Letter From The Editor Bello
Summer is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean the sun has to stop shinning! As we take in our last moments of holiday fun, here a BELLO we have put together a fantastic and sexy issue! For this month's issue, we are lucky to have the infamous King Bach as our Cover. Does anyone else feel like it's getting hot in here? He brought such great energy to the shoot and what a blast it was dressing him and fun, sexy looks! For our Spotlights, we have Garcelle Beauvais and Tai Verdes who each bring something unique to the table! Garcelle wowed us with her beauty, poise, and entrepreneurial side! Recently having launched her collab, Garcelle x Roni Blanshay, she is onto big things! On the musical side of things, Tai Verdes has been killing it with his releases and is excited to get back into concerts and more! Of course, the handsome Chance Perez shines as our Young Hollywood as he blends music and acting! And while we are on the topic of HOT, we are excited for you to meet our HYPED of the month: Cameron Hardy, Isabella Crovetti, and Izabella Alvarez! I also had the pleasure of visiting The Westgate Resort and Casino and Las Vegas which was put together by The Zimmerman Agency. Filled with amazing food & drinks, spectacular entertainment, and unique individuals, if you are looking for a getaway, we recommend checking them out! Cheers to summer and now let's get ready for the Holiday season! But maybe enjoy a few cocktails before... After all, summer isn't over just yet! Bisous Bisous Alexandra Bonnet

KING BACH: WHERE HUMOR AND HEART MEET
Andrew Bachelor, better known as “King Bach,” has
become one of the most influential names across
the internet. Born in Canada and raised in the US,
he went from star athlete to prime entertainer as he discovered his true passion for acting, producing,
performing, and directing. At first, he was releasing videos on Youtube and soon became one of the most followed viners out there. Today, he continues
to climb the social media ladder as he inspires millions of people all around the world through his videos and acting skills on the big screen!
Giddy up!
Preparation is no unknown notion for King Bach.
Through his different projects, he has learned of
its importance as well as “the value of flexibility.” From directing videos to performing in them, he has
discovered all that comes with each role. You must pay attention to the details and point out anything
that could “make the scene better.” Something he
carries with him everywhere and implements in his
His most recent project, VACATION FRIENDS, is a comedy-filled film that you can stream on Hulu! His role in this project was cemented from the beginning
as they asked Bach specifically to play it. “Vacation Friends was fun and such a great experience
overall,” he opened up. “The script was hilarious and the people already casted were phenomenal.” Bringing his unique style of comedy to the table,
King Bach can “interpret scenes in different ways,” which adds a little oumf to the project at hand... and we love it!
work.
This dedication and passion stem from long ago.
Ever since he was a little kid, Bach wanted to act as it “makes me feel joyous playing different characters and just in sync with myself,” he shared
candidly. His love for pranks and stand-up comedy also sprouted as they always brought (and still do
bring) a smile to his face. He continued, “hearing other people laugh with me in the moment has given me joy. I’m about to go on a stand-up tour
so I am looking forward to that.”It’s safe to say that
VACATION FRIENDS allowed the actor to work with talented and kind people as well as discover
new talents! And in his case, it would be the talent of equestrianism. “I have limited experience riding horses, so preparing for that was interesting,” he opened up. “Getting on there and actually not

fully immersing himself into the world of creativity and art was a path he could not avoid.
Before he became an iconic figure online, Bach started off being part of a few acting troupes at
Florida State University and then he moved to Hollywood where it became “a surreal, but exciting

change.” Deriving from the world of sports, getting to where he is today took a lot of perseverance
that he continues to implement every day. “My best advice is not to give up. To just focus on creativity and mastering your craft,” Bach shared with an
open heart. “Hard work even when you don’t feel like working has helped me so much.”
unique ventures. Currently, he is working on a wine label, Six26, which is a world not many young
men are part of. This wine label is a way for him to introduce something new to his audience. After
all, good wine not only tastes great, it also brings people together which our young venturer loves to
do. “The wines have been highly rated at festivals
Along with dominating the world of laughter and
entertainment, Bach is also a philanthropist and
entrepreneur. Philanthropy has always been very
important to him as he pushes to bring better education to the table, hoping to give kids access to “the best educational tools to pursue their
dreams whether that’s in science or fine arts.”
Running his own non-profit organization, RuJohn Foundation, Bach holds acting workshops and
gives scholarships to High Schoolers going to college in Jamaica. Moving with the worldly
changes, such as the current pandemic, “we have started a food program to help feed families and other individuals,” he explained.
and other people seem to be enjoying them as well,” he added. Yum , yum! Pour me a glass, please!
King Bach is truly a multi-faceted diamond. He wears many different hats from entertainer to
philanthropist, to entrepreneur, to director, and much more. His presence will light up a room and blow away any negative feeling. Bringing together
all of his passions in his daily life, his next film set to
release at the end of the year is called NATIONAL
CHAMPIONS. “I have a series that I produced and directed called Kontaxt that will be released on Facebook Watch,” he added. Continuing to work
on his music and content, you can also catch him on a stand-up tour in 2022! Many great things are happening for King Bach… So keep an eye out!
On the more entrepreneurial side of things, Bach’s business inclination leans towards new and
And remember to always stay true to yourself and never give up...

Growing up, what role did music play in your
life? Do you recall a particular story in which music saved you?
I’ve been listening to music all my life, but I specifically remember listening to music every day when I hated being at college. Some of my
favorite songs of all time are the ones that I just ran the doors off of when I was sad. Those songs are scarred in my brain.
What kind of relationship did your family have with music? Do you remember a particular genre you would listen to with them?
has your music evolved since then?
Yeah, so, my first songs were definitely trash, I can’t even remember the names of them. But I
do know that sometimes you need to write trash songs to get to the ones that aren’t so trash.

couldn’t snap out of it because I was about to go straight to set to film the really emotional scene.
I managed to stop, but I had to stay in the zone because we filmed right away when we got to set. Acting is just weird like that.
I can have a conversation with my friends in Korean.
How do you balance the life of an actress and the life of a student?
I have been balancing school and acting since I was 6 years old. There really is no secret behind
it, just hard work. I’ve had to give up much of my
free time to make sure I get everything done that I need to in a day. I have a lot of other hobbies and
interests, like singing and guitar. I have to make
Why acting?
sure I do vocal warmups for signing, practice
To be honest, I’ve been doing it for so long it’d be
weird if I stopped. It’s kind of a part of who I am. But even so, I just love doing it. Not many people can say they get to do all these fun things for
a job! I meet so many great people, have these incredible experiences, and have an amazing time doing what I love.
guitar, exercise, and a lot of other things every
day. When you add up all the extra stuff I have to squeeze into my schedule on top of acting
and school, it can be a lot. I won’t lie, there are days where I get overwhelmed by the number of
things on my schedule, but I have a little trick to calm my nerves. JUST TAKE A BREAK! If you're stressed out, you don’t perform your tasks well

Since I was little it’s been a dream of mine to make great music. I play guitar and have been
singing professionally for 7 years, so someday in the future, I want to make that goal happen.

WESTGATE LAS VEGAS RESORT AND CASINO RECENTLY, I HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF BEING A GUEST AT THE WESTGATE LAS VEGAS RESORT & CASINO FOR THREE EVENTFUL NIGHTS AND FOUR DAYS! REPRESENTING BELLO MAGAZINE, I EMBARKED ON MY JOURNEY TO THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS ON AN EARLY THURSDAY MORNING…THE SUN WAS GETTING HOTTER AND THE BUILDINGS WERE GETTING TALLER, MORE EXTRAVAGANT...FINALLY, I WAS HERE!
Making my way down E Elvis Presley Blvd and onto Paradise Road, there was no way I could miss the entrance as its grand sign hovered over the hotel and city. Greeted with a warm welcome at the valet and much needed AC in the lobby, I could not wait to get to my room. The man who checked us in had a great sense of humor and immediately made us feel right at home. To my surprise, in my room there were little goodies set up on the desk including a very cute stuffed animal which I would soon discover is Sir Winston of Westgate, the hotel’s mascot. Having a little downtime before the welcome dinner, I ventured down to the lobby where I discovered a variety of stores that offered souvenirs, crystals, clothes, and more! You could hear the slot machines in the background and people screaming as they counted their wins and losses. An everlasting abundance of sound and movement, you were never alone… Next thing I knew, it was dinner time. After all, there are so many options when it comes to Westgate’s Las Vegas dining. From fine dining to fast food, whatever you are craving, they have!
We met in front of the Benihana which is located in the Casino (oh yes, right there!) and were escorted to the private room where two chefs would give us the infamous cooking show! The appetizers were just a preview of what was to come. Of course, the chef had our hearts as he cracked jokes, turned the food into shapes, and of course, the jumping shrimp! Bellies full and smiles bright, everyone had a chance to get to know each other a little more and off to Karaoke, we went!

This was no ordinary karaoke. Named “Super Karaoke” located in the Super Book, if you were singing, you were also projected onto the big screen for everyone to see, and hear you! * Cue celebration music * What a welcome! Couldn’t wait to see what the next day would hold… As we all gathered around the Elvis Presley statue located in the main lobby, next on the agenda was a visit of the beautiful Sky Villas located on the very top floor. Luckily, we had a great guide who brought the tour to life with his wit and charisma, VP of Public & Communication Relations, Gordon Prouty! Transported to Italy and France, it felt as though I were a queen entering her Château. For anyone looking for a luxury getaway, definitely take a look at these villas which include multiple rooms, dining areas, private pools, unbelievable views, and more! And the splendor continued as we made our way to a backstage experience like no other of The International Theater. Back in the day, the Hotel's theater was where Elvis Presley would perform and we had the opportunity to retrace his steps before getting on stage! Even the elevator remained the same one from back then... Talk about going back to the future! Standing there, looking out to the empty crowd, you could feel the history whispering,... And currently, continuing the line of great talents, Barry Manilow can be seen

performing there throughout 2021! And speaking of performances…. We were in for not one but two amazing ones! After strolling through Old Town and getting some rest before the second big night, what came next was something I had not seen in so long: a magic show! The beautiful and talented Jen Kramer put on a great show filled with magic, laughter, and of course, audience participation! It truly was “The Magic of Jen Kramer”! Following the show, we had a family size table waiting for us at the infamous Italian restaurant, “Fresco Italiano.” As the waiters brought us almost everything on the menu, every bite burst of flavors. Our waiter, Michael Baker, brought the dinner to life as he sang classics in an angelic voice. The whole restaurant was filled with cheer, laughter, and song making it a very unique dining experience. It was clear that at Westgate Vegas, everyone feels like family from the staff to visitors. Bellies full, as we made our way back to the casino there was a live band taking us back! And the fun continued!

Waking up Saturday morning was met with great anticipation as not only did we have a cabana waiting for us by the pool… I also had my massage scheduled for that afternoon! Music blasting, water splashing, and drinks coming, we soaked up the hot summer sun while also enjoying fresh fruit and a quick bite. Serenity Spa is located about 200 feet from the pool which made my travel quick and easy! With a warm welcome, I got ready for my massage which was so refreshing! I walked out of there a whole new person! I couldn’t believe it was already our last day of the trip… And oh boy did we end with a bang! The last restaurant experience was at Edge Steakhouse which exceeded all expectations. Steak, truffle fries, mac and cheese, wine… You name it, they had it and it was delicious! All those years of dinner etiquette definitely came in handy. Thanks, mom! Oh, how could I forget! The desserts there will also blow you away...and my favorite, the cheesecake!

After dinner, it was time to get dancing with the “Soul of Motown.” A high-energy concert-style musical tribute show honoring Motown legends such as The Temptations, The Platters, The Drifters, Smokey Robinson and so much more! Bringing together humor, passion, and amazing performances, you won’t want to miss this! Staying at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, was definitely an experience to remember! If you are looking to vacation in sin city make sure to check out Westgate’s Vegas hotel deals. Their rates are some of the best in Vegas and will leave you wanting more vacation days! Special Thanks to The Zimmerman Agency for putting together such a beautiful weekend and to Westgate for hosting us!
