Circa 1991

My name is Elle, and if you want the more profesh breakdown of my work as an operatic soprano, model, and social media addict, including my portfolio, collab experience + media, feel free to check out ElleValera.com for the scoop!

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles and was sassy as hell from day one. [⇠exhibit a]

My fondest childhood memories involve eating otter pops and running through the sprinklers during hot LA summer days, along with exploring Disneyland after school in true Southern Californian culture. I am now into more or less of the same things: ice cream, Disneyland, being sassy, wearing two piece bikinis/ hot pants, and indulging my inner child in all things creative.

The things that get me excited: imagining a world where fat women are allowed to just exist and live their best lives/ being cozy/ a world devoid of diet culture/ writing songs/ fashion/ skincare/ baking/ wellness + self care/ pasta, tacos + carbs/ influencer insider baseball/ organizing things out of procrastination/ connecting with my tribe/ my cat/ modeling
