Interview with Grace373

Why did you decide to create Elite Models and Elite Topmodels?

I made Elite.Models long before Elite.Topmodels and there for two different reasons for opening the two different clubs. I made Elite.Models because I really wanted to make a club where I would help beautiful and talented people to make a statement here at Stardoll. I also really love to organize happenings and manage them, that is why I love owning such a big club on here. Elite.Topmodels is made because I wanted to reward the ones that succeeded becoming a real Top model. I think everyone can be one, he or she just has to work very hard and besides looking good a Top Model has to have a good character as well, that is very important for us.

Where were you born?

Since my family is very internationally oriented - they have a kind of job where traveling is necessary - I was born in a city where I spent just a small period of my life. We moved after just one year and - believe it or not - I spent a big part of my life living in a little but picturesque village. We moved from there as well so now I live a big city in Belgium. Between the places mentioned above I have lived in Switzerland, Greece and a few other European countries. In a few weeks, I am moving again, now to another continent.

What made you hire the Elite Team?

When I made Elite.Models, I had no idea it was going to be the club it is today. Later on, I opened Elite.Topmodels and I just did not have the time to manage both clubs so a good friend of mine and I made EliteModelScout, an account for accepting and denying members. She is helping me a lot, because I really want to concentrate on making topics, competitions and new ideas for the club. Besides her, I have had a few managers but unfortunately not all of them have been very dedicated to the club and their job. As for now, my friend Mango99999 has helped me a lot as a wonderful manager.

What is your favorite thing about your club?

I love the fact that all the members are very close with each other, that they help each other, give each other tips and become friends. I am happy I made a fascinating community were there is no place for jealousy and hate!

What is your favorite thing about stardoll?

I really like the whole idea of stardoll, the dressing up, designing a home, meeting new people, etc. It is like you enter a whole new world.

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be?

I have heard this question before, and I could never think of answering it properly. I do not think that someone can be described in one word since every person has so many characteristics so that one word could not describe them.

If you could describe your style in 3 words, what would they be?

Believe it or not, I do not think that I have a particular style, at least not a word that could describe my way of dressing. I mix and match a lot, being inspired by Grace Kelly, Twiggy and Sienna Miller. These three are not really compatible by style, as I said, one day I can dress very classy in black and the other as I just woke up and threw on the first thing I came by. I suppose my style will come with the years although I really like being this flexible in wearing clothes as I am now. Maybe one word that could describe it is retro. I am very retro inspired in dressing and music, too.

Would you consider being the owner of one of the most popular and modeling agencies, be more fun, or hardworking?

First of all, thank you for the compliment. Although I really love owning Elite.Models and Elite.Topmodels, it is not easy to combine it with my real life priorities, on that side it is very difficult but on the other hand, when I see that people really like what I am doing, it gives me so much satisfaction. I do not think I would keep doing it if people would not appreciate it.

How does the process of getting accepted work?

Ah, this is a question I get about a million times a day, mostly by people who get denied. First of all, I want to make something clear. I am not accepting or denying people. I trusted EliteModelScout with that, so she is in charge of that list. Daily, there are dozens of people applying to the club so it is very hard to keep the list clear and reply immediately to all the requests.
EliteModelScout goes personally to visit every medoll that has requested to join Elite.Models. She sees if the person has a satisfactory medoll, suite, style, and overall impression and what is very important - and I do not why is hard to understand for some people - if the person owns or manages a modeling agency. That is a very important rule, a member of our club cannot be the owner or manager of another modeling agency. That rule must be obeyed. By the results of that scanning, she accepts or denies people.

Do you have a list of all of your models?

Yes, stardoll makes that list, it's the members list.
