No!! We want regular everyday photos, nothing professional. That way you don't have to spend money on your photos you send to us. We want to see you as NATURAL as possible, don't hide your body show what you have because you may not like parts of your body, but the rest of the world LOVES IT.

Video clip submission HERE. Nothing PROFESSIONAL please.

Have I got what it takes to be a BODacious model?
People often ask us this question. You need to ask yourself are you comfortable in your own skin to represent larger women and yourself in a sexy, confident and positive light? Do you feel comfortable having nude pictures taken? Take a look at any of our issues and ask yourself again, "Do I have what it takes"? If the answer is yes, then contact us.

How do I go about modeling for this magazine?
By following the instructions HERE, or on our Models Wanted section of our website.

Do you have auditions or open casting calls?
No.

When I apply, do I have to send in nude pictures?
Yes, and this is strictly for our use only and WILL NEVER be reposted. The don't have to be nude completely, but at least in panties and/or thong. Your images are absolutely safe with us.

Do I have to be completely nude for the magazine?
Yes, although we DO NOT show "pink" or "spread shots" in the magazine, you may be require to be nude at some point in time during your shoot.

Are your models just from the USA?
No, we take models from all over, for example, BODacious model Thik Chic from our 4th issue (anniversary issue) was from Canada, and we have currently shot several ladies from other countries who will be published in upcoming issues.

Do I have to spend any money to be in BODacious?
No, nothing whatsoever. We do not ask, nor charge you any money for anything.

Do I really have to have get a copy of your magazine and take a VIDEO/picture with it for my submission?
YES, unless otherwise stated by one of our staff, namely the Publisher or Julie Funch. This is to make sure you are COMPLETELY aware of what this magazine is about.

If I have applied and was rejected can I apply again?
Of course, they are many reason for this. Your look may change or you may cut a new hair style or something has changed about you. Plus, when you are on file we like to update your pictures with new fresh ones, because you never really know when you might get a call. Example: Karmyn from the 4th issue (anniversary issue) had to wait a whole year before she appeared in BODacious.

How are your models chosen?
That is from a combination of confidence from the video / photos sent in to general demeanor, decorum and representation of being a full figured woman. This is achieved by looking at your pictures, communication via email and phone conversations with you. It's not just about having a pretty face and body. You might wonder how we are able to tell this from a picture, but believe us, we can tell.

How long do I have to wait before I get a response from my submission?
It varies on when the publisher sits down and goes thru submissions that his assistant has compiled and sent to him. It may take as short as 24 hours to as long as 6 months or more. Also, if you do not follow the rules from the models wanted page, your submission will be deleted, so following instructions are so important.

Is there travel involved if you are a model?
If you are chosen to model with us, we make travel arrangements for you to come out to Los Angeles/Hollywood for your shoot. This is not a FULL TIME job, it's a one time thing unless you are invited to come out and shoot again. So this does not interfere with your regular life. We also work on scheduling a time that is favorable for you and us.

How much time is required if I become a model?
Not much really, in most cases nothing at all, unless we have an event that requires models to be available. Then we ask if you can make it, if yes than fine; if you can't that's still fine.

Do you pay your models?
We do not discuss pay until you have been chosen. But we do PAY. Payment shall be disbursed when you have been PUBLISHED in BODacious Magazine and NOT BEFORE, unless stated otherwise, this is within 30 days of publication of your photos.

Do you cover travel expenses?
Yes, we cover travel and accommodations to and from Hollywood, CA. USA.

Can I bring  my significant other?
They can come with you at your own expense, but will not be allowed on set, unless stated otherwise exclusively by the Publisher.

What is a photo shoot like?
It's FUN and that's the truth. We like to create a fun, safe and professional environment. We have had no complaints in 5 years and we'd like to keep it that way.

Who is on set of a shoot?
For a typical shoot we have a makeup (female) and hair (female or male) person, our photographer (male), the Publisher, the Editor and sometimes a former BODacious model for support.

Who runs your MySpace page and website?
That is a cross between the Publisher, Zik and his personal assistant Julie Funch. No other person does this. So if you are communicating thru MySpace you are in direct contact with them. See our page here: www.myspace.com/thewizardofbod

Can I ask you to look at my MySpace photos and tell me if I have what it takes?
We generally do not look at MySpace photos as they are usually headshots and we do not go by headshots. We need to see your body and MySpace photos do not allow nudity, so if you ask that question do not be offended if you do not get a response. Also, please do not send a headshot and ask if we would like to see the rest as we WILL NOT respond to that question.
