FEBRUARY 2018 I am so happy to finally be back to Los Angeles after 2 weeks of traveling through Europe. I enjoyed Paris, and Belgrade immensely, but February is always one of the most important months of the year for BELLO; specially with so much going on, on all fronts. First let me start by inviting you all to get tickets to Autism Speaks’ Charity Gala on the 24th, happening right here in Los Angeles. We are aligning some great entertainment, and our exclusive gift bags will be worth over $500, not to mention of course that this is all for a good cause: to raise much needed awareness to autism and contribute as much as possible to this noble charity. February also is right in the middle of Awards season, always very rich on original content, either movies or TV shows, so make sure to check out www.bellomag.com for some of our favorite picks of the year so far. Shanola Hampton is covering issue 163, and is also our main reason for watching SHAMELESS (we at BELLO are all obsessed). She is smart, funny, gorgeous, and VERY talented. We had such a great time styling her for this issue, and Arthur Galvao did a great job capturing the fun soul that lives inside of her. Brace your self for another issue coming out in 2 weeks, and heres a little secret: some of our featured talent will be at our charity gala. So GO to our Instagram, and get your tickets. Ciao Alek
