Flattered!

I am so flattered that so many other modeling and talent agencies in this area and surrounding areas who pay such close attention to our blog and our website. 

They are seeing that we have been blessed with not only such amazing and talented models and actors but have made lasting connections and friendships with clients and national and international agencies who can help their career continue to grow. 

We are so proud of our incredible group of models, actors, singers, and dancers and we LOVE their supportive parents and families.

We have been blessed and are so thankful. 

So, we consider their actions as complete flattery when others want to do exactly what we are doing. We wish them the very best of luck! 

Thank you to our fabulous staff and our incredible circle of supportive agents and castings directors who believe in what we are doing here in Val-Vegas!! And to those who have "agencies" and visit NYC agents and mention us, we thank you!
