TALENT AGENCY FOR THE TATTOOED

TALENT AGENCY FOR THE TATTOOED

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Ever wonder where ad agencies find all those pierced trendoids who appear in TV commercials for the Gap? A lot of them come from a Los Angeles-based talent agency that specializes in booking freaks and geeks. It's called the Dragon Talent agency and it currently represents around 250 anti-Hollywood types ranging from skater dudes to drag queens. Agency co-founder Robin Harrison admits her job was originally a drag, as most of her clients were female impersonators. But after she started getting requests for other offbeat types, the agency started including all sorts of pierced, tattooed and rainbow-haired talent. Harrison says times are good for odd-looking actors and models and TV shows like "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" are among the places booking actors from her agency.
