*Selected for recent exclusive playboy casting in NYC-met and shot with casting director Sam Rhima*
Ambition is my middle name. I strive to be the woman who represents one of the many who represent the beauty and essense of the Latina. Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz, Vida Guerra- the list goes on; I don't have to be 5'9 and hide my genetically inherited curves to make it. I am real; I aim to become my own inspiration through the work of each and every beautiful woman (and their photographers) who inspires me in my amateur stage of modeling. The term "amateur" is not a discouragement, but even more of a motivation. Full-time student and an average lower-middle class American citizen who breaks her back every single day to support herself and continue embarking on a journey of greatness.
This is not my only work; I started with fashion/commercial shoots left and right, and reality hit that it's a slim to zero chance I'll be a Ford, IMG or Wilhelmina model. Not to degenerate any of those prestigious companies or their models- every woman is beautiful in her own way. I just don't fit in that genre.
Given that I am not inexperienced (since this profile has only been open a short time), please do not contact me asking for TF work UNLESS I have worked with you before and am already accustomed to your style and preferences. Unless you do work specific to what I'm adding to my portfolio, or are pretty deep into the photo industry within my genre, it's just not conducive to my objectives. I'm an extremely hard working individual who pays for a very expensive top-tier university, rent and everything else without any help from parents like most 18-20-year-olds. Please do not assume I just do this on my free time. Do I enjoy it? Yes. I love creating and engaging in art. I'm an amateur photographer, myself (mostly landscaping and street photography- feel free to contact me for any needed work). But I also work 7 days a week and make specific time for photographers who are SERIOUS. Any cancellations in less than 24 hours with exceptions of emergency, I likely won't reschedule. Not to be offensive, just real.
Sincerely,
Lily Mendez

My intrinsically beautiful mother, who has made me the woman I am today: through love, encouragement, support (and her genetics!)
Ana Cecilia- you've helped me to believe in myself and my beauty, something no one has ever accomplished in my short life.
