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

Despite their surprise, the models perform well at the Ed Hardy fashion show. At the next day's Custo Barcelona casting, the clients select J. P., Chris Jones and Payton of the men and Alexis, Desirée and Nadia among the women. Kehoe provokes controversy by showing up in an aussieBum swimsuit, a client that had fired the agency. An incensed Janice cut the suit right off Kehoe's body. Janice and the clients clash over whether the models will be paid for the fitting. Janice interviews that she's fighting for her models while Peter interviews about the difficulty in smoothing things over with alienated clients. Ultimately the clients decide, since they are paying for the models anyway for the fitting, to just go ahead and book them. That night the models go out to a local gay club called Halo. Kehoe's sexuality is again called into question. Chris learns that Alexis will be remaining in Miami for several months and each of them interviews that the difficulty of maintaining a cross-country relationship has led them to decide not to attempt it. At the Custo Barcelona shoot the models are initially performing below par. The photographer pushes them and as the day progresses they improve. Janice and the models are surprised to learn that the shoot is two days, not one. Janice interviews that Peter again failed to communicate with her and J. P. interviews that no one is sure how much they are being paid for the job. The models confront Peter that night, who allays some of their concerns about the money. Following a final interview about her issues with Peter, Janice and her attorney meet with Peter to advise him that Janice wishes to dissolve the partnership. Janice signs the paperwork to end it and Peter leaves. He interviews that breaking up the business may not be as easy as Janice expects, as she may not even own the rights to the name "Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency." A jubilant Janice then announces to her models that Peter has been asked to leave.
