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:
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“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)
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
