you could always try a comic convention/ren fest type thing. Plenty of folks there that love to play dress up, and love having their picture taken.

MM is only an option if you already have some portraits with releases in your portfolio to upload. And that is assuming they approve your account.

rab3rd, that's exactly what I am running into... a chicken or egg issue. I don't mind going through MM, but in order to do that I need some portraits for which I need some models!

I've never paid for a model or MUA on MM, it has always been for creative fun and learning for everyone.
