Models
Egg typically uses the same models for each issue of the magazine, some of whom have been involved with the magazine for a very long time. Every so often, these "older generation" of models leave the magazine, and newer girls come in. Girls who leave the magazine usually go and model for another fashion magazine, or delve into something different, such as acting, singing or even setting up a clothing line, all which are popular options. Some girls who leave the magazine return to a normal life outside of the media world and are very rarely seen in the public eye again. Notable Egg models Rumi Itabashi (formally Ringo) and Kaoru Watanabe who were part of the magazine for a long time have since left the magazine and have had children.
Egg usually recruits new models for the magazine through finding girls for "Street Snaps", usually in the famous Center Gai (センター街 Sentā-gai) in Shibuya, Tokyo. This appears in the "Street Groove" section of the magazine which is mixed of random girls and Egg models. After a while of appearing in Street Snaps and small features and sections, girls may debut into more regular and full-time models for the magazine. Models for the magazine have public blogs which are followed by the fans, and mostly contains aspects of their personal life as well as things related to the magazine or other career projects.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
