I am a huge fan of Yolanda Hadid; she is a mentor to me. Her struggles have been huge, going through a divorce from David Foster and having lyme disease, but through it all she has managed to keep her dignity and pursue her dreams. Her two daughters, Bella and Gigi, are super models; as well as her son model Anwar, all from the guidance and love of their dear mother. Yolanda also manages both of them and you can tell that she doesn\u2019t put up with any BS. Yolanda was a part of 4 seasons of Real House Wives of Beverly Hills and during that time, she became bedridden with Lyme disease. To me, her bravery and willingness to show her real story, was beyond brilliant, but truly it was her real life. After 7 years she is well enough to start her own business, going back to her roots with the show \u201cMaking a Model,\u201d on Lifetime. It\u2019s a competition story of sorts, but to me it\u2019s more of a basic training on how to be a super model from the best, Yolanda Hadid.<\/p>\n
The episode that I saw was the beginnings of the competition where Yolanda does hair makeovers and gets these girls ready for their first audition\/interview with the IMG agency, which is the biggest modeling agency in the world. To Yolanda\u2019s dismay, the girls didn\u2019t do their research and neither did their mothers. When they were each asked whom their favorite photographer is, none of them had answers, including their mothers. Yolanda is whipping them all into shape; she has the wisdom and discipline to make them all a success stories. But her basic message was that of empowerment and that a pretty face could only take you so far. You need to be educated, well spoken, and have some life experience. She says that demanding respect is a huge part; by looking into someone\u2019s eyes and firmly shaking their hand, you will always seal the deal.<\/p>\n
