Overview
The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency was a reality television series that debuted on Oxygen on June 6, 2006. The show completed four seasons, through which it followed the self-proclaimed world's first supermodel Janice Dickinson as she took on the role of a modeling agent to her own eponymous agency, also called The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, which opened for business in November 2005. The first season follows her opening of the agency, including the difficulty in finding models of Janice's vision, getting them proficient in front of the camera, obtaining financial backing and establishing a reputation for her agency. Subsequent seasons followed the development of the agency and a constantly changing cast of models. A number of the male models are openly gay, and a number of the agency's clients are gay-oriented businesses. This resulted in many of the episodes being gay-themed. Oxygen aired a one-hour holiday special to bridge a gap between the first and second seasons, entitled Christmas with the Dickinsons. In the UK, there was to be a British version of the show with supermodel Paula Hamilton as the agency head. Like the American version, the show was to be titled after the lead. It was to be shown on the cable channel Living, which is also the home of the Top Model franchise in UK. After much planning, the show was canceled due to a lack of interest in the American version.

Overview
Janice opens season 3 with a recap of some of the jobs her models have landed since the end of season 2, noting especially J. P. Calderon and Dominic Figlio's success with 2(x)ist underwear. Dominic is offered a one year contract as "the face of 2(x)ist." A new client, VIP Latino magazine, meets with Janice seeking Latina and Latino models for a cover shoot with Carlos Mencia. Janice, realizing that she's lacking in the Latin model department, holds an open casting call. T. J. Wilk meets with Janice and Peter to let them know that he's leaving the agency. In part it is because his success with Janice has opened up other opportunities in modeling and acting and in part because he doesn't trust Janice's business partner Peter. Janices decides she needs a bodyguard. She hires Sorin, a former model with the agency, to serve as her personal security. During the Latin casting call, Janice decides to open a Latin division, specializing in what she sees as an untapped market. Among the new Latin models are CC Fontana, Alexandra Jay, Nadia Alexandria, Grasie Mercedes, Crystal Winston and Rodrigo De Carli. The clients return to see the new models and select CC, Nadia and Grasie. At the shoot, however, scheduling conflicts cause the clients to change from a cover shoot to an inside feature spread instead.
