My mom\u2019s side is from the Rif, while my dad\u2019s side is from Casablanca. Even though we\u2019re from the same country, there are some differences in traditions, family life, and culture between the two sides. I think it\u2019s really interesting because I grew up with both influences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What is your biggest irrational fear?<\/strong><br \/>\nHonestly, probably animals. I\u2019m scared of pretty much all of them. I literally have a cat named Sushi, and he still scares the heck out of me sometimes, like crazy. I love him, but I honestly don\u2019t know why I\u2019m still scared of him hahaha. I think it all started when I was about five. I got chased by a dog \u2014 I think it was my uncle\u2019s dog \u2014 and ever since then, I\u2019ve been scared of animals. So yeah, I guess that explains it\u2026 Kind of, hahaha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I\u2019d say the first thing is that I\u2019m a huge superhero movie fan. I\u2019m really into Marvel and DC, whether it\u2019s the comics or the movies. I try to go to the cinema as often as I can because I just love the whole experience \u2014 the atmosphere, the popcorn, everything. I also love getting into a really good TV show.<br \/>\n2. The second thing is that I used to be a huge gamer. I was honestly playing all the time, like 24\/7, but I had to slow down because of school. I still play with my friends from time to time, maybe once a month, but I used to be a serious gamer.<br \/>\n3. And the third one is pretty simple: I love food. I\u2019m always down to try something new, and I can definitely get excited about a good meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .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-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .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-2' class='gallery galleryid-76242 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_anoumaarsingh03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Anou Maarsingh\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-76250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh03.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh03-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh03-731x1024.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-2-76250'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Anou Maarsingh\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_anoumaarsingh05.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Anou Maarsingh\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-76248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh05.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh05-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh05-731x1024.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-2-76248'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Anou Maarsingh\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_anoumaarsingh04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Anou Maarsingh\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-76249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh04.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh04-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_anoumaarsingh04-731x1024.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-2-76249'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Anou Maarsingh\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Anou<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nAnou Christiane Maarsingh \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@<\/a> \u2014 Dutch from Amsterdam, The Netherlands \u2014 born October 17th \u2014 180 cm \/ 5&#8217;11&#8221; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nVolks Management Studio (Amsterdam &#8211; mother agency)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring my lunch break, I was walking through the streets of Amsterdam. The sun was shining, and it was such a lovely day. A man approached me and asked if I was involved in the modeling world. We arranged a meeting, and he became my agent. My fascination with photography meant I was keen to embark on this adventure. It helps that I have a background in theatre and am able to think creatively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. At the moment, I work in a paper shop in the heart of Amsterdam. I\u2019m in love with this place. Every day, I help people with their questions about art, paper, and sometimes even life. Time seems to stand still a little there. People often come in feeling very stressed and leave the shop happy and relaxed. Paper can slow things down and can become something so beautiful and important.<br \/>\n2. I\u2019ve spent half my life in the theatre world. I started out in drama, as I found myself too shy and believed you had to face your fears head-on. Eventually, I went to drama school and specialized in physical theatre. You learn to use your body to tell stories and connect with people.<br \/>\n3. When I was little, I was a \u2018goose mum\u2019. We raised geese that didn\u2019t have a mother. I slept with them, swam with them, and eventually they flew the nest and joined their fellow geese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was October, and I was turning six. The house was warm, and my mum was teaching me how to make apple pie. She has her own recipe, and the whole house smelled of apple pie. Meanwhile, we were dancing to Tina Turner\u2019s music. She can fill the room with so much warmth and love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .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-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .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-3' class='gallery galleryid-76242 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_cathrinestrandberg05.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Cathrine Strandberg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-76251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg05.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg05-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg05-731x1024.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-3-76251'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Cathrine Strandberg\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_cathrinestrandberg04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Cathrine Strandberg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-76252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg04.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg04-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg04-731x1024.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-3-76252'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Cathrine Strandberg\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_cathrinestrandberg03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Cathrine Strandberg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-76253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg03.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg03-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/09\/mdcselects_cathrinestrandberg03-731x1024.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-3-76253'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Cathrine Strandberg\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Cathrine<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nCathrine Strandberg \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/cathrinegreve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@cathrinegreve<\/a> \u2014 Norwegian from Oslo, Norway \u2014 born December 23rd \u2014 179 cm \/ 5&#8217;10.5&#8243; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/3rd-management\">3RD Management (Oslo &#8211; mother agency)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I&#8217;m educated as a sociologist and psycho therapist and work with leadership development in a Nordic company.<br \/>\n2. I bought an old brothel in France together with five other women four years ago, and we are still renovating the house (named Maison Gothique).<br \/>\n3.

I would work to build communities that combat social exclusion, strengthen mental health, and provide young people with safe environments in which to grow. To me, inclusion is about building a society where all young people have the opportunity to reach their full potential, feel a sense of belonging, and experience that they matter to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Did you always envision yourself pursuing a career in modeling, or did it come as a surprise?

The first one is The Stranger by Albert Camus because it\u2019s given me so many examples of truth and of how to always be honest with people and yourself, or it will come back and bite you. For the second one, it is No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre. I never liked romantic stories in books, but after this book, I started to love this genre. It\u2019s still my favorite romance; it\u2019s about your own choices, brotherhood with your friends, and relationships with women. After these books, I had so many philosophical thoughts and emotions about many different things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 If you were to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of your life, what would it be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nRadiohead &#8211; Kinetic, because this is so complicated and hard to explain how it feels every time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Tell us about your hometown.<\/strong><br \/>\nMy hometown is located in southern Russia, and its name is Rostov-on-Don. The best things are my memories of my football team and my childhood. The worst things about this place are the number of criminal cases and the large number of people who don\u2019t like their own lives, and are trying to make it the same for others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anass Who: Anass Badda \u2014 @anassbadda84 \u2014 French from Casablanca, Morocco \u2014 born November 8th \u2014 186.5 cm \/ 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.
