Crosby Tailor at Major Men

Another 'Major' hot shot! Crosby Tailor sure is an eye-catcher with his lean physique and couture face. He looks great in every shot, whether he's sporting a formal suit or barely anything at all!

He's had the chance to work with photographers Greg Vaughan and Ronald Tan, among other industry professionals. An amazing agency and raw talent like his equals a promising career! We want to see ALOT of you, Crosby!

Check out the spread Masha Rudenko did for Cosmopolitan in Germany...you just gotta love her look and attitude...keep the good work Masha!!

Masha is with Major Model Management in New York

Our latest discovery - Annika Burmester

We met Annika at a certain private spot for drinks last night, surprisingly after talking to her we found out she had no agency, previously represented by Major Model Management (we have no idea why they even thought of not renewing her contract after she got back from Germany), this girl was a little bit lost about what to do and where to go...good thing we found her before anybody else did ;)

Keep posted as we can assure you she will go places and we will be backing her up all the way...

IMTA: scam? window of opportunity? blessing?

We were fortunate enough to attend the IMTA awards this past week that where held at The Hilton Hotel on 53rd and 6th Avenue.

This being our first physical interaction with IMTA gave us a lot of mixed signals and different opinions, this is how our evening started and how it developed:

When we arrived we were taken to a back room with an open bar, we saw some models, bookers and other fashion industry insiders. Our first impression was this is quite the small award ceremony compared to VH1 fashion awards (if you remember those). Talking to presenters that were giving out the awards for model of the year (female and male) we saw how they were discovered during this convention.

We took a walk through out the halls and saw aspiring models, and other young people that think that they can model when the reality is completely far from the truth.

They escort us to the VIP section at the dinner, and to our surprise we see around 3,000 guests at this dinner, everything from scouts, bookers, agents, photographers, coreographers, models, aspiring models, aspiring actresses, parents, guests...WOW it blew our mind away the great impact this convention has on the American culture and the whole world for that matter.

At our table we had the pleasure to meet some models that are signed with Whilemina and Elite Model Management, they actually got discovered at this event a few years go.

We ran into bookers from M4 Model Management in Germany, Ford Models, Elite, IMG, Major, Whilemina, Beatrice in Paris..well a lot of important names in the industry. Surrounded by tables with major players in the scene and talking to them apparently it all comes down to the final rounds of MODELS OF THEY YEAR (female and male).

The ceremony starts, there are some performances by some young aspiring musicians, which I have to say they were NOT good at all, except for this phillipino brother and sister who blew our minds away with their voices...young men aspiring to be the next Justin Timberlake, or the next Yianni (famous piano player in case you do not know!)

We can see how IMTA is a business, they feed off of the dreams of hundres, THOUSANDS of young men and women around the globe with the "opportunity" of getting their foot into stardom. The scence of "scam" comes to our heads...but the slowly we start seeing how 1 out of 500 actually has potential, and is that 1 person that makes a complete difference, either if he or she is a model or actress.

By my left side I see this older gentleman sitting down enjoying his cheesecake, and slowly I notice how every agent in the room waved or came by to pay his/hers respects. This was no other than a huge producer for TV and MOVIES that is there with the sole purpose of seeing who is the female/male model of the year and also to see what potential there is for the acting division competition. Now this competition for actors is quite impressive, the most impressive category was the kids division...the kids that won their categories...WOW!! You could see an 8 year old little boy nailing to perfection his role, this is what this gentleman was looking for.

We started talking to this producer which we will call AL, he started telling us about how he has been attending this conventions for 23 years and has discovered talent for famous TV shows and BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES, he did not give away names as for confidentiality of his clients, but I can see this guy is not joking around. Even though IMTA is a well oiled machine that charges around $5,000 dlls. to each contestant to participate, it is what they claim to be...A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.

Now after numerous awards for dancers, singers, actors...the awards for MODELS OF THE YEAR start, this is what we are here for...with the question mark in our heads...is this for real or is this just a scam?

Well ladies and gentleman its as real as it gets, we had the opportunity to see amazing talent walking down that stage, faces we will see in NUMERO, V MAN, VOGUE, COSMOPOLITAN, NYLON, GQ to mention a few, gracing runways of Paris, Milano, New York...I mean the talent they brought to this competition took my breath away, I got to see FIRST ROW how young men and women from all over the country came as an aspiring model and left as an agency model.

IMTA is definitely an opportunity to shine and learn, do not miss the chance if you have it.

Model Apartment: Love it or Hate it?

My experience about the models apartment.

I know a lot of models have had bad experiences with models apartments. You don't have any privacy, the place is over crowded. other girls stealing your things, etc. I didn't experience any of that, Major Models Management got us a very comfortable apartment, and I only have three roomies. They even have a housekeeper for us who cleans the entire apartment for us every weekend. I love my roommates. They are the most beautiful, kind, and caring people I've ever met. I'm not that type of person who can live with strangers, but they made me feel so comfortable, and they are like my sisters. We go to castings together, hang out, go to parties and stay up all night. I've had the funniest times of my life with them.

The only bad thing about models apartment (for me) is that I cannot have my friends over if they are not major models, and the other bad thing is: it's too expensive!

I would recommend a model apartment only if you are in town for a couple of weeks or any short term period. It wouldn't work if you plan to stay for a long term period.

I wouldn't recommend model apartments if you can afford to get you own apartment, because if you get you own apartment it's way cheaper. Unless you have too much money to spend...which usually isn't the case when you're first starting out!
