Judging a fashion show can be fun, bring new people into your life who you would have not had any access too, and you now are in a position of higher status
There are many ways to go about this.
First you should start by attending “runway” shows in your city. This will give you an idea of how they are run, the people there, and how you can find similar shows
One of the first fashion shows, I approached a girl about 6’2, standing by herself.
I asked if she was in the show
“No my friend is in this one”
“Oh cool” I said
After I took them out and showed them the places I like to go
These girls were more runway style from New York
They weren’t going to do Swimsuit USA style shows
They were tall but not the best looking as the focus is supposed to be on the clothes
They even have shows now where they put masks on their faces so it doesn’t even matter how the girls look
After a few more shows of this, I realized I could attend different ones that were smaller and low key
Again, they #1 way to build a social circle is by going to small venues
I found this show on ig offering a Judge package. You pay $500, get table service with the other judges, and it goes to charity which means you can write it all off
So this began my social circle I still have today. The first guy I went up to I had talked on IG with. He immediately invited me to his section. I stayed a bit until I said I needed to go to the judges section
To be honest, its not a big deal at all to be a judge
There are usually quite a few
You just are offering value to the event that is simply it
Later that night after being on stage with the models, the same guy and another invite me to “brunch” at 3:30
From my experience I knew this meant no food and drinking mostly
The first guy I met happened to be extremely connected and introduced me to 50 people that day
He was a ex director of a huge talent company before in LA
He’s also part of the “Fickle 500”, the 500 people who go out the most
The next time I judged a fashion show, I had no idea I would be judging
They guy running the event was the same one from the first fashion show
He immediately sits me down next to him on stage and asks if I want to Judge
None of my friends did
I went with my new group of photographers who had 600k followers between them who were talking to girls about events that weekend
The ex director was on stage talking with all the girls
I was introduced to all of them that night, not to mention their friends I met that night and the meet up two days before
This ex director was my “guy girl” and I have brought him up on other posts and Twitter
He knew all of the girls
He blasts them on ig constantly and goes out 3-4 days a week
He says and does some of the wildest shit
He is a walking scene so I don’t have to cause one
He introduces girls to me and sometimes I even get to introduce girls to him too
I got into this a bit on my last paid post
But this one dude cured all my problems
He knew the events to go to, the venues, the women, the table buyers, the coke dealers, the hosts, promtoers, bouncers, owners, and bartenders
We never wait in line
We get tons of drinks free all the time
And it always feels like there are girls lining up to come say hi who he quickly introduces to me
I copied a ot of his mannerisms and hes 20 years older so sometimes the girls would sleep with him but rarely. He knew this so he kept send girl after girl my way
Without him, I would have never met my current girlfriend and to this day I don’t go out unless he is there
With him around we have a core of 15 people amassing over 1 million followers in a very non ig city
This connects us with every other major city
We all know people from all over the world
The model scene is small because people think its weird and creepy
Meanwhile they can’t even get in to the circle, the event, and sit there drinking their bucket O Beers
To me being average is harder than doing anything else I wrote about above
You sit there, get bored and drunk for hours
Doing what I did was easier, faster, and free
