Lori & Julia show!

Thanks so much to Lori & Julia (107.1 FM) for having me on the show today! What fun!

For those of you who may have heard me on the show and are looking for more info on getting yourself or your child into modeling, let me welcome you to Model Integrity! Our slogan is "truth for aspiring talent" and we mean that sincerely. It is our intention to offer detailed, up front, honest advice to aspiring models of all ages regarding pursuing the MN Modeling Market. As the founder of Model Integrity, my passion is to help people avoid the far too prevelant scams in this industry and help them pursue finding a legitimate local modeling agency. I have been where many of you are, trying to find my way into the world of modeling, and quickly found that all of the ads I responded to, open calls I went to, interviews and meetings I attended, wanted me to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to "become a model" or "be discovered." It seemed almost impossible to come by the info I really needed to find my way in...

Now, after being in this industry for over 10 years as a part time local model, and having a young daughter who models as well, it is a passion of mine to help people avoid these traps (that are SO very convincing) & get the information the need to give modeling their best shot - the right way.

Our intention is to do this in a variety of ways, from Model Searches (like our premiere open model call event that took place last week!) to smaller events, but we will continually be offering the "Model Intensive Mini Workshop" as the staple for any model or parent to get EVERYTHING they need to know about pursuing the local modeling market.

You can find all the details about this workshop in the posting below this one. And you are always welcome to email us at modelintegrity@juno.com for more details or other upcoming workshop dates. We charge a reasonable, one-time fee for this workshop to cover time and expenses - a small investment well worth making; and one that may save you thousands of dollars on unncecessary expenses (and potentially help you make thousands of dollars as a model). Everything I wish I'd known when I was starting, and everything I've learned as a model since.

Most importantly, you can be assured that we at Model Integrity have your best interest in mind. If modeling is something you want to pursue, we can definitely help. Please ready the next posting for more info on our Workshops and browse our site (www.modelintegrity.com) for other info about us.

Best of Luck!

PS - Here's what one recent participant of our Workshop had to say: "The mini session was very helpful. I didn't know where to begin or who to trust. Shannon gave a good foundation for us to begin in modeling and is very trustworthy." -C.G.
