First off you might be wondering, “What is a Darkfaery Girl?”.

Simply put, they are spokesmodels for Darkfaery Subculture Magazine. Their goal is to get the word out about DFSM and let everyone know about this local almost underground magazine. I say almost just because once you step into our world it’s not so underground. It’s actually a pretty prominent magazine in the goth/alternative scene locally, and what’s best is we are just getting bigger.

So now you know what a DFG is, but what do they do?

Well DFG’s are entitled to make it to events to do the promotions and help out at the booths. Promotions basically mean handing out flyers, going on stage and even on camera to promote the magazine. While handing out flyers I would like for you to talk about the flyer and/or talk to them about the magazine. I know you can’t talk to everyone, but at least some of the people would be nice. Helping at the booth can include watching the booth, helping setting it up, and/or tearing it down.

Darkfaery Girl Events

Most events are local Oklahoma Events, here in the OKC area, but we also have a lot in the Tulsa area as well. We want all girls to try to attend every event possible, but we are also understanding about family and financial obligations. Say your a Tulsa girl and you can’t make it to the OKC area event because you just don’t have the finances….Just let us know and we will be understanding. But please make it to every event you can. Missing multiple events can result in suspension or even asked to leave the DFG’s. This is especially true when you do not let us know why you could not make it.

Most events are conventions and concerts. Conventions are usually SciFi and/or Horror related; even some Steampunk conventions. Concerts are usually rock, dance, techno, goth, and many other types of music.

Perks to being a DFG.

The first big perk is getting to attend the events. We try to have at least one event each month, but some months there could be more or even none. We need 3 to 4 girls to attend these events and which girls will be determined on a first come first serve basis. As for the cost of these events, we strive to get the DFG’s in at a cheaper rate or even sometimes free. This, however, is not always the case and should not be expected at every event as some events just won’t allow it. But for me, I love the excuse to go to the events. I am the type that I will sometimes miss events I really want to go to just because I choose not to mess with it. But when I have the excuse of, “The DFG’s need me” it get’s me motivated to go when most likely I wouldn’t have.

As I have mentioned before, there are also booths at most events. As a DFG you are allowed to sale items that you have that you do not want anymore or have made at the booth. Just be sure to pay for some of the cost of the booth, those costs can get rather expensive at times. Also please be sure to only sale new and lightly used items. The booth is not to be looked at as a garage sale.

In addition, there are photo opportunities. You will have many pictures taken of you at these events and when possible we will set up photo shoots for you.These photos will become the sole property of the magazine and can only be used in other publications with the permission of Duvy (editor and owner of the magazine). You can, however, use these pics how you choose on social media sites of your choosing.

Are you a writer? You can also submit any of your work to Duvy to be published in the magazine. This for me is another one of my favorite perks. I have been writing for the magazine for quite some time and love having this creative outlet. It gives me great pride to open up the magazine I promote and see a story or article written by me. Same rules apply to these written works as well. Once published in the magazine they cannot be used in any other publications without permission. Deadline for content to be sent in is the 27th of every month.

Now with all the talk of permissions you might be freaking out, but Duvy is a very easy going person and will most likely give that permission with no problem. I, myself, have had an article or two published in another magazine that was originally published in DFSM. You will come to find out that Duvy and even I are not too hard to work with. We do not deal in drama and avoid it at all costs.

Now this is the best perk of all for me: When you become a DFG and do your part you become part of the DFSM family. We stick together and help each other out. We even get together and do birthday parties and such. We are no strangers to having a good time and love to just relax and hang out. It is so great to have this group of friends that you can truly call family as well.

Other perks include, your own Darkfaery-Girls.com email address and your own page on Darkfaery-girls.com.

Regulations to be a DFG.

*You must be 18 or over

*You must live in Oklahoma (some exceptions).

*You have to be willing to show up to most events for the promotion of DFSM. This does not mean just a few! You have to be reliable!

*You have to be yourself! This is very important. We want you to have fun and be comfortable in who you are. We take all shapes in sizes of women. Tattoos are a plus! Also make sure you really have a love for this lifestyle!

Okay so if all that sounds good to you then we will need you to add us as friends on Facebook and send us a message with the subject being “Application” or send this information to TristaLou@Darkfaery-Girls.com. In the application you will need to include…….

*2 or more pics for us to view. If you are chosen, one of these pics will be posted into the Darkfaery Girls album. No pics of complete nudity! Semi nude is fine as long as it’s done with class and not exposing all of your goods. Also, the pics need to be somewhat professional quality. No normal “myspace” pics.

*Your name and age

*Darkfaery Girl Name you have chosen to use (you can use your real name if you want)

*A short bio of yourself. This will be posted on the site as well, so make sure this is something you want others to know about you.

*Why you want to be a Darkfaery Girl

An application will also need to be filled out at your first meeting and must be filled out before your first event.

Now for the Rules…..

There really aren’t many rules and most are rules that should be obvious when you are representing a business.

When at events please dress appropriately. If it is a themed event it would be great if you dress in that theme. But really we are not to picky in this area, just do your best to match that theme and you will do fine. If it’s not themed we just ask that you don’t look a mess or God forbid dressed like a preppy.

Most events are over 21 events and there will be a lot of drinking and partying. You are allowed to have fun, but please do it in moderation. We don’t need girls that get too drunk to be of any use or help. It also makes the DFG’s look bad, so just don’t do it. Drugs are not tolerated. I don’t want the DFG’s associated with drugs at all.

There are some events that we attend that are all age’s and even family friendly. We ask that you be mindful of the kids and be respectful.

When you become a DFG I will add you to the DFG Facebook group. You must check this often!! I can not stress this enough. This is our lifeline to the DFG’s.
