MÁS Quinceañera Expo model search is underway!

By: Teresa Adamo, MÁS staff

Topics: MÁS Quinceañera Expo 2010

You already know that “America’s Top Model” searches for young women with those fresh faces and a desire to walk down a runway with confidence and style.

But did you know that MÁS conducts its own model search?

That’s right — we need models for our Fourth annual Quinceañera Expo & Fashion Show at East Hills Mall, Sunday, April 11.

The Expo takes a lot of planning- so we’re putting the call out RIGHT NOW to girls, ages 13-17, who want to be part of this great event that features local vendors available for quinceañera-related services.

If you’re interested in participating, here’s what we’re looking for in our MÁS Quince Models:

• Demonstrates dedication to academics (3.0 GPA or better).
• Active in school clubs, community organizations, church groups and/or other volunteer service.
• Available for appointments and full commitment to dress fittings, meetings, a photo shoot and a modeling training session. Attendance to all of these requirements is mandatory of our Quince Models, NO EXCEPTIONS!
• We also require a parent’s approval; a parent must also agree to getting their daughter to all appointments on time. If a model misses an appointment, we reserve the right to replace her with another model.

**To be considered, please send an e-mail with the title, “Quince Models” in the “subject line” to: msorto@bakersfield.com.

Please also include a recent photo and the following information: name, age, school, grade level, academic performance & extracurricular activities as well as what your cultural heritage means to you.

Don’t forget to include your contact information (a cell number would be appreciated) and your parent’s contact info, too!

We are also searching for young men who would like to serve as our Quince Models’ escorts at the fashion show. If you have a male friend or relative who may want to join you for the fashion show portion of the Expo, please let us know in your e-mail how we can reach them as well.

Deadline for all Quince Model applications is Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010! Apply today!

Note: Former Quince Expo models will be considered, but new model candidates may be given precedence if there are not enough spots. Please understand that this is so other girls are given a chance to enjoy this wonderful opportunity — and by all means, we still want our former models to apply! ¡Muchas gracias!
