**PiMN Magazine Cover Model Qualifications: The Anastasia Standard of Excellence**

Aspiring models seeking to grace the cover of PiMN Magazine must embody the Anastasia Standard – a rigorous criteria evaluating professionalism, skill, and dedication.

This esteemed benchmark separates exceptional models from promising ones, ensuring our cover models consistently dazzle readers with sophistication and elegance.

Anastasia passed up 40 other models in her skills and talents. It's by no means a pedestal but rather....an EARNED NAMED STANDARD.

The director does not nor will pedistalize models. They either earned it or they didn't. There is no favoritism as that can play borderline to descriminating to other models.

**Cover Model Qualifications and Rewards**
To qualify as a PiMN Magazine cover model, candidates must maintain a weekly score of 100 across all ten areas for at least FOUR  consecutive weeks to qualify. 

That takes some models time to learn and maintaining such standards. It won't happen over night. Some models take months to be able to learn Pimn methods well enough. 

Anastasia has been connected to Pimn for two years with a year + training and is considered applying many pro level response and motivation level skills.

Yet, is still just starting her 2nd phase of training and has passed basic level into beginner. She has earned her way onto the cover of first issue. Even as a basic level model. That is what's possible in PIMN when you put forth real effort and passion. 

Prior industry experience can be a plus for any new models yet, not always. As Pimn is a completely separate modeling industry of its own form to the outside, professional fashion, in-person - modeling industry. DO NOT COMPARE PIMN TO THE FASHION INDUSTRY. WE ARE NOT THEM. WE HAVE SIMILARITIES. BUT ALSO DIFFERENCES. In some ways, more strict. In other ways, less strict. 

We are in some ways less strict on look such as weight or height yet, we are more strict in areas related to virtual images, variety of modeling skills and communication etiquette and public image. 

More on that in an upcoming blog about PIMN models vs other fashion industry models and their differences of public image and public communications.
