Male Models: Don't Let Girls of Glam Fool You

The great thing about Girls of Glam is our diverse roster of models, which also includes male models. This is something that sets us apart from other promotion agencies. Rather than looking for males to fill a client’s job with a request for male models at the last minute, Girls of Glam has a full roster of experienced male models ready for work!

The most deceiving part is our branding – Girls of Glam does not particularly appeal to our male roster. However, we are excited that we are able to offer clients our roster of males. Male models are great for many events – including brand ambassadors, bartending and serving, modeling, and many others. Males are becoming increasingly popular for promotional events because they offer a new flavour to the scene, and also more diversity.

Girls of Glam have been receiving more requests for male models and this is something that is really exciting for us as an agency. Our roster is stacked with males who have experience, and it’s only getting stronger. As Girls of Glam continues to grow rapidly, we will be adding more male models to our roster and start to actually push them out to clients more. This means more for our clients to choose from and also more bookings for males. The industry is getting more competitive, and Girls of Glam are happy that we are leading as an example for other agencies.

Paid-To-Party Events: Clearing up the Misconception

Girls of Glam have a strong presence in the club scene, mainly because nightclubs trust our brand and have been pleased with our models in the past, so we continue to maintain our relationships with them. Not to mention, we love hosting Paid-To-Party events. The one thing we want to clear up however, is the paid-to-party misconception. The idea that drunk models are going to be partying with guests in the club all night, and drinking vodka straight from the bottle. Wrong.

Girls of Glam enjoy doing paid-to-party events because it gives guests at the club a new social experience. Models get ‘paid-to-party’ so they can socialize with guests, and make them feel welcome and comfortable. When we are hired to host a nightclub event it is Girls of Glam’s duty to ensure everyone around us is happy, and enjoying their experience at the club. Whether we are greeting guests, serving them samples, or encouraging people to come dance on the dance floor – we ensure it is not our duty to get drunk and party hard, but rather to make sure everyone else is having a good time with us.

Every model must meet the requirements of a paid-to-party event which ensures absolute professionalism, while still being able to enjoy working at the club. The job is titled paid-to-party, but we are still able to maintain our professionalism, and make sure the client gets exactly what they are looking for.

What Do You Get When You Hire Paid-To-Party Models from Girls of Glam

• Girls who have no problem socializing with others
• Friendly, respectful, and outgoing
• All girls must arrive looking polished with full make-up
• Prepared with acquired attire, or ready to wear provided uniform
• If they are offering samples, they will be briefed on the brand
• If they are required to gather a guest list, they will prep the list a week in advanced unless booking is short notice.
• They will maintain professionalism, and will not become intoxicated while working
• If you have invited Girls of Glam to host an event, it’s a great way to spread word of mouth, and also to make the event that much more enjoyable.

Having models at the club is a great wait to get people to socialize, and it also gives the club a more welcoming atmosphere. Guests will have an opportunity to socialize with girls who are representing the club. If you would like to have Girls of Glam host an event at your club, contact us at glam.promotion@gmail.com

Scams in Modelling: How to Protect Yourself Against Modelling Fraud

Making it in the world of modelling is always tough – especially on your own. As a representative of many talented females and males, Girls of Glam always wants to ensure the safety of their models, and also those who are not part of our team.

We have seen many cases of fraud on websites such as ModelMayhem, and other model / photographer sources. No model ever wants to be misled, or caught up in a scam that could end in a very dangerous situation. Some of these model / photographer sources are great for networking and getting work, but you always have to ensure your safety.

Our blog this week was inspired by an event where someone under the name Bryan Jacobs stated he was representing Girls of Glam and offered a model a job. Of course this was a scam, but convincing a model that she was being scammed was difficult – and under no circumstances do we want any model to be misled into fraud - whether they are pretending to represent us or any other agency.

Here are some tips on how to do a background check on a photographer:

• ·         Google the name. Do they have a website? Do they have a portfolio? Are they represented well online? Do they have a physical location? Check these items to show the person offering you the gig has some authority built behind them.
• ·         If they don’t have some or any of these, ask if you can bring an escort – a friend, a make-up artist, a stylist – someone who can be there with you. If they say no, don’t go. No photo is worth your safety.
• ·         Ask around. Ask other models on Model Mayhem or other sources where you can contact others who have worked with this person. Find out what they were like to work with, if they made you feel comfortable, if they were forceful or not. These will help you decide whether you should work with them or not.
• ·         If you are ever unsure or uneasy about working with a photographer, or someone who has tipped you off to an agency – always trust your gut. 

In this business, you can never take any chances. Starting out can be tough, but by working with Girls of Glam you can eliminate some of the stress of finding work because we find the jobs for you. But for the girls who are out there on there own, use these tips to make sure you are safe. When an agency contacts you for work - email them at their general email address to confirm your booking. If you hear nothing, call them. Then you know for sure.

Stay safe!
