When you take a look at Elena Rose, you get major Marilyn Monroe doppleganger deja vu—but mixed with some serious Latina edginess and boss bitch vibes. You might not ever believe that, like so many of us, Elena Rose worried about not being “hot enough” when she was younger. “I felt like I didn’t look
A Galore girl can never forget her first boyband. Maybe you, like me, got introduced to The Backstreet Boys by your older cousins visiting from Europe and immediately developed an intense crush on Nick Carter before deciding to go for Aaron because the age difference was smaller. Perhaps you were a self-proclaimed Directioner, constantly arguing
Like many women who were born in the 90s, Kelsey Merritt once dreamed of strutting the Victoria’s Secret runway. Unlike many of the women born in the 90s, Kelsey Merritt’s dream actually became a reality. While the bi-coastal bombshell grew up in The Philippines totally unaware of the fashion industry, she fell into modeling with
