(Studio City, CA) LA Direct Models, the premiere adult talent agency in Los Angeles, is proud to announce two new additions to their impressive talent roster.

The exotic and sultry Mercedez and blond sensation Nikki Benz may now be exclusively booked through the popular talent agency.

What attracted the adult film stars to join LA Direct Models particularly is the proven and increased amount of work that the agency has been able to offer their clients in both the hard and soft core realm.

Nikki Benz, a former Pleasure/JKP/TeraVision contract star is excited to be an independent performer at this point in her career and said.

“I joined LA Direct Models because they are the #1 agency and they deal with a lot of mainstream which I am interested in pursuing. I feel Derek will be able to help me with all of my goals. Now that I am a free agent I am going to do more gonzo which my fans have been requesting the entire time I have been under contract and not able to do.”

Mercedez, who has just completed her exclusive three year contract with Vivid is looking forward to working in soft core productions. Embarking on a new venture as company owner/director/producer of Heart Breaker Films, Mercedez will utilize many of her agency comrades. Her first title, “The Dark Side of Mercedez”, is slated for a Fall 2006 release and will feature dark, edgy performances unlike any you have seen her in before.

“Derek has always been very respectful and sweet and his business is very professional. He holds the cards to so many beautiful girls that are professional that the agency is a reputable one stop shop. His expanding reputation into the soft core is what I was really attracted to and will be focusing my attentions on”, Mercedez explained.

With producers such as Robert Lombard, who’s increased production for various clients including HBO and Cinemax, choosing LA Direct Models as his primary source for fresh talent, and relationships with Playboy TV, the agency’s talent pool are working more and more in mainstream projects.

Lombard, who has been casting and producing since 1998, has seen a significant rise in demand for fresh faced adult actresses and recognizable stars and calls upon LA Direct’s expansive talent list to cast many of the available characters in his projects.

“In the past few years due to the added venues of In Demand, which is seeking out event type programming which are sexually driven soft-core projects, I have seen a demand for adult film stars as principle characters.”

“Direct Models is run like a true legitimate Hollywood agency, no issues, no controversy, I really appreciate the professionalism. I can look at my upcoming casting sheet and know that 2 out of the 5 spots will be filled with his girls. Sex Games Season 2 in Cancun had 92 principle roles and LA Direct supplied at least 1/3 of the cast members. I don’t trust any other adult agency bedsides his and with that said I look forward to a long and lasting relationship.”

Last years Jenna’s American Sex Star Series had many of the agency’s talent participating for the coveted spot which agency client Brea Bennett won and was awarded with an exclusive Club Jenna contract. The new season of this show begins shooting at the end of the month and will be another significant factor in spotlighting many other LA Direct Models.
