~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello All!

Model Integrity is helping Macy's (Maplewood Mall, MN) cast models for a charity fashion show for their "Shop for a Cause" event, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The show will take place Saturday, October 17th at 2pm ~ (the time commitment is approximately 11:30am-3:30pm).

We need 20 models in all ~ children (both boys & girls ages 4 & up), males, females, and plus sized females, of all ages. This is a an unpaid volunteer opportunity, and great experience especially for newer models. (Runway experience is not necessary, but some modeling experience is preferred). There will be no additional rehearsal commitment, as we'll do one casual rehearsal before the show.

If you are interested in being considered as a model for this event, and ARE AVAILABLE Saturday October 17th, 2009 from approximately 11:30am-3:30pm, then please contact us! Please read the details below carefully to make sure that your submission is give full attention.

*Please EMAIL your submission to modelintegrity@juno.com with the heading "fashion show submission."

*Include one headshot and one full length shot that accurately represent your current look - high quality snapshots are ok. A link to an online portfolio (with your model#) is acceptable as well.

*Please include your height, basic measurements & clothing sizes, plus shoe sizes (or that of your child).

*Include whether or not you've had any modeling or runway experience

*Please confirm that you ARE available that day and have reliable transportation.

If we DO need you, you will hear back from us by Wednesday October 14th at the latest. I'm afraid we will not have time to contact every submission, but thank you so much for your interest and time!

And of course, if you are new to the modeling world, be sure and subscribe to this blog's feed as well as check out the main model integrity site (www.ModelIntegrity.com) for upcoming workshops on helping new models find honest information and connect with legit agencies. And for you more experienced models, don't forget to get in touch with us at Feather Blue Studios when you need an updated headshot or new comp card. :)

Next Workshop???

We've just recently completed an open model call / workshop event, and I am honored to have met some fun, energetic, beautiful people (inside & out), aspiring to be part of the talent world. But what's next for us?

Well... fall gets really busy around here, with running Feather Blue Studios and all, :) so while I've been aiming to offer a workshop every three months give-or-take, we may wait until post-Christmas/New Years to do our next one.

On the other hand, it seems I am getting more inquiries than ever: "How do I get into modeling?" - "Should we spend our money with so&so?" - "What do you think of this new agency?" So I know the need for honest, straightforward information, advice, and education is as great as ever!

Individual one-on-one consults are always available here at the studio of course, at a rate of $95; but if you've been looking for info on the next workshop (just $39 in advance or $49 at the door) and were hoping for one this fall sometime, will you please let us know? If we get enough requests and can work out a date that works for more than one individual who wants to commit to a workshop, I'll make a point of getting one on the calendar. We KNOW you need this resource. If you have the drive to go for it, we want to help!

As always be in touch with your stories, comments, and more and for those we've worked with, let us know how Model Integrity has helped you.

Cheers!
Shannon :)

Website Updated!

Hi All! Just a few updates here from Model Integrity...

The MAIN WEBSITE is finally updated. (Thanks to our intern Kendall for getting that done!) Now both the website and the blog will point you to current events and info on modeling opportunities and agencies in MN.

Our last workshop went great! Thanks to the attendees who made it fun, and to Java Train for being such a great host. Over on the Feather Blue Studios end, we're finishing up comp cards for two of our April event attendees - the shoots went great and I think we have two very marketable models for the Twin Cities market.

We are tentatively planning on a model workshop for July. Most likely a weekday evening, to try to mix things up for those of you who have busy weekends, especially in the summer. If you are interested in getting the new date, please keep your eye on the website in the next couple weeks, or shoot us an email at modelintegrity@juno.com and we'll let you know when the date is set.

And of course, individual consultations are always available for the aspiring model who can't make it to a workshop. Rates and details for all of this can be found on the website.

That's it for now... get out and enjoy the summer weather everyone!

Model Workshop & Open Call - THIS WEEK!

Our next event is just a few days away (this coming SATURDAY April 18th)! Held at the Java Train coffee shop in St Paul (check two posts down for the address and details or enlarge the flyer to the left).

There's still time to pre-register for the workshop (starting at 10:30am), and of course you're more than welcome to stop into the FREE informational open call (from 10am-10:15am) to get a feel for what we're all about. If you'd like to register, please email us at modelintegrity@juno.com for a complete app. If you want to start with the open call, please email us with a quick RSVP or head to our new Facebook page to mark yourself as an RSVP (just search for Model Integrity). You can always just come by too :) but the RSVPs give us a big heads up on how many materials to bring (plus everyone who comes will be taking home a FREE model bag!)

If you're interested in modeling for yourself or you child and you want the heads up the Twin Cities modeling scene and the legit Minneapolis modeling agencies, then this is the place to start. Hope to see you there!

PS - If you're coming, bring a recent snapshot or photo of yourself for us to keep on file. Thanks!
