And instead of dance you want to model?
Perfect!

Introducing . . .
THE [sic] 24HR GLAM-A-THON

OUR challenge is to do 48 different photo shoots in 24 hours to raise funds for our 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival production of Mellisa James Gibson's [sic].

YOUR challenge is to work with one of our amazingly talented photographers and creative teams to get the shot of a lifetime.

For a $35 donation

We provide the PHOTOGRAPHER
We provide the MAKEUP ARTIST
We provide the HAIR STYLIST


HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

All photo shoots are booked in advance.

We have broken up the 24 hours into 30 minute blocks. You choose the 30 minutes that is best suited to you. Maybe you'll choose your favourite photographer, or your favourite concept or your favourite location, or maybe you just want to join us for some craziness at 4AM.

You will spend 1 hour prior to your photo shoot with hair and makeup, and the full 30 minutes with your photographer.

CAN'T DO IT ALONE? Bring your friends along for only $25 per additional person to a maximum of 3 additional people.

After the shoot is finished you choose your favourite shots through our web gallery and we’ll hand deliver the prints to your home. Each person in the shoot will receive one (1) complimentary print and additional prints can be ordered at $10.00 per print.

*Please note that if adding additional people to your shoot only one (1) hour is dedicated to Hair & Makeup and will be divided equally amongst all participating parties. It is recommended (but not required) to purchase an additional subsequent photo shoot (eg. 6:00PM - 6:30PM & 6:30PM - 7:00PM) to accommodate all. Your additional people must be added to the 2nd photo shoot as well (eg. 1st Photo Shoot + Add 2, 2nd Photo Shoot + Add 2).  One (1) additional complimentary print per person will be included with any additional group photo shoot purchases.
