I still think that the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency is a pretty good show, but unfortunately, I don't think that the producers quite know what they want to do with it. Considering that it is now at least half way through its first season, some would consider this a problem. The problem is that the show has Janice's name on it, and Janice is the reason that most people start watching the show. While Janice is a great personality, I would have to say that she has not yet proven that she can carry her own show. Janice will rant, Janice will rave, and doesn't seem to know what she wants to do with her models from one week to the next. Those models, who are mostly no-names, are much more interesting than her. Too bad we hardly see them.
In terms of her business, I think that Janice is benefiting from her television show. I'm not sure how much she is taking in, but there is no way that she would be renting the kind of space she is if there wasn't a television production behind the whole thing. Most of her clients are just as interested in making a name for themselves as they are in hiring Janice's models, and when it comes to dealing with the bullshit that Janice puts them through, free advertising (even if it's only on Oxygen) really helps.
Janice's latest client is Chrisitan (pronounced kris-TEE-ahn for extra snootiness) Audigier, CEO and Head Designer for Ed Hardy. You might not have heard the name, but if you've ever wanted to hit somebody because they were wearing a trucker cap, you should start with Christian. He was the CEO and Head Designer at Von Dutch when they took that staple of white trash America and made it into something trendy. As of yet, the rich and famous have yet to put their Bentley's up on cinder blocks, but I did see lots of trash in Britney's Spears' front yard, then again that could have been K-Fed taking a nap.
What Von Dutch did for obscure, iconic motorcyclists, Ed Hardy is doing for obscure, iconic tattoo artists. Seriously, if you can tell the big difference between these two lines of clothing, please let me know. Ed Hardy is going to be doing a fashion show inside the movie "7-10 Split". At first, I was wondering why they would name a movie after the most infamous spread in bowling, and then I learned that the movie was going to be starring Tara Reid. And if you need me to tell you why the words "infamous spread" and "Tara Reid" sound so hilarious in the same sentence, then you should go see your OBGYN.
The casting call is going to be in two days, but first, let's not forget that Janice is a mom and has important things to do. At first, I really liked it when they showed Janice's other side of life, but let's face it, when she's not screaming or making a scene or showing off her ass, we get bored quickly. These pieces with her kids seem like they are not so much a way for us to get a look at her life, but rather a way for her to improve her image as something other than a crazy woman who screams way too much and has an unhealthy obsession with plastic surgery.

Thanks for the recap, J-Unit. I agree this episode was very boring. I sort of miss yummy Sorin. Maybe he got dropped from her agency... Anyways, tonight's episode is apparently an hour long so it better be good!!

And J-Unit, you overlooked freaking Raymundo from Project Runway season 2 having a job... as a STYLIST! Dude was in this episode. I saw his face and flashback of that horrible hippie-inspired outfit he made for the Barbie challenge came to mind. I forgot to mention him in my post above. Not that it matters much since I'm the only one who commented on this recap... I hope you continue the recaps for the show, only 2 episodes left! You can do it! :)

THANK YOU Stacyrocks!! I've been racking my brain for a week trying to remember where I've seen Raymundo, including Googling him, IMDB him, freeze framing my DVR trying to remember where I've seen him before. Usually I can guess with Google's help almost always, but Raymundo stumped me bad. I never thought I'd find it on TVGasm, let alone in the Comment section, I barely even remember him on PR. He must not have lasted that long, did he?

I must say I'm getting bored with this show. You all are right, she cannot carry a show at all. I'm tired of her screaming and kvetching.
I also watched the awful bravo show 'work out'. Thats pretty bad too, not as bad as Ashley Parker Asshole's show, but still bad.
