Mia Khalifa

Acting Appreciation

Mia Khalifa, born Sarah Joe Chamoun on February 10, 1993, in Beirut, Lebanon, is a Lebanese-American media personality and former adult film actress. Khalifa moved to the United States with her family in 2001, escaping the conflict in South Lebanon. 

Raised in a Catholic household, she described her upbringing as conservative. Khalifa attended high school in Montgomery County, Maryland, and later graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a degree in history. Standing 5'2" with a slim build, brown eyes, and long black hair, she worked as a bartender and model before entering the adult film industry.

Khalifa's adult film career began in October 2014, and she quickly rose to fame, becoming the most searched performer on Pornhub within two months. Her career was not without controversy, particularly in the Middle East, where her decision to appear in a hijab during a sex scene sparked widespread outrage. 

Despite her brief career in the industry, lasting only three months, Khalifa's fame continues to resonate, and she remains one of the most recognized figures in adult entertainment history. Her popularity was fueled by both the scandal surrounding her performances and the ensuing media attention.

After leaving the adult industry, Khalifa distanced herself from her past work, transitioning into a career as a social media personality and sports commentator. She has hosted shows on YouTube and Twitch, and co-hosted the sports show Out of Bounds in 2017. 

Khalifa has been vocal about the negative impact her brief career in porn had on her personal life, including estrangement from her parents and receiving death threats from extremist groups. 

Khalifa's story highlights her evolution from a brief stint in adult entertainment to a career in mainstream media and social commentary.

Alberto Vargas

Art Appreciation

Peruvian-American painter Alberto Vargas was born on February 9, 1896, in Arequipa, Peru. He was the son of a noted photographer, which exposed him early to image-making and studio practice. 

Vargas studied art in Europe, including formal training in Zürich and Geneva, where he absorbed classical draftsmanship and academic realism. By the late 1910s, he relocated to the United States, settling in New York and later Hollywood, where he found early work designing sets and portraits. 

His first major professional breakthrough came through work in theatrical and film illustration, including commissions connected to Broadway productions and early Hollywood studios. Vargas’s career reached national prominence in the 1940s when his pin-up illustrations—soon dubbed “Varga Girls”—appeared in Esquire magazine. 

His technique blended precise pencil drawing with airbrush and watercolor, producing idealized female figures with smooth gradients, luminous skin tones, and carefully controlled highlights. Vargas favored elongated proportions, minimal backgrounds, and suggestive yet playful poses, creating images that balanced glamour with restraint. 

During World War II, his illustrations became cultural icons, widely circulated among American servicemen and emblematic of wartime morale.

After a legal dispute over naming rights, Vargas continued his work independently and later found renewed success in Playboy during the 1960s and 1970s. Among his most recognized works are Petty Girl-inspired Vargas Pin-Ups, Vargas Girl with Blue Drapery, and numerous Esquire centerfold illustrations from 1940–1946.

Abi Titmuss

Acting Appreciation

Abi Titmuss—born Abigail Evelyn Titmuss on February 8, 1976, in Ruskington, Lincolnshire—began her adult life far from celebrity. 

Raised by teacher parents, she trained as a nurse, graduating from City University London and working at University College Hospital and the Royal Brompton Hospital. Her early years were grounded and academic, with interests in music (she played the clarinet) before an unexpected pivot into public life placed her under intense media scrutiny.

Titmuss rose to national attention in the early 2000s and soon redefined herself as one of Britain’s most recognizable glamour models. Standing 5’5” with blonde hair and green eyes, she became a fixture in leading men’s magazines, including FHM, Zoo, Nuts, Loaded, and Maxim, earning cover features and ranking prominently in FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World.” 

Her confidence in front of the camera translated naturally to television, where she appeared on Celebrity Love Island, Hell’s Kitchen, and The Friday Night Project, among other programs.

Seeking longevity beyond glamour modeling, Titmuss pursued acting and surprised critics with a well-received West End debut in Two Way Mirror in 2006, earning a Fringe Report Award for Best West End Debut. 

She also authored Ten Fantasies and appeared in documentaries and panel-based television, steadily broadening her public identity.

Seltin

Model Appreciation

Seltin, also known online as Seltin Sweet or Seltin Sweety—was born on February 6, 2000, in Russia and has quickly built a visible digital presence since launching her career in 2021. Standing about 5’6” (167 cm), with brown hair and brown eyes, she presents a slim, natural look that contrasts with the highly produced aesthetic common to the genre. 

Her early growth came through cam platforms and Instagram, where her fashion-forward posts and polished visuals helped her amass a sizable following by 2025. Beyond social media, Seltin expanded into subscription-based adult platforms, where she manages her brand with notable independence. 

Her content strategy favors consistency and direct fan engagement, supported by her own website and cross-platform promotion.
