St
Johns search for the Model of the Year
ST JOHNS Shopping Centre has teamed up with Liverpool’s
longest established modelling agency in the search for the city’s
hottest modelling talent. Absolute Model Management will launch St
Johns first ever model competition next month in the hope of finding
Liverpool’s next big thing.
The lucky winner will receive a professional portfolio worth up to
£1,000 and a much sought after modelling contract with Absolute.
Absolute has already secured jobs for some of the winners
guaranteeing that their debut into the world of modelling is made
with a bang! Howard Smith of Absolute Model Management says:-
“We are always looking for new talent and we think Liverpool is the
place to find it. We look forward to representing the winners and
developing their careers with us.”
The search will take place on the Upper floor of St Johns Shopping
Centre from 8 April until the 19 April between 11am and 4pm. The
event is hosted by Radio City 96.7 and is sure to be star a studded
affair with the celebrity judging panel including Hollyoaks hotty
Sarah Dunn who plays Mandy Hutchinson, Miss British Isles winner
2005 Ashley Kerr and former Pretty Polly model Katie Froud. With
four age categories for both sexes, the competition really is open
to everyone. Absolute Model Management want to see what the city is
made of whether you’re 0 or 100!
Marsha Freeman St Johns Marketing Manager talks to us about the
origins of the model search saying:- “Our shoppers always look
great while checking out the latest fashions at St Johns. Following
on from the success of last year’s Cute Kids competition we thought
we’d go one better and open up the competition to all our gorgeous
shoppers to search for St Johns model of the year.” Marsha
then goes on to say that, “St Johns is excited to have
Hollyoaks star Sarah Dunn involved in selecting the winners.”
Sarah Dunn:- “Before I landed a part in Hollyoaks and was
still at school I was a model, so I know how exciting the job can
be. The people of Liverpool really take care of themselves and I’m
looking forward to see who comes forward. Competitions like these
are a great way to get into the industry, you never know, you may
find yourself on Hollyoaks one day.”
Katie Froud is also the founder of ALBA, the independent modelling
watchdog recognised nationally and worldwide as the UK’s only
independent modelling advice service to the public. Absolute Model
Management is the only accredited ALBA agency in Liverpool. Katie
Froud draws attention to the importance of using a proven agency
saying:- “The modelling industry is a really exciting place to
be but it can be unpredictable. Whether you are the parents of a
child, or you are looking for yourself, a reputable agency such as
Absolute Model Management protects you against scams and puts your
mind at ease. All of our accredited agencies adhere to a strict code
of practice so you’re free to enjoy the job while being represented
by a genuine and honest agency.”
Entry forms will be available throughout St Johns in every store
from 3 April and anyone under the age of 18 wishing to take part
must have their entry form signed by a parent or guardian. |
RAE
OF SUNSHINE FOR THE SUMMER POPS!
THE brightest
musical discovery of 2006, CORINNE BAILEY RAE has sensationally
announced a special one-off show at this year's Pops. She joins an
already first-class line up which boasts a double sell out by rock
legends The Who, along with shows from Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys,
a-ha, Simply Red, Il Divo, Ronan Keating, Sugababes, James Brown,
Oscar Peterson, Westlife, Whitesnake, The Australian Pink Floyd
Show, Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy.
With some of the biggest names already announced and more still to
come, organisers CMP Entertainment are confident this year's Pops
bill is the strongest yet in the event's six year history. During
this time the Summer Pops has become recognised as Liverpool's
showcase musical event and one of the key dates on the European
festival circuit.
Since being widely tipped as the artist to watch in 2006, Corinne
Bailey Rae has not disappointed. Emerging into the limelight fully
formed, with a stunning voice which combines the modern soul style
of Macy Gray and Alicia Keys with the timeless jazz influence of
Billie Holliday, Bailey Rae has united critics and the public alike,
with her debut album entering the charts at number one.
Full of stunning songs like recent top ten hit, 'Put Your Records
On', Corinne's self titled album has already sold over 100,000
copies, and she is fast gathering a live reputation to match.
Currently in America, where she looks set to emulate the State-side
success of James Blunt, Corinne will return to Liverpool where she
has already sold out an April show at the Academy. With a new single
'Trouble Sleeping' set for release at the end of the May, this is
the perfect opportunity to catch in an intimate setting, the hottest
UK artist around before she becomes a huge star!
Promoter Chas Cole said:- "Corinne Bailey Rae is one of the
brightest new talents to emerge this year, and her appearance at the
Pops, shows it's an event which can attract the biggest contemporary
acts to Liverpool."
