No profiles are published yet
The grid only ever shows profiles a person has read and approved, and it never pads itself with people who do not exist, so it is empty rather than filled with stock faces. Here is the shape of a card instead: the fields every profile publishes, and the nine categories they publish them under. Search and filtering work now, and the first approved profile appears here the moment it passes review.

Where a profile can list
A model can list in several at once, and a brand can filter on several at once.
What brands book it for
Trade-show booths, conference registration desks, product sampling, hospitality suites, launch parties.
The buyer here is usually an in-house marketing manager, a photographer or a production coordinator with a brief and a date, not a casting director. That is why the filters are city, availability and physical criteria rather than credits and union status.
Hire a model →What your portfolio needs
Business and business-casual wardrobe, a current full-length, and any languages you speak listed in the bio.
Quantity is not the point. A booker opens a profile, decides in about fifteen seconds whether you fit the brief, and then checks whether your rate and your availability make the shoot possible. Everything in the profile should serve one of those two questions.
Building the portfolio →Trade show model agency
Do you need a hostess agency for trade shows?
For a national booth program, often yes. A trade show model agency or event staffing company wins the exhibitor's contract, staffs every show on the tour, bills the brand by the hour and pays the hostess less than it bills. For a single show, a regional conference or a hospitality suite, the exhibitor's marketing manager usually just needs a reliable, presentable person in that city on those dates, and books whoever answers first.
The US convention calendar decides when this work exists. Las Vegas carries the biggest shows of the year (CES in January, NAB Show in April, SEMA in November), and Orlando, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles fill the gaps with medical, food, beauty and tech events. Exhibitors start booking booth staff weeks out and panic-book in the last few days when someone cancels. A profile that shows your city, the dates you are free, the languages you speak and a current full-length photo is exactly what that last-minute search filters on, and the fee reaches you with no agency margin taken out.

Rates in this category
We do not publish a rate table
Every site that prints one is either quoting a survey it will not name or making the number up, and a stale figure does more damage than no figure: it becomes the ceiling a brand negotiates down from. On MaxGirls the rate is whatever the model publishes on their own profile, visible before anyone makes contact, and we never take a share of it.
What actually moves the number is the same in every category: the usage license, the length of the day, the market, and whether exclusivity is being asked for. Those are worth understanding before you set your own range.
