The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency premieres tomorrow night on Oxygen. (Right after Deadliest Catch!) God bless everyone who fell into that trap thinking they would be discovered and whisked off to a career in the modeling industry. At best, they're going to be making nightclub appearances along with Real World has-beens.
I got this email from a contestant on the show, back when filming started:
Dear Dan,
Well heres the low down. Im on a reality show thats about Janice Dickinson (first supermodel) and her agency. Well, it's kind of a hybrid show, I guess. But I just don't really know what to expect. I got another buddy to come with me whom was on Boy Meets Boy but he got tossed right out at the first round so there really wasn't much he could tell me.
Well on the first day after the auditon shoot, we had to go into the agency with a swimsuit and some athletic gear. Assuming it was just gonna be another test shoot we all went in and met with Janice and her trainer--who then proceeded to draw on us with markers and smiley or frowny stamps like we were in fat camp and about to get lypo done. And to add insult to injury she got me infront of the cameras and called me a "gay slob with the audacity to walk into her agency with love handles". Even that I took as bullshit for the cameras. But the fact that she got her fucken twiggy ass make up guy to look at me and say " You're gay? well then, there is NO excuse for you". I think i look damn good!
I have never been so jealous in my life. Janice Dickinson yelling at you? I want to do it! I have love handles, she could use me as her plaything. Although any makeup stylist who said anything would get punched, no question.
But rest assured, this will most likely be edited out, especially the makeup guy's quips. No one cares what he, or any other peripheral character, has to say. However, I feel bad that this nice young man was hoodwinked by the whole "Janice Dickinson was the first supermodel" line that she made up for herself, which is probably what drew him to the show. Like a moth to the flame, burned by the fire.
Speaking of Boy Meets Boy--those Bravo shows were the best. Whatever happened to Manhunt?

Hi Dan! I too have recently fell under the spell of those Bering Sea pirates on the Discovery channel and had to ask - did you know that the Rollo and the Northwestern have profiles on Myspace (the ships not the crew)? Well, I find them amusing...

Hey Dan,
Manhunt...check out "Without Walls" downtown at the Taper until July 16th and you can see what I consider to be the cutest of all boys that were on Manhunt - Matt Lanter - from Commander in Chief run around in his underwear on stage...

Dan, you need to start a new thread for new shows. There's too many good shows on, and I hardly watched T.V. for the longest time. And Project Runway is starting in July.
I just started watching Deal or No Deal, too entertaining! The contestants are awesome, and I think it's the excitement of the game show that brings it out in them.

I LOVED Manhunt. The dude that was already a model but they planted him to get inside info? I didn't like him. I wanted to bite him and make him squeal like a little pig.
Do you watch Talk Sex with Sue Johannsen(sp?) I love her. I bet she's a kinky bitch.

squish Dan's love-handles and make him squeal, that's what I wanna do! Then we'll work on other causes for squealing.
... hehe

Dan:
I bet I know who the ex Boy Meets Boy guy was who went on the first audition- Michael. He said on the show that he was a model and he has a web site that lists his current modeling gigs. Michael was the guy James kept calling Rico Suave. I didn't think he was all that great looking.
I have no love handles or stomache. I attribute this to my super model dieting program. Just eat as little as possible! It works. Though only drawback is that you feel hungry all day. But isn't looking like a stick figure worth it? I was heavy in grade school and most of myteens years. When I came out I was determined that I would never again be shut out of being part of anything or gay culture.
So take that Janice Dickinson. You are a middle aged drama queen who needs to be in rehab and on valium if you aren't already. I nice designer straight jacket wouldn't hurt either.
Love ya, Dan. Keep up the good work!

Well I prefer her other tag line "And then some trucker could come butt fuck me"

Oh hun! Janice Dickinson is nothing more than a post-menstrual tampoon washed up on the shores of of Has Been. Honestly, who does she think she is fooling with all that sarcasm and bitterness? Someone needs to clue her in--such persona is strictly for for the realms (or is that rimming??) of Drag Queens. If I have to listen or, god forbid, watch that hagath drag her snail trail ass across the small screen anymore I swear I'm going to wretch up last year's Gay Pride's purple pills. It won't be a pretty sight.
Loves and Kisses,
Miss Vicious Vixen (First Super Sucker of the World) Mission Stardust

Sorry, John O you are wrong. The model was Kevin and he was gross. Matt Lanter was the bat boy from Atlanta. He plays Geena Davis's son on Commander in Chief. He never had acting experience before MANHUNT. Hope the play is awesome. He looks gorgeous on CIC

For the record, Bravo has come right out and said that thus far they have no interest in going back to Manhunt land. They just didn't get the ratings that Tyra gets with Top Model or that Heidi gets with Project Runway.

It's funny that you mentioned Manhunt in this post for two reasons. First, the executive producer of Manhunt is also the EP on the new Janice show -- so you can definitely expect to see lots of what that show had to offer (Sorin's ass, for instance). Second, you might recognize two of the models from Manhunt in the JDMAgency -- John Stallings and Maurice Something-or-Other. They join the agency in the first few episodes.

Carelessly planned projects take three times longer to complete than expected.
Carefully planned projects take four times longer to complete than expected,
mostly because the planners expect their planning to reduce the time it takes.
