I really don't get why everyone is bashing Janice lol.
I have sooo much respect for her and what she represents. She is so honest and straight forward, and you have to be when you are in the modeling industry. If peole can't handle the truth, they can't be models. To be a successful model, you have to be unique, beautiful, healthy, and very hard working. Plus size models are not healthy and in my opinion, and most of the worlds, they are not attractive. WHen the agency added on a plus size division, Janice was justified in what she said. It is JANICE DICKINSON'S modeling agency. She doesnt believe in plus size and it certainly is not high fashion. When Alana said she is not fat she is "voluptuous" or whatever, that is such bull. Alana is fat just as janice said. If you are a size 14, and you excersise daily and eat healthy, and thats your healthy weight, thats fine!!! I absolutely don't judge your for that. However Alana is quite obviously obeise.. shes huge. Come on people! Janice is trying to get her models in shape and help them develop healthy eating habits. How would you expect her to be able to do that when shes got these big women in the house eating all the time? Janice has given every single one of her models the opportunity of a life time! I know soo many people who would give anything to be in their shoes, but when you dont work for it, you gotta go. A bad attitude and lack of motivation is not accaptable, and unfortuanately we saw a lot of that on the show. Janice is not perfect people, no one is, but she offered these models a great future and I would have loved an opportunity like that. All this crap about janice being such a b***h and whatever is so ridiculous. Janice is great

I would love to hear some responses from either side

Hi.

I accidently saw the show and Janice's viewpoints on beauty and I also read your post. And well... you said that you'd like to have a reply, so here are my toughts.

1- I don't really understand your point of view on beauty and what do you think that the life of a model is. But I think that you've it wrong.
I think that modeling is a career that fits into Arts therefore it's a career based on taste and some smokescreens sometimes I can tell you this because I worked in the making of a website for a modeling agency and the smokescreen part fits in the use of photoshop to hide some "unwanted" issues of the models that were photographed. Nevertheless the sacrifice for beauty should end when health is compromissed. I'm not saying that a 250lbs person is healthy nevertheless that person can have some hormonal issues that are not his/her fault. And they've the right to live and to feel good in this earth.
But I'm not saying either that a 25 yr girl that is 67 inch tall should be thin enough to fit in a 15 yr girl skirt and should weight 88 lbs for the sake of someone that thinks that this is the way a model should be.

2- Janice Dickinson is actually saying that I 25yr girl sould be thin enough to fit in a 15yr girls skirt.
I saw an episode of her show where she treats a girl like trash. A girl that is gorgeous and that has a explendid natural body. Just because this girl couldn't fit in the sizes that Janice wanted. And this is just an example. Probably you also seen this episode.
Janice Dickinson doesn't look natural. Her lips are horrible, her face is... undiscribable, and... well... for someone that is a self-proclaimed supermodel... Man... I hope that the people from the fashion world doesn't follow her tracks. because if they do... (just feel in this blank! it ain't good.)
Now... some TV station made the huge mistake to show this... show...
Well I think that I should respect the television tastes of everyone, but my fear is that little girls and teens see this, and also people that are a bit confused about their body and appearance.
This show can cause severe damage on the healt of some people that try to follow her path.

3- Being different is not always a good thing specially when it means that you can die because of it!

4- Being self-centered, destroying people because they're not walking skeletons ain't original through out the history of the world we had alot of people like that.

To wrap this... I hope that they don't make any more seasons of this show, and I do really hope that people don't get severe health issues because of this.
And to the fashion world. For the agents please LEARN ABOUT ANATHOMY AND ABOUT WHAT'S AN HEALTY BODY!!!

Thank you,
Cepheu
