldova. I find this city very comfortable because it\u2019s small and has everything you need for daily life. We have a nice park where you can relax, and it\u2019s the largest park in the north of the country. There are no clubs here, so you can\u2019t really go out for a \u201clively\u201d night, but I see this as a positive. 1 The only downside is probably that the city is very small and everyone knows each other. The population is about 20,000 people. Overall, I enjoy living here; everything is literally within a 15-minute walk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abigail Who: Abigail Eyselee \u2014 @abigail.eyselee \u2014 German from Hannover, Germany \u2014 born July 12th \u2014 175 cm \/ 5&#8217;9&#8243; \u2014 she\/her.
