  • Cynthia Bailey’s The Bailey Agency Reveals New Male Model: Apollo Nida!! [PHOTOS]

    Aug, 30 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Cynthia Bailey of The Real Housewives of Atlanta pulled a few of her celebrity friends into the fold for her recent model search for The Bailey Agency.

    Jay-Z’s ROCAWEAR joined forces with the supermodel and her co-host, legendary male model Tyson Beckford, to reveal the fresh new face chosen during the weeks long contest.

    The winner, who will most likely be revealed during Season 5 of RHOA, received a $10,000 cash prize from ROCAWEAR, a one year contract with CLICK Models and a double fashion spread in Vibe / Vibe Vixen, shot by celebrity photographer Derek Blanks.

    And while that’s all well and good… the real tea is that the event was actually all about Apollo Nida, husband of Bailey’s RHOA castmate, Phaedra Parks who was revealed as The Bailey agency’s newest talent!

    Apollo got a job y’all! More photos from the event below…

    According to photographer FreddyO,

    In addition to showcasing the finalists, the event was also the official introduction of The Bailey Agency’s newest celebrity model and talent, Apollo Nida (RHOA). Celebrity and notable judges included Derek Blanks (Photographer), Reggie Wells (Makeup Artist), Nadia Shahrik (CLICK Models), Niki McGloster (Vibe Vixen) and Suzie Sugarman.

    The Winner Will be announced later but I have to say I was quite impressed…

    Peter Thomas and Tyson Beckford

    Congrats Cynthia! Looks like a great event…

    Are you looking forward to seeing more of Apollo?

      Apollo is nice looking. He can go for a model, probably the best decision her agency has made because her people are cute but not too modelesque. I think Apollo could pull it off way better than Tyson Beckford. That guy just aint cute to me.

      In the pic wit Tyson and Apollo;Tyson’s look in his eyes are saying “I’ll give it to u” to Apollo.& Apollos eye was like “Oh u know I can take it” Peter n Tyson are fingering each other in the butt they so close in the pic with them both. These men are obvoiously using Cynthia to get to each other. Lmao Btw maybe Phaedra trying to let him shine if he is the winner if he aint maybe rumors are true

      why go through all of the drama of having a scout if she already knew who she was going to pick? That’s silly and a waste of people’s time. Just name Apollo and be done with it.

        Good point. It also makes her agency seem phony if all she is going to do is big up her friends for the sake of ratings for her show. There are plenty good looking black men in GA and neighboring states not to mention her stomping grounds of NY. Why not give the job and the cash to a man who truly needs it? Apollo already has a job and a 2nd sourc of income via his wife Phaedra.

      Call me a hater, but I just don’t see the hype about Cynthia. She’s not cute to me – not ugly but not hot. The whole super model thing, never heard of seen her until this show. Although Naomi’s head it pushed back all she has to do it pull the bangs down and she’s back to being fierce….nothing’s fierce about Cynthia.

        I kind of agree….she’s "average" lookswise but she is tall & built like a model…her sister ain’t that cute either but she managed 2 snag an overseas ball player didn’t she??….Cynthia could step it up a bit….she can certainly do better than Peter cause his attitude is supastank…how she go from Leon (sexy baby daddy) 2 Peter Thom-ass-hole anyway….

        old school, been in the business for years.

          Faith, I was thinking the very same thing myself. I remember seeing Cynthia in magazines and runway shows back in the 80′s. Some people think if you’re not in an all white magazine, then you’re not a model. Smh.

        you have to be over the age of 25 to know who Cynthia is. She was a major feature in Essence during the mid to late 80s and Ebony Fashin Fair. She is that model people get when they can’t afford Naomi. Cynthia is pretty without makeup but Naomi is about to scare your baby with that face. Her hairline is non-existent too.

      Tyson’s been hanging out with too many yt folks because it seems like he’s starting to think lotion is made for him. WRONG.

      why is Peter dressed like he’s headed to the farmer’s market? i also just noticed that from these pictures, either Tyson is a lot shorter than i thought he was or Peter and Apollo are taller than i thought they were.

      That’s not finding talent. That’s just sheer laziness on her part. I call that the "Bailey Agency BULLSHIT" Tyson looks like Djimon Hunsu’s Americanized brother…lighter and ashy-er.
