Our friends over at Austinist asked us to pass along this casting call for Lucky magazine--one of their writers, Breanna, made the cut and will be striking a pose in the mag's glossy pages come March '08--and now they're looking for some lovely Angeleno ladies for a local shoot. Could you be one of them?
The shoot is going to take place here in Los Angeles on Friday, January 4th. According to their press info, what they are looking for are "real professional women." They want local established professionals, ages 20-35, who "have a distinct, professional style. Unfortunately, Lucky is not looking for women who work in the following fields: Fashion, PR, Beauty, Retail, Acting, or Music." (We're guessing waitresses with a box of headshots in the back of their Honda don't count, either.)
Moreover, since only sample sizes are available, you must be between size 2-8. "It involves a brief time commitment and the requisite hair, makeup, and wardrobe treatment with the end result being a prominent portrait in a spring issue."
Here's more specific info:
They'd like to find the girls for the shoot by the end of the day Wednesday, at which point Lucky will choose the one's they'll shoot and contact them for scheduling. If you fit the above criteria, please email sarah@wittypioneers.com or amy@wittypioneers.com with the following information:Good luck!Head and Body shots, Full name, Email address, Cell phone number, Profession, Age, Height, Dress size, Jean size, Shoe size

No one I know outside of the Fashion/Acting/Music/PR realm actually has had head & body shots professionally done. Unless high school yearbook photos qualify. Ooh, could bathroom mirror self-portraits count? Like, MySpace-style?
i think they just mean a shot of just the head/face and a shot of the whole body--not professional shots. but you can contact the coordinators (emails listed in the post) if you would like to know more about the photos.
I'm deeply offended by this sexist, objectifying, "women of beauty are a commodity" crap.
Is this what Laist has to sink too? Stop offending women with this ugly nonsense!

Good one Ross! LMFAO!!
Don't do it ladies! I too was offered to be in Lucky Magazine for their "Lucky Girl" segement that appears in every issue. I was flattered. They FLEW to LA, brought a make up artist and a professional photographer, did the whole photoshoot in my apartment, and never used it. They had chosen me based on my 'rad personal style', but once they arrived, they were disapointed that I didn't own 'that much designer clothing'.
I guess 'rad personal style' translates to 'expensive' ?
I'm sexy, I'm cute
I'm popular to boot
I won't make the cut
'Cause I've got a big butt!
Lucky...Oh, that magazine is such a silly joke. 2 - 8??? Really? Talk about missing out. I can pull up a list 40 women right now who'd make the cut, but they run a size 12 on up.
