| 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!
