Magazine for NEW Models …

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

To all the new faces in Malaysia ,

I am once a newbies myself … Staying in this position right now really shatters my heart … look at the girls now … they get low paid jobs , stupid agents cut alot of their pay off , girls con girls collect the payment doesnt wanna pay other girls , man pretend to be agents and do stupid things , irresponsible middle person take advantage of new models , new models do stupid things to get the fame they wanted but end up getting cheated, taken advantaged of but still remain quiet but depressed , the newbies will only be seen in low-paid jobs , and only the famous & recognised faces will have the chance to be featured & seen everywhere. if i were to list out all , it will be pages … i am very sad because alot of girls came to me and tell me all these in the 5 years of me being in this line … i have no power to change ur life , but i am trying my best to help you … helping us , the MALAYSIAN MODELS to speed up their dreams , to be seen by others , to be remembered , to prove themselves someone , belonging … loved , and respected …

This mag started because i do not want to see malaysian model industry falling apart …

all the magazines u see , featuring the same girl over n over again . Even new models , they’ll get all the jobs in that period when they’re up , they’re everywhere …look at the most of the event girls, the non famous ones have no chance at all .. they just remain giving flyers , serving drinks lah , like what ? RM60 one day , OMG ~ what is this ?

So anyone who understand the purpose of this project … stand up for urself … if u think u can offer some help , try to help … be our crew … everyone is welcome … Our magazine needs u , beautiful ppl , both in n out … sincerely

The Magazine Cover Girl search is a new idea for building a platform for all MALAYSIAN NEW MODELS to become a model and to shine , offering them opportunities , giving them secured & well paid jobs , opening up bigger chances for them to be spotted and well recognised by all Malaysians … and only NEW faces will be accepted …

This idea came out because we studied the problems Malaysian Models are facing . Alot of newbies doesn’t have a chance to appear on magazines and papers as there’re too many professional models out there and it is hard for them to be spotted & featured . But we cant possibly take in all request so what we’re gonna choose the one we think stands a chance to do well in this line . What we’re gonna do is to promote those girls who wish to be a model but have no chance to ~ Wasting their money taking unsufficient pictures which gets them no where .. wasting their time , their money , their dream … time is precious for a model , and we wont allow that to happen . And u cant get jobs by sending candid handphone-taken photos *OMG* what r u thinking ~ No ~

We are offering a very cheap half sponsorred package of RM500 , a photography session by our key photographer , a copy of all the photos that u’ve taken will be given back to you & we’ll pick the best ones that u’ve done to be featured on the magazine . giving u a full page of everything about YOU , ur portfolio , ur pictures and also a special tag line for u . We will select around 50 - 70 models , all NEW FACES

U can then get the magazines at any news stands in malaysia except sabah & sarawak (we’re still pending whether we want to include it in) . Ur database will then be sent to few chosen webpages and active forums to be featured & promoted . Besides tru internet , we will forward ur data to few of our appointed agencies to look out for suitable jobs and advertisement , print ads , posters , etc etc . for u.The reason for our action is to open up more chances to give u maximum publicity and appearances, and also to let u stand a bigger chance of getting more jobs & exposure …

We need at least 200K to complete a complete magazine so please dont try to take advantage from us … we’re helping u , if u add up the burden we will just cancel off this project n i wish u all the best by urself … u have a photography session + a full page of yourself in the magazine. We’re gonna create different feels & designs for each girl … Once u r selected , u have to pay RM500 during the shoot, thats the best we could offer u , we give u back all ur photographs , a designed profile in the magazine , in few forums , in few webpages,u r a magazine MODEL and that counts in ur experience ( Haha , u can add into ur profile when u wanna send ppl ur port folio )

ATTENTION : If we picked u , u are SURELY featured in our magazine … we do not simply shoot ANYONE & feature them up …

We will have a few upcoming beauty pageants & also ADVERTISED models party launches where mediaSS will come and u might have a chance to appear everywhere - magazines , newspapers, featured forums , huge gathering for beautiful people. BEAUTY PAGEANTS ~ Pageants where ONLY the NEW models can participate … Pageant where the judges are the readers , our friends , ur family , and ur supporter … It will be clear and FAIR ~ Nothing will be hidden from u …

GUYS : The man hunt is on ~ All NEW MALE MODELS of Malaysia

This will be the first magazine who only accept NEW faces … and our success will be based on how many supporters will there be , supporting all the MALAYSIAN models … we are betting on hopes , dreams , and chances … so help us pass the message around … help urself up by helping us

This will be the first blog on our magazine … a year from now , i hope that this project goes well … and all you girls would be seen everywhere … smiling & shining … i love you …

This is my dream … our dream …

love always … leng yein

PS : If u r in business , u will know tat it is a SURE RUGI FIRST to start a magazine without any support from big company , and ur support is only mental support , money still goes from own pocket … magazines will only get their return after years … and to start one , it needs alot of money … the hard work n stuff is not a prob for us … the purpose of this magazine is to help out the malaysian Malaysian Models … but if we do not have enough support for it , we will call ALL of this off … so dont u try to sound like we’re EARNING ur RM500 buck , u wont get this publicity with RM500 buck out there , and we are sincere in helping … not cheat ur RM500 bucks aiyoh , dont ask for free , besides if ur dad sponsor our printing fee … come on , u go and snap some pics outside also more than RM500 lah , and u get nothing n u r not a Magazine Model . Think …

COMMENT AFTER U READ THIS , U R THE REASON WE CREATE THIS MAG SO U HAVE THE RESPONSIBLE & RIGHT TO GIVE SOME IDEAS … IF THIS MAG HITS BIG , U SHOULD SMILE WIDELY BECAUSE U R THE REASON BEHIND IT’s SUCCESS … U R PART OF THE MAGAZINE … god bless ..

If u agree on proceeding the RM500 , send ur profile to modelsmagazine@gmail.com

Photography session starting in two weeks time …
