The Renaissance Pleasure Faire will be the host location for this 'Two Day Doubleshoot' (11am-6pm). The RenFaire will be hosting their 'Steampunk Time Traveler' costume contest ONLY on this weekend (April 21st & 22nd), so this will be a 2 day 'doubleshoot' featuring some truly outrageous Steampunk costumewear (Renaissance Era costumes as well), with prize money awarded for best Steampunk costumes. This will be the third year Select Models has hosted a shoot at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire, and if you've never attended a RenFaire, you are in for some wildass party animal funtimes, with tasty food & drinks and amazing shows taking place all day long thru-out the fairgrounds. Attending photographers must purchase a RenFaire admission ticket for their one sponsored model, and will have access to shoot HUNDREDS of other 'Steampunk Time Traveler' contestants and well as THOUSANDS of other Renaissance Pleasure Faire participants. Discount admission tickets ($23 each) can be purchased in advance on the Renaissance Pleasure Faire website at http://www.renfair.com, so purchase advance tickets for you and your model and get an entire day of mega funtimes entertainment for only $46. There is no additional shoot fees or signup costs to attend this event, just purchase your admission tickets in advance (or pay $25 per ticket at the door), and party like a rockstar with a great group of fellow MM members. Website also had specific event details and directions to their Irwindale location (near the 605 and 210 freeways). If you are a photographer or model interested in attending, please post a message on this events forum thread on which day you will be attending (Saturday or Sunday), and we'll start a list of participants for both days. This will be mega-monster funtimes... hope to seeya there!... Mar 26 12 11:56 pm Link Drunkin wenches and sexy party babes abound at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire, with hundreds of them all over the fairgrounds. Here's a shot from last year... Mar 27 12 12:14 am Link Big advantage to attending a two day event... one day could be possibly cold, windy or rainy... while the other day could be warm and sunny. You'll have two days to work with and the option of better weather on one of those days... Mar 27 12 08:28 am Link Now this would be my very favorite shoot. I love Ren Faire. Been to the one in Northern Ca a number of times. This has got to be great... Mar 27 12 09:37 am Link Had a blast at this shoot last year. Hope to make it this year too I love the RenFaire!!!

Mar 27 12 11:56 am Link I love events like this though I have never been to many.. don't know too much about how it works. I am both a photographer and a model and would like to attend as either... I would prefer model so I could wear a really cool outfit how does it work? Could I find a stylist who is looking for somebody to wear an outfit? Or a photographer that is looking for a model? I don't really have any outfits myself! Any help is appreciated Mar 27 12 12:34 pm Link Samantha Carly wrote: Hey Samantha... if you make that 3000+ mile trip from Canada... I'll purchase your admission ticket and make SURE to get some majorly rockin pics of you girl... so pack your bags... hope to seeya there...

Mar 27 12 06:41 pm Link I have not been to this in years and your shoot sounds like the perfect reason I need to go back.

I'm thinkin there might be conventions up there like ComicCon or AdultCon... shows full of freaks and pervs. WOW... never thought about that... but those gigs could be right up my alley... Mar 28 12 08:26 am Link I'll definitely be going! =] Mar 28 12 11:13 am Link -torrid wrote: COOL... great seein you there last year girl... you doin Steampunk this year? Mar 28 12 07:36 pm Link Okay, I am looking for 3 models that are interested but have no outfits. I have 3 different corsets and material to create some very beautiful outfits. For one lucky model I even have the skirt. All you need is your imagination, a thrift store to get a long skirt and maybe some extras. Com'on now let's create and make this event. Look at the outfits in the pics that Gary has up, with a little imagination and materials you could end up with some awesome pics. Mar 28 12 08:13 pm Link Hey Ruben... thanks for the kudos... and NO DOUBT... photographers attending this event have the potential of landing some AMAZING shots. On top of whatever models from MM attend, there's ALWAYS loads of great 'potential models' just walking around and waiting for people to take their pics. Here's a shot of Mandy from Daxo Provence at last year's RenFaire... one of a few hundred parade girls who loved posing for the cameras...

My neighbor is into making Ren Faire outfits and outfits from the 40's, 50's and 60's. I am going to talk her into helping out.

Apr 01 12 08:36 am Link Select Models wrote: Silly Gary. I put it up yesterday and there are 7 days in a week. The shoot is the 21st and 22nd which is 21 and 22 days away. 3x7=21. Silly silly silly. Even by my math the models have one day short of 3 weeks. Apr 01 12 10:00 am Link Mizz Ro wrote: I'll be coming along with MIzz RO for the Sunday event.
