Girl abandoned at birth for her looks wants to prove the world wrong – she now models for Vogue

Albinism is a rare inherited life-long condition that occurs worldwide across all races and ethnic backgrounds. It results in decreased production of a pigment called melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes, resulting in light color or no color. Sadly, people with the condition are often seen as different and are stigmatized, especially in underdeveloped countries.

A girl with albinism was born in China some 16 years ago, and when her parents saw her snow white skin, they decided not to take her home. Sadly, the little one ended at an orphanage just days after she was born. This sounded horrible, and the staff at the orphanage, who named her Xueli, which stands for snow white and beautiful, felt sorry for her. However, little did they know that she would be adopted by a loving family from the Netherlands who would provide her with a beautiful life.

When she turned 11, Xueli was discovered by a famous Hong Kong photographer who asked her to be part of her campaign featuring different people, all beautiful in their own way.

“She called the campaign ‘perfect imperfections’ and asked if I wanted to join her fashion show in Hong Kong,” Xueli Abbing said in an interview with the BBC. “That was an amazing experience.”

In some parts of the world, it is believed that the bones of those with albinism have medical powers so it happens for some of these people to be disfigured and their fingers, arms, or legs to be cut off.

Knowing this, Xueli says she’s lucky she was only abandoned.

Once the photos of her were posted on the social media, a photographer from London took Xueli under her wing and helped her get on the cover of Vogue Italia magazine for its June 2019 issue.

“At the time, I didn’t know what an important magazine it was and it took me a while to realize why people got so excited about it,” this beauty recalled.

“There are still models who are like eight foot two and skinny but now people with disabilities or differences are featured more in the media and this is great – but it should be normal,” she said in the interview.

“Maybe because I cannot see everything properly I focus more on people’s voices and what they have to say,” she said in an interview. “So their inner beauty is more important to me.”

Xueli is doing all in her power to help raise awareness about the people with albinism.

“I want to use modeling to talk about albinism and say it’s a genetic disorder, it’s not a curse,” she says. “The way to talk about it is to say ‘a person with albinism’ because being ‘an albino’ sounds as if it defines who you are.

“I’m not going to accept that children are being murdered because of their albinism. I want to change the world,” she added.

We are so glad there are people as this 16-year-old beauty out there who teach us that it is the differences that make this world a beautifully colorful place.

He was in the car with his wife and two kids, but he went out to shovel snow off the front of the car when tragedy took place

Sashalynn Rosa, a 23-year-old mom of Passaic, New Jersey, and her one year old son died in a tragic incident of carbon monoxide poisoning after snow blocked the tailpipe of their car as they searched for a parking place. 

As severe winter and blizzards hit the east coast several years ago, Sashalynn and her family were on their way home when her husband, Felix Bonilla, left the engine of the car running as he went to grab a shovel in order to get rid of the snow at the parking place.

According to officials, Felix opened the car’s door around 11 minutes later, but Rosa was already dead, as well as little Messiah, while the 3-year-old daughter was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.

“It’s hard to lose them like that,” Felix Bonilla Sr, the baby’s grandfather, told ABC news. “The doctors say they don’t think she’s going to make it. Doctor says she has a slight chance to make it.”

If a tailpipe is blocked, just in this case, carbon monoxide, which is a lethal colorless, odorless gas, seeps into the car and replaces oxygen in the body’s vital red blood cells when breathed in.

“They were staying warm while the father was shoveling the vehicle out,” Detective Andy White said. “It’s a tragic incident,” he added.

Neighbour Isabel Carmona spoke to Chanel 7 about the tragic incident, saying, “I know that the boy don’t have life because he’s like this and I try and try, and my nephew tried, and premedical tried, those people worked so hard.

“I tried to help the girl and I put my mouth on the girl’s and paramedics worked so hard to save that kid.”

Unfortunately, tragedies of this type are more common that we even assume.

Baltimore Mayo Clinic came up with possible preventive measures of carbon monoxide poisoning. They believe that sleeping areas should have carbon monoxide detectors and the batteries should be changed twice a year. They also advise people to always leave their garage door open when staring their car and never leave it running.

Keep all engines and equipment that burn gasoline thoroughly ventilated and never operate a generator in the basement or garage or use gas stoves or ovens to heat your house.

We are so very sorry for this family’s tragic loss. May they rest in peace.

Proud dad makes many angry after posting photos of his 14-year-old at work

Chris Crawford is a father of a 14-year-old son. Recently, the boy started working at Burger King and Chris couldn’t be prouder so he decided to post on Facebook, writing, “HUGE shout out to this kid of mine, 14 years old and has a PT job at Burger King, not only does he work every day he can including weekends when most kids are out enjoying their summer he goes in early and stays late almost every time he works, he loves every minute of it. Making his own money, saving for a car, being responsible in his decisions, becoming a respectable young man!!! I couldn’t be more proud of him! Some of y’all lazy, grown ass people out there should take notes!!!”

Little did this father know, however, that his post would anger many of his Facebook friends.

Apparently, not everyone loved the idea of such a young boy being behind the counter as they believed he should be living his childhood to the fullest instead.

There were also those who stood by this father’s side and said he indeed had a lot to be proud of.

Although it depends from state to state, in general, the minimum working age in the United States is around 14 years old, for non-agricultural jobs. The number of hours is also restricted, and it is usually around 15 hours a week. Children under 18 are no allowed to work in fields involving hazardous professions.

This might be one of the reasons why many criticized Chris who wrote that his son has been working seven days a week.

According to him, the boy loves his job and he could be seen smiling while working and wearing his uniform.

Deaf hiker falls 700 feet, but when rescuers finally find her, she isn’t alone

Amelia Milling is a 21-year-old hiker who loves being outdoors. She’s a pro, but recently she found herself in trouble after one of her trekking poles suddenly snapped and she lost her balance. As a result, she fell 300-feet down the side of the snowy mountain, hitting a large boulder on the way down. Shortly after, she fell 400 more feet down. Surprisingly, she only hurt her leg and didn’t sustain any major injuries.

As she was on the ground, Amelia, who is deaf, saw a creature that resembled a wolf and got very scared but she soon realized it was in fact a white husky.

The dog had a collar around the neck and Amelia assumed he belonged to someone. The dog, whose name was Nanook, was in fact a specially trained dog to help lost hikers find their way back home.

Amelia felt she was safe and she and Nanook got back on the trail. However, as they came upon a river they needed to cross, Amelia was pulled down by the strong current. As she was dragged down, Nanook grabbed a hold of her backpack and managed to pull her out of the water to safety.

Amelia then used her SPOT beacon (a GPS device that alerts rescuers of her location).

Thanks to it, rescuers located Amelia and the hero dog shortly after.

She says that Nanook is her real life hero. He never missed her side and saved her from drowning so she treated him with some snacks and is forever grateful she got to meet him.

Meghan breaks down in tears in trailer for new documentary series ‘Meghan & Harry’

The trailer for the much anticipated documentary featuring Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is finally here, and from what it shows, we are likely to witness yet another dispute between the Sussexes and the Firm.

Available on YouTube, the trailer starts with a slideshow of photos of the Duke and Duchess taking a selfie, their wedding day, and separate photos of the two from the time they were young until this very day.

The video gathered over 1.9 million views in just 24 hours and everything indicates that something huge will be revealed in the documentary that will be released on Netflix.

Many believe that the timing for the trailer wasn’t the most suitable one because it overlaps with Kate and William’s visit of the States. The Prince and Princess of Wales are attending the Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston but there are no indications whether the brothers and their spouses would see each other. Many believe that even though sources claimed a family meeting is likely to take place, the trailer might change that.

Youtube/Netflix

Speaking of the documentary, a Netflix spokesperson said, “In an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story.”

At the very beginning, Harry could be heard saying, “No one sees what is happening behind closed doors. I had to do everything I could to protect my family,” while Meghan, who was showed wiping tears at one particular moment, says, “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?” 

Most royal experts condemn the Sussexes for going public about the issues they have with the rest of the royal family, claiming these all-tell interviews during which accusations are brought are something Harry and Meghan should be ashamed of.

“Here it is, the day before Prince William and Catherine’s big royal event in the USA. Bitter Prince Harry and Meghan,” royal expert Richard Eden posted on Twitter.

“I’m appalled by the trailer for Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix reality show – and so are Prince William and Catherine’s inner circle,” he added.

“Right on cue, Harry and Meghan drop the trailer for their victimhood fest on Netflix. Shameless,” GB News presenter Dan Wootton said. “Meghan has already destroyed the Markles. Now Harry is trying to destroy the Windsors. Small mercy that the late Queen doesn’t have to live through this.”

The documentary comes after the news of Harry’s new book titled Spare.

According to reports, the upcoming memoir which has been a talking point for quite some time now, will likely create new tensions as Harry is apparently planning on focusing on the rift between him and William, as well as his strained relationship with his father, the King of England.

The publishing company Penguin Random House that will release the memoir claims Harry’s all-tell book will be an “accurate and wholly truthful” account of his life.

“Prince Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him,” Random House said in the press release, teasing the book as an “honest and captivating personal portrait.”

Youtube/Netflix

The name of the memoir, Spare, might address Harry’s “spare” role as the second son of a King, or that maybe he is being “spared” from the Royal Family now that he has left, Harper Bazaar speculates.

“It’s juicy, that’s for sure,” a NY publishing source shared with Page Six.

“There’s a lot of new stories in there about the past that Harry has not spoken about before, about his childhood … there is some content in there that should make his family nervous,” another publishing insider added.

Further, the magazine reported that Harry has been paid $20 million upfront by Penguin Random House.

Youtube/Netflix

According to royal expert Angela Levin, Harry and Meghan are perfectly aware that their documentary, as well as Harry’s book, would anger the members of the Firm and that might be one of the reasons why they allegedly declined the invitation to spend Christmas in Britain and honor King Charles who is hosting the event for the first time as a monarch.

“It’s been said that they’re not coming but it [is] also I think on what the documentary is like whether or not they would be invited at all,” Levein told The Sun.

“It could be a case where the royals don’t want them there after the documentary.”

What’s most, Levin says that Charles, Camilla, and the rest of the royals “want to make it a very positive day after the Queen’s death and I think the Sussexes presence would most certainly dampen that.”

“I think will be a huge relief for the rest of the family.”

Have you seen the trailer already? What do you think of it? Will it worsen the relationship between Harry and his family even further?

Young boy with blue eyes, white hairs and lightning mark down his face goes viral

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, but there are those people who are gifted with enchanting looks, such as the sweet young boy from this story.

Having a dark skin and vividly blue eyes, the sweet boy looks incredibly adorable. But what makes him even more special is the white patch of hair just above his forehead and a white line which spreads to his face and resembles a light-striking.

When a video of this boy was first shared on TikTok by user Raoul Tsasa, it caused a stir and everyone was eager to learn more about him. However, except for the videos and a couple of photos, not much is known about him. No information regarding his name, age, or place of living has been provided.

Many users of the social-networking site commented on the videos which have been seen millions of times.

One person wrote, “I see a storm cloud upon his head, lightning down the center of his face between two bodies of water, his eyes.” Another said, “He looks so unique. He shouldn’t struggle to be a great actor. He already stands out among the crowd.” Third added, “He is a masterpiece of beauty.” Honestly, we can’t agree more.

User Jamie La Chaky shared his suspicions about what could have been the reason behind this boy’s striking looks. “I believe he has Waardenburg Syndrome,” he wrote.

This syndrome represents a group of genetic conditions characterized by varying degrees of hearing loss and differences in the coloring (pigmentation) of the eyes, hair, and skin.

One thing is certain, no matter what caused them, this young boy’s features are breathtaking, don’t you agree?

The actress was once referred to as ‘America’s Sweetheart’

Being a versatile actress with a number of films under her belt, it doesn’t come as a surprise that Renée Zellweger stood out yet again with her performance in The Thing About Pam.

The film, featuring Zellweger as Pam Hupp, consists of six episodes based on the murder of Betsy Faria in 2011. The one person convicted was Faria’s husband who claimed he was innocent the entire time. Further, the plot revealed a brutal crime set off a chain of events that exposed a devilish scheme deeply involving Pam.

Zellweger offered a brilliant performance which truly shined when real life photos and footage of Pam Hupp appeared over the closing credits.

“That was something that we really wanted to do to show the real life Pam and hearken back to all these moments in our series where we reflected her costume, her mannerisms. You can really see how transformative Renée was in her physicality, in her carriage, in her cadence,” show runner Jenny Klein said.

Zellweger herself spoke of the role and the transformation she has undergone for the sake of the role which received positive critics. “This woman was convicted of murder, but I find myself siding with her and curious as to what brought her here.

“After playing this character, my perspective on these issues has shifted.”

The Oscar winning actress is no stranger to drastic transformations, something we have witnessed before with her iconic role of Bridget Jones in Bridget Jones’s Diary, as well as in Judy.

And now speaking of her recent project, The Thing About Pam, the actress shared with Vanity Fair what it took to prepare for the role regarding the physical appearance.

“It was pretty much head to toe. It was prosthetics, it was a [padded] suit, it was the choice of clothing, it was the briskness in her step-step-step, her gait,” she shared. “All of those things were really important because all those bits and pieces are what construct the person that we project our own conclusions and presumptions onto.”

“From a creative perspective, it seemed like a really interesting story to tell,” Zellweger shared with People. “As an actress, a really interesting character to play, an unusual person, something that I’d never done before. As a storyteller, it just seemed like a great opportunity to explore the why and how around a case like this.”

The series is now available on Peacock and NBC on Demand.

Steve Harvey crashes on his show during this surprising section

Birthdays are those special celebrations which remind us that we completed another ride around the sun.

However, not many people love big parties and pomps. Instead, they tend to celebrate it with their inner circle of family and friends.

However, when you are famous, especially if you are one of the most famous hosts and comedians there are, this isn’t always possible.

Some years ago, when great Steve Harvey had his birthday, he reminded everyone that he didn’t want anything big. Well, it turned out that the staff working with him on his shows didn’t listen.

They came up with an incredible idea and Harvey loved it so much that he simply couldn’t stop tears from running down his face. He didn’t care if people would say that grown men don’t cry because the moment was so emotional he simply couldn’t contain himself from expressing his feelings.

While on the show, he read the following lines out of the telepromter, “Calling in by satellite from Orlando. Let’s see who it is.” Reading the word Orlando, Harvey stopped for a while because it reminded him of the times he resided there at the very start of his career when his life was unstable and nearly crumbling down.

He somehow knew who he was about to see.

As a man showed on the screen, Harvey got emotional.

“Hello, my name is Rich Liss and I’m calling to wish you a happy birthday,” the man said, to what the host replied, “Hey, man. Man, I love you.”

Rich then tells Harvey there is someone else who wants to see him and Harvey immediately guesses it’s Becky, Rich’s wife.

Rich, Becky, and Harvey go way back when young Harvey was struggling and these two people offered him a contract, some money, and helped him get back on his feet. Years later, Harvey still hasn’t forgotten how generous and loving they were towards him.

Seeing the video, people took their time to comment saying Harvey’s tears just show how kind and genuine he is as a person.

“The fact that Steve Harvey is a public figure and is all over the place and they never tried to reach out just shows they did what they did out of the kindness in the heart and they did it with 0 expectations of anything in return. I hope they’ve stayed in contact and still talk, that’s the true definition of family right there,” one person wrote. “Steve Harvey is one man who never forgot where he came from and always gives back,” another added.
