I ain’t cage-y about my biz MODEL SETS UP AGENCY FOR FIGHTS

ALESSANDRA Ambrosio looks mellow in yellow during her trip to Cali as she chills with a cocktail in one hand.
The model was clearly having fun as she took to Instagram to share the best bits of her break with fans.
BIKINI queen Pamela Ryan has set up a “cage girl” modelling agency to cater for the demand at Irish fighting events.
Cage girls — named after the octagon where Mixed Martial Arts fights take place — add glamour to boxing, MMA and kickboxing events.
Pamela works as one herself — and was inundated with jobs at MMA and boxing rings.
Girls
She wanted other Irish girls to get in on the modelling work that has come from the explosion of combat sports here.
Pamela told the Irish Star: “There’s no agency in Dublin run by someone who’s done it all and been there.
“My new agency, PR Model Management, will be the go-to place for hiring cage girls. There are so many events and new promotional companies starting up, looking for girls — there’s a huge niche. Clients for MMA and boxing who are looking for cage girls are finding models from outside Ireland — but there is so much talent here. They’re getting girls in from the UK but that doesn’t seem right when there are so many here.
“I get asked to do so many jobs here and abroad — and I have to turn them down and end up finding girls for clients I know on Instagram.
“I thought if I’m doing it anyway and there’s loads of work, I may as well do it as my own business.”
Dubliner Pamela (31) will be the sole manager to her models but also provide a bespoke service to clients. Pamela, a former Miss Bikini Ireland, works for an IT software company by day.
