Modeling agencies in Cancun and Playa

There are quite a few modeling agencies in Cancun and Playa del Carmen and more keep popping up, though usually the new ones do not last for very long. This should be a warning to models working with non-established agencies as they may disappear as quickly as they appeared. Should you have an issue with any agency not paying or not respecting laws concerning breaks and meals, please report it to the Mexican modeling association.

LIV Catwalk – Second edition

Saturday. I woke up at 8:30 and hurried to get dressed since I was supposed to meet with someone. When we finished our business together I had some caffeine and headed off to the gym.

The training went well. For the first time in 3 years I did deadlifts again. I bought some lifting hooks since my left hand is still messed up but the metal thingy kept bending. In the end, actually didn’t feel like I was exhorting myself a lot. I did more exercises than I usually did and felt like I could’ve on but I figured it’s not much use to go overboard either since I won’t get much rest tonight due to the catwalk I’m scheduled to do with Vicino models at LIV in Playa del Carmen.

In the afternoon I went to get a haircut. Afterwards I tried a new Brazilian restaurant that opened nearby which serves unlimited cuts of meat. Of course I stuffed myself to the point of exploding.

By 10 pm I was off to LIV. My former neighbor Ernesto also joined along. Since the check engine light turned on in my car we used his instead. The catwalk was scheduled at 1 but as usual things got delayed and we didn’t go out until 2:20 am. It was a lot of fun. It seemed there were either more women than men at the club or they just make a lot more noise. It’s a nice feeling having the whole club screaming for you, I could get used to it 🙂

We went out three times and the final round I considered doing a back flip but then again without shoes on a wooden floor in a very small space the risk of something going wrong it a bit higher than usual and if  something does go wrong then the whole club bears witness so I figured I’ll get some practice jumps in next time while the club is still empty. It fills up really late. There wasn’t a soul when we arrived at 11:30 and by 2 it was quite full.

After finishing the catwalk I was so tired everything appeared blurry and since I still had to drive an hour to get back I figured the after party would be for the next time as well.
