Ladies, Want to Get Lucky?
()
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."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
