Texas Bikini Team scores at Playboy's Playmate Search

 

The TEXAS BIKINI TEAM competition is different than most other bikini contests because we offer the winners a chance to work as "professional models" for an entire year; instead of just winning prizes and going home! Our members get the opportunity to travel, make money and meet people, all year long! As a matter of fact, members of our teams have not only had the opportunity to be featured in magazines (like American Rodder, Audio Sound & Security, National Enquirer, Playboy, Sport, Sports Illustrated, Sport Truck, USA Today, etc.) & on television (like "Good Morning America", "Bikini Open", "E", "ESPN2", "eXTRA", "Hard Copy", "Montel Williams", "Wheel of Fortune", etc.) but have even met celebrities during TBT travels (like Colby from Survivor, Sean Connery, Dan Akroyd , David Copperfield, the NYC Firefighters rescued us from elevator, Drew Pearson, Little Romeo, Steve from Jerry Springer, Vern Troyer -"Minnie Me")!  

      

The TEXAS BIKINI TEAM is exciting because, every year, we have fresh talent! That's right, everyone (new talent & alumni) has to try out, in order to gain a spot on the new team!

Upon winning a spot on the TEXAS BIKINI TEAM, you'll get to travel Texas, the U.S., Canada & the Caribbean making appearances as a promotional model! So, being a promotional model for the TEXAS BIKINI TEAM requires you to meet and greet the public through autograph signings and photo opportunities, making live radio & television spots to promote various events, performing fashion shows, riding in parades, participating in spring break festivities, Nascar races, etc.

Most of the time, the TEXAS BIKINI TEAM works as "feature attractions" or "attention-grabbers"! So, with a busy TEXAS BIKINI TEAM appearance schedule, heavy marketing before we arrive to an event and a variety of merchandise you can be featured on, you are able to become an instant celebrity!

A benefit of working for the TEXAS BIKINI TEAM is that we normally work weekend-style jobs. This permits those of you who go to school or work other jobs and to make good money in a short time while working for the team!  Our auto show tour season is January & February, with groups of 4 TBT members traveling to an auto show.  We also allow you to pick & choose the shows you want to work.  If you don't want to work, that's okay too. When working for the TBT you get paid well.  The great thing about working our busy season is that you get paid within 2 weeks of each job!

JUDGING

Weekly judging at nightclubs:

Judging for weekly nightclub contests is strictly swimsuit competition. Judging is at the discretion of each club. However, we do make recommendations and send score sheets for the swimsuit portion. These score sheets have these categories of judging which include: BEAUTY (face), FIGURE (body) & CHARISMA (audience applause) (10 being the highest/best score and 1 the lowest). We encourage you to bring friends and family to cheer you on, as it will help increase the charisma you show!

Judging at Regional FINALS:

The Regional FINALS Competition will include several areas of competition.  Judging in the following areas:

  • Swimsuit (40%)- Swimsuit will be judged in front of an audience, with a panel of judges and will entail a pageant/model-style walk, both individually and with a group. When you compete individually, you may be asked a question. When you compete in the group, the group may be asked to do a series of turns.
  • Photo (60%)- Photography will be judged by one or more judges. This phase of competition will be for each contestant to show her ease in posing. Each contestant should have at least 6 poses ready and be ready to take direction from a photographer.  EACH CONTESTANT WILL RECEIVE 1 FREE 8x10 PHOTO from the photo competititon.*
  • Audience applause (0%) - Is not designated in the judging criteria.  However, the crowd usually seems to cheer for those with charisma.
