I feel so fortunate to do what I do for a living. In this industry there is a lot of drama at times. A lot of he said she said and one never really knows who to trust, if anyone. I have a good deal of friends in the biz. Fellow webmasters, affiliates that help promote us and also a handful of models I have met through the past years. I feel very privileged to call some of these people friends. It’s amazing to me when I have a model come to Bryci and compliment her on her photos, telling her they are beautiful. I’ve had some models come to me and ask me to shoot them or they’d tweet they want me to shoot them. That blows me out of the water. I’m honored to say the least.

What really makes me smile, is when a model does her homework, and comes to me about working with me. She loves what Bella stands for, what we’ve created and wants to be part of the team. That’s a huge compliment to what we’ve accomplished here. We started with one site, and built from there. Yes, I had to release some along the way because they weren’t holding up their end of the deal, but such as life. Same as any job, you’ll find people you’re not compatible with. No shit talking needed, nothing to say other then, things work out for the best. I have no hard feelings towards anyone out there, webmaster, model, people in general. Life is too short. We’ve declined working with many models because we were on different paths at the time. I am not one of those webmasters that just keeps taking on new sites, new girls etc. I’d rather work hard on the handful of sites we have instead of creating a network of 30-40 sites that never get updates. A happy model is an active model. True story. The only way someone gets added to Bella, simply put, she has to be Bella material. Hardworking, dedicated, honest.

So at the end of summer this year, I was approached by a rather well known model about her joining the Bella team. She wasn’t looking to sell her site, she just wanted to be part of what we’re doing. She was with another webmaster at the time, and she was getting out of that partnership, and wanted to come over and join forces with us. This whole conversation came at the weirdest of times for us though, because we were in the middle of moving! derp! We had so much going on, and we’d been planning a rather large scale site at the time as well.

Side comment – yes, yet another new Bella site that will take shape shortly. I could have launched it twenty times now but the idea of launching a new site with 20-30 sets is sort of senseless in my opinion. If you’re going to tell people you have a large model site, make it large site. The large scale Bella site we’re doing won’t go public for another month at least, and it’s fucking MONSTER sized and yes, feel free to quote me on this. We’ve been stock piling for this mofo.

Where was I?…. oh yeah.. new girl…

A new model is joining Bella Familia.

She’s well known, she’s beautiful, she’s someone that has her shit together. She’s not a flake, she works her ass off, the list goes on. We’re thrilled to be working with her. We didn’t buy her site, we don’t own her site. We’re just joining forces.

Who is she? Well, see… there’s the thing… I can’t say just yet.

I know, I know, big lead up and then nothing. I’m like that girl that makes out with you all night, gets you all hot and bothered and then leaves because you don’t have a rubber. I mean, really. (kidding, calm down)

I was up to 5am last night creating a temp site that will be there for the entire purpose of getting things switched over. I am going to be emailing her active members today or tomorrow explaining that she’s joining Bella and as an active member of her site, here’s a free pass to the entire Bella network to make you smile while we’re getting things moved over. With every bit of construction, there’s always bumps so this free pass will hopefully smooth over most of those. Of course, I’ll be checking those that email me with the active list to make sure that yes, you’re a member and you’re emailing me from the right email address etc. Common sense.

Some of you have speculated, some of you have asked me directly. I have heard a few names throw around. It’s weird, but cool at the same time.

I can now confirm that Tiffany Teen is making a come back and she’s going to be with Bella.

bahahahaha no, sorry guys. You wish. Hell, I wish! haha j/k

No, you’ll know soon enough. I’m just very, very honored that this model did her homework as to who is worth working with and who isn’t, and she chose us to partner with.

Bella Familia now is plus one.

Thank you for your trust, unknown model, whoever you are.

News on official relaunch will come within 2-3 weeks at most. If you are a member of a solo model website and you get an email from me later tonight, tomorrow… you’ll know who I was referring to.
