LOS ANGELES, Calif.—LAX Models has become a member of LATATA, the adult industry's trade organization for licensed agents. In a prepared statement issued Monday, the organization stated, "One of LATATA's many goals is to diminish the myriad of unlicensed and illegally operating talent agencies within the adult entertainment industry; to that end, the addition of LAX Models is also an endorsement that the agency is properly licensed by the state of California to conduct business as a talent agency/agent.
"LATATA is very pleased to welcome to the trade association its newest member, LAX Models," the statement continued. "We welcome Scott Reedy and his agency; the association is strengthened further by the addition of agency members such as Scott's. The number of member agencies comprising the association is now eight and forms a strong majority of licensed agents in the adult industry."
Reedy commented, "LAX Models is pleased to join LATATA. The industry is evolving, and the agents must evolve with it. LATATA offers the opportunity to collectively monitor, evaluate, and take action where needed. Having been on the other side of the agency table as a performer, producer and studio owner, I believe LATATA is a valued asset to this business.'"
LAX Models, he added, aims to provide the safest working environments possible, with legitimate production companies, so represented talent, and the talent they work with, and have a productive, fruitful, and enjoyable experience while in the adult entertainment industry.
The LATATA statement reiterated the group's commitment to the advancement of licensed talent agencies and the interest of their actor clients, through advocacy, education and the promotion of ethical trade practices. Current LATATA members include LA Direct Models, Adult Talent Managers, Spiegler Girls, Foxxx Modeling, Matrix Models, OC Modeling, Mötley Mödels, and now, LAX Models.
