The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency Recap (Episode 3.07): Fur Flies and Tummies are Tucked

Previously on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, we finally saw the full beauty of the crack addicted Ruffskin shoot and were treated to the sweetness that was J.P. Calderon's blind date with fellow gay model Rodrigo De Carli.

So far this season The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency has delivered some incredibly fun, incredibly nude, and incredibly gay themed episodes ... but sadly all good things have to come to an end. This week JDMA delivers its most humdrum episode to date, which is incredible given that part of the episode involves the models taking it all off to protest fur!

But before the hotties hit Hollywood Boulevard in the buff we have to check back in on poor timid Erika, who was last seen being berated and belittled by Jack Henry's Tia Browsh. (If you recall, newbie Erika was stiff and taking too long to get comfy in front of the camera and the client was getting testy.) In between clips of Tia telling Erika to be more "gangsta" Janice walks in the door and I fear for all parties involved. Thankfully, Janice's first instinct is to argue and we get some hysterical sound bites that are just pure JDMA genius...

Instead of just nodding along and taking Erika off the job without question, the first words out of Janice's mouth are "Well, you chose her!"Then she slams the clothes: "This outfit is horrible and it would look horrible on you or me...". You can tell it takes everything she has not to punch Tia in the face and she admits it. Pulling Erika aside in order to tell her she is being removed from the shoot, Janice confesses "I feel like going in there and putting my first down her throat!" Now there's the business woman I know and love!

Love... that's a nice segue into the most exciting portion of the show for me this week, the Agency's involvement with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). You may remember hearing about Janice and her models taking to the streets proclaiming that they'd "rather go naked than wear fur" but Janice took it one step further this week when she proclaimed that the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency would be a 100% Fur Free Agency!

PETA's Dan Mathews

Enter PETA's gay Vice President Dan Mathews who's there to educate the models on the horrors of the fur industry and to ask them to participate in their newest "naked" protest (conveniently located just outside on Hollywood Blvd.). Mathews is a total silver fox and longtime personal hero of mine so I was giddy as a school girl to see him on the show (not to mention in 2007 he was named as one of Out magazine's 50 Most Powerful Gay People in America, so swoon!).

Janice gathers her whole agency together to hear a little bit about the torturous and inhumane practices of trapping, electrocuting, beating, and skinning animals alive to cultivate fur and I'm 100% for this little educational after school special that JDMA is putting on. That is until they go and take the moment someone mentions "anal electrocution" as an opportunity to show all the gays in the agency. What's that all about?

Janice says "anal" and they cut to a shot that includes gay models Shaun, Paul and Rodrigo looking mortified, as if they had been anally electrocuted themselves. Please tell me someone else picked up on this little gem of editing.

Now is the time in our post when we discuss moments where pigs fly and hell freezes over. Never in a million years did I expect Janice and the domestic goddess Martha Stewart to share screen time but to my surprise they did. Stewart narrates the video that prompts the models to take a stand against fur; all but one, Ligia, who tells Janice that she doesn't want to participate and will continue to wear fur.

The record scratches and all the air in the room is sucked out at once as each model gasps in horror.

She's for real and the war begins! Kehoe and Chris Jones start the argument but it's Christian who lays into Ligia and Traci that threatens to kick her ass. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: who knew Traci was so ghetto?! J.P. steps in to mediate and the group takes to the streets!

I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves...

So during the show we only get to see Kehoe drop trou but as you'll notice in the next picture his "roommate" Grant stands hip to hip and cheek to cheek with his "straight BFF" in solidarity. *sorry for the crown coverage, but a little bit of each prince was peeking out :P

Here's a video of Janice being interviewed by E! about why she and her models are protesting. I had a hard time taking her seriously when the shadow from her overplumped lips could cause plants to wither and die from lack of sunlight.

It's hard to top the naked PETA protest but leave it to Janice to find something even more sensational ... her own plastic surgery!

You've got to hand it to Janice for being honest about the work she's had done and her ability to promote her vanity to anyone that will listen, including Entertainment Tonight.  As she points out on her way into Dr. Ryan's office, flawless is something she expects and demands of her models and of herself, so it's time for a tummy tuck!  Within minutes she's been poked, proded, cut and tucked into a new "better looking aging Janice Dickinson" -- I love how she refers to herself in the 3rd person. 

Am I dreaming or did you guys notice this too: when they wheeled her old bones out on the gurney after surgery, did you notice that her head was all wrapped up as well?  Did she get a little extra work done that we weren't privy to?  Is she holding back on us?  One of my friends swears they were pixelating her turkey neck during all of her '60s up-do interviews but I'm skeptical.

After a couple days recuperation she is back on the job (against Doctor's orders, supposedly) to assist her friend Christian Audigier in casting for his huge Ed Hardy show.  Aside from the great shots of Maurice, Dominic, J.P., Michael, Payton and Rodrigo, the only thing worth noting was that yet another Janice and Peter throwdown leaves J.P. and Dominic wondering if they lost their big 2xist gig because of ill communication within the agency.  Scandal's a brewin'...

Here's a video of some of Janice's models from Ed Hardy's show at The Playboy Mansion (2007). This is not from the show they were casting for but I figured why not show you some of the models working the runway for a change.

So what did you guys think?  This was a pretty boring episode, right?  I mean, aside from the PETA protest and the delicious plastic surgery scoop I felt like nodding off between commercial breaks.  Next week we know we're at least guaranteed some J.P. action as the future of his 2xist contract hangs in the balance. Is there a chance we'll see Date #2 from J.P. and Rodrigo? What about boyfriends Shaun and Paul? Aren't they due for some on screen storylines in the near future? And will this Janice/Peter Hamm saga ever end? Until next week...
