I know a promotional model that goes to Las Vegas every single month, and it's not for work, she loves Vegas that much.

Time for a Pink Avenue Rant

It's time for a rant. This has happened a couple of times recently and it has happened in the same city. I worked as a promotional model for many years and am still heavily involved in the industry. I see the social media posts, I have friends that still work and I am aware of how much promotional models should get paid. Working trade shows and events for many years gave me a clear understanding of the pay range. Working as a promotional model for many years gives promotional models that work for Pink Avenue Models an advantage because I will always be on their side and try to do what is best for them. We pay fast, we pay within range and we are very careful about what events we agree to work on and what uniforms are appropriate. We send out detailed castings to see who is available for certain jobs, the pay rate is listed on there. Models tell me that they are available and then ask for more money. I'm confused, you told me you were available and then asked for more money when the client wanted to book you? This is when I have to agree that some people in this industry are divas and take the title model way to far, Mariah Carey attitude. To sum things up... a client has a budget, we stick to that budget and offer local talent work, they agree to work for a set rate. That is where it ends. If you ask for more money you are eliminated from that position. We book hundreds of events a year and have for almost 9 years, we know what we are doing. Team Pink Avenue

Chicago Trade Shows - February 2017

Well, it's 2017. I heard so many bad things about 2016, everyone hated it, but I still don't know why. Is it because of all of the celebrity deaths? I will never know why that causes problems in others personal lives but that is just me. I don't want to say that I had a great 2016, I had many amazing moments, but I had some bad ones too and I think that is normal. I can say that next month will be our 9th anniversary so that is exciting! Getting back on track... here is a look at trade shows taking place in Chicago next month. McCormick Place 2017 Chicago Auto Show. February 11 - 20. Chicago Dental Society-Annual Midwinter Meeting. February 23 - 25. Rosemont Convention Center 49th Annual RV & Camping Show. February 16 - 19. Our World Underwater. February 24 - 26. 34th Annual Golf Show. February 24 - 26. We all know that January ad February in Chicago are extremely slow. Enjoy your time off, save some money, but use this time to update your resume and pictures. Start the new year fresh!
