ModelsHotel.com offers a place for fashion models to mingle, exchange agency and casting information, and find like-minded people. To qualify for membership, applicants must supply a photograph, and must be listed on the books of a reputable modeling agency such as Ford. The site's most active feature is its forum, where members like soap opera actress and part-time model Leven Rambin connect to share details of parties or exchange tips on the latest casting calls. Rambin is also a member of Facebook, but says she prefers this smaller, more targeted community.
