Whenever I read it, I feel very comfortable and peaceful. It reminds me of childhood and makes me appreciate the little things in life &#8211; summer days, family, memories, and simple moments that we often don\u2019t notice when we grow up. I love how Bradbury makes ordinary moments feel almost magical. Another book I really love is Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris. I really enjoy her writing style, and the story captivated me more than almost any other book I\u2019ve read. I also love the way the story shows that things we try to keep hidden eventually come to light, something I completely agree with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nSome of my happiest childhood memories are connected to the village where my grandparents lived. They passed away many years ago, so those memories are especially precious to me now. Every summer, our whole family went there, and the atmosphere was simply magical. There was soft, beautiful grass in the yard, a river near the house, and fields stretching all around us. We had several huge walnut trees, raspberries, mulberries, and the most delicious apricots I have ever tasted. In the evenings, my grandmother would go to our neighbor and buy fresh homemade milk from her cow. We were also getting honey from another neighbor. Then we were all sitting together in the kitchen, watching the sunset, and drinking warm milk with fresh bread and honey. It sounds very simple, but I think that is exactly why I remember it so vividly. Everything felt peaceful, warm, and safe. Those evenings made me feel incredibly happy, and whenever I think about my childhood, this is one of the first memories that comes to my mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:<\/strong><br \/>\nI absolutely love people! I am a super talkative and friendly person, so when I meet new people, they always think I am 100% extrovert, and I am always around someone. But the most valuable and reliable thing I have is my time alone with myself. The safest place for me is my own world full of different thoughts and dreams. I am always up to spend time with my friends, but 90% of my free time I prefer to spend alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .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-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .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-4' class='gallery galleryid-76134 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\/09\/mdcselects_qingma03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Qing Ma\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-76146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma03.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma03-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma03-731x1024.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-4-76146'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Qing Ma\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\/09\/mdcselects_qingma01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Qing Ma\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-76148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma01.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma01-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma01-731x1024.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-4-76148'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Qing Ma\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\/09\/mdcselects_qingma02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Qing Ma\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-76147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma02.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma02-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_qingma02-731x1024.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-4-76147'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Qing Ma\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Qing<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nQing Ma \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/maqing_marleen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@maqing_marleen<\/a> \u2014 Chinese from Beijing, China \u2014 born March 4th \u2014 179 cm \/ 5&#8217;10.5&#8243; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n1CE Models\uff08Beijing &#8211; mother agency\uff09<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 If money wasn&#8217;t an obstacle, what would you be doing with your life?<\/strong><br \/>\nI want to keep trying and learning new things, meet new people, and experience more of the world.

I was a basketball player during college and have always been passionate about sports. My old dream was to compete in the Olympics. However, it was extremely challenging for me to make it to the Olympics in women\u2019s basketball. After graduation, I took part in a modeling competition and started my modeling career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What do you hope to see change or improve within the fashion industry in the future?<\/strong><br \/>\nI hope the fashion industry can become more diverse and inclusive, and break free from narrow\u2011minded single\u2011standard beauty ideals. More opportunities should be given to models of all ages, looks, skin tones, heights, and body shapes. After all, clothing is meant to serve people, and our world is made up of all kinds of individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdel Who: Abdel Khalil \u2014 @abdelkhalill \u2014 Egyptian from Cairo, Egypt \u2014 born July 26th \u2014 188 cm \/ 6&#8217;2&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.
