The team at Pink Avenue Models is teaming up with a new client for the Affiliate Summit 2012 in Las Vegas! This conference will be held at Caesars Palace January 8-10. The Affiliate Summit was formed in 2003 with the thought of educating on the new industry issues. Last year there were almost 5,000 attendees so we are hoping for even more in 2012. As always there will be great keynote speakers and tons of great networking opportunities. We are excited to be part of another great event in Las Vegas!

Virtual Models? Yes, It's Happening!

I'm sure that you have heard of the new thing computerized models, right? It's all I have heard about the last 24 hours, it was on tv, the radio, and there are tons of online articles about it. H&M has admitted to using "completely virtual" models for their new lingerie ads. A lot of the wardrobe for H&M is being shot on mannequins and are then fixed with photo editing software after. They do use real models faces and then just place them on to the mannequins body during the editing process where they are humanized. Even the faces are edited, skin tones are changed, freckles are added, and other changes can also be made. The point of this article is to prove that the models you see in ads are altered and that nobody is perfect, photo editing changes everything. Do you think what H&M is doing is wrong?

5 Things Promotional Models Should Do This Month

Since it's Winter and things tend to be a little slower during this season we thought we would make a small list of things for you to catch up on this season.

1. Update your pictures! We want to show our clients recent pictures of our models so take some time out and set up a photo shoot.


2. Update your resume. It's nice for modeling agencies to know your experience. We know its hard to update it after every event but try and keep it as current as possible.


3. Buy those items you're missing. Make sure that you have everything you could need for a promotion. Khaki pants/shorts, black dress, black closed toe heels, gym shoes, black pants, a blazer for trade shows. Every event requires different attire but these items are frequently requested.


4. Add yourself to more agency databases. The more companies that have your information, the more opportunities you will receive.


5. Take time to update your profiles on any modeling website or agency page. Update your pictures, resumes, stats, age, address or anything else that may have changed.

These things should keep you a little busier this season. It's best to keep things current, it will guarantee you more work and shows that you care about the industry you work in. Don't forget to send us your new info, pictures or resumes!
