TRU News

OK here’s the skinny (no pun intended) on what’s been happening with our model management division - TRU Model Management™.

1. New Email Address and Pending Website – Please note that my primary email address has changed and is now tru@trumodelschicago.com. We have secured the domain name for the site and will begin production of the site soon. The official URL for the site will be http://www.trumodelschicago.com/.
2. New Intern – A lots been going on since march and it’s become increasingly difficult to keep up. SO, to ensure that things run more smoothly I have hired an intern. Her name is Theresa Siaw. If you receive a call or email from her it’s no joke; she works for us! LOL
3. Submissions – Letters of Interest have been sent to several high profile fashion events here in Chicago, specifically those previously mentioned (Fashion Focus & Gen Art’s shows) as well as a special charity event for Spina Bifida. We anticipate that our agency will be well received and that our models will be gracing the catwalks for these events!
4. Addition of 4 New Models – In an effort to increase the diversity of our Standard Women’s Division we have recruited four additional models: Fatimah, Irene, Selma and Nicole AKA Nik’ol . Both models tested well and will make fine additions to TRU Model Management™
5. Submission Packet Update – We will begin submitting the actual runway books beginning September 1st. Only the Standard Women’s Book will be submitted. Prep for the Men’s and VOLUPTUA books are underway.
6. MANDATORY Runway Practice – All Standard Models 5’8 and up MUST attend the MANDATORY runway practices scheduled for September 6th, 13th and 20th ; please ensure that you are available. Practice will be held tentatively from 2pm -3:30pm at 1741 N Western Ave., Chicago, IL 60647 on the 2nd floor. Models must be prepared with 3-4 inch heels and a pair of tank/tee and skinny jeans or FORM FITTING dress. Form fitting tops and skirts are also acceptable. PLEASE BE ON TIME. You will have a 5 minute grace period after which a fine of $2.00 will be owed by the model. If you do not show you will be fined $5.00 and removed from submissions for 30 days. Once we are satisfied with your walk practices will be conducted once per month.

Again, we will begin making preparations for both the Men’s book and the VOLUPTUA Women’s Book in approximately one 30-60 days. Until that time please continue to perfect your craft, keep shooting with quality photographers and contact me with me with any and all questions. Regarding anything in this email (or what’s not in the email!). Thanks for your continued support and just wait – BIG things are on the horizon for everyone that sticks with us and are TRU to their passion for modeling!
