Project Curve Appeal is in the process of building an elite organization of full-figured and phenomenal FOCA teams around the country in EVERY CITY to spread the Curve Appeal Movement and represent the different types of women with Curve Appeal in the different regions when they unite at the national conventions.
One of the main misconceptions about Project Curve Appeal is that we are a "Plus Model Agency". This could not be further from the truth. We are not an agency. We are a national movement and we do have our own models called FOCA (Faces of Curve Appeal). FOCA are the spokesmodels / brand ambassadors of the movement. They are the faces that you see all over the website and on the promotional materials. Becoming a FOCA is like being apart of an elite sisterhood united through Curve Appeal. More important than a street team, the faces are the "front line" to the community and the examples of how women with Curve Appeal should carry themselves. FOCA are curvy, sexy, classy, independent, sophisticated, healthy thick women that embrace their curves. FOCA Models are clean and neat in appearance, very educated and well spoken. FOCA models are single women with careers, college students, housewives, mothers, sorors, entrepreneurs, business women, models, entertainers & so much more. It takes a special kind of woman to be a Face of Curve Appeal. If you feel you have what it takes to be a National FOCA and you have Curve Appeal, please continue below.
The Alternatives
Project Curve Appeal is now offering several additional opportunities to be involved in the movement. If you do not feel you meet all the qualifications to become a FOCA model but you still want to be involved with the movement is some way, please contact us and request more information about the alternate opportunities, affiliations, partnerships, membership ETC Scroll over the "Partnership opportunities" menu button for details or click here to see what other positions we have open.
HOW TO BECOME START A FOCA (FACE OF CURVE APPEAL) TEAM IN YOUR AREA?
The duties of a National FOCA Model Liaison include: Recruiting new potential FOCA in your area. Holding FOCA meetings and team building events. Gathering opinions, comments, concerns and questions to submit to management. Partner with local plus-retailers, boutiques and industry professionals to establish Project Curve Appeal in your area.
* All FOCA must attend the ModelME Experience/FOCA Model Training camp at their own expense before officially becoming a National Face of Curve Appeal. Once you have been pre-screened, approved and you have registered for ModelME, you will be able to move forward as the "Pending Liaison" in your area. Once you have attended ModelMe, your status will change to official FOCA Liaison in your area.
* Each team will have a lead model liaison, an assistant liaison and up to 13 additional faces totaling 15 per major city.
* Once your team is assembled and everyone has been trained at the ModelMe Experience, your team will hold fundraisers to raise money for you all to attend the mandatory Annual National Curve Appeal Convention in Las Vegas, NV every Fall. You will also participate in events, fashion shows, host events etc in your area to build the the Curve Appeal brand.
Your ModelMe Experience
As you may already know, all approved FOCA & FOPC are required to cover their own FOCA training that includes their first photo shoot. The concept behind the ModelMe Experience is to give you all the basic tools you need to be the best spokes model that you can be. All models selected prior to October 1, 2010 must attend the October 2, 2010 ModelME training taking place at the Curve Appeal Beauty, Fashion & Health Convention in Las Vegas, NV. Registration is $199 for the photoshoot and unlimited workshops. FOCA finalists are not limited to the classes they can take on both days as long as they participate in at least three. Once you have registered for ModelMe and you become a confirmed finalist, we encourage you and the other finalists in your city to join together to participate in fund raisers to raise money for your plane ticket and hotel. A group block has been reserved at the Riviera Hotel & Casino on the strip. Rooms are located in the updated Monaco tower at a very affordable $69 per night.
