Everyone dreams at least in their sleep at night. But only a few dreams come true. That’s because a dream does not come true itself. You have to chase it, work for it and believe it. The person who chased her dreams until they came true is Yulia Foxx. No wonder she is an ordinary person who likes you and me. But her dedication and hard work have made her a special one today.
The top model, Yulia Foxx, is a Russian- American cover model of Maxim and Playboy. Today, she is a famous and reputed character in the modeling industry. Also, she has managed to win similar popularity on social media as a social media influencer. You can experience yourself by visiting her Instagram account with over 450,000 Instagram followers based out of Connecticut/ New York City. It is great to have so many people who have worked with several reputed brands in the United States here.

Which magazine or project is still on your bucket list?
Sports illustrated for sure! Such a dream of mine. Also, Vogue and GQ would be so amazing!

Being open and truthful about my work and personal life I feel has definitely gotten me where I am, and keeping your content consistent yet not repetitive.
I bet you get millions of it, but what are the best and worst Instagram DM pickup lines you received so far?
The best DMs are definitely the ones who can actually hold a conversation and aren’t corny or rude. The worst is that it is so silly and not persuasive at all, especially when I get private photos without saying hello like that is supposed to start a conversation but it’s actually a big turn off.
