Every fall, the Memphis Flyer does a local fall fashion issue, and they’re looking for people to model clothes. They’ll have an open casting call tomorrow night at the Peabody rooftop party. Get there early, because the casting call will happen from 6 to 7 PM. More info about the casting call here; note that two of the three women in the title photo are wearing tube top dresses. Tube tops are very fashionable this year!
