Last night the new season of ANTM aired and it was exciting, full of drama and had short girls! This season all of the models are under 5’7”. The show cut down to the top 20, then the top 14, and now is at 13 petite models. Pink Avenue Models will be giving a weekly recap of the show starting today.
Originally I thought Ciara was going to make it to the final 2 but she got kicked off after the top 20 so my new pick is Rae. Bianca is a drama queen but what was wrong with Amber? Amber left the show for personal reasons after making it to the top 14, will the show be as crazy without her? I think Nicole will add some entertainment even though she has no reaction to anything and never talks. Maybe she is emotionless? She sure did rock her photo shoot! Pink Avenue Models has to be a fan of Ashley, she’s from Chicago. Lisa was kicked off last night but that was expected. This season is going to be very interesting and we are excited to give a weekly recap on it.
Watch ANTM every Wednesday night to learn about photo shoots, runway, fashion, beauty, modeling, the industry and the best modeling agencies out there. I can’t wait for next weeks show!

Labor day was yesterday which pretty much means that summer in Chicago is over. Pink Avenue Models had a busy summer and staffed a lot of fun events, we are actually looking forward to the fall. Our Chicago models might be wondering how they are going to keep that summer tan that they love. Well, Pink Avenue Models has done some research and found the best sunless tanners out there. Promotional models, trade show models, print models, and even brand ambassadors love to have that summer glow and here are a few products that they can use year round. Using sunless tanners are the easiest, and safest ways to get that sun tanned look, do not go to tanning salons!
1. Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel. This product costs about $32 and can be found at Sephora. It is easy to apply, no streaking and has a natural color.
2. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. This product is about $7 and can be found everywhere. It’s cheap, doesn’t streak and can be used as a replacement for your daily moisturizer.
3. Neutrogena Micromist Tanning Sunless Spray. This product can also be found anywhere and costs around $10. It dries in about 5 minutes, should be blended in so there are no streaks and goes on easy.
4. Estee Lauder Go Tan Sunless Towelettes. This will cost about $24 for 10 towelettes. These are convenient, have little odor and dries quickly.
5. Mystic Tan. You can get this service at most tanning salons, it will cost about $25 per session.
Models might feel better if they look tan which is normal but just do it in a safe way. Tanning causes wrinkles, age spots, and aged skin not to mention cancer. Use these 5 products for a natural looking tan.

Some people love working out and others absolutely hate it. Well a requirement in the modeling industry is to be in shape. Promotional models, print models, runway models, and even trade show models need to be in shape. It sucks but in this industry you are hired based on your looks, measurements and personality. Working out and eating healthy is something models must do even if they hate it. The best advice that Pink Avenue Models can give to their models is to make working out fun. Bring a friend, take an exciting class, listen to music, make it part of your daily routine. You will feel so good after a work out and you will be full of energy, which models need in this industry. The hard part is getting your butt to the gym. If you have any fun work out ideas let Pink Avenue Models know so we can share it with our models. You can email all ideas to info@pinkavenumodels.com.
