All models will be required to attend a fitting on February 12, 2011 and a rehearsal in February. Information regarding rehearsal times will be provided at a later date. We will have four shows. Ticket prices for all shows will be appoximately $30-$50 and will include refreshments.

HOW ARE MODELS SELECTED?

Every girl must attend the Model Call on Saturday November 6th, 2010 to be considered. American Girl provides us with all of the clothing for the show and specific measurements for each outfit. Your daughter will be selected based on measurement primarily. Girls may not select the outfit they model. We will select the girls who best fit the outfits. PLEASE let your daughter know that this is NOT A PAGEANT… we are not selecting on talent or looks…ONLY SIZE & in some cases, likeness to the dolls according to each outfit we have in the show. Please keep in mind that this event is a fundraiser for the Junior League of the Lehigh Valley (JLLV). With your help, the JLLV will help the Lehigh Valley community through its children’s projects. 

Size 6x and smaller will model American Girl “Bitty Baby” clothing (not American Girl "Doll" clothing). 

                                                                                                            WHEN WILL MODELS BE SELECTED?

Models will be selected after the audition. We do our best to select the girls and notify parents within one week.

IF YOUR DAUGHTER IS SELECTED:

• She is required to attend a fitting/photo shoot on February 12th with Patrice Mitchell Photography at JLLV Headquarters. At the fitting, the models will try on their outfit and be photographed with the matching doll. If she cannot attend the fitting, please contact us. There will be a limited number of make-up slots available at the rehearsals.
• She is required to attend a rehearsal in February at the JLLV Headquarters. Rehearsal date will be based on show assignment and a schedule will be available at a later date.
