alaskametro<3 2011 Model Call results

It was hard to choose (you all have such pretty avatars!) but the results are in… the ten models I’ll be using for upcoming print work are:

Khitten Kurka
Harlee Guardian
Helen Zhora
Joycey Crescendo
Madison Sullivan
Nessa Rhosar
Dar Moleno
Tabitha Somersley
Caludra Carlberg
Dearra Silbersztein

What did I base my selection on? Primarily, I wanted a range of looks… I don’t think the only avatars who enjoy my fashions have skinny model-esque avatars, so I’ve also chosen some curvier ladies. (And yes, I realize my own avatar could use a sandwich!) I looked for avatars whose face shape already complimented my skins. I also looked for body proportion… there’s nothing worse than showing clothes on a body shape that just doesn’t look right!

There’s some very experienced models in this list, and some newcomers… welcome, ladies, and I look forward to working with you!

alaskametro<3 2011 Model Call

alaskametro<3 Model Call 2011

Ever wanted to be a fashion model in Second Life? Already have a modelling career, and want more print work? The alaskametro<3 brand is holding an open model call to any and all female avatars, regardless of experience.

Follow the application process below, and send your application by February 17, 2011, for a chance to join an exclusive alaskametro<3 fashion models group.

Selected models will receive ongoing print work for both catalogue and advertising, profiles on alaskametro-sl.com, L$300 per photoshoot, and will keep all beauty and fashion products. alaskametro<3 models will also have first choice for in-world live events and fashion shows.

My easy application process:

1) Visit the Marketplace (direct product link) or visit my in-world office to purchase the 2011 Model Call kit for L$0. This kit contains a bikini and skin for you to wear for photos, as well as official rules.

2) Take two photos, one portrait (headshot) and one full length body. See examples; photos should feature clear, even lighting, hair pulled back from the face, and a plain background. Please refrain from heavy post-processing/photo editing.

3) Attach both photos to a notecard titled “alaskametro<3 2011 Model Call – <YOUR NAME>“. Failure to title your notecard correctly means I’ll miss it in my inventory and you won’t be entered! You’re invited to also include a brief resume of any modelling experience you may have, but inexperienced models are welcome to apply.

4) Drop the notecard on ALASKA METROPOLITAN before MIDNIGHT SLT, FEBRUARY 17, 2011.

    (official rules and photo examples after the cut)
