New Icon Model Management (Mexico)

Hi!
I read your blog and wanted to say Im really glad that somebody has the guts to say whats really going on.
So I feel I should add my story as well:
I went to New Icon Models in Mexico. The owner is Pablo Anton.
He has some bipolar problems and changes his mind constantly. This means he will not care about contracts or agreements.
In the agency there are only 3 people working there! He, a scouter and a secretary/accountant.
Though he has some of the best models in Mexico, this doesn't mean he takes care of them or really try to get you jobs.
It seems there are microphones at the apartment cause he always knows EVERYTHING we say.
He will steal money from every job you have, and will fake YOUR signature in campaign contracts so you never know how much money they are really paying you.
You will never see a contract from jobs, not even a receipt for a visa he says he is doing for you, and that costs 7000 pesos, and you'll never get to see.
He will promise great jobs like Vogue editorials, campaigns, etc. Specially to drag you in the agency or either not letting you go.
If you are sick and miss a casting he will not only send his secretary to make sure you are sick, but also fine you for a thousand pesos AND leave you without pocket money (though the contract says he has to pay you every week).
The pocket money is so low, you'll be forced to do image in nightclubs to buy food for the weekend.
Some girls (few girls) work just fine, and don't have many problems. But the 98% of the other girls suffer the lack of professionalism.
It is a living hell! A constant stress and unhappiness.
Every person in that agency are liars!! He will lie to your mother agency and tell EVERYONE you are NOT a professional model.
You can't trust ANYBODY. Not the best relationship you should have with your agent..

Hope this will help girls that are trying to work in Mexico. Agencies I recommend: Paragon and Contempo
