Portland's Singing Christmas Tree
By FrankSara April 25, 2013
A few professionals and a ton of dedicated volunteers put on an amazing (and huge!) show every year! What a great way to start the Christmas season. Special guests often include local groups like the Jefferson Dancers. The kids' choir is always cute too. The Tree has been a Portland tradition for over 50 years now, and a family tradition for us for the last 6. A must see! Even better, you can join too! ...read more

Vault Model & Artist Management
Fit ModelingOur fit modeling division caters to fashion industry leaders like Nike, Adidas, Colombia, and Fred Meyers among many others. Fit modeling is an aspect of the modeling industry most people are not familiar with.When people think of "modeling" they think of fashion shows and photo-shoots but this is a special kind of modeling. Fit models get the rare opportunity to work closely with designers, merchandisers, and buyers. This job requires models to try on sample clothing so the technical design staff can determine if there are garment imperfections or if style changes are needed before it is mass-produced and distributed to stores. Listed below are the specific fit modeling categories and size measurements required by various companies.A fit model�s schedule will vary depending on their particular measurements; there could be the opportunity to work part-time on a daily basis or only 1 to 3 hours per week. Fit rates for adults range from $85-$187.50 per hour and children range $82-$130 per hour. Please keep in mind that in some cases travel is required.Unlike the unpredictable world of print modeling and acting, fit modeling is a great way to work steadily in this business. We encourage you to send in your measurements along with your submissions. If you are only interested in fit modeling, please forward your measurements along with your availability and contact information tomichelle@marladell.com.How To MeasureDirections on How to Measure ChildrenDirections on How to Measure AdultsHow to Submit1.Enclose two to three 4x6 snapshots, both close-up and body. Please put your name, address, phone number and all measurements on the back of each photo. Please include your e-mail address so that we may contact you to set up an interview if we are interested in representing you or your child. Do not invest in professional pictures, snapshots are sufficient.2.Please include a cover letter or a letter of introduction.3.Please provide a self-addressed stamped envelope so we can send your photos back to you. Please do not submit cd's as pictures as we do not have time to review electronic files.4.Please complete theFit Modeling Submission Form.Adults DivisionOur adult division boasts an exclusive group of talented actors and models that have booked work in major motion pictures, independent films, regional and national commercials, industrials, voice over, and commercial print.We look for committed and professional individuals with training and experience. We also consider new talent — people with a unique look, a great attitude, and a passion for this business! For our adult division, we consider talent ages 18 and up.Children DivisionOur kids rock! You�ve seen them on television, in major motion pictures, on Broadway, and in commercials too numerous to mention. You�ve seen them in thousands of print advertisements and heard them in radio spots. From the big screen to the stage, from magazines to radio... there�s not much this elite division hasn�t conquered-they are the best of the best!To be a part of this superstar crew, your child must possess the attitude, the passion, and the drive it takes to make it in this business. This will also require a special parent who has the willingness and the flexibility to make auditions and bookings on a moment�s notice. This can be critical to your child�s success.Real FamiliesWe represent families of various multi-cultural looks who personify an all American lifestyle. Our real families often find themselves booked on national commercials and print campaigns.We represent families who personify the All-American style as well as those with a multi-cultural look... we encourage families of every ethnic diversity to submit to our agency!While we welcome your immediate family, we would love to see (if possible) at least two or three generations.The key to this division is availability. For families who have a great attitude, for those who understand how special the process can be and who have the flexibility to make the auditions, this can be a unique and advantageous opportunity to share!Tradeshows and Conventions DivisionOur tradeshow and convention division is devoted to the exclusive purpose of booking talent as hosts/hostesses and presenters at various tradeshows and conventions throughout the Bay Area. This is an excellent opportunity for enthusiastic men and women with backgrounds in everything ranging from marketing, promotion or public relations work to voice over, improvisation, acting, and modeling experiences.We will consider corporate-types models and non-models alike as long as you carry yourself with professional poise, a friendly demeanor, and the unique ability to represent a diverse range of client products and services. Unlike our print and commercial models that possess an almost supernatural photographic quality, convention representatives tend to be more "approachable." Convention models should be able to think quickly on their feet. While we can never expect you to be 100% familiar with the products you represent, you must be able to field questions and improvise when necessary without compromising the client or product. Clients will hire you to boost public awareness, elevate product interest, and to offer a friendly face to the public.How to Submit1.E-mail two to three snapshots, both close-up and body. Please put your child's name, address, phone number and all measurements on the back of each photo. Please include your email address so that we may contact you to set up an interview if we are interested in representing you or your child. Do not invest in professional pictures, snapshots are sufficient.2.Measurements are extremely important.

We host these events at local hot spots like night clubs, yearly fairs, theme events, company parties, birthday parties and even naked bike rides at midnight! (No! I'm not joking. Keep Portland Weird!) Most of my work as a professional body/face painter is seen during Scream At The Beach!
