So now, “Remodeled” has finally aired! I really enjoyed seeing all the peeps at the Network on the show! Everyone looks GREAT!!
I read some of the reviews and they were a mixed bag. Some loved the show (like I did), and others called it posed or fake. One of the things that I feel that people may not understand is how passionate Paul Fisher is. He really puts his heart into what he believes in. And what he is doing to change the lives of not just the agencies that he represents under “The Network,” but also the models, is truly significant!
I have seen firsthand how Paul F behaves, when he believes in a girl. My husband (also named Paul) and I have recently started managing Pia Pakarinen, the ex-Miss Finland. It all started with an interview my husband published at The Network about Pia just before the Miss Universe contest.
Original Pia-article On The Network
Pia subsequently gave up her crown, because ironically, the Miss Finland-organization is run like a disreputable Hollywood-agency – in fact, they, if anyone should get “remodeled!”.
We were proud of Pia’s courage, and invited her over to LA to regroup and figure out what she should do after resigning her crown and title.
While in LA, we took Pia to meet Paul Fisher, who was truly taken by her beauty. Since, he has opened many doors for her, and played a vital role in giving Pia the opportunity for a new life in Hollywood. He has opened these doors without asking for anything in return. Yes, we plan to “give back” to Paul as well – as this is a theme that permeates through the Network, and something I too believe is of immense importance. But he hasn’t asked that of us first. Even though on the show he talks about the importance of i.e. “exclusivity.” He didn’t “have” to help. He did so anyway. That, in and of itself, like anyone living in Hollywood would know – is rare. People don’t “just help.”
I have attached Paul’s letter to everyone who contributes to The Network to give an idea about his world view.
So what you see in Remodeled may seem staged for TV, that Paul is “mean”, or whatever. The truth is that Paul is working to change an industry. And the modeling industry obviously has a lot of problems. It remains to be seen whether or not Americans want to see what REALLY happens behind the scenes in the modeling world, or if we should just watch another contest where girls are paraded around with numbers, and we can all mindlessly pass judgment on the contestants ourselves.
