The modeling industry is the lifeblood of South Beach. Models are everywhere, and due to their beauty and grace, and of course sex appeal, they "rule" South Beach. The clubs and restaurants all want to be "the place the models go", and special events and promotions are always going on to attract the models to one place or another. Everyone wants to stop and watch a photo shoot, and during "the season" (September to April), anyone walking around Ocean Drive or Lincoln Road will undoubtedly come across one, or more typically several.
There are so many models in South Beach, it may be the one city in the world where the average height of women is taller than the average height of men. It's common to see a 5'10" man walking with a 6'0" (plus high heels) statuesque woman. Although the modeling industry is dominated by female models, there is certainly a demand for male models, and South Beach has many. Tanned, muscles toned to perfection, and good looking, they provide the attractive male counterparts to the gorgeous female models.
The famous romance novelist Pat Booth once noted that there were so many models in South Beach, it was starting to rival New York, Paris, or London in sheer numbers. But she further pointed out that those are large cities spread over many miles. The South Beach models all live and work in roughly a one square mile area, making it truly "the girl watching capital of the world" (as Pat described it).
The models of South Beach are definitely incredible, and deserving of the reputation they have gotten over the past decade or so.
