I know that Pink Avenue Models blogs a lot about our expectations and rules of working promotions. We also mention what every promotional model should have in their closet but I don't think we ever mentioned where to get these items for cheap. Today I have been researching popular stores to get the cheapest prices on the items that models will need when working events. Some of these basic items are less than $10! Have fun shopping!
Black skirt. This is a must! You can dress this up and look professional at a trade show but you can also use it while working liquor promotions. I found one at Forever 21 for only $5.50!
Khaki shorts. These will be a requirement for brand ambassadors in the summer. Old Navy is a good place to go for khaki shorts and they will cost around $20. Aeropostale will also have them for about $25, and American Eagle $35. Make sure when making this purchase that the shorts are not too short or too tight.
Black heels. Every model should have a pair of simple black closed toe shoes. Gojane.com has shoes for about $23 and Charlotte Russe has great shoes for about the same price. Another good place to go for name brand shoes at cheap prices is T J Maxx or Marshalls.
Khaki pants/black pants. Models will wear these all the time! It's best to go to a department store for these and you can usually find them on sale. Old Navy would be a good place to go as well.
White button down shirt. This is requested a lot at trade shows. H&M is a great place to go. You should be able to find one there for less than $20.
Little black dress. A must! This is worn at trade shows, charity events, bar promotions and other events. Models can get a simple dress from Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal, Forever 21 , H&M, Urban Outfitters, Victoria's Secret, or Macy's. Prices can range from $20 -$80. Buy one that fits great and makes you feel amazing.
I hope our shopping tips helped you all. Never spend a lot of money on these things, look good at an affordable price.

Interview Questions
I noticed that a lot more of our clients and other modeling agencies are starting to interview their potential models more these days. This is great news and something we have done for a while. It is always nice to know all you can about your models and the only way to find out is to ask. We are going to start posting some common interview questions and the best answers too help you have a perfect interview.
Q. Why should we hire you?
A. You should answer this by complementing yourself by showing your strengths without bashing anyone else. We would love to hear... I think that I would be a great fit for this promotion because I have past experience working events like this. I have an outgoing personality, love meeting new people and am professional and reliable.
Q. What would you do if another model doesn't show up?
A. People ask this because it happens all the time and we want to know that you can handle the event if this happens. The perfect answer for this would be... I would first call my contact person from the agency and tell them that we are missing a model. (The agent is the only person that can find a replacement.) After that I would continue setting up and getting ready to execute the promotion. The promotion always has to go on and I will do my best to make the situation as good as it can be.
This is just the first of many blogs to come. Always have confidence in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself how will clients and your contacts at modeling agencies?

Michigan Avenue Magazine
Today I found out about a magazine that I wish I would've known about a long time ago. Michigan Avenue Magazine is a must read for anyone interested in the modeling and fashion industry. This magazine has great articles, awesome fashion and shopping advice and a list of all the "must attend" events, it is a luxury magazine with a Chicago point of view. This month Joanna Krupa is on the cover and she looks amazing. She is one of my favorite models and actually grew up in Chicago. You can check out the magazine at www.michiganavemag.com or subscribe for $55 a year.
