Winners will be selected by advanced live voting <a href="http://timesleader.secondstreetapp.com/l/Weekender-Model--Man-2015" target="_blank">online at www.theweekender.com</a> and judges scores after a Q&amp;A with the final six contenders.</p><p>Judging alongside Brooks will be Angie Morgan, owner of Sapphire Salon &amp; Spa; Deborah Desiderio, from Barbizon Modeling and Acting School; Gerard Durling, from Coal Creative; Lauren Maga, from R Bar; and Melissa Hughes, who writes &#8220;Girl Talk&#8221; in Weekender.</p><p>The party starts at 7 p.m. There will be a cash bar, candy bar, and DJ.
