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

Peter informs Janice that Dominic is booked by 2(x)ist and J. P. is on hold for the client so they can't be booked for the Ed Hardy show. A perturbed Janice orders Peter away and Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier books the two models anyway, along with several additional models. Brian Kehoe takes Traci on a romantic date in the mountains. He backs off, however, when he learns that Traci had gone on a date with Nathan, not wanting to "step on [Nathan's] toes." In Las Vegas, the models lounge around the Venetian Hotel pool. Desirée is stand-offish with the other models, interviewing that she doesn't care to associate with the other models. J. P. gets to know new model Payton better. Janice arrives poolside and orders the models to refrain from drinking. J. P. and Rodrigo share a room; they each interview about the awkwardness of the situation. J. P. interviews that he is not ready to pursue a relationship with anyone and he's hoping to avoid the whole situation. Later, Rodrigo rides a gondola with CC. Rodrigo tells her that he's still interested in J. P.. Janice is embarrassed to learn that Dominic is indeed double-booked for 2(x)ist and Ed Hardy. Jason Scarlatti of 2(x)ist graciously agrees to allow Dominic to leave the 2(x)ist booth to walk for the Ed Hardy show in exchange for making up the time at a later date. Jason notes the confusion he feels when he gets different stories from each of them. The models arrive at a party thrown by Christian Audigier but Desirée is a no-show. She arrives much later, after Janice has left, and leaves shortly thereafter. The next day, the models walk for Ed Hardy, in fashions with a Mad Max theme. Peter arrives for the show, to Janice's indifference. He interviews that he's learned the less they speak the better they get along. Janice upbraids Desirée before the show for her tardiness to the previous night's party and her general attitude. Despite that friction, the show is a success. Janice interviews that with her vision for the agency continuing to clash with Peter's, with complaints coming from the models and complaints from clients, she's decided that there needs to be a change. Back in Los Angeles, Janice calls a meeting of all of the models without Peter. She tells them that everything is about to change.
