Please be aware that you will need to be at con on Thursday to be a model.

...this is news as of now? It would've been helpful for those of us coming from out of state to have had this in mind when applying.

[El Ken]

I'm sorry for that late information about Thursday. That was the request from Kincs for Sixh and Hangry&Angry models. Friday morning will be rehearsal for the Sixh. Opera, and Saturday morning will be the rehearsals for Angelic Pretty and Hangry&Angry. I will inquire again about that requirement, as it is a bit unreasonable. Perhaps we can make it for early Friday for all Kincs models with Sixh. models sticking around for rehearsal afterward.

Angelic Pretty has not yet outlined a model schedule.

I will post back here with the absolute details. I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of the Thursday requirement.

[Matcha Parfait]

Thanks for giving us more information, El Ken. I really appreciate it~

I think the Thursday requirement is fair. Having both rehearsals on one day takes a huge time chunk out of the day, and there is also the show itself taking place on that Friday so that is a lot to do on one day. I would be fine with it either way, but it would have been nice to have the requirements listed when applications opened so those traveling far can make arrangements to accommodate for this.

I would think Thursday later in the day (ie: after 7 pm) would work for a lot of people. I'm going to schedule my flights to get in early, just in case. (i doubt i will be chosen)

I agree, it's understandable that they'd need to have models available for things like fitting and choreography ahead of time, and simply to make sure the models selected are serious about showing up so the designers aren't left in the lurch. Neither the announcement or application said anything about Thursday and I was getting my hopes up. Alas.

Agreed. I'm lucky enough to live in the area, but I can't take Thursday AND Friday off work. If it's Thursday it has to be like after 7. Asking for any earlier time isn't practical for most people's schedules :/

I'd be ecstatic if the Saturday morning AP rehearsal ends up being confirmed; if the model decisions are indeed made two-and-a-half weeks prior to the con, it's cutting it awfully close for those of us who are out-of-state to request two days off from work. Personally speaking, for practicality's sake, I'll only be buying plane tickets and registering for the con if my application is accepted.

[myrla]

I extended my stay another night just to cover all of Sunday, so I feel ya. (haven't booked my flights yet, so I'm lucky in that regard)

Yeah I kinda guessed you'd have to come earlier too and I feel for you guys that can't come in that Thursday but I guess there's no
other way? Maybe they'll only need you for a certain amount of time so at least some of you can plan a half day? I'm also lucky
that I live in Chicago itself so I know how difficult it can be to go out of town. You guys are brave X.X


As far as announcements it would be nice to hear from them ahead of time. Like two weeks ahead or maybe right after the
cut off date so that we're not left hanging for a long time you know.

Seems a bit unfair, but at the same time I'm assuming they are working from a agency/professional Modeling perspective? Maybe they assume that people can get off or that most of the people coming to the event live in state?

I'm assuming that they want to looks at the girls pictures, see if they fit with the style? Maybe that's why so late?

All I know is that I hope I have enough time to work something out with my boss because I'd have to drive from Milwaukee to wherever we meet for this modeling thing (if I get picked) and then have enough time to make it BACK to Milwaukee to sleep and then leave at like 7AM and drive back to ACEN X____X I will have to think long and hard on this. My parents pay for my gas and I don't want them to have to pay for unnecessary travel :| If we do get picked, do we have a window of time to decline if things come up? I'm sure they'll have backups for every person chosen...

[Artemis Cangee]

I'm so impatient! I really want to know who the models are as soon as possible! It would make my weekend if I could be chosen <3

Has there been a set time for the fashion shows yet? I've looked at the panel programming and I did not see either of these shows. Maybe I missed something?
And has their been any updates regarding the Thursday Req? I'm just curious and I'm sure a lot of the ladies are too.

Yes I would like to know about Thursday also! And is there any word about the times of the Q&A sessions or the actual times of the fashion shows? Even if I do not get selected to be a model I would like to attend the shows

The schedule for Main Programming has been finalized as of yesterday. Expect to see that posted to the site soon.

Meantime, I can tell you that the Sixh.OPERA is occurring Friday at noon, with on-stage rehearsal directly before it beginning at 10:30am. Hair and makeup and dressing will be before the rehearsal.

Angelic Pretty's fashion show will be on Saturday at 11:15am. Dress rehearsal will begin at 9:45am (with hair and makeup prior), but there will be another, off-stage rehearsal before that, either even earlier that morning or later Thursday evening.

Hangy&Angry's fashion show will begin at 12:15pm on Saturday. Fitting and rehearsal is at 8:30am (!) on Saturday (sorry, this is the only time I could squeeze out of Main Programming). Showtime fitting and hair and makeup will occur during Angelic Pretty's show.

All brands are requesting to meet the models Thursday evening to go over certain details, and perhaps get some outfit ideas/fittings done. I will request that any meetings take place no earlier than 7pm.

For the morning meetings, I'll try to have coffee, water, light snacks (think cut fruit or granola bars), and maybe juice available.

[Voxx]

Thanks for the update El Ken! ♥

[ElleJay]

That helps a lot; thanks for the information~! I am full of the nervousness!

Times sound great. I can adjust any photoshoots/cosplay around them and it doesn't interfere with my panel

[Washu Takahashi]

Just a couple quick questions -

1. Are we providing our own make-up or are they providing it for us? I wouldn't want to walk in with no make-up on just to have them say they expected that done already! (I'm sure they would want to do our make-up...but just to be safe)

2. From the sounds of the times it will be impossible to be in both the Angelic Pretty and Hangry&Angry shows? I applied for both and would love to do both if accepted (though I doubt Anglic Pretty will accept me anyways since I only just meet their height/shoe size requirements)

3. Any ideas on when we'll know if we were accepted or not? It's getting close and I know all of us are itching to know if we were picked or not xD

1. Hair & Makeup will be done by/provided by ACen.

2. Correct. I said previously that models could not do both Angelic Pretty and Hangry&Angry shows.

3. I'm trying to pin down exact dates with each respective label. I will post again when I have the dates.

[El Ken]

The model application has been shut down. I've been told by the Sixh./Hangry&Angry people that model decisions will be completed no later than April 20 (Yeah, I know... that's late. I'll see if they will get on that a little sooner.). Angelic Pretty tells me that they would like to get it done as soon as possible. Angelic Pretty will be contacting the selected models directly.

Thanks!

[Washu Takahashi]

Thank you!

Good luck to everyone who applied, it'll be super fun if we get to participate

[Artemis Cangee]

Thanks for the updates! I hope I make it in and good luck to everyone else who applied as well!

[SeikoMiwarui]

....Now I have to decide whether or not I just want to take the initiative and take Thursday off of work, or not....As is, I will technically only have one day I can work that week if I get rid of Thursday (unless I can take a shorter shift earlier in the day) but....I don't know T_T I would hate to not ask off, actually make it in (which would doubly be a surprise) and then have to scramble to find someone to cover me.

..Also, that means I would have to drive to Rosemont, do the model thing for whatever they need, and then drive back to Milwaukee to sleep. Get up at 5~6 so we can leave by 7AM and then drive back to Rosemont. I'm going to be so tired if that happens XD.

[Artemis Cangee]

Has anyone been contacted by AP yet? Even if I don't get in I want to know so I stop worrying about it!

[Voxx]

April 20th... ;__; About a week more to go ladies. xfingers crossedx

[El Ken]

I've received the model list from Sixh./Hangry&Angry. Apparently I'll be the one reaching out to everyone for them.

I'll try to get all the emails out by tomorrow (Thursday).

[Voxx]

Fantastic news! Thanks El Ken. You are fanfreakintastic. ♥
