Some of the models who were about to do their interview (Recognize anyone you know?).

Club Denim co-owner/event co-sponsor Morrell Jones was bombarded by calls all day from aspiring ladies who wanted to know if it was too late for them to come down to the store and enter. Some even thought the store was an actual club and thought the event was held at Denim World. By days end, close to 200 ladies called, but only 88 ladies were interviewed.
There was plenty of smiles and handshakes with Blassingame and the ladies.

Many of the ladies who were being interviewed had an array of reality show moments from one sista after being asked, "How long you been shooting?" responded, "shooting? Shooting what?", to one sista using her interview as a pshychiatrist visit, to them asking what was Marcus' name? to one sista after being asked, 'What do you like about Black Men?" and saying, "Oh I love me some black men, real dark and sexy." , but the question was referring to the magazine. One sista evne said that she was ready for party AFTER the After Party at Society. CLASSIC.
