World Modeling On Tuesday, Jan 25, 2005

I fought my way through 70 degree temperatures and overcast skies late Tuesday morning to Jim South's office on Van Nuys Blvd.

Jim Junior had four girls sitting around waiting for their driver (to take them to auditions?). I snapped these photos:

Jim Sr and a friend are carrying boxes of soda and water upstairs from a Costco dropoff. Junior's back is hurt so he can't carry.

Junior says business is good. Senior says business is bad this time of year. There aren't many shoots in December and January and all the managers out there like LADirectModels.com have carved away much of World Modeling's business.

Then I stepped next door into Alexander DeVoe's office. Alexander. Alexander. Joachim Kessef. Dulce Dulce

Joachim is from Paris. He's been in porn for eleven years. He flies to Los Angeles to work several times a year. He's returning to France February 1st.

Joachim directs for New Sensations.

Alexander DeVoe started in porn in Hawaii in 1997. He moved to Los Angeles in 1999.

Blonde Brit Alisha Rhodes sits on the couch having her make-up done. She's been in porn over four years.

Alexander's wife walks in. I ask her if she is talent. Not in porn. She does mainstream modeling as well as assist Alex (from behind the scenes) with his porn shooting.
