"What I'd like to show you now is exactly how you get an attitude when you model. An attitude is basically your feeling. Well now that you know how to catwalk and, for the men, have a stylish walk, we definitely want to create an attitude. In our age, typically men and women keep a smile that's just close-lipped and feel really self-confident about what we're doing, and that's really what attitude is by definition -just an overload of self-confidence. What's wrong with that? So what I'd like to do is show you the walk for the lady with attitude. I'm going to start back and move forward, overlapping the feet and move back again with my attitude. You can see I feel very confident about what I'm doing. It's important that I have an attitude. For the men who are walking up with their feet side-by-side, again that little pause creates attitude. Their lips are together but not tight. They have a little bit of a look, not of arrogance, we don't feel arrogant here, but we do feel confident in what we're doing. We've trained, we now know how to step it out. It's not an ordinary walk, let's face it. So I want you on your face to feel that power. That's your attitude. You know exactly what you're doing, and that's what creates a great feeling about modeling. Now that we've worked on our attitude for men and women, and we know that attitude is really from within, it's our over-confidence that we have about our training through modeling, what I'd like for you to do is work with me on facial expressions."
