After long nights promoting in midtown and downtown,
bombarding social media outlets with hashtag-GFW and nervously handing out hot
cards to attractive passers-by, our Model Casting Call finally arrived!
Interns and directors ushered in a plethora of high heeled and
chiseled potential models from 12 to 5 pm at our neutral7 offices.
Fresh-faced and excited, models handed in applications and
fees to interns at our tent. As they walked into the building, they took
multiple headshots and many cheeks flushed pink when male models decided to
show off perfect six packs for the photographer.
Next came the measurement station. Models were measured from
head to toe by the bubbly group of interns who barely batted a well-mascaraed
eyelash about measuring inseams.
Finally, it was time for Gainesville’s hottest to strut
their stuff on the runway. Judged by a panel of directors and interns, each
model was given a critique and asked to pose, pivot and repeat.
Phew! Five hours, four boxes of pizzas, three-dozen donuts,
and countless cups of coffee later, the Gainesville Fashion Week team is more
excited, and probably more caffeine-addicted, than ever before. We can’t wait
for callbacks on Wednesday at 7 pm at Cellar 12, and don’t forget our make up
Casting Call is tomorrow from 1 to 4 pm!
So excited for what’s to come,
- Roberta and Alyssa
