The ALL BODIES MATTER Fashion Show is about inclusion, representation, confidence and celebrating bodies that aren't always represented on traditional runways.

👠 Professional modeling experience is NOT required.
💕 You do NOT have to be an adult entertainer or adult model.
🏳️‍🌈 You do NOT have to be female. All genders and gender identities are welcome to apply.
📏 There are NO traditional modeling size requirements. We welcome different sizes, shapes, heights, body types and looks.

We're looking for people with personality, confidence, reliability, professionalism and enthusiasm who understand and support the ALL BODIES MATTER message.

Whether you're an experienced entertainer, content creator, first-time

Question 21

📱 DO I HAVE TO FOLLOW iHEARTBBW?

Accepted Answer

YES. THIS IS REQUIRED.

You MUST follow iHeartBBW on all social media platforms where you currently have an active account associated with your adult entertainer, model or creator persona and iHeartBBW maintains a presence.

We are NOT asking you to follow us from private/personal accounts.

If you actively use Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, etc. professionally, make sure you're connected with iHeartBBW there.

Question 22

❓ WHY IS FOLLOWING iHEARTBBW REQUIRED?

Accepted Answer

Because communication and mutual promotion are an important part of this opportunity.

Our social media is where you'll see casting updates, Lives, promotional content, challenges, announcements and information related to Exxxotica.

If you're interested in representing iHeartBBW on our stage, panel, booth or content, we also want to see that you're willing to support and engage with the project.

Question 23

⭐ DOES APPLYING GUARANTEE A SPOT & HOW ARE MODELS SELECTED?

NO. Applying does NOT guarantee participation.

Submitting your application means you're asking to be considered for available opportunities.

Selections may consider:

✨ Personality & confidence
✨ Reliability & communication
✨ Professionalism
✨ Participation
✨ Social media engagement
✨ Promotional effort
✨ Live/interview performance
✨ Runway presence
✨ Panel/conversation ability
✨ Overall fit

This is about much more than appearance or follower count.

Someone with 2,000 followers who participates, promotes and follows through may be a stronger candidate than someone with 100,000 followers who applies and disappears.

Question 24

🎥 Participating in our Lives
👑 Completing applicant challenges
📸 Creating promotional content
🏷️ Tagging iHeartBBW
💬 Responding to communication promptly
🤝 Supporting other participants
🔥 Showing us your personality!

Follower count isn't everything.

Someone with 2,000 followers who consistently participates and follows through may be a stronger candidate than someone with 100,000 followers who doesn't participate.

Promotion benefits you, iHeartBBW, the other participants and the overall event.

Question 26

👗 Wardrobe expectations
💄 Hair & makeup expectations
📸 Photography/video
🎬 Show procedures
📱 Promotional responsibilities

Final lineup and show instructions will be provided at call time.

Question 27

👗 IS WARDROBE PROVIDED & WHERE CAN I CHANGE?

Whenever possible, please arrive already dressed in your costume/outfit.

If you need to change at Exxxotica, a small changing tent will be available at the iHeartBBW booth. Expo restrooms will also be available.

Changing space at the booth will be limited, so please plan accordingly.

Question 28

🚨 WHAT DOES "CALL TIME" MEAN?

Accepted Answer

our call time is NOT your arrival window and it is NOT rehearsal time.

Call time is when we need you checked in, stage-ready and available for final instructions.

If your call time is 5:00 PM, you should be completely ready at 5:00 PM—not entering the convention center, looking for the booth, changing your outfit or starting your makeup.

Please allow enough extra time for parking, entering the convention center, navigating the expo floor, changing if necessary and locating the iHeartBBW booth.

READY at call time means:

👗 Outfit/costume ON
👠 Shoes & accessories READY
💄 Makeup COMPLETE
💇‍♀️ Hair COMPLETE
💕 Personal belongings organized
📍 Checked in at the designated location
👂 Ready to listen to final instructions
👑 READY TO HIT THE STAGE!

Accepted Answer

NO. HAIR AND MAKEUP ARE NOT INCLUDED.

Every model is expected to arrive at call time:

💄 Makeup COMPLETE
💇‍♀️ Hair COMPLETE
👗 Dressed or prepared to change immediately
👑 STAGE-READY

We plan to have a professional hair and makeup artist available earlier in the day for anyone who would like to hire them.

This service is OPTIONAL and at each model's own expense.

If you hire the artist, you are responsible for scheduling your appointment early enough to be completely finished by call time.

You may also do your own hair/makeup or make your own arrangements.

Question 30

🚨 WHAT IF I GET SELECTED AND THEN CAN'T ATTEND?

Accepted Answer

COMMUNICATE WITH US IMMEDIATELY.

Things happen. Disappearing without communication is the problem.

If you can no longer participate, please tell us as soon as possible so another applicant has an opportunity to take the spot.

We may consider:

✨ Personality
✨ Confidence
✨ Reliability
