What I wondered is are there are models or photographers here on Model Mayhem who go to these events?  If so, what do you think of the "models" at these events?  I know it's a stretch, but I consider that sort of model as like when a "model" is at a convention for Home Improvement products ... only they drape themselves around cars instead of refrigerators for pictures.  It's a form of modeling that doesn't get due respect from many other models and photographers.   

I know that there are some Import models on Model Mayhem!  The HIN is about to have it's first show of the year in San Jose ... After going to these events for a couple years now, I've decided to get a booth at that next event.  What do you think of these events?  Is it a dirty little secret or are any other photographers and models admit to participation in these events?  I hope I'm not the only one who admits involvement!  LOL

I've been covering these and other modeling events for 3 years now, I enjoy it, a good way to network with models out there. The models at these events can definatly do modeling outside of the events that they make appearances at.

Good luck at the San Jose show, should be a packed one, the season opener always is. My site is www.importfx.net , check it if you would like to see our coverage from HIN, Extreme Autofest, D1, and other events.
