This Weeks Featured Model: Myaann Roland
This weeks featured model is Rocky Point resident Myaann Roland. Originally from L.A by way of Texas, Myaann came to Rocky Point several years ago on vacation, and just never left. Who can blame her? Beaches, sunshine, clubs, great people. Myaann’s living the dream in Puerto Penasco. When not working for the Los Palomas resort, Myaann is Rocky Point’s favorite blogger and club promoter. Her two latest clients are the Reef Beach Club (brought to you by Rocky Point’s Denise Brown) and The Blue Buddha. Both are great additions to the Rocky Point scene. Don’t forget to show up at our Calendar signing party at Chango’s on June 6th, and get Myaann to sign a calendar for you!
This Weeks Featured Model : Somer Pagliaro
This weeks featured model is Somer Pagliaro. Somer is another Arizona resident who makes the short 3.5 hour trip to Rocky Point whenever she can. While in Rocky Point Somer enjoys jet skiing in the Sea of Cortez and dancing at the clubs in El Mirador and Calle 13. Somer will be making that short trip to the beaches of Rocky Point once more for our calendar signing party on June 6th at Chango’s, so don’t miss this chance to be among the first to own this beautiful calendar and have it signed by Somer and all her friends. In the meantime, enjoy these images taken on our last trip to Puerto Penasco, Mexico.
Featured Model of the Week: Jessica Kelley
This weeks featured model is Jessica Kelley. Jessica won a slot during our second contest at Chango’s Bar and Grill in Rocky Point, Mexico. Not only is she a beautiful model but she’s also a very talented singer, song writer, and musician as well, which she proved when she got up and sang several songs with the band on the night of the contest. Jessica is a resident of Phoenix where she works at a local restaurant, and performs her music whenever and wherever she can. Jessica loves visiting Rocky Point at every opportunity, and she’ll have that opportunity again for our calendar release party on June 6th at Chango’s. This is gonna be a weekend FILLED with great music, as this is also Circus Mexicus weekend with Roger Clyne and the Peacemaker. The show will be on the same day as our release party, right across the street. Rumor has it that some of the artists from Circus Mexicus’ opening acts will be at Chango’s for our party, and who knows, maybe we’ll coax a song or two out of Jessica. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of Jessica!
