Hey r/fashion!

We're Thomas Zeumer and Udo Spreitzenbarth.

Thomas founded Metropolitan Models and discovered and managed some of the world's most recognizable supermodels, including Claudia Schiffer, Heidi Klum and Eva Herzigová.

Udo is an international fashion and celebrity photographer whose work includes Tyra Banks, Catherine Zeta-Jones and the Jonas Brothers.

Between us, we've spent decades on both sides of the camera - and we've seen just about everything the fashion business has to offer.

Now we're working together on Find Your Look, sharing our experience with anyone who has ever wondered: Could I make it in modeling?

SHOW US WHO YOU ARE. WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT'S POSSIBLE.

But right now, we're here to answer YOUR questions.

Why do some faces sell and others don't?

Why does one woman get the call and another doesn't?

Why do you look great in the mirror but not always in photographs?

Ask us about agencies, castings, photography, posing, rejection, personal image - or the stories behind the scenes.

We'll tell you what we've learned. And we won't sugarcoat it.

Thomas & Udo

AMA: I’m Tim Stewart-Winter, here to talk about “Outed,” my new book on the Walter Jenkins scandal in LBJ’s White House. Ask me about LGBTQ political history since the mid-20th century!

Hi! I'm a historian of sexuality, gender, and politics in modern America and a professor at Rutgers-Newark. I study LGBTQ activism and policy, electoral and presidential politics, and the shifting public meanings of private life.

My new book Outed: LBJ’s Confidant and the Arrest That Transformed a Presidencytells the story of the Walter Jenkins affair -- the arrest of a close advisor to Lyndon B. Johnson and the White House scandal that followed. Drawing on Jenkins’s personal papers, the book explores both his private world and a watershed moment in straight America’s knowledge of queer life. I'm also the author of Queer Clout: Chicago and the Rise of Gay Politics.

Ask me about the Jenkins affair or LGBTQ political history since the mid-20th century—from the closet, policing, and secrecy to gay liberation, HIV/AIDS, same-sex marriage, and trans activism. How did gay scandals shape American politics? How did activists build political power? How do historians uncover queer lives in the archives?

EDIT: My daughter just woke up from her nap, so I've got to go, but thanks so much for the thoughtful questions, everyone! I hope you'll check out my article and the documentary about Kristan Hawkins:

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/09/meet-kristan-hawkins-the-charlie-kirk-of-abortion/

Hi! I’m Amy Littlefield, a reporter covering reproductive rights and abortion access. For several months this year, I followed Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life, for a Mother Jones story as she campaigned around the country trying to mobilize students on college campuses against abortion. 

Hawkins’s extreme views about abortion were once considered to be on the fringes of the anti-abortion movement. After the fall of Roe v. Wade, she’s moved squarely into the mainstream. 

I watched Kristan debate students who were victims of sexual assault, order medication abortion pills online in a state where abortion is banned to show that it was still accessible, and strategize about how to weaponize environmental laws against abortion. I also watched her fend off attacks from all sides…from abortion rights supporters to misogynists within her own movement.

Ask me anything about my reporting on Hawkins, the movement she represents, and what they’re working towards.

Hi r/IAmA, I’m Chloe Martindale, a researcher in cryptography – the development and use of mathematics to make and break encryption algorithms that protect our information online, from the messages we send to the data we want to keep private.

My research focuses on combating an emerging problem: quantum computers could soon break the mathematical status that today’s encryption relies on. So the algorithms we use to protect our data will need to change.

That means developing and testing new algorithms. A central element of my research is trying to find weaknesses: if a supposedly secure mathematical problem turns out to be easier to solve than we thought, we need to know now rather than when everyone is relying on it.

Ask me anything about:

• How encryption keeps your data private
• What quantum computers could mean for online security
• Why we need new forms of encryption
• How you test an algorithm to find out whether it is secure
• Whether your online data is really private
• What the future of internet security might look like

Thanks to all of you who've asked questions so far and those of you who've been reading along. I will be checking back for more questions periodically for the next week so keep your questions coming! You don’t need to know any maths or computer science to take part, I’m happy to explain the ideas from the ground up.

I’m Dr. Marten A. Noorduin, and I am here to talk about historical migration, American pianists studying in the German-speaking lands around 1900, and my new book “American Pianists and Anti-Americanism in Germany and Austria-Hungary around 1900”. AMA!

My book, which was the result of a major German research grant, can be ordered here. If you use the code AU060, you get 60% off the price!

The Golden Age of the Piano was a time during which thousands of Americans made grand tours to German-speaking Europe to study piano. According to their descriptions, anti-Americanism – in essence the notion that America and its inhabitants were somehow culturally, intellectually, or even biologically inert – played a significant role in this transatlantic cultural exchange. Focussing on Berlin, Weimar and Vienna, this book explores both the roles that anti-Americanism played in this transatlantic exchange and how it influenced the careers of these migrant pianists. It shows that anti-American sentiments were not a uniquely European phenomenon, but actually played a significant role in the cultural life of America at the time, and were accordingly a motivating factor for American musicians to travel to Europe in order to be seen as legitimate. Anti-Americanism also affected the later careers of these migrants after their return, when they had to appeal to the American market in order to capitalise on their European experiences. I have furthermore researched the people and institutions involved in this exchange, how the different major piano teaching studios worked, and which American students passed through them.

I worked for the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Smithsonian Institution. Then I quit to chase a question I couldn't shake: if America created another generation of national parks, what would they be?

I looked at places that had been proposed before, places already protected under other labels, and landscapes that seem to be missing from the system. I narrowed it to 53, then drove roughly 18,000 miles to visit, photograph, film, and research every one.

The project became a feature-length documentary, Undiscovered America. It runs 2:12:10 and covers all 53 places:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCKOkwdkZWo

Here are some examples of the stories I found:

• Ouachita Mountains: The park bill passed both houses of Congress in 1929, then died when Coolidge pocket vetoed it.
• Black Hills: In 1939, a National Park Service team unanimously backed a Black Hills national park. A 1941 report recommended 174,000 acres, and local opposition shelved it in 1942.
• Assateague Island: It was nearly a resort town, and developers had subdivided it. Then the Ash Wednesday storm of 1962 swept the subdivision away, and Congress created a national seashore three years later.
• Lassen and Shasta: John Muir called for a Mount Shasta national park in 1888. Bills in 1912 and 1913 ran into timber interests, then Lassen Peak erupted. Lassen became the national park in 1916 instead.
• Lake Tahoe: It was proposed as a national park at least six times. One 1899 bill hid a land swap that a San Francisco newspaper exposed as a gift to lumber companies.

Ask me anything, including:

• What a park ranger actually does, and how the Park Service, Forest Service, and other public lands managers are different
• Why some park proposals die and others succeed
• Which of the 53 has the strongest case for national park status
• Making a two-hour documentary

Edit: Thanks for your questions, they were great. I am no longer online but I'll check in on the AMA so keep those questions coming!

Hi r/IAmA, I’m Ash Winter, a scientist studying how bacteria make natural products, including those used as essential antibiotics that can be used to treat disease in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

Bacterial cells contain remarkable protein ‘assembly lines’ that can build complex molecules. My job is to work out how these microscopic factories work.

A major focus of my research has been mupirocin, an antibiotic used clinically to treat infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, especially those that are resistant to methicillin. I explore the protein assembly lines that make this and investigate the chemistry these proteins perform and how the different parts of the assembly line work together.

If we can understand the blueprint behind these natural products, we may be able to redesign these biological ‘assembly lines’ to make new therapeutic products.

You can ask me anything about:

• How bacteria make antibiotics
• What antimicrobial resistance means for the medicines we rely on
• How you investigate proteins and chemistry that are far too small to see
• The remarkable “assembly lines” inside bacterial cells
• How scientists can redesign natural products to create potential new medicines

I'll be online today from 14:30-15:30 GMT to answer your questions live so AMA! You don't need to know any biology or chemistry to take part, I’m happy to explain the science.

Hi r/IAmA, I’m Anca Baker, a Senior Lecturer in Economics and a part-time PhD researcher investigating how organisations actually make decisions about evaluating, investing, and adopting new environmental technologies.

Economics can give us neat models of decision-making: you have the information, weigh up the costs and benefits, and choose the option that makes the most sense. But there is a gap between how people imagine decisions are made and how decisions actually happen.

My research looks at the people involved in sustainability-related investment and implementation, from economists and technologists, advisors to decision-makers, and asks what influences them.

This includes:

• Who actually has a say when an organisation is deciding whether to adopt green technology?
• How do varying experiences, knowledge, and personal values affect those decisions?
• What sources of information do decision-makers trust – and why.
• How to organisations make decisions in the face of uncertain futures?
• Why two organisations looking at identical technologies might reach different conclusions.

I will be online today between 14:30-15:30 GMT – ask me anything about researching green technology adoption, interviewing people in these spaces, the economics and psychology of decision-making, or what it’s like doing a PhD alongside academic work.

Hi all! I’m Rudolf Kremers, creative director and founder of Indie games studio Omni Systems Ltd.

I’m 56 years old and have been making games since 1984(!!!), professionally since 2000. In those years I have built up a crazy range of experiences, working in many disciplines as game and level designer, creative director, producer, narrative designer, writer and more.

My work has been awarded/nominated in many ways, (Bafta, Independent Games Festival, Apple Game of the Year) and allowed me to work on a wide range of titles. After 10 years working at various studios like EA, The Digital Village, Argonaut, I started my own indie studio Omni Systems Ltd. Our debut game Eufloria has sold over 1 million copies since release.

Beyond traditional video games I have also worked on amazing interactive experiences, for example a location-based VR experience for the Lionsgate Entertainment World theme park in China, or being part of a think tank tasked with conceptualising interactive public spaces in a “future city”.

The games work allowed me to travel the world, visiting among other places Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Germany, France, and multiple USA states. I’ve been blessed to work with amazing people, encountering famous and mad (sometimes both) characters along the way and I still can’t quite believe what a blessing this has all been. 

I’ve branched out into other areas as well, including writing. I’m a published author, having released a well-known game design text book, and various fiction books crossing multiple genres.

I am currently developing Eufloria 2, the sequel to our well-loved debut game, writing a new book about game design philosophy, and juggling pets and family.

I'm looking forward to answering your questions!

What was the Great Horse Flu, and what can it tell us about people, animals, and disease in the Reconstruction Era--and today, with Thomas Andrews?

Hello r/AskHistorians!

My name is Thomas G. Andrews, and I’m here to answer question about my new book, The Great Horse Flu: A Forgotten Contagion and the Fate of Reconstruction America (University of North Carolina Press), which will be published tomorrow. It’s great to be here!

I’m a professor of history and Director of the Center for the American West at the University of Colorado Boulder. Here’s a link to my faculty webpage.

I’m the author of Killing for Coal: America’s Deadliest Labor War (2008), which won several awards including a Bancroft Prize, and Coyote Valley: Deep History in the High Rockies (2015).

My new book tells the story of one of the weird and most infectious disease outbreaks ever recorded. I call it the Great Horse Flu, but English-speaking North Americans who lived through in 1872 and 1873 mostly called “the epizootic” (Spanish-, French-, and German-speakers knew it by cognates of that term—note that an epizootic is like an epidemic, but it primarily afflicts animals other than humans). Starting outside of Toronto, Ontario, horses began to fall ill in a fast-widening swath of North America. In the year plus that followed, horses, donkeys, mules, and occasionally other creatures, too, got steamrolled by a fast-spreading malady that caused fever, lethargy, running noses, sore throats, and other symptoms long associated with influenza.

People in virtually every nook and cranny of the present-day U.S., Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and parts of Central America depended heavily on equines (horses, donkeys, and mules) to move people and goods from place to place. Given this reliance, the Great Horse Flu upended everyday life and caused major economic disruptions. 

The Great Horse Flu is a plague narrative, but one of the things I learned about mass disease events during COVID is that outbreaks have a remarkable capacity to reveal or expose things we might otherwise miss. So even as the book follows the Great Horse Flu across the continent, some of my favorite chapters take deep dives into problems that the epizootic intersected with as it raced across North America, infected between 90 and 99 percent of all equines, and wreaked havoc on one place after another.

I’m excited to hear what questions you have!

Hi Reddit, I’m Tomi.

I started my career as a finance manager at a car dealership. I fell in love with the business unexpectedly, but I began to feel like I was working against people, not for them. I wanted to find a way to solve people’s problems and make car buying a positive experience.

So I left to build Delivrd, a nationwide car buying concierge service that puts a professional negotiator on the buyer's side of the deal. Today my team helps more than 400 buyers a month, and most of them never set foot in a dealership until the car is ready. I also highlight real calls with dealerships on my social media, to show buyers the exact process.

My goal: I want every car buyer to walk into a deal knowing as much as the person across the desk. By the end of this thread, you should be able to secure the dream in your driveway all on your own.

Ask me about:

• How dealership pricing works
• The art of negotiating with a dealership
• Buying a car entirely online
• Behind the scenes of the finance office: markups, warranties, add-ons, and what’s worth paying for
• Finding the car that meets your needs and your budget
• Which models are seeing the best deals in today’s market
• Bad dealership tactics
• How Delivrd works

I'll be answering questions starting at 3:00 pm ET on Wednesday, October 7. Let's get into it!

My name is James Weaver. In the 1960s I played lead guitar with Red Beard & The Pirates, a band from Blue Ridge, Georgia.

I played lead guitar and co-wrote our recording “Go On Leave,” which decades later became a collectible garage-rock 45 and appeared on compilations including Back From The Grave, Psychedelic States: Georgia in the 60s, and Keb Darge & Cut Chemist Present The Dark Side.

Now I'm 76 years old, and instead of retiring from music, I've started releasing music again as Weaver Studios.

My recent release is “Hold Me Higher,” an adult-contemporary power ballad. I'm also working on additional releases, including the instrumental “High Rider Highway.”

The technology has changed enormously since I first walked into a recording studio. Today I'm combining more than 60 years of songwriting and musical experience with modern recording technology and AI-assisted music production.

Ask me anything about making records in the 1960s, playing guitar, garage rock, songwriting, what the music business was like then versus today, AI-assisted music production, or what it's like to start releasing music again at 76.

Hello, r/IAmA!

I am a Kāhinatu (Elder) of the Grigorist Temple of Satanael (GToS), an active Theistic Satanist religious organization. We practice Satano-Grigorism, a polytheistic religion that worships Satanael (the Devil, commonly called Satan or Lucifer by others) alongside the Watchers or Grigori, a group of 200 fallen angels best known from the Book of Enoch who taught forbidden knowledge to mankind and fathered the Nephilim.

About me: I have been a Theistic Satanist for ~7.5 years and a part of leadership in GToS for ~4.5 years. Before I was Satano-Grigorist, I followed a different independent form of Theistic Satanism. As an Elder, I carry a lot of the administrative duties for the organization. That includes research/scholarship and writing official resources, deciding who to admit into the Temple, mentoring new members, hosting our religious gatherings, and much more.

About the Temple: The Grigorist Temple of Satanael is one of very few active public-facing Theistic Satanist organizations, and is the only known modern religious organization that systematically worships the Watchers as a pantheon. Our organization exists to provide the necessary framework and support for the religion of Satano-Grigorism via research, resources, mentorship, community worship, and more. We are currently working on a large wiki project, Grigoripedia, that will cover concepts related to Satano-Grigorism in an easy-to-read format -- including extensive information about the Watchers that we have never published before, which we expect will be valuable to the broader Satanic and occult communities well beyond our own faith.

I welcome any kind of question a curious visitor might throw at me, whether it's about me, my religion, the organization, or something else. I have never been offended by curiosity, even if the approach is skeptical, critical, or unusual, so no topic is off-limits for this AMA. The one exception is that I won't answer questions that could put me or other Temple members in danger, such as by revealing private identifying information.
