Promotional modeling has a lot of perks, but like any other job it has it’s downfalls. Make sure that you are tough and can handle working in any condition, you never know what will happen at an event. before you think about entering the modeling industry and the world of promotions ask yourself these questions.

1. Can you handle the competitive industry? Models get rejected everyday, can you take the criticism?

2. Are you going to act like a diva if you are asked to do something you don’t want to do at an event? Are you going to cry and whine if it is cold and rainy outside?

3. Can you wait months to get your check from an event?

4. Are you ready to work day and night? Sometimes extremely early and sometimes super late?

5. Are you a people person? Can you talk to anybody and everybody that you see?

6. Can you pretend to be happy, friendly, fun and outgoing even if you are in a bad mood?

7. Do you own black pants, khakis, black skirt, gym shoes and multiple pairs of black heels?

8. Can you stand at an event or trade show for 8-13 hours straight?

9. Do you have professional pictures and a resume that you can send to modeling and staffing agencies nationwide?

10. Models must have a flexible schedule, do you?

Ask yourself these questions before you get started in the modeling industry. This industry is full of beautiful, fun people that are rewarded for their work. It’s a tough industry and you must have thick skin to survive. Pink Avenue Models loves working with new talent so if you have what it takes please submit your profile at www.pinkavenuemodels.com/becomeamodel .

Yes models are expected to have nice bodies all year round. Honestly, even models gain weight sometimes. Since summer is over and models are not expecting to wear bikinis anytime soon they might eat things they avoided all summer. Promotional models, print models, runway models, and even trade show models are hired because of their looks, body and personality. Pink Avenue Models knows that it is important for models to work out, eat right and stay healthy. We found out that there are some foods that you can eat that will burn fat for you. This doesn’t mean that you can get lazy but it is an added way that models can burn fat. Eat these foods to help burn fat without doing anything.

* Almonds. Almonds are high in alpha-linolenic acid which speed up your metabolism.

* Berries. Eating berries will help you burn up to 30% more fat while exercising.

* Oranges. You can eat oranges or drink orange juice with pulp for the best results.

* Soybeans. Eating soybeans will block fat absorption and break down fatty deposits.

* Cinnamon. You can mix this with almost anything!

* Mustard. This will slow the growth of fat tissues.

* Cheese. Calcium enriched foods reduce fat producing enzymes and will increse fat breakdown.

These foods taste great and most can be carried around in a models bag and brounght to their events. As I mentioned before eating these foods is not a work out replacement.

Pink Avenue Models had an exciting event over the weekend. We teamed up with Wheel Pros for a party at their Chicago office. They hired 3 models to help host the party and the girls did an amazing job! Here is a picture from Saturday’s event. Thanks for working girls! Apple, Melissa and Sammy all looked great!

Glamour magazine has done it again and every women in America loves them for it. In the November issue of Glamour magazine you will see a picture of 7 “plus size” models. These women are 3 to 5 sizes larger than models that are normally on the cover of magazines. So where did the idea come from? A few months ago there was a small picture of a plus sized model in Glamour and everyone loved it. Women finally could relate to a model with the same body type as them and everyone wants to see more models like this.

Some say that these women don’t even look big enough to be plus size… well in the modeling industry if you are over a size 6 you are pushed into the plus size division. They say the average woman in America is a size 14 so why are models that are a size 0 or 2 on every magazine? This is a question that will never be answered. Beauty comes in all sizes but young girls grow up thinking  that beautiful girls have to be skinny which causes low self esteem and eating disorders.

The best thing to learn from this is that all women are beautiful in their own way. There is no such thing as a perfect body. Love your self and make sure you are happy in your own skin.
