My name is Bella Ventresca. My father is from Thailand, and was adopted during the Vietnam War, and my mother is Native American. I enjoy modeling fulltime, and have been in the industry for about 7 years. I grew up on a working ranch, and one of my favorite pastimes are horseback riding, fishing, almost all sports, and going out with friends.

My favorite designer Label would definitely be Gucci. I think that Gucci gives you all of the most important aspects of fashion with minimal effort. Their looks are so timeless and classic, yet they manage to keep up with cutting edge fashion without compromising their classic tradition.

I love my eyelash curler. I curl my eyelashes religiously EVERY day. Even If you aren't wearing make up, all you have to do is curl your eyelashes, and it perks your face right up! Especially with Asian eyes, it tends to open them up a little more. I also love moisturizer and all my MAC foundation.
